C., January 18, “Mamma look out the window” is replying to a baby voice, Mrs. Archie Wiley, a divorce plaintiff, living with relatives in this city, found her first opportunity to commit suicide after being closely watched all day. As she looked out upon her three small children at play in the rear yard about 5 o’clock this afternoon, Mrs. Wiley shot herself in the head. Her father James S. Sharpe, committed suicide by shooting himself a year ago in this city. Since this occurrence Mrs. Wiley has been unhappy and recently she filed a suit for divorce in Cleveland, Ohio. Her husband, Archie Wiley, a business man of Cleveland, formerly lived in this city. A close friend of Mrs. Wiley had kept vigil all day over the woman, fearing she would attempt to end her life. This morning she hinted that she would be killing herself, and every precaution was taken to foil any effort in that direction. It was thought everything which she might use to end her life had been put out of her reach. She had concealed a pistol in the house, however, and when she was called to the window by her child, she secured and used it with fatal result. Since her return to Washington from Cleveland with her three children, Mrs. Wiley has been melancholy and --- the last two weeks her friends have found it difficult to give her any cheer. The divorce petition, in which she charges her husband with various shortcomings, is pending for the Cleveland Courts. Her husband has been notified and her body will be held pending his arrival. Mrs. Wiley was about 32 years old. Her children were all under 13 years of age. -----Ex Peter Barlow, Dr. Martin J. Potter, Doc Welch, Prof. William Hornaday. Chas. H. Fletcher Column 4 & 5 Column 4 Washington D. C. Jan 18- The latest bit of gossip about Miss Roosevelt’s wedding deals with nothing more nor less than the bridal gown itself , and it is stated that, like Mrs. Roosevelt’s inaugural ball gown., it has been woven especially for the president’s daughter. Twenty six yards long is the pattern designed for the gown, and now that it has left the loom, the d esign is destroyed, as that the material cannot be duplicated. The great quantity of Satan to be used ----- the great length of train it will have, and it is stated that in design it will be a P--- gown. Column 5 Prof. Chamberlain Harrisburg, Penn., January 23 – Two passenger trains of the Northern Central Railway today were saved from being wrecked by Mary McCall, age 16, the daughter of a trackwalker living at Clark’s Ferry. The girl saw a huge bowlder roll from the mountain side onto the tracks near her home. Taking a lantern she ran down the track and stopped the Erie Express within a few yards of the obstruction. She then hurried in the other direction. And stopped the Erie fast freight. The tracks were later cleared by a wrecking crew. – EX TO THE PUBLIC All parties having business with me will find me at noon of each weekday at B. F.
