Morris tired of life, over trouble caused by having too many wives, shot himself at bis father's home, two miles above Nordmont, on Monday. The cir cumstances of the affair have a pro nounced air of romance about them. It is of love running rough, of stern, upright parents correcting the evil ways of an erring son, and an unlawful wife turned out of doors, supplemented by tragedy. Early last spring Morris was mar ried to Miss Alma Fdkin who lived with her aunt Mrs. Anson Uartlow at Strawbridge. Morris and bis wife continued to make their home with Mr. Uartlow up to a few weeks past, when young Morris realized that he 1 loved Bartlow's wife much better than he did his own. An elopement was planed and in being carried out one night, was discover ed by Mr.Bartlow who kindly invit ed the fleeing lovers to remain until the next morning when ho would help them off. This being more agreeable to them, they did so and the next day they flew the coop. A few days after, Morris and wife No. 2 arrived at the home of his father, Mr. Thomas Morris. All went smoothly until this juncture, when the parents had learned the true state of affairs, wife No. 2,(Mrs. Edith Uartlow) was ordered to leave the house, and reprimands made to William who is a few months past 21 years of age. There was evident ly trouble in the household for sev eral days after, judging by the tone of the letter young Morris wrote and left in his pocket book. An exact copy of the letter reads as follows: Nordmont, Pa. Dear Father and Mother. You said you never had any trouble till 1 come home and 1 hope 1 never will bring any trouble to you any more, tell Enos and Nettie thank them for being so kind to Edith and me you will lind Edith over to Ella. I hope you and mother will youse the rest of the boys and Nettie and Enos better than you yoused me and Edith. I hope you folkes will think of this offen. good by one and all. Your son M. W. Morris. Monday morning at about 8 o'clock be arose and remained about the house some few minutes and then went to the orchard near by and sat down underneath an apple tree. Shortly after this two reports of a revolver was heard by the Morris family and by the time they reached the scene of the tragedy he was breathing his last. He held the weapon close to his forehead when the fatal shot was tired, the ball en tering directly in front and lodging in the brain. The second shot was effected by his gripping on the trig ger of the revolver as he lay dying with his arm by his side, the bullet entering the top of his instep and found in his shoe when removed. At the time of this occuranee his two wives were stopping with John Little who resides in that neighbor hood. Mis legal wife was allowed to come and view the remains, but this privilege was refused to wife No. 2. Coroner 11. G. Willson was summoned, but on finding the letter Morris had written, considered an inquest unnecessary. The funeral was held in Nordmont on Tuesday. (■rand Jurors: —E. M. Letts, Geo.

One of Our County's Prosperous Mnnu factoring Establishments. The Word- . mont Acid Works. t Mic of the most thriving o:' Snlli-1 van county's numerous industrial; establishments is the acid factory of Sutton-l'eck Chemical <'o. situated at Mordmont, where willing hands tiiul employment and timber owners find a ready sale for their wood. The factory at Emmons, recently burned, was operated by this same company, who have reconstructed another and have it nearly ready to resume work. Each factory employs fifteen men to operate them while in summer fifty men are engaged in cutting wood and in the winter the number is sometimes increased to one hun dred. Fifteen cords of four-foot wood are consumed daily and the out put for that amount is li(H) bushels of charcoal, li.KK) lbs. of acetate of lime and 200 galons of wood alcohol. This concern has grown from one small factory in Indiana county to one that owns and controles three large factories all equipped with the most modern inachiner and devices for making the highes grade product that is possible. The factory at Em mons began operation in March, 1898; the one at Nordmont in Sept. 1899. As will be seen in another column the two old companies have dissolved and organized under a new name, the object being to effect a consideration with other factories which now comprises the same stock of Sutton-l'eck Chemical Co., and still retains all the parties named in the notices of former companies. At the head of this company are E. M. Peck, Pres., John W. Sutton, Sec'y., and it. Kessler, Jr., Treas. anil Gen. Manager, all of whom are active and progressive business men highly es teemed by those doing business with them. The daily product of each factory, as before stated, seems to be a petty big out put as a whole, yet it will not be wondered that these establish ments are crowded with orders while works are being run steady day and night, when it is known that the product is sold to various govern ments, steam ship agents and iron manufacturers. The charcoal is used by iron foundries and cooking galleys on ocean steamers. Wood alcohol is exported to Holland, Ger many and France where it is used for making smokeless gun powder. This alcohol is also used in place of turpen tine for cutting paints and varnish, and is deadly poison. Acetate of lime is also used for making smoke less gun powder and dyeing fabrics. It is an industry of the kind that we would like to see in operation at this place. The firm works in all about three hundred men,and is liberal and fair in its dealings with all its employees. They Saw the Humorous Side ol Ijif'e. W. L. Huffman and family, Vernon Hull and family, Mrs. Wni. Hull, Mrs. J. W. Huffman, Mr. <;. E. Darby of Hillsgrove and Mrs. S. D. Darby of Hoytvilie were in the county capital a few hours on Satur day while on their way home from a couple day's outing at the Eagles Mere Chautauqua. While here one of the parties took the editor out back of the wood pile to confidential ly tell him some of the outlandish "breaks" some of his party had made and told how ashamed he was of them. It seems that Mr. Huffman in leading the party to Laporte,took the driveway around the lake which was traveled several times before advised by some of the party that he was on the wrong road. Mr. Hull he said, carried away the key to his hotel room thinking it was a present from the good clerk. Darby's mon uments of truthes were heard by more than the Editor and that is why he got the other end of the affair. Mr. Darby thought he ought to lead the party ingoing into Eagles Mere so that he could better show the quality of the 'Mere how grandly Hillsgrove society could put on airs. This honor was granted to him an • on the way, unknown to him, a bundle of hay and a sheaf of oats was studiously placed in the back end of his carriage so that it would attract attention. And it did. As they passed Hotel Eagles Mere Mr. Darby was unable to account for his feeling as green as a gooseberry at the great hooboo raised about that "man with the hoc" coming to town. Score one for Darby. Superintendents of Sunday Schools —A blank has been sent to each school in the county for a report. Any school failing to receive one, please communicate with me at once.
