to Tnu Hin. : ] A report reached here this
nvcnlng of the attempted suicide of of ono 13
.1. Lollcr , a prominent citizen and postmastei
nt Hllss , in the southern part of tills county.
It occurred yesterday evening about 5 o'clock
Ho was in his store1 nionc , mid others In the
liousu adjoining , heard a shot , and going into
the store found him lying on the lloor. Ho
had shot himself with a lt calibre revolver ,
the ball entering his body just below the
right nipple , utul glancing from a rib , passed
around to the back. Our informant saw him
at it o'clock ' this morning and ho was stil
nllve , nnd t > omo hopes of his recovery wore
o itortaincd. Physicians wore summoned
from Kw ing. Had the ball passed alrectli
through his body it would huvo struck , tin
heart and caused instant death. Family
trouble is thought to bo the cause of the rash
act , as his wife had sued for a divorce. Mr.

as a committee of one to KO to Denver and
report nu the ad via ib illty of admitting that

Tlio iinestion of limiting the salary list pro

It was finally decided to limit the salary list
to ? U.v ) per month for twelve players. By

Nr.w Yonic , Dec. 8. The lrnngc marriage-
of the liov. Harry Atild , formerly rector of
the Episcopal church of St. Mary , on Alex-
muter nvenuo , Morrisanla , to Mrs. Kmnm
Helen Christie , November 'JS , continues to 1)0
the lending topio of conversation In Morris-
nnia society. The husband nnd wife , who
separated as soon as the marriage ceremony
was completed , and who have never lived to
gether since , reside within four doot s of each
other on Eust Oao Hundred and Fortieth
street. Mrs. Auld , who is young and pretty ,
refuses to talk upon the subject. Mr. Auld ,
who is m extremely delicate health , is equally
reticent. Ho has for some utonths back been
affected by mi ucuto nervous dlso.iso some
what similar to "St. Vitus danro. " The Hoi-
Mr. Hooper , of St. I'mtl'n Kcl'ormod church ,
Morrlsauln , said Unit Mr. Au'd ' had the sym
puth.v of all good men.
.Imlgo Kogers said : "Mrs. Christie cat note
to mo throe months ago to know if she could
bring an action against Mr. Auld for divorce ,
SliOHhowod mo a loiter from , Mr. Auld
to her pleading with her to take ) yty ou him
nnd not to ruin him in the community. It
was one of the most touching letters that a
mnn oouhi possibly write to ii woman. Tills
man's very soul seemed to bo laid bare nnd
its contents touched mo. Then 1 had a con
versation with Mrs. Christie. 'I ' cannot see
that this man has uono you any injury , ' I
said. 'What is your motive ? ' She replied
with n sardonic smile 1 never shall forget
and with set lips : 'I want to punish him. '
Then she admitted that they hud never boon
to each other as man mid wife ; that they had
lived apart. Her chiuf reason seemed to bo
nothing moro or loss than revenge. I de
clined to have anything to do with the case.
1 might add that Mrs. Christie told mo ulio
had seen Bishop I'ottor , who had ordered
Auld to marry her , "
The vestrymen of St. Mary's church con
template holding a mooting for the purpose
of Inviting Mr. Auld to again accept the rec
torship of the parish ns a mark of their con-
denco in his Integrity. Hoth parties have
declared that no improper act was com
mittod. Hishop I'ottcr was appealed to long
before tlio wedding and said Mr. Auld
should nmrr.v Mrs. Christie. Since the wort-
dim ? Mr. Auld has received n letter from the
bishop commending him for doing o. Frank
Hagloy , ono of the minister's friends , said
to-day that if Mrs. Auld continues to proas
matters there may bo developments that
will bo surprising.
A now story about the wedding was told
by Henry G , Cooper. If it bo true , the rev
erend bridegroom , who told his biido m ono
brent Ii she should not darken his door nnd
in the next promised to love and protect her ,
ivill not be able to .sustain himself In public
estimation lonir. So far he has had the best
of it in the estimation of the public. Most
people have thought ho was the victim of a
designing widow. 13ut Cooper says Anld
paid attention 10 the widow for two years.
The 4th of March , IVST , an ring thr > Lenten sea
son , ho took her to the Kcv. Thompson to get
married. That gentleman would not per
form the ceremony became it was in the
l.entcn season , and Anld , with his own hand ,
wrote n formal contract of betrothal , which
amounted in law to a miirriago , and both
signed it in the presence of witnesses. Ac
cording to Mr. Cooper they actually lix'cd ns
man nnd wife , and when six months ago
Mrs. Anld was sick , her Illness was duo to
the premature birth of their child. It was
during this sickness that.Auld's mind begun
to change. Mrs. Auld , to protect her honor ,
insisted on a formal marriage , and the cere
mony was llnally performed under the ex
press command of lilshop Potter.
