The s.iicide- pact, the discovery of

sensational.
Mrs. White, who has an apartment

daughter would remain over night.
When, however, Mrs. White awoke in
the morning she found that her daugh
ter had fled from the house, and hur
ried Immediately to the daughter's
apartment in West Twelfth street. She
became alarmed when there was no
answer to her repeated knocks and
summoned two policemen, who forced
an entrance. The entrance door had
been barricaded with chairs and
tables and the doors of all the rooms
of-tbe large apartment also- were
locked and barricaded.
The police found Noble and his
wife lylnit; dead on the floor, their
heads almost Inside tbe oven of the
gas range. They were partly un
dressed and clasped In each other's
arms. A great volume of gas was es
caping from five burners of the range
and the oven Jets also were t li ned
on. The woman was clad in a silk
kimono and she lay w'th Noble's left
arm encircling her body, their faces
being close together. Every window
In the apartment was closed and

HUSBiSD DIES WITH WIFE.
Woman Falls Exhausted Seeking to
Climb to Safety Young Man Turns
Back to Give Aid and Act Costs Him
His Life Others Endangered.
Niagara Fal's, N. Y., Feb. 5. Tho
great ice bridge that has choked the
river churned between the cataract
and the upper steel arch bridge below
the falls for the last three weeks broke
from its moorings at noon and went
down the river, taking with it to their
death a man and a woman, said to be
Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge Stanton of To
ronto, and Burrell Heacock, seventeen
years old, of Cleveland. Four other
persons were on the ice at the time,
but managed to get ashore in safety.
Tho bridge was considered safe. For
weeks the great fields of ice had been
coming down the river, piling up
against the barrier until it was from
sixty to eighty feet thick, and under
the influence of zero weather the great
mass had become firmly anchored to
the si ore. The Jam was about 1,000
feet, in length, and in somo places
quarter of a mile in breadth.
Excursionists Come.
For two weeks it had offered safe
passage to the hardy, and an im
mense crowd of excursionists came
to view the winter wonder of the riv
er. Had the accident happened nn
hour later in the day hundreds would
have lost their lives, for the crowd
was moving into Prospect park in the
elevators that run down the cliff for
the purpose of venturing out upon the
ice.
Somewhere deep In the great whirl
pool sleeps tbe man, partV.lly Identi
fied as Mr. Stanton, who twice put
aside chances of rescue in order to
remain with his terror stricken wife,
and who, in the shadow of death, Just
at the break in the rapids spurned as
sistance for himself and attempted to
'jind about the woman's body a rope
dangling from the lower steel arch
bridge. The lad, Burre'l Heacock,
was cast in the some mold. Had he
not turned back on the Ice to give as
sistance to the man he, too, might
have made the shore.
Hill Gives Warning.
On the bridge at the time it tore
free from the shore, besides these
three, were Monroe Gilbert, Ignatius
Roth, William' Hill, William Lablond,
and an Italian. Hill's shack was near
est to the American shore. When he
heard the grinding and crashing of
the Ice. he ran at top speed toward
the Canadian shore, calling on the
others to follow him. Lablond gave
them warning that safety lay In thai
direction. Gilbert and the It.i'Ian fol
I lowed their lead, but the others be
calm" confused. By tbe time they bad
regained their composure, the bridge
was moving fast down tho river.
Tbe man and woman stirtcd first to
wards the American shore, but they
were stopped by a lane of open water.
Back they ran towards the Canadian
side, turned about and made for the
merlcnn s'de. When hardly more
than fifty yards from the rocky shore
tbe woman fell on her face, utterly
spent.
Woman Gives Up.
"I can't go on; I can't go on," she
cried. "Let's us die here."
All the time the great field of Ice,
driven onward by a southwest gale
and pressed by a Jam broken free
from Its anchorage near the base of
the horseshoe fall, went on breasting
the terrible outrush of the Niagara
Falls Power company's tunnel out
flow, the mightiest current In all the
river, without being broken.
As the woman fell the man strove
to get her to her feet again, and tried
to drag her along the Ice, calling tot
ass'stance to Roth and Heacock, who
were nearest. Heacock turned back
to the couple and helped support the
woman. The act cost him his life.
Roth struggled along over the hum
mocks of Ice, getting close to the open
stretch of water at the Canadian end
of the Jam.
Roth was afraid to trust hlmse'f In
the Icy wrtev? lablond Jumped out
to tho field of Ice with a rone and
half carried, half dragged the boy
ashore.
