'he urack is in good condition and horsemen Jubllunt over the coming event. el sy WYOMING WANTS STATEHOOD, Governor Warren Y H Proclamation for ding an Election, CHETENNE, Wyo., June 8,—[Special Tele- ram t) Tue Bee.|—At the last session of ngrozs a bill was unguimously reported to senate, by the senate committee on terri- tories, making provision for the admission ©f Wyoming as a state. This bill provided for the issuance of & proclamation on the first Monday in June for the election of dele- %0 @ constitutional convention. The ©lection of delegates takes place on the sec- oud Monday of July. The convention is to behald on the first Monday in September #ud the constitution submitted to the people for ratification or rejection the following No- vewmbor, Uunder the provisions of the bill, the num- of delegutes is limited to fifty-five, and © proclamation for an election is to be is- ued by the governor, after the appointment beep made by @ board consisting of the vertor, chief justice and secretary of the Y. Following the provisions of the bill, the Oficluls numed met this afierucon and di- vided the territory into ten delegate districts, to correspond with the soveral couuties as they now exist. The represehtation was then based upon the vote cast for delegate in congress, at the election last November. This was 18,010. Under the apportionment, this, Laramie county, gots 11 delegates; Al- bany, 8; Carbon, 8; Sweetwater, 5; Uintab, 6; Fremont, 8; Sheridan, 8; Johnson, 8; Crook. 4, and Converse, 4--55 in all. Any- ‘body qualified to vote at a goneral election in the territory is qualified to vote for constitu- tional delegates, and anyono eligible to a seat in the legisluture is eligible to election as a delogate. Amon;‘ other things, Governor Warren, in his prociamation, : “Recognizing tho superior and material advantages of a state government over our territorial system, and being desirous of clrliyln into effect the will of the people, I, Francis B. Warren, governor of the ’F('rnwr,v of Wyoming, do issue this, my proclauation to the people of the territory, recommending that they take such action on their part as may be "neces- sary to secure the admission of Wyoming into the union of states; and for this pur- pose, I direct that an election be held through- out the territory on the second Monday of July, 188, for the eloction of delegates to 'a constitutional ~ convention ' at Cheyenne, the capital of the territory, at 12 o'clock noon, of the first Monday of Sentem- ber, 1880, for the purpose of framing a con- stitution, for the State of Wyeming, and for the purpose of submitting such constitution to the ||euvlo thereof, for their ratification or rejection.” Tt e prevailing sentiment is that partisan- ship should be laid aside in this matter and the best reprosentutive men be elected as delegates rogardless of party. It is now {)rohuble that no party conventions will be held. The central committee of each party will meet in this county, which is entitled to cleven delogates. Each committee will select flve representative men of its party, and the joint committee will subsequently fix upon the eleventh man, ‘The commissioners of eight counties have already signified that their counties will bear the expenses incident to an election, which, under the proposed mothod, will be slight. The people now feel that they are started in the right direction v secure the boon of statehood, and will work unceas- ingly to accomplish that object. They con- fidently look to neighboring states for aid in this work. — Through Rates Very Shaky. Curcaco, June 8.—[Special Telegram ‘to ‘Cne Beg.]—The withdrawal of the Southern Pacific from the Transcontinental associa- tion has put all through rates in a very shaky condition. Said Agent Lee, of the Canadian Pacific, to-day: “Tho Transconti- nental association is bursted higher than a kite by the withdrawal of the Southern Pacific. Of course, they withdraw hecause we were getting 80 much traftic, but I don't see how it is going to help them any. They threaten all mauner of things in the way of reduced rates, but they forget that we will ment their rates, or those of anyone else. We haven't worked up our per cent of busi- ness for the purpose of giving it away. I think we are in the beginning of a very in- teresting time in Transcontinental matters. ‘We have no trafiic now, and will probably lie low until we learn wl the Southern Pa- cific will do.” Nelther through nor local east and west bound rates are porfectly firm. Tho West- ern Kreight association will consider the Burlington & Northern reduction to-morrow, but there seems no way out of that dificulty but to meet the Canadian Pacific rates already met by the Burlington & Northern. — - Town Site Swindle. Dexver, Colo, June 8.