Prattler tntls II is Earihly Existence by Ktranfcnlalion Found Bead In Ml II atom Tins Morning; at 8:30 lat It Is lteiIence on Korih Tryon Mrcel 111 HealiU Thought be the Canse Left JKo Messaee. The city was shocked this morn mg when it was learned that Mr. W N Frather the well Jinown buker aaifc3fifecti0ufr Lai sncided at his . home on North Tryon street. The first intimation of the Bad affair oc cnrred at Mr. Prathers homo when his servant was sent to his room to arouse him. This occurred at 8:30 this morning. After waiting for him for half an hour to appear, Prof Cran'z who has rooms at his residence, attended ;he stairs leading te the room Mr. Prather occupied to ascertain why h" did not come down He tried the door and found it locked and at this f ailure his suspicions were aroused. The door leading to his from the room of his wife was also fried and was found locked. Pro!?X?rantz then placed a chair at Mr." Prathera door and loeked ' through the tiansoni and the sad truth was at once revealed to ' him. Mr. Prather had hanged himaeif. Shortly after this a News reporter was informed of the fact and he went to the home at ot'Ce. Hp was ad mitted to the rooui where the self destruction took pbce. The bod? when the reporter saw it, was lying on the bed but wii'iu discovered by Mr. Cranlz 3 in a kneeiing posi tion on the left side of the bed. A hemp twine such as is commonly need in commercial packing was securely fastened arcund the bed post and in the siaie manner around the enicidea neck. He was perfectly rigid when discovered and the pby- siciana who were caileu to invesn gritej8ty that ho bad been dea 1 f o; lZfionrs at least. Dr. Geo. Gr&haia who was the firat physician at the scene was seen by the News and he stated tht Mr. Prai-her died by bio own hands and had been deud for 12 hour. He snid Mr. Prathar canie home last nigh!, ibuut 7 o'clock anl almost immediately went to his room. He did cot remove his clothes and left a candle burning and in this pale and flickering light his life went out long before the taper expired. His seek was not broken but the end came by stm gulation. Dr. Graham ' thinks that the aaicide was nnder the influence of some strong opiate when the deed of self destruction was com mitted. Dr. H M Wilder, the county physician was summoned and he made a like statement Why Mr. Prather ended his life i& due from the fact that five years Ujjo ha i.u & severe case of the grip and since then his mind has been unbalanced.. ai,d also being a sufferer of dyspepsia. i These coupled with a business that has been decreasing, caused Worry antil .the end last night. J Mr. Prather was a man who was au'en-. tknsiast, that is, he never went in a matter but what he wanted success at the other end. His place o' busi ness on east Trade street has ever been known as the beat in the city and for years conducted a prosper ous business, but trade had declined on account of his health. This is the general theory and it is thought correct. Mr. Prather wae 3 ji-ars age and leaves a wife aod one ecu, Mr. William Pather, who has bien practicing dentistry in New Yoik for several years. After the shock cf the suicide had somewhat subsided, and investiga tion was niae to see if a note o: communication had been kf', but there was none. Mr. Prather was a shriner, a member of the KuighU Templar and a K. of P. No demon stration will be observed by these orders, Mrs. Prather requested a simple and plum funeral.

For some time past these .yicions birds have been catching her chickens and in .turn she invented a scheme that has caught several, one measur ing fif tytwo inches from tip to tip, which was an unusually large bird ef this specie.

Dee. 13 President Cleveland and hid party be suc ceeded today in thoroughly loaing themselves to the ouislde world, for no one knows where he is at present. The Violet was to haye left Hattera today, ut whether she did so or not, is enkuowe, for a gale has been ragiiig over the North Carolina sounds, and the wires between Kitty Hawk and Hatters are down. At Kitty Hawk, the wind blew at a rate of 08 miles an hour and was prob-j ably mucn neavter f t natters. JNo tessels have arrived from North Carolina waters and it is the opinion of sailing rasters that the Violet could not have made the run up Pamlico Sound nnder the heavy winds prevaling. The water in t he Albemarle and Chesapeake canal through which the Violet must pass on her way to Norfolk, now meas ures only five and a half feet, the iowest evei known in the connecting link between Virginia and North Carolina. It is probable that the presidental par'y will have to go to Elizabeth City, N. C, and come to Norfolk by rail. The storm today around llatttrs is the worst so far this season. Al't 'r a Woman.
