WRIGHT GOMMITTS SUICIDE Was Despondent on Accoiuit of Be ing Out or Employment Ends Lifo About 11 O'clock Tills Morning. This morning about eleven o'clock, Charles Edward "Wright committed suicide at his homo by drinking two ounces of carbolic acid. Mr. Wright had been in the employ of a cut glass concern before the labor troubles throw him out of work and It is generally supposed that hav ing been out of work for so long 41 time lie became despondent. There was no one at home at the time. iMrs. David Flshor saw him come homo about eleven o'clock and it is supposed that 110 went to his room, drank the carbolic acid, came down stairs and near the bottom he fell bruising his 'forehead. Mrs. David Fisher, who lives next door, soon after hearing the rail, called F. Kroll, thinking Mr. Wright had a fit. When Mr. KtoII arrived the man was lying in the hall. Mr. Kroll says that he did not suspect suicide and picked tho man up and laid him on a couch and went after Dr McConvill. When tho doctor arrived Wright was dead and noticing the odor of carbolic acid he examined the man and found it to be suicide by drink ing the deadly acid. On going up to the man's room he found a two ounce bottle labeled carbolic acid which was empty and beside it on a table was a glass with but a few drops of the acid remaining in it. Tho man's .mouth and lips were numed and scorched where tho fiery liquid had touched them. Dr. Mc Convill at once notified Dr. Peter son, the county coroner, and ho em panelled a jury composed of Dr. "Mc Convill, R. O'Connell, John 'Billard, F. Kroll, AVm. Hagerty and Harry Deck. After a consultation and in view of the evidence the jury re turned a vordict of death by carbolic acid administered by -his own hand with suicidal intent. 4ts8! Mrs. Wright was at a neighbor's at the time and was called soon after the finding of the body. Mr. Wright is survived by his wife, two sons, one of which is employed in the Irving Cut Glass factory, and one daughter. ItEAIi ESTATE TItANSFERS.

Snnds Is Proprietor of n' J'ouitry Knrm North-onst of Hnw ley mid Has Ono of ttio Most Complete niid Sanitary Farms Around Hero. Ono morning not Jong ago wo had tho pleasure of being conducted around tho largo poultry farm own ed and conducted by LcRoy E. Sands, of Hawley. The farm is sit uated about a mile northeast of mi n I, 11 1 a 8 Pn f,!""""! Passed Ms fiftieth year j ? vZ n m S 'n business on Wednesday, 'May S, fnS8 ,Ver?lll,fl11-. 3" f I 1912. C. C. Jndwln. In connection I land has been cleared of stones and young npplo and peach trees set in, but a small portion of tho farm is still being cleared and prepared for tho planting of apple trees. Tho farm, howover, Is mostly taken up with tho raising of thoroughbred poultry. It is a wonderful sight to ono who has never been to a place of this kind to see so many high grade birds. Mr. Sands has at the present time about 1200 birds, most ly Leghorns, which ho keeps for breeding purposes and somo of which he ships to all parts of tho country. Tho breeders are penned off and in each pen are laying boxes and roost places which, are thoroughly cleaned every day, keeping them in a snni tary condition all the tlmo. The floors of tho pens are of cement with a thin layer of straw covering them for tho poultry to roll in. Each breeder consists of Ave or six of these pons, each with their separate runway extending back in a yard, which is seeded down. When the tender shoots begin to come up they make excellent food for the birds. In each breeder there is a feed pen and hospital for lame and sick birds. They are fed grain three times a day and a prepared dry mash is before them all tho time. In a house, somo distance from tho en trance to the farm, are kept the In cubators. Several small ones are in operation all the time. In tho cen ter of the room extending almost the entire length, about twenty feet, was a mammoth hot water Incubator which holds about 3300 eggs. It is divided off into compartments and is heated by hot water. When the little chicks are hatched they are put Into a brooder where they have plenty of freedom and sunlight. Chicks are hatched here at the rate of 1000 a week. The orooder is a large place partitioned off with wov en wire into stalls and a certain number of chicks aro put Into each. 'Each stall has its separate brooder which Is kept at the same tempera ture, about 102 to 103 degrees F. aatlKtb.oy--'ar .throe weeks, old wnen tho temperature Is gradually decreased. When about three weeks old they-' are let run over the farm. Each stall has a separate runway, extending back from tho brooder and which is also Reeded down so tho young tender sprouts can be utilized as food for the young chicks. When tho' little chicks are still in the brooder they aro fed oats, and the floors of their pens are covered With cut alfalfa, which is a valuable food for them. At differ ent places all over tho farm Mr. Sands has small brooders, heated by lamps and states that when the chicks,,are, three weeks old they are let out to run over tho place. Going back to young chicks it must oo .mentioned that flve-day-old chicks' are. shipped by Mr. Sands to many states east of tho Rocky Mountains' fThe chicks aro shipped by express in small paste board boxes, -which" allow enough ajr for breaihirig purposes. Small chicks can stand.. thjs, confinement .for about forty hours; .and oven under unfav orable conditions if they aro packed right. Many of tho small chicks aro kept for breeding purposes but about one-third of tho hatch Is ship ped. Eggs are also shipped to Western states for liatching. 'About 4000 eggs aro received a week from his 2500 hens. Mr. Sands raises Leg horns mostly, but keops a few White Rocks for table ipurnosos. All his birds are thoroughbreds and ills fame for raising poultry nas reached many states of tho Union whero ho ships both eggs and birds. Mr. Sands undoubtedly has one of the most complete and sanitary poultrj farms In this part of the state and is thoroughly equipped In every way to handlo ills largo and extensive business. Tho chicken business Is certainly some business. WATCH CHEST-NUT TREES FOH IHilGilT. Watch your chestnut trees .for tho blight. The trees aro Just coming into leaf. If the leaves remain small, sickly looking and gradually assume a yellowish tinge, it is good evidence that the disease has ap peared. Later in tho spring, dead branches With withered leaves clinging to them aro positive evi dence of its appearance Among tho numerous other evi dences of the 'blight might bo noted cankers in diseased branches, small reddish blisters, many suckers or water sprouts, and tho usual orange colored pustules, fruiting spores, otc. Where such conditions appear, tho commission, or its representatives should bo notified without delay. Tho continued rapid spread of tho chestnut blight which has entailed extraordinary losses to timber own ers, attention being called to this in tho last issue of Tho Citizen, aggro- gating millions or dollars, can only bo controlled if new points of In' fection aro promptly located and tho diseased trees removed and tho hark destroyed by tiro.