—|Special Tele gram to Tue Bes.|—The police are inter- ested in one Pierce, doing business in the Commercial building, St. Louis. He issued circulars stating that he haa platted in the town of Plainfleld, seventeen miles west from Denver, and would give away alternate lots to boom the rest. The circalars were confldential. The cost of making and re- cording deeds was given as $3.50. Would the recipient send this and grow rich? About one thousand people concluded to do 80. There is no such town as DPlainfield. Pierce has caught suckers in several states. ST A Despicable Deputy-Sheriff. Burraro, Wyo., Jnne 8.—-[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.]—News was received here, to-day, that Sam Williams, deputy- sheriff for Johnson county, in the Big Horn basin, has been compelled to leave the coun- try to escape lynching by the cowboys, who detected him in the act of committing a nameless crime. The cattle round-up was ap proaching, and Williams was_informed that the cowboys had sworn t hang him. He left in the night, and his whereabouts is un- known. He formerly worked as a wboy in Kansas, and was appointed deputy-sherift last January on good recommendations. RS ST Rain in South Dakota. Piereg, Dak., June 3.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee.]—A heavy rain visited this sec- tion of South: Dakota to-day, doing great good to the crops, ————— Trouble in the Third Ward. Councilman Ford was arrested late yester- day afterncon for assaulting & man named Solon, at the Third ward polls. Shortly after being released from custody, he became in- volved in a diffculty with another man, and attempted to strike him with & beer glass, and was again arrested. Solon was also arrested, charged with striking a man and with using obscene language. Solon claims that Ford was the cause of all the trouble. T Funeral of Thomas O'Brien. George O'Brien applied yosterday to be appointed administrator of the estate of Thomas H. O'Briep, whose remains were buried from Drexel & Maul's undertaking rooms yesterday. The application was granted. The deceased has mo relatives in Nebraska as far as could be learned last night, and his only property is an insurance policy, which still remains in the hands of Coroner Drexel. R WHICH WAS THE PRETTIER? Two Women Fight About the Charms of Their Chinese Husbands. It 18 commonly supposed that white girls marry Chinamen simply for the sake of procuring husbands. The fol- lowing interesting item from the New York World proves that they sometimes regard their Mongolian lords as very proper men: The white wives of two almond-eyed .Mongolians, liv- ing at 10 Pell street, “becom- ing éonlous of each other, invoked the aid of an ax yesterday to settle the points in controyersy, Jennie Brow is the reputed wife of Mock Lung, who keeps a laundry with a small opium oint attachment, In the same house ives Sarah, the warm-haired *‘wifoe” of Wun Moy Jung, who washes shirts on a big scale in his two Philadelphia laun- dries, which requires his absence from home most of the time. The constant bone of contention be- tween the women has been the *‘beauty” of their respective husbands. Last evening Sarah taunted Jennie with being **Irish’ and not good enough for the almond-eyed Mock Lung. There- upon Jennie went for Sarah’s auburn trosses, but before she had dragged her a couple of yards across the room Sarah seized an :fl{‘ looking hatchet and aimed it straight at Jennie’s head. Mock Lung was enjoying a ‘‘pipe” in his own room and rushed out just in time to see the uplifted hatchet. ‘He leaped toward the vixensand in attempting to ward off the blow intended for his wife his hand got the full force of the blow from the bhatchet. Sarah fled, but was %uh:kly captured and locked up in the dlizabeth street station. Mock Lung's thumb was severed from his hand. - Taking all things into consideration, the one animal of most importance to mankind is the draft horse.

