Young Ed McDonnell, Formerly
of Anderson^ Cuts Ilia Throat
the Day After Hia Marriage.
Special to The State.
Anderson, Aug. 29.?News has
just reached here of the attempt
at suicide at his home in Hart
county, Ga., of Mr. James MeConnell,
sou of Mr. Ed C. McDonnell
of this city. It is thought
that the attempt will result fatally,
and the occurrence U made
more tragic by the fact that Mr.
McDonnell was married just the
day previous.
Mr. McDonnell, who is a young
man about 22 years old, has been
living in Hart County, Ga., for
several years. Recently he notified
relatives hero that ho was to
bo married last Sunday to a Miss
Teasley, who lives in the lower
part of that county, and his father
went there to bo present at the
wedding.
Mr. McDonnell returned to Anderson
on Monday after having
seen his son Married on Sunday,
having loft there Sunday afternoon.
Late Monday afternoon
ho received a telegram that the
j'uuug uiuu nun llllOllipiCQ SUlCKlO
that morniBg by cutting Ins throat;
with a razor and was not expected
to live. The elder Mr. McConnell
started for hi* son's home immediately
on receipt of the tele*
gram and hus not yet returned.
The young man lives in an isolated
section, far removed from telephone
connection, and nothing has
been heard as to his condition
since tho receipt of the telegiam
Monday night.
i'oung McConnell was reared
in the Starr section of this county
and is quite popular where he is
known. He is said to have been
a quiet, steady young man, and
no reason can lie jisnirrnpfl for ntu
n 1,10
rash act. Ho was one of the very
lust persons one would have expected
to take his life.

Polytechnic institute at Auburn

of the boa d fools that the right

names of a nuinlier of other gontlcmcD
were presented to the trustees
but -ifter careful deliberation
Dr. Mell was chosen. Dr. Mell

brick, mortar, beams and coffoe
fell with a'crash into the street

live-story brick buildings on Fill

Twenty-live thousand bags of coffee,
owned by J. H. Taylor and
Smith & Walbridge of Manhattan,

not u man was in the building at
the time. No one was on the
sidewalk, nor were any trolley
cars or elevated trains nearby.
The loss is estimated at about
*<>0,000.

?Advices of an official nature
which have reached here from
Caracas, Venezuela, are to the effect
that a severe light occurred

forces and the advance guard of

General Matos. The revolutionists
were commanded by General
Zoilo and Vidal. They mado an
attempt to occupy the town of
Taguay, but, aftor a fight of five
hours, they abandoned the field
to the government forces. Two
hundred of the revolutionists were
killed or wounded.
--General Floyd, after making
a canvass for congress, declares
that he made his campaign on
good, old Democratic lines, but
he is of the opinion that the people
are tired of old .nossback issues
and want something up to
date and in keeping with the
spirit of tho times. In this (Jen.
Floyd is eminently correct. We
are a progressive people and cannot
forever run along in the old
ruts. ?Columbia Kecord.
