Feb. 2 —The icidal mania, which bas caused a number of attemps at self destruc- tion in this city for the past several weeks, promised to-day to resalt in the loss of the lives of Walter Tay- lor, a clerk in the Treasury depart- ment, and his pretty 20-yesr old daughter, Lucy. Miss Taylor has been in ill health for some time past, and lastnight her illness assumed a suicidal form. She was with dfficulty persuaded to retireto her room, and about 1 o'clock in the morning, after a vio- lent etruggle with her {parents, whe tried to hold her, plunged through the window of ber home and fell in- toasnowbank ia the front yard. She thes ran, terribly cut and bruis- ed, through the streets, and after half 6n hour’s search was found ina snowbank, almost nude, by police man. She was taken home, and it) was then found that during her ab- sence her father had hanged himself by a rope attached to the boiler ofa stove. He was cut down andre- moved to the hospital unconscious. At noon the pbysicans reported that both Mr. ani Miss Taylor were improving, and that there was no longer any doubt of their recovery. ; i i Fatality of Croup.

Judge Gantt was elected presiding judge of division No. 2 upon the organization of that divi- sion in January, 1891, and has since continually presided over it. He makes a fine presiding officer, ia uni formly courteous to his brethren and the bar, and hasa splendid re- cord as a laborious judge, as his opinions attest. He ranks among the ablest members of the court. He has been intrusted with the duty of writing the views of the court in many importantcases. Recently his Opinion in Mathews vs. the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway com- pany in which be sustained the con- stitutionality of the Missouri stat ute making railroads liable for fires they set out without regard to neg ligence, was approved and affirmed by the Supreme court of the United States in the most complimentary terms, that court adopted his lan guage to a large degree. His dissent- ing opinion in the disbarment pro ceedings against Mullins elicited the highest commendation both from the bar and from the legal period icals His professional brethren and friends throughout the State will be glad to know of his advancement to the highest judical position in the State, and predict that he will bear its henors modestly and fulfillits duties with credit to the State.

I promised that I would briog her back.” “Bring who back?” What are you talking about?” asked the clerk, who had come to the cosclusion that the old man was out of his mind. “No, I am not crazy,” continued the old fellow, as if answering the clerk's thought, “but it isa wonder that lam not. You see I am only a poor old man with agreat sorrow. I want to get to the Cherokee strip and bury my wife's body in a Chris- tian graveyard. Of course, my trou- bles ere nothing to you,and I skould not bave spoken as I did.” “Go on, tel] ua the story,” said the clerk.

We saw the fire coming, a wall of flame rushing from the eouth under a fierce wind. It hissed and crackled and roared. Rabbits ran by in terrov, fleeing from the flames which bad whipped them from their nests. “I looked fcr a match with which to make counter fire, but could find none. The fire kept coming closer and closer. Not far away there were some trees and apparently a small creck. Thinking that there would be water there, and that my wife would be safe from the fire when it swept in and over us, I told her to run for the creek, while I came on with the horses. She set out When I had the horses ready the flames bad run in between me and the trees. I look- ed about me and saw a man standing at the side of his horse in a circle of fire. He called to ms to come to him. I let the horses go and went. I leaped over the flames from his counter fire without damage. Then the wall cf flame broke and blistered and euffocated us Then it passed and J went to look for my wife. I found only a charred body. There was no water in tha little gully. It bad been long dry and the grass had apparently grown taller and thicker there than anywhereelae The man who hid built the counter fire came up and with his spade dug a shallow grave. I baried her there. I did not stay. I promised myself that I would return and bring her back to my kome in Chicago I have never had the money. In despair of mak ing it here I have started for the Strip to sse if I could make it there. Any way, I will be near her there. When he had concluded tears stood in his eyes. The clerks found that a speck of dirt had lodged in their eyes and that a handkerchief Was necessary to remove it. It was not long befcre the hat was passed and enough raised to send the old fellow on his road to Arkansas City. | Everybody Says So. | | | | A BLOODY ENGAGEMENT.