[Continued from First Page.] uncared for in some houses out off by the water, and died from their injuries. Somo were alive on Sunday, and their shouts could be heard by people on shore. A man caught stealing a gold watch is now in a temporary jail. A shot was fired at him, but he was not wounded. The only thing that saved him from lynching was the smaliness of the crowd. The services in the chapel from which the bodies were buried, consisted merely of a prayer by one of the survivors. No minister was prosent. KEach cofin had a descriptive card on it, and on the graves similar cards were placed so that the podies can be re- moved later by friends. The Cambria hospital has now 300 patients, Dr. Buck, with an efcient corps of aids, is in charge. Two of the patients died yester- aay. The remamnder of the patients are doing well. The hospital in the llppel“wn of Johnstown is full to overflowing. any have been carried to the surrounding houses. Hospitals have been established at Cone- maugh and Mineral Point, but little could be learned of how many patients it contained and how they were faring. A MIRACLE, as it is called, that happened the Church_of the Immasulate Conception has ocaused a tremendous sensation. A large number of persons will testify as to the nature of the event, and the circumstances are really remarkable, May devotions were in progress when the water descended on Cambria City. The church was filled with pe ple at the time, but when the noise of tue tlood was heard the congregation hastened to get out of the way. They succeeded so far as escaping from the interior is concerned, and 1n a few moments the church was partly submerged, the water reaching fifteen feet up the sidesand awirling around the corners furiously. The building was badly wrecked, the benches were torn out, and in general the ontire structure, both inside and outside, was fairly dismantled. Yesterday morning, when an_entrance was forced, the ruin appeared to be complete. One object alone had escaped the water's wrath, The statue of the Blessed Virgin that had been decorated and adorned because of the many devotions was as unsullied as it was made. The flowers, the wreath, the lace veil were undisturbed and unsoiled. The marks on the wall showed that the surface of the water had risen to a height of fifieen feet, while the statue, which is only three feet high, had been saved from all contact with the liquid. Everyono that has scen the statue and its surroundings is firmly con- vinced the incident was a mirac lous one. Kven to the most skepti- cal the affair savors of the supernatural. There are about thirty Cathoilc priests and nuns here, who are devoting themseives 10 the care of the sick and injured. Bishop Phelun has organized the Catholic forces of this neighborhood and all are devoting themselves to the hard work assiduously. ‘What the hospitals would have done with- out the sisters is a dificult question. Among the priests here are Revs. Father Guiden, Gabel, Costrabe, Gallagher, Trouuwein, Rosensteel, Doren, Corcoran, Derlin, Boyle, Smith, O'Connell and Lambing. J. J.' Murphy, a bookseller of Pittsburg, haunted the morgue all day. His brother James and his entire family are lost, and Murphy is secking for their remains. Every fresh arrival of ghastly burdens set him to anxious inquiry, but as yet he has not dis- covered them. P. S, Frazier, a Pittsburg lawyer, was tramping among the ruins looking ke a miner, Frazier has a sister here whose family of four was almost drowned, but managed to escape after an exciting experience. Whan_the flood came down upon them they were driven from the first to the second story and soon after to the third. They were kept there six hours before they were helped through the roof, and from there made their escape to the hills over the house tops in the neighbor- hood. WHERE WOODVALE ONCE STOOD there is now a sea of mud, broken but rarely by o pile of wreckage. The Associated press correspondent waded through the mud and water up the valley to-aay over the site of the former village. As has been-often stated, nothing is standing. Tho .place is . swept bare of . all