KUHN COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Hanged Himself In tho Garret of
His Residence.
Dnniel Kuhn, who was employed as
a fireman nt the Archbald mine, com
mitted suicide after coming homo from
work nt 7 o'clock yesterday morning
by hanging himself with a rope In the
garret of his houso on Williams street,
near the Archbald breaker, In Lacka
wanna township. He was HO years old,
and Is survived by his wlfo and three
young children.
Kuhn was on tho night shift this
week. The usual time ho got home
when working at night was 6.30, and It
was a half or three-quarters of an hour
later when ho got homo yesterday.
There did not appear to be anything
wrong with him. Ho went quietly up
stairs, nnd ten or fifteen minutes later
one of his children went up to tell him
breakfast was ready. She discovered
his body hanging from one of tho raft
ers. Tho ropo was about three feet
long. His legs were on the floor and
bent under him.
Coroner Longstreet decided an Inves
tigation was unnecessary.
M'GRAIL SENT TO ASYLUM
The ex-Councilman of tho Twentieth
Ward Is on tho Verge of
Mental Collapse Politics
Caused His Troubles.
Ex-Councllmnn Thomas McGrnll
wns taken to the insane department
of the Hillside Home on tho 5,50 Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western train
yestcrelny afternoon bv Mounted Of
ficer Dyer and Patrolman Watklns.
Oftleer Dyer nnd Patrolman Rodham
went after, him with the patrol wagon
to his homo In the Twentieth ward at
2 o'clock in the afternoon, and they
found him In his shoemaker shop very
busy arranging nnd disarranging the
bench?s and other articles.
Ho submitted quietly but not un
complainingly to arrest. The ofUcer.4
did not need to tell him they wero
after htm. Ho took In tho situation nt
a glance, und nsked for time to put
on his best clothes. His request was
compiled with. Hj arranged himself
In a clean shirt, clean collar nnd tte,
and put a stock of tobacco In his box,
remarking that he mightn't have a
chance to get uny smoke very readily
again.
On all matters he talked of he was
perfectly rational, except on his fam
ily. He has the delusion that his wlf3
Is conspiring against him, and that
she has tho active co-operation of tho
political leaders of tho Twentieth
ward. His mind Is on the verge of an
Incurable collapse, but treatment may
restore him. Svithin two months ho
has got so bad that ho was entirely
Irresponsible for his actions.
A week ago he went to the culm
washery at the Meadow Brook col
liery and set himself up as the fore
man, ordering tho workmen around
wildly. He has done the same thing
In the steel mill yard. The papers for
his committment were made out by
Poor Director Terppe, signed by Drs.
P. F. Gunster and A. K'olb, who ex
amined him, and were sworn to before
Alderman Lentes, of the Eleventh
ward.
Not many years ago Mr. McGrall
was one of the most Industrious nnd
respected residents of the Twentieth
ward. He entered politics, was elect
ed councilman and soon afterwards
took to the flowing bowl. Ills career
slnca has b3cn downwnrd. Ho hns
been in tho asylum heretofore for
short periods.
THIEF IN THE CO'JRT HOUSE.
Overcoats and a Hat Stolen from the
Lawyers' Room.
Some one, supposedly a sneak thief,
stole Attorney R. D. Stuart's overcoat
and hat from tho lawyer's room In the
rear of the main court room during
argument court yesterday morning. A
hat that any tramp possessing the
slightest semblance of self-respect
would not deign to wear, was left on
tho hoolc that was occupied by Mr.
Stuart's coat and hat. Mr. Stuart had
to borrow a hat from Prothonotary
Corcland to enable him to get to his
home in Carbondale.
'A few days ago an overcoat belong
ing to Attorney W. S. Huslandor, was
stolen from tho same room. Tho thief
Is probably the same daring fellow
who stole John Power O'Connor's over
coat from the ofllco of the chief of
police Wednesday.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
FOREMAN REESE
STRICKEN WHILE RETURNING
PROM THE MINE.
There Was an Explosion in the JUllss
Mine, Where Ho Was Employed,
Early Yesterday Morning, and
When He Was Going to His Home
After tho Excitement nnd Danger
Was Over He Sank Down and Ex
piredHis Wife Was In This City.
Inside Foreman Edwin Reese, of tho
Bliss colliery nt Leo mine, Luzerne
county, dropped dead while returning
from an Investigation of an explosion
In the mines early yesterday morning.
Apoplexy was given as tho causo of the
sudden demise. Foreman Reese had
been summoned to the mine nt 1.30
o'clock and accompanying him on his
tour or investigation were Outside
Foreman T. H. Carey and Assistant
Inside Foreman John Evans. The ex
plosion caused considerable damage,
but fortunately there was no one work
ing Inside at tho time.
Directions were left for the cleaning
up of the debris and nt 3.30 o'clock the
three foremen came up out of tho mine.
Evans left Messrs. Reese nnd Cnrey at
the engine house nnd they started
home. Hardly had they gono a hun
dred yards when Foreman Reese said,
"Tom, 1 feel quite faint," and as Fore
man Carey turned to him, he fell for
ward. Carey caught him, but he ex
pired In a few moments. Assistance was
summoned and the body wns removed
to his home. A physician was called
In, but death had come almost instant
ly and there was no help.
MRS. REESE WAS HERE.
Mrs. Reese and her children were here
visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jo
seph Reynolds, of Hampton street, and
she was hastily summoned home. She
wuh accompanied by her mother and
brother, John Reynolds, of Reynolds
Bros., stationers.
Deceased was highly esteemed by all
who knew him, and his sudden end
came as a terrible shock, he not hav
ing been previously 111. Ho came to
West Scranton from Wales, where he
was born, about twenty years ago, nnd
resided here for twelve years. Seeking
employment under the Delawnre, Lack
awanna nnd Western comnany, ho
arose to tho responsible position of In
side foreman at the Hallstead colliery
at Duryea. Three years ago, when the
coal property at Lee mine was opened
up, he was transferred to the Bliss col
liery, nnd has since remained there.
By constant attention to duty, he
proved himself one of the best inside
foremen In tho employ of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company.
Fourteen years ago he was married
to Miss Mary Jane Reynolds, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph II. Reynolds, of
Hampton street. Two sons. Arthur,
twelve years, nnd Gordon, seven years
of age, blessed the union. Tho wife
and children are the solo survivors.

LEBANON 1TES WANT S50.
Mnde a Proposition to Settle with
Chief Hickey for That Amount.
Tho board of engineers met last
night In Chief Hlckey's ofllco In city
hall. A report of tho Columbia com
pany trouble has not come to tho
chief, and In its absence the matter
was not brought up for discussion.
What was of most interest before
the meeting was the Lebanon rum

made to figure. Ho received a tele
gram yesterday from tho parties con
cerned In tho rroFecutlon offering to

Tho charge ngnlnrt him Is disorderly

he would expect, nnd It might be a
larger sum, but even t thnt the ad
dition of tho costs, which nro largo
owing to tho distance the officer enmo
to servo the warrant, and tho number
of witnesses, would bilng the total to

The board decided If he will mnko
this compromise, to chip In nnd help
him. However, he feels It Is an im
position to have to pay a cent for
doing the net of a peacemaker.

pany decided upon Hartmnn's barn,

There tho company will make its

of a Patient.
A man giving his name as Ludwig
Paulesen was brought to the Lacka

part of tho time during yesterday and
last night. Yet ho docs not appear to
have any Injuries or bodily aliment that
would put a person in such a condition.
Tho doctors at the hospital are not al

pulse normal, and his breathing is
regular. Neither does ho appear to be
