BASS' ALE BARON IS DEAD.
to leave the bedside of her sick mo
ther, although she had been repeatedly
warned that she was 111 enough her
self to be under the doctor'B care, the
mind of Mrs. Mary E. Cliff, a young
married woman, suddenly gave way
under the double strain yesterday, and
she ended her life some time during
the early morning at the home of her
parents by swallowing a solution of
bichloride of mercury.
Mrs. Cliff, who is a dressmaker, not
yet 29 years of age, has a daughter
9 years old. About a month ago her
mother, who' lives at No. 5141 Glrard
avenue, was taken sick, and since that
time the daughter has been in con
stant attendance at her bedside. Worn
out from her nightly vigils, she arose
to perform some service for her mo
ther about half-past I yesterday morn
ing, and, after complaining of severe
pains in the head, suddenly left the
room.
The mother, who was in bed in the
second floor front room, was startled
a few moments later by the sound of
a falling body. Thinking her daugh
ter had fainted, she crept out of bed
and crawled along the floor to the
door Becoming suddenly weak, she
gave one call for help and sank unconscious.
An aunt, who was also sleeping on
the second floor. Immediately respond
ed, and on rushing into the bathroom
she found Mrs. Cliff lying on the floor,
groaning, but unconscious, with an
empty glass beside her. She rushed
out into the street and summoned Dr.
C. P. Ellis, of Fifty-second and Thomp
son streets. Dr. Ellis arrived within
five minutes after the woman had
drank the deadly dose, and, although
he did eveiything possible to save her,
she was beyond the reach ot antidotes
and died an hour later.
Prolonged ill-health i3 ascribed by
the police as the reason toi the young
woman's act, although her relatives
claim that she had been using the pois
on for medical purposes and drank the
deadly mixture by accident.

Lancaster, Pa., Feb. 3. With almost "f
$3,000 of hidden treasure turned up in
all conceivable hiding places in the
house yesterday's murder of Farmer
Alfred Haullman, InTIquea township,
by two masked robbers, who were un
able to lay hands on much If any of
their victim's hoard, led to the arrest
today of Amos Beach on suspicion. He
lives in the neighborhood and has been
frequently arrested for minor offenses
He came to this city, and his talk In
saloons, giving details of the murder,
revealed secrets that could only be
known by a person who was In the
house. He was locked up until his
statement that he was at home at the
time of the murder can be investigated.
Haullman, who lived In an unpre
tentious, one-story frame house, lost
several hundred dollars by the failure
of the City Trust Company, and vowed
he would never put any more money in
a bank. His aversion to tanks was
well known.
The men who murdered the old far
mer wore masks, and. the Inmates of
the house so badly scared that all the
description they can give is that one
was taller than the other. When these
masked men walked into the house and
pointed revolvers at the Inmates and
demanded money, Mrs. Haullman, from
her sick-bed, directed her neighbor,
Mrs. Aufc'eline Cramer, to get money In
a tin can for the men. She secured the
ran of money, but instead of giving it
to the men she ran from the bouse.
The robbers shot at her but missed
her. Enraged at losing this money,
which they evidently -thought was all
they discharged several shots In rapid
succession. Old man Haullman fell
dead with a bullet In his brain, and
Amos Kreider, a visitor, was. shot in
the neck and shoulder. He is not fa
tally injured. Mrs. Haullman has not
yet been informed of the death of her
husband, as she is so critically ill
that is is feared the shock would kill
her.
The son of the murdered man, who
lives on an adjoining farm took charge
of affairs at the house today He be
gan a systematic search for money,
and found it In many places. Between
the leaves of the family Bible were
found many bank notes. Money was
also found In cups in the cupboard, In
buckets, under the carpet and be
