Commits
Vas Formerly a Well Known Young
Clerk in This Place.

IN CHELTHAM, ENGLAND.
  /
Startling and sad was the news
that reached this place early in the
week announcing that Stanley A.
Watson had committed suicide at
Arnold, Pa., by shooting himself in
the right temple with a 38-calibre
revolver. Death was instantaneous.
Stanley had been employed by
several business men during his
stay in Sewickley, and his open,
frank disposition won for him many
friends, and he was well thought of.
The last position he held was at
Knapp's pharmacy, where he had
been for some time. Quite recently
he became involved in some trouble
about the store and his services
were dispensed with. This made
him morose and melancholy, and
while he left no note or letter explaining his reasons for taking his
life, it is probable that this was the
prime reason.
Stanley was twenty-three years
old and leaves an aged mother and
se feral sistersand brothersinGhelt-
ham, England.
When Stanley left this, place he
went to Arnold, Pa„ where Mr. Hud
S. Gampbell, of the Sewickley Art
Store, who is connected with the
American Window Glass Gompany,
secured him a position. He had
been working for the company since
January 12.
Stanley slept xa little later than
usual Monday morning and while
he was eating his breakfast the
Whistle blew and he remarked  to
STANLEY A. WATSON,
Who committed suicide at Arnold, Pa., last Monday morning.
the lady with whom he was boarding that he would have to quit eating and go to work. He put on
his hat and said good-bye as usual
and started out. A few minutes
later they heard a shot fired, but as
shooting along the river is of frequent occurrence, they paid no attention to it.
About nine o'clock a dairyman
driving along the road saw a man
lying under a tree with a revolver
at his side.
Upon investigation it was found
to be Stanley A. Watson. The remains were taken to the police
station and the coroner notified.
Mr. Watson's effects showed
that his father is dead and his mother and several sisters and brothers
reside in Gheltham, England.
The coroner deputized Mr. Hud
S. Gampbell, Mr. Joseph Eady and
Mr. JosephWormersley to look after
the unfortunate young man's effects and to arrange the funeral.
Stanley was buried in the Union
cemetary at Arnold, Pa. The
services were held at the rooms of
J. W. Patterson, the Rev. H. S.
Piper, of the Arnold M. E. church
officiating. Quite a number of his
his young friends were in attendance at this sad service.
Confined to the House.
Mr. Anthony Sonnefeld, the messenger of the First National Bank,
has been confined to his home for
some time with a very sore foot.
He has had an operation performed
and it will be some days before he
will be able to resume his duties.
Primary Election.
No Opposition in The Second Ward.
ALL DISPUTES WILL BE SETTLED.
At the meeting of the borough
executive committee held lastTues-
day evening the ticket for to-day's
election was made up. In the
second ward Mr. James G. Ghaplin
and Mr. T. H. Grimes failed to
qualify and that left the ticket without opposition. There were some
minor changes made regarding
the executive committee, several
men who were named failing to
qualify. One was refused recognition as he violated the rules and
did not present himself until after
8 o'clock and the board could not
*
accept his pledge.
In the first ward there were several changes made on the committee and through the retirement of
Mr. Barkwill, Mr. Frank R, Stoner
qualified and went on the ticket in
opposition to Mr. Walter Patton
for council. Messrs. Ghantler and
Milligan 'both qualified for school
director and for these two offices
there is strenuous opposition.
The questions of supremacy will
all be settled in a few hours.
, Rembered the Firemen.
Mr. James E. Brown,.of Beaver
street, whose stable was recently
destroyed by fire, has rewarded the
members of the Gochran Hose
Gompany in a very substantial manner. The letter accompanying his
gift brought to light the fact that
there are not a few well-thinking
and influential men in the Valley
who have a friendly feeling for the
firemen who are ready at all times
to do their best. This kind remembrance of Mr. Brown's was much
appreciated and the boys herewith
express their thanks.
Edgeworth Primaries.
On Monday evening, January SO,
the Union Republicans will hold a
suggestion and primary meeting in
Hartling's shop, to provide candidates for the variousborough offices.
