Mrs. Co: rs Took Laudanum, as the Breakfast Did Not Please. At 9 o’clock this morning there was an atsempt at suicide in Georgetown. The would-be destroyer of a human existence was Mrs. Margaret Conners, wife of Tim- othy Conners. Laudanum was the agent used, Mrs. Conners taking half of a 10-cent bottle of the poison, which she bought ex- Pressly for the purpose. As soon as the ef- fects began to be felt Mrs. Conners re- gretted her act, and hastily made noise enough to attract the attention of Miss Curry, a neighbor. When she arrived the taker of the poison was leaning against a table in a half-conscious condition. Dr. Birdsall was hastily summoned, and the stomach pump was used to advantage. It was drawn out that a quarrel between hus- band and wife had prompted the act. Mrs. Conners had insisted upon providing bacon and eggs at each of the meals. For his breakfast this morning Mr. Conners wanted boiled food, and on not getting it a domes- tic squall was raised. An hour after her husband left for his work the poison was taken. Mrs. Con- ners, at 1 o'clock, was getting along well. —_— Treasury Resignations Accepted. The resignations of A. L. Drummond, as chief of the treasury secret service, and of D. W.

Daish has called the atten- tion of the Commissioners to the present method of awarding contracts for forage. Under the present system, he says, con- tracts are awarded on items and he is of the opinion that if the contract for that class should be awarded in the aggregate the bids would be much lower. His reason for this is that one bids high on each item, for if awarded only a single item the quantity to be delivered in each order would be very sirall and a large number of deliveries result, each delivery requir- ing proportionately more time and ex- penee than if the entire quantity of forage for one place could be delivered at one time and by one firm. He says he believes that the plan of awarding in the aggregate | is followed in all departments where the ee ee ieee ot ome Pinte one, srr: The Commissioners today removed Will- fam M.