other buildings but the ruins of the Gaatier wire mill. The boilers of these great works were carried 100 yards from their foundation. Pieces of engines and other machinery were swept far away from where they onco stood. The wreck of a hose carriage is sticking up out of the mud. It belonged to the crack company of Johnstown. The engine house is swopt away and the cellar is filled with mud so that the site is oblitorated. A German watchman was on guard at the il when the wators came. He ran for the hitlside and succeeded in cscaping. He tells a graphic_story of the appearance of the water as it swept down the valiey. He de- clares the first wave was as high as the third story of the mill. The place is deserted. No effort is being made to clean off the streets. The mirc has formed a grave for manya poor victim, ARMS AND LEGS aro protruding from the mud and it makes the most sickening of pictures. A ROPE FERRY is now bemng operated in the lower part of wwn, Au effort is boing made to construct a bridge across the Conemaugh at a point where the old county bridge stood. A man named Meguire was mot on his way from South Fork to Johnstown. He said he was standing on the edge of the lake when the walls burst. The water was rising_all day and was on a level with the pile of dirt, which he said was above the walls of the dam. All of a sudden it burst with & report LIKE A CANNON, The water started down the mountain side, sweeping before it trees as if they were chips. Boulders were rolled down as if they were marbles. The roar was deafening. The lake was emptied in un hour and a half. All the water, he said, was pow out. The railroad is in a terrible condi- tion. At some points holes twenty and thirty feet ~decp were washed in the tracks. On the way down he stopped at Mineral Point, where sixtoen houses were washed away and several lives lost. At East Conemaugh thirty houses were carried way by the flood, The loss of life is large at this poiut. Three days have passed since the flood-gates were opened and the waters rushed down upon the mountain city. Order is slowly arising out of chaos. The great. cry is for men. Men who will work and not stand idly by and do nothing but gaze at the ruins, An order posted on a telegraph pole in Johnstown to-day by a citi- ep8’ committec says: “We ure now so organized that employ- ment can be found for every man who wants to work, and men offered work who refuso to take the same, and Wwho aro able to work, must leave Johnstown for the present. We can mot afford to feed men who will not work. All work will be paid for the same. All strangers and idlers who refuse to work will be ejected from Johnstown.” Officers were stationed at every avenue and railroad that enters the town. ~ All sus- piclous characters are stupped. But one question is asked. Itis: “WILL YOU WORK!" If an afirmative answer is given a man escorts him to the employment bureau where he is put to work; if not he is turned back. There is a lot of idle, vagabond negroes in Johnstown, who will not work, It is likely that the committee will escort them out of town. They have caused most of the trouble during the past terrible days. It is 8 faot, a disagroeable ll‘hou{xh one to tell, that not a few of the relief com- mittees who came to this city, came unly out of curiosity, and positively refuse to dnw work, but hang around the cars eating food. The leaders of the committee have to do all the work, and they deserve much credit. —— Trying to Clear the Roads. PrILADELPHIA, June 8.—The best informa- tion that can be obtained to-day at the Penn- sylvania office in this city, is that s route will be patohed up to Altoona withiu thirty- six hours, thus giving eight hundred or more east and west bound passengers, laid up at thas place, an oppor- umh{ w0 fl‘“ away. It is also stated here that only seven passengers of the ill- fated trains were lost. On the middle di- vision the main line road is clear from Al- toona to Petersburg. From Huntington to the Mayunk bridge there are several.bad breaks. Al Mayurds briage bas " beca swopt. ayun ) nwu w:'l'.Y‘ lw&.v‘, Mays bridee romaing of the Grihvifle bnv{g.

