Ash?, president of t ho u] 'fork Cotton Mills, and one of the hi oading citizens of Yorkvillc, com- ni nitted suicide Monday night of ^ his week, by throwing himself " nto a well. Ho was impelled to ?' he dreadful deed by mental abw rration that was earned by the nancial embarrassment of the . ig corporation over which he p ta8 for years past been the pre- hi iding genius, and to the success w -f which his heart and mind wer w evoted. tl Tthough the fact was not definite- P1 y known until a few day sago, Mr Ybho had been in increasing finan " ial trouble for two woeks fir more. * lis recent trip North, ostensibly o buy goods to stock the big dry ',oods store that was recently ^ . rected upon the company's n grounds, was really for the pur- w nose of making financial arrange- n nonts to meet certain notes that U vere about to fall due, and to pro- 1 * uro money with which to con *c inue the operation of the mill w mtil the yarn market regains in s< lormal conditions. h When Mr. Asho left Vorkville, NV F he idea of failure did not enter nto his remotest calculations. lie " olt sure that the noedful financial e rrangements would be made with 11 ase; but as one after another of " he yarn men upon whom he was 11 La r ounling, declined to give iho di i ired aid, his hopes sank lower | 'l nd lower until he was complete- ' iy unnerved. He returned to ^ i'orkvillo in a state of nervous ^ lid mental collapse that was ii - a m# leed pitiable. Until this time the directors cf , a 'he company wero not fully ac- _ jnainted with the situation. At i meeting called for the purpose -ast Saturday, Mr. Ashe explained the mill's embarrassment. The story, in brief, was to the effect h L . a a. I. I a a "A AA/l r A nai mere wan nooui ?<u,ooo m o ndebtednosfl in round numbers. * This included $40,000 worth of ? machinery but recently received ^ ?pd not yet in operation; but p which gave no cause for concern li )ecauno the credit of the nii'l 1 van perfectly good with toe pen >le from whom it was pur -hased. s n addition to this, there was i'iio t 4ome $23,000 for warehouse cotton t that had been spun and sold ; and v ^j^he proceeds diverted to perm - ' >ent improvements?the big at or > juilding, cottages, etc. This., 11 I ^ / N ?AS Li looey, under the terms of the outract with the warehouse peole, beloaged to them, and its iversion had been authorized, heu aeain, there was a note of 7,000 falling due during the recent month, and although the ooks of the company showed Bseta to the amount ot $250,000, here was no money on hand ith which to meet pressing * I eeds. All this Mr Ashe explained to je directors, and ho showed them ow the corporation waB in ur ent need of about $30,000,which as only to bo obtained, under le circumstances, through their ndorsement as individuals of a >int note. It was his plan to ike up this note at the earliest oshible moment with bonds of le mill, to be issued as soon as je necessary araugements could 0 perfected. Several of the di >ctors agreed to sign the pro osed note, putting their mill ock behind it as collateral se irity; but others refused, and le plan fell through. Almost azed before, Mr Ashe now gave p the struggle and took his bed 1 a state of nervous prostration. Daring Sunday and Monday, r. * she was first up and then own. Quite a number of symathizing friends, who realized is unfortunate condition, called pon him and tried to persuade im that the situation was not Barly so bad as he thought; but lev were unable to make any npression upon him. It deyel ped that he had not had an hour r natural sleep for nearly two eeks. Uoknot,n to his friends tid business colleagues, he had roodod and thought over the ending trouble until his mind ad become unbalanced, and he as impressed by nothing that as said to him. He insisted lai he had done all that was ossicle and told bis friends not] ) count upo? him any further ;i ut to go ahead with whatever ley thought best and it would ave his approval. The reporter called upon Mr. .she Monday night, and found im in bed. Jhe conversation as confined principally to the lenlal and physical condition of le sufferer. It appeared that le only two things that the un irtunate man realized positively ere the facts that he was in >rious financial trouble and that e was mentally unbalanced. lie as glad to have company, hiring a minute or two, he could ilk clearly and comprehensively nough. Then he would have ouble in completing his sen* mi cos. lie showed no rigns of isanity ; but only of aberration, it all that he attempted to say e was perfectly rational, and ex ?pt from his hulling speech ocusionally there whs no noticeable eculiarity in his condition. "I in wrong in the head," lie would ay, us he found himself unable ? complete a sentence. After n interval ho was ready to begin' lisuarkitbltt Curtti of Ktb?uuui> (I* in.