Ho at tended tho public schools of tho place until he was twelve years of age, when his father took him from school to assist him at his trailo. He worked with, his father until ho was eighteen years of age. During these six years of labor he spent his spare moments In close study, over coming obstacles which would havo crushed a boy of less natural ability and force of character. At the ago of nineteen ho was olected a teacher In tho Carbondale schools. 'Ho was the two hundred and eighty-seventh teachor examined in tho whole of Luzorne county by the first county superintendent under the now pub He school law, and obtained the sevnth first-class certificate Issued by him.

At the age of ho lqft tho avocation of practical phar- twenty-threo f teaching and pur-'having sold his interest In tho drug and book storo to his brother, Or landa H., ho entered tho employ ot the Delaware & Hudson Canal Co. as a civil engineer, first carrying the axe and chain. At tho end of three months ho was promoted to tho head of a party, and remained In tho employ of the company until he took a position as mining engineer with Edward Jones & Co., nt Oly pliant. Pa. During this tlmo he purchased a half Interest In a con tract for furnishing coal to tho Dela ware & Hudson Canal Co. A gen eral nnd long continued strike among the miners took place and fearing that his venture would not terminate profitably, he sold his in terest and returned to Carbondale and took chargo of his brother's, O. H Jadwln, drug store. On May 8, 18C2, he and O. H. bought tho drug business of Pur don Sc Seely, nt Honesdalo, Pa., and commenced business under tho firm name of Jadwin & Bro. This store was under tho soje supervision of C. C. Jadwin, and continued as a partnership business until Novem ber, 1863, when C. C. Jadwin pur chased his brother's interest and be came solo proprietor. In 1869 Mr. Jadwln and S. A. Terrel built the block, on the corner of Eighth and Main streets, known as tho Masonic Hall building. In politics Mr. Jadwln is a consist ent Republican, and since 1865 he has been very active and influential In tho management of the affairs of tho party in Wayne county, having acted for several years as chairman of tho Republican County' Commit tee, and having been delegate to the county conventions, and also Repre sentative or Senatorial delegate to state conventions. Since IS72 ho has been a member of the local Board of Education nearly tho whole time, and for sev eral years was President of that body. In 1880 ho was olected a dol- jLpgate to the National convention of tne,uepu oncan par.iy at vnicago ana the 'same 'fall, was elected to repre sent tho district composed of Brad ford, Susquehanna, Wayno and Wyo ming counties In tho rorty-seventh Congress. In Wayne county he ran eight hundred and twenty-eight votes ahead of Garfield for Presi dent, receiving eighteen thousand two hundred and twenty-three votes in the district against thirteen thous and six hundred and two for Robert A. Packer, Democrat; nine hundred and slxty-slx for J. Burrows, Green back candidate, and two hundred and sixteen for L. Smith, Prohibi tionist. iHo made a consistent and hon orable record In Congress, familiar Izlng himself promptly and thor oughly with tho processes of legis lation, zealously guarding the inter csts of tho canstltution, 'writing and replying to about seven thousand letters during his term. He was a member of tho' commit tee on tho revision of tho laws tvnd on war claims. In 1882. bv -virtue of the tradition ary custom of his, party, a renomina- tlon to Congress was ouo to .Mr, Jadwln, bUt through tho machlna' tions and devices of ambitious mem bers of the party, -who lulled his suspicions by assurances of fidelity and tho certainty or his renomina- tion, ho was defeated and Colonol Edward Overton, of (Bradford coun tv. was nominated. Mr. Jadwin's Wayne county friends bolted this nomination and reconvened their county convention, but put him In nomination as an independent can didate. Tho result was that 'Mr. Jadwln received 9101 votes, Colonel Over ton 5075, and George A. Post, of Susquehanna county, tho !Domo- cratlc candidate, 11,555 votes and was olected. Jadwin received more votes than Overton In Bradford county (his homo county) nnd four times, as 'many as he did In Wyo ming county. Overton only had ono hundred and twenty votes In Wayno county where Jadwln ran ono thous and one hundred and two ahead of his ticket. This was considered by all his friends a sufficient vindica tion of his reeord and a woll de served rebuke to tho unfair methods by which ho had been deprived of tho nomination. in 1867 Mr. Jadwin originated the scheme and raised tho subscription for the publication of tho' Honesdale Citizen and was chosen as ono of tiio live managers of tho paper, and remained in chargo until it was passod over to Wilson & IPonnlman, Xovudn Solid For Taft.