Itis np believed Dll!mlferu can be conveyed from 'Harrisburg to Pitts- burg over the main line inside of a week or ten days. As to the trhnsportation of freight and mails nothing ‘Hefihite can be learned. No direct |nlolll5mun of any sort has been received from Lookhdven nfiw‘ 9 o'clock Friday night. The dispatoh then received stated the lumber boom gnd broken and the town was flooded. The wildest kind of ru- mors are received in regard to the situation at that place, but Llllylflnk confirmation. It is belioved, however, the loss of property at that place will be enormous. Subsiding at Harrisburg. Harnissuna, Pa., June 8.—The great flood is over, the river having reached its maxi- mum height. The water isslowly subsiding, The entire eastern and southern portions of the city are still under water and the people have to reach their houses in boats. William Strange, of Paxton, stepped into his back yard last evening where thero was five feet of water and was swept away and drowned before his wife and family. A man named Holstein, with his wife and family, were being taken from their homo at Steelton to a place of safety in a boat, when a log struck the boat and threw them all into the water. All were saved but Mrs, Holstein and her baby. Jovernor Beaver has received a call for troops from Sherift McCandless, of Alle- gheny county, who telegraphs that the situ- ation 18 such that it is positively necessary to send at least four regiments of National guards to prevent pillage, robbery and blood- shed. Adjutant-General Hastings telographs he does not think the troops necessary. The iovernor, although perceiving no necessity or calling out troops, has ordered regi- ment to be ready at a moment's notice v march to the scene of the disaster. General Hastings also telegraphed to the manager of tho postal telegraph company, this city, as follows: ‘“‘Better inform Governor Beaver that this morning’s reports give the number lost at Jolinstown at botween®,000 and 15,000. The greatest of disorder prevails. The place is infested with thieves, who are robbng the dead and appropriating everything they can lay their hands on, The people are eating al- most everything in the shape of provisions sent here.” Bridge Giving Way. WASHINGTON, June 2.—Two spans of the loag bridge crossing tho Potomac river here, have been carried away by the flood. General Schofield and the secrotary of war called at tho white house this morning, and remained with the prosident for hours conferring in regard to the best means of raising the distress prevailing at Johnstown. The president is in_constant communication with the state officer in charge. A dispatch from Corning says, the loss in Steuben county alone will exceed $1,000,000. The Fall Brook Coal company looses’ nearly $1,000,000. Fifty miiles of track on Pine Creels division, between Ansonia and the Jersey shore was washed away, and it will be weeks before it can bo rebuiit. Thirteen bodies have been picked up be- tween Ansonia and Stokesdale Junction, and yet no regular search has been made. Pitt sburg Masons Working. Pirrsnure, June 3.—Fhe Masonic fratern 1ty met this mornidg and received reports from the committée sent to Johnstown. The chief point was the sinitary condition. A committee was appointed to ask the United States to take action at'once. The commit— tee telegraphed Prbsident Harrison asking him to send out a sanitary commission immo- diately, and warning him that unless prompt action was taken to remove the dead bodies and the animals from the stream in which the committeo saw fhom, the water would be polluted and carry plagye germs to the peo- ple. This would affegt the country from Pittsburg to New Orleans. Like mesaagos were sent to the Pennsylvania senators. Much Damage in Maryland. Bautivoxe, June 8.—Though there have been few lives lost in Maryland, reports of damage to country roads, culverts, bridges and houses dene by the flood continuo to reach nere. Frederick county will lose, in the destruction of bridges, $100,000, and be- tween Knoxville and Harper's Ferry, the loss will be §300,000. At Harper's Ferry the people are still encamped on the hills, It is thought that the canal has been irreparably rumed, and although tho bridge over the Potomac is still safe the railroad bridgo spanning the Shenandoah is destroyed. The Chemung Valley Devastated. Ermira, N. Y., June3,—The Northern Central railroad will not be open for a week. The damage to property in this city and vi- ity is estimated at half a million, TLo crops throughout the Chemung valley are almost totally destroy The Fall Brook railroad has lost two bridges and the track is badly washed out between Knoxville and Westtield. "Thirteen lives are said to have been lost at Corning. Chicago Will Contribute, Circaco, June 8.—Chicago's contributions to the Johnstown sufferers will be large, The board of trade, business houses and facto- ries are raising subsoriptions, Two memibers mmitteemen on the bourd of trade ,000 in two hours.

Loxpoy, June 3.--The papers discussing the terrible disaster in Pennsylvania say that the sympathy of the whole civilized world will be with the peoole of Pennsylvania in the most overwhelming misfortune that ever befell a people of the Iinglish race, $25,000 for the Sufferers. HAryrorp, Conn., June 3,—The house, to- day, concurred with the senate in appro- pristing §25,000 for the flood sufferers in Pennsylvania, A1d for the Sufferers.

