Epecial Dispatch to The Bee. New Yorx, May 7—1 a. m.—A singular case of attempt at suicide by a wealthy German farmer named Joachim Hallier, aged 54, of Nebras- ks City, occurred yesterday morning at the Western Railroad Hotel, in this city. His name and some other par- ticulars in reference to him were gleaned from his declarations of in- tentions of citizenship, his passage ticket by the Hamburg steamer “Suevia” which sailed yesterday acd other papers, which with his money fifty-three dollars and ten cents, are in the hands of the hotel landlord, Patrick Kernman. Hallier came in by the Erie road Wednesday merning and took a room, retiring to rest_that | evening about nine o'clock. When gong ravg for breakfast in the ‘morning the clerk noticed that he did not appear and he went up to his room. He found the door open and the ocoupant seated, holding his bleed- ing band over a washbowl. The wrist bled profusely and the man would have died in a short time had not a clerk of the Western Union tele- graph company who lodges there, come and bound & towel around hisarm. A doctor was summoned, the wound dreesed and Hallier then taken to the Chambers strest hospital. The soverest wound of the five inflicted by Hallier was on the left wrist, the principal | artery of the forearm belng severed; breast. Tho cause of this strango conduct appears to temporary insanity. Hallise hass wifs'and fivo chilldran in Nebraska City and was going to Europe to bring on his sister.

'RESOLUTIONS. Special Dispateh toThe Ban. St. Louss, May 7—1 s m.—In the suti-third term convention a lengthyplatform was adopted opposing the third-term principle, with a pre. amble setting forth the beliof that the convention represented a majority of | the republican voters of the United | States and for this reascn assembled to express their convictions. They | reairm their devotion to the republi- cen party, and in view of the present exigancies e iy reaffiem the ro- cent declarations of state republican conventions which opposed the third term. The momination of a third- torm candidate would put the republi- can party on the defensive, and there- fora should be discouraged. It would revive the memory of public sentiment and official corruption which brought | the party to the verge of ruin, and would again alienate a large snd pow- erful body of voters without whose aid success is neither possible nor to be desired, whilo in the character and surroundings af the third-term can te no guarantee is found against their recurrence, but rathera renewed menace in the history of the men who are loudest in his support. As repub- licans they cannot be hero-worshipers. They believe that the questions now agitating the public mind. conneoted. he currency, the tariff, the civil service, the railroads and other means of inter-communication require the talents of a statesman. It waa reaclved that a national com- mittee of one hundred be appointed and instructed in the event of the nomination of Grant to meet at New York at the call of the chairman and there act in such a manner as they shalldeem best, the committee to be selected by a_committee of thirteen.
