his beautiful wife of eight months jilted him and eloped to New Orleans with a Edward Egbert, 20 years old, committed suicide by taking opium, in his room, at the Prospect House, 827 Race street. He was discovered in an unconscious condition by the proprietor, George Misch, and (sent where to he the died Hahnemann Hospital, an hour later. Although so young, Egbert had seen more of the world than most persons double his age. Possessing a handsome face and sturdy figure, the boy was, from the time he reached the age of 15 years, a favorite with all who knew him. Up until about nine months ago he resided with his father, Frank H.
Egbert, Hudson Heights, N. in a handsome home. is said mat that the elder Egbert was a state senator at one time, and is one of the most highly respected citizens of that section of the state. Young Egbert, from his boyhood, was interested in sports, theatricals and horse races, and when, two years ago, his friends remonstrated with him about playing the races and wasting his time, he became angry and left home. He wandered to New York, introduced himself to the Frohmans, and applied for a position.
After being in their service for short time he was promoted from a minor position to a that of treasurer of one of New York's largest playhouses, and was popular with everyone connected with the profession. At this time he resided at the Herald Square Hotel, and one met Dr. Caball Sipple, of 1437 Chestnut street, this city. The two became friends and spent their spare time together. Since Dr.
Sipple returned home he has been visited many times by Egbert. Last April, while a guest of the Doctor, Egbert was introduced to a beautiful woman, Miss Ida McMichael, of Milford, who made her home in Philadelphia while pursuing the study of art. He became enraptured with her, although five years his senior, and told her of his love. He would hear of nothing but immediate marriage, and the handsome pair went to New York we where the ceremony was performed. Finding his duties at the theater irksome, Egbert resigned his position and, with his wife, traveled over country, making his living by gambling.
A month ago they reached Baltimore, where they canie contact with a bookmaker named Baldwin. Mrs. Egbert became friendly with Baldwin, and they were seen together frequently. But the boy was unsuspecting until a week later, when his wife and the man disappeared from the city. A search for the pair proved of no avail until a few days later, when they reached New Orleans.
Heartbroken and almost penniless, for he had spent his earnings to buying diamonds for his bride, Egbert wandered from city to city hunting work. He could not get any permanent position driven almost frantic, arrived in Philadelphia last Thursday evening. He hunted up his friend the Doctor, and with tears streaming down his cheeks told of his misfortune. Money was given him, and he secured a room on Race street. Failing to get work and becoming morose, on Sunday evening Egbert attempted suicide by taking laudanum.
This, however, proved successful, as an entry in a diary kept by him shows. Before retiring on Sunday he left word that ho wishe dto be called on Monday at 9 o'clock. An employe of house knocked on the door and aroused Egbert. He replied in a thick and almost unintelligible voice that he wanted one more hour's rest, and to call again at 10 o'clock. At the hour stated Misch entered the room and discovered the man, attired in pajamas, on the bed in a serious condition.
A patrol was summoned and he was rushed to the hospital. "IT'S EFFRONTERY NOT TO TELL ME," SAYS MURPHY. New York, Doc. F.

Jimmy Britt does not think it will be a parlor entertainment he is to attend next Tuesday, night in Mechanics' Pavilion "Battling" Nelson is evident from the work he is doing in training.
There is an earnestness in his boxing with Frank Rafael and in his rough work with Tiv Kreling that shows what he when he meets the Dane. There a moment deexpects, voted to fancy boxing; "it is all slug and wrestle, with a chance always of one of those fierce blows reaching a vital spot. Britt went three rounds with Rafael before the usual large gallery, includa number of women, who watched the mimic warfare. From his tactics in training it is evident he expects to wear Nelson down, with his body blows, which have been so effective against other opponenets. This morning about the time the residents of Larkspur were rising, "Battling" Nelson, attired in an oilskin and covered with mud, returned to his camp at Smiling Mitzner's tavern, after having run over the hills for twelve miles.
After a brisk rubdown, "Batt" took his gun and went into the foothils in quest of quail. An hour's hard work was accomplished in the gymnasium during the afternoon, when the Dane went through his usual stunts. Nelson tipped the beam at pounds, NEW CYCLING ASSOCIATION. Atlanta, Dec.

Then when it supplies new flesh and takes one back to normal strength and weight, that's another gain and a big one. We'll send you a sample, free SCOTT BOWNE, 409 Pearl Street. New York. AT THE ACADEMY. The "Prince of Pilsen" a Great Suc.

Miss Ida Stanhope as Mrs.
Madison Croker of New York, with her sweet voice, was a great favorite, and Miss Marie Welsh as Nellie Waggoner, was her close second. Arthur Donaldson as Carl Otto, "The Princ of Pilsen," was also well received.
