"William Gar rison Trunkey, a leading attorney of "War ren, Pa., and son of a leading jurist of Pennsylvania, committed suicide here this morning by hanging. He came -here ten days ago, eaflering from a protracted de bauch, and was placed under the care of physicians, who gave him Turkish hatha, and he was recovering rapidly. This mornins he eluded an attendant, and when found he was hanging near the bath rooms with life extinct. The deceased was 37 years old and leaves a wife, daughter of Eobert Cochran, of Franklin, Pa. Yesterday he telegraphed relatives he was recovering from the grip and would return home in a day or two. Trunkey was a prominent Mason, and the Knights Templar here will escort his re mains to Franklin, Pa., to-morrow for in terment, Yestcrdaj- he said: "If I get through this all right I intend going to an institution where they will take the appetite for liquor away." The condition in which the body was found indicated that Trunkey had deliber ately premeditated the act, and was will ing to undergo the torture of a slow stran gulation. A slender clothesline, on which towels were hung to drr, ran along the cor ridor of the bathrooms, fastened to a small watcrpipe. Seizing the loose end. he formed a slip noose, thrust his head into it, and the weight of his body pressing the cord on the neck caused death. His feet were on the floor, and he could easily have released himself had he desired to do so. The Victim 'Well rrorldcd For. His clothing was of the finest texture, his under garments ot silk, and the jewelry he tv ore indicated that, aside from his love for liquor, he was a man of refined tastes. He was well provided with funds, carried numerous railroad passes, and in his satchel was found a large photo of his father. Judge Trunkey. It is probable that upon awaken ing, he was seized with a suicidal mania, and. seeing no one near, slipped into the corridor and committed the act of self-destruction. It was learned to-nigbt that he left home two weeks ajro to go to Mercer, Pa., and it is probable that from ther e he came here, as lie arrived at the Tod House Saturday mom inc.

Everybody thinks Sullivan will kill Corbett or come near t A reporter saw the big fellow last evening, and he said, after reading a tele gram: "Well, I'm very glad of it It is just like my going out on the street and picking up the money tho match is made for. Corbett is a clever, shifty young boxer that cannot punoh a hole in a tnb of butter. I sparred with him in San Xtauolsoo and know what his speed is. He won't stand the punching I will give him. While the' articles are signed I can't yet believe Cor bett will meet me, and I will be the most surprised man in this country if I find he is in the ring with me the night of Septem ber?.

As to the place of battlo, New Orleans will suit me all right I see Corbett does not want to fight in Son Franoisco, and I would rather fight betore the Olympic Club, of New Orleans. One is surer of his money there than in San Franoisco. "As to the man to train me, that does not matter much. Muldoon could not do the work, as he and I oould never hitch up to gether. Then poor Mike deary's foot is gone and he couldn't do the walking with me. A faithful follow is Mike Cleary., What I want is some big strong fellow that' can stand the work of rubbing me down and taking care of me in my work. When I start to train this time there will be no foolishness. I never felt better or stronger in my life, and the work of training will be a pleasure to me. If Johnston has se lected a plaee for me to train, I hope it will be away from all reach of crowds, where I can do the work without interference I will show those people who have been saying I could not get into condition how "wrong they are. I weigh only 240 pounds just 16 less than when I started to train for the Kilrain fight and I will have no trouble getting to 200 pounds. Only Drinking Seltnr.