He said : "It is the best mill in the South, and there is less dead capital around it. On the fkst of October lasi, we were free from debt. Our plans formed then were fully warranted by existing conditions. We now owe about $70,000 altogether. We have at least $250,000 worth of property. We need only $30,000 ! to tide us over; but of that $7,000 must be paid within the next few days. The whole trouble with us ia that ma ora ii\r\ h?<? ? I -w ?? V ??

Mr. Ashe said nothing during the conversation that indicated the least suspicion of contemplated self destruction, and when the reporter left it was with the impression that after a good night's sleep, the unfortunate man would wake up refreshed ami with a much brighter view of the situation. Shortly before 12 o'clock, Mrs. Ashe missed her husband from his bed. She bad also lost much sleep, not having closed her eyes for two nights on account of the distressing condition of Mr. Ashe. Waking up from a fitful slumber, she found that Mr. Ashe had gone. Fearful that something dreadful had happened, she sent out and alarmed the neighbors, a number of whom promptly gathered at her home. A search was instituted at once. Mrs. Ashe explained her fear that there was no hope of finding Mr. Ashe ?i: il - ? J 1 _ #1. i_ * ? _l A i ? aiivw. ue nau leu nis cioines in the room. The searchers made a careful examination of the prem1808 and looked down in the well. They let down the bucket without finding anything. Then two or three of the aearchers went out to the York Cotton mills, with tiie expectation of finding I the missing man euJ^tr on the road or probably in the reservoir there. They alarmed Mr. P. M. Grimes, Mr. Ira Grimes and Mr. Tilghman, all of whom returned with the party to Mr. Asho's home. Mr. G.

This wa?, at about 2 o'clock in the morning,and the presumption was that the body had been in the water for at least two hours. The removal of the body, which had evidently gone in feet foremost, was ac complished with great difficulty, the deceased being a very heavy i man, woighing something like 285 pounds. Mr Ashe's body showed signs of a few insignificant scratches and bruises about the face and breast. There was no evidence of a struggle after he threw himself into the well. The water was some 12 or lo feet deep, and from tho fact that nothing was to be seen on the surface at tho first investigation, the presumption is that the body first sank to the bottom and then rose to the surface of the water, shortly after which it was discovered. It seems that the last visitors to Mr Ashe during the night before were P M Grimes, E B Beard and Mr VV R Carrol. This wag about 10 o'clock. They came to tell hira of the result of a conference during the afternoon, at which a plan to raise the necessary money had been agreed upon. All three of the gentleman were confident ! of success, and they so assured Mr Ashe. In leaving, Mr. Grimes told how it was his purpose to r ENTI EEKLY.

On ac count of the death of Mr. Ashe of course, tho proposed trip wa: abandoned. Mr. John R. Afdie was a nativ? of York county, having been borr near McOonnallsvUU in 1856 With but a limited literary edu cation, he completed a businesi course in a waitimore college and, in 1876, commenced worl for the firm of Clark Bros., ii Yorkville, for $3 a week. II< remained with Messrs. Olarl Bros, six years, the latter portior of time as a working partner and in 1882 went into busines for himself. He remained ii business in Yorkville until abou 1880, when he removed to Ker shaw, where he prospered unti about 1896, when he removed t Yorkville and started the move ment which resulted in the or ganization of the York Cotto Mills company. He subacribo $10,000 of the original capita stock of $60,000, and after ware as the capital stock of the mil was increased to $150,000, becam l.lie nwnur of 467 000 worth 11 continued the moving spirit o the enterprise from the begin ning up to the time of his deatt aDd during the last few year of his life has been virtually sol manager, consulting his director* as a body, only at rare intervals lie was a business man of un i usual boldness and of m.b u, de ambition, lie wua very sensi tive of criticism, and many c his closest friends are of tb opinion that it was t'n* raet tba i impelled him on to sell d strut tion?the loss of prestige ihn would result from having ail :>we himself to get into diflicultic that he could not overcome.