Court adjourned until 8 o'clock next Ihursday afternoon, when the motion for a new trial will be heard and the famous Gandy sentenced. The case will, of course, o to the suprems court, as has been suggosted before. It is now fuily developed that an attempt will be made to prove that a juror had expressed an opinion. His name 18 Conklin, and he comes from Table Roclk. Some affidavits have already been socured, but it is said only one man of ‘any reputation for truth at all has signed them. The rest are by straw men. In reforence to the matter, Judge Broady said in court that he paid no attention to such things. Nebraska People Lost.

Norti Prarre, Neb., June 3.—|Special to Tue Bee.] —Senator Nosbitt has just re- turned from the east, wnere he has been, presumanly, repairing his fences—badly down, as it is understood, but not yet beyond repair, And thereby hangs a tale, which would be interesting reading with full par- ticulars. 1t is possible to give only a short aynopsis of the situation as regards the North Platte land ofiice, its applicants and their chances. Within sixty days after the elec- tion there sprang up about twenty applicants for the two positions, in this and adjoining counties. Things were lively for a time, and a little bitterness was engendered, but after the first flurry and scramble was over, the prominent men in the party by general assent, endorsed C. F. Idding for receiver, and J. I Nesbitt for register, and the other applicants gracefully retired. This was the state of things when the legislature met in January. Soon after, and once fairly settled in hurness, Senator Nosbitt, induced by the representa- tions of his many friends at the capital, al- lowed his name to be used for the position of United States attorney; of course virtually resigning his pretentions to the land office. At least it was so understood by his friends. ‘At once new complications arose. Together With nearly all of the old aspirants for regis- ter, five or 8ix new names were entered for the race, of which T. C. Patterson and Will- iam Woodhurst of North Platte, J.W. Jewett of Maxwell, and A. S. Baldwin of Lexing- ton, were the most prominent. In the new deal Senator Nesbitt's former supporters were n demand and gave their support to owe or the other of the new applicants for political honors. After the smoke of another flurry and scramble had cleared aw: the field was left to Jewett and Baldwin, with the odds in Baldwin’s favor. Sucn was the state of affairs when the legislature adjourned. About that time, it is understood, that Sena- tor Nesbitt received an intimation from United States Senator Mauderson to the effect that it was found to be impracticable to give him (Nesbitt) the attorneyship, but promising at the same time, that he should be taken care of. On the heels of this, and 80 closely thau it seemed a part of the same communication, there came a rumor that but one of the places would go to North Platte. Immediately thereafter it was announced that Nesbitt was again an ullx)li(‘unl for register. Here was a state of things. Another un- loading, repacking and reloading. Iddings was to be shelvea notwithstanding that he had received tne endorsement of every prom- inent republican in this city and a goodly number of letters from prominent republi- cans oll over the state, It goes without say- ing that Iddings and _his friends feit that, under the circumstances, they bud certuin rights which should be taken into considera- tion. A protest was drawn up stating the case about as hore given, which was gener- ally signed, not only by tho friends of Id- dings, but but ne 1l here who had provi- ously indorsed Nesbitt, and sent to the powers “behind the throne at Washington, asking the appointment of Iddings, in case it should be decided that but one of the places should g0 to North Platte. What the result will be it 18 impossible to predict at this writing. It is to fadings' advantage that he was first in the field, that he b the endorsement of every prominent politician in the district in- cluding Senator Nesbitt and his friends, and that from the first the receivership was con- ceded to him. On the other hand is Senator Manderson's preference for Nesbitt and his promise that he should be taken care of.” ‘Phere is 1o question but that if Nesbitt had allowed things to rest as originally settlca, and had not gone off after strange gods, hé would have received the appointment of reg- ister; whereas, now, he may find that “duos qui séquitur lepores, neutrum _capit.” (He who pursues two hares catches neither.) Senator Paddock is non-committal, and, as between the two, perhaps indifferent; but interested in that if but one of the two is ap- pointed it will give him the disposal of the other place for ono of his friends, Prominent Sweae Suicided. Yourk, Neb., June 2.—|Special Telegram ‘This city 18 in a fover of ex- citement over the suicide ot one of a promi- nent citizen, Chris H, Halstrom. At 9 o'clock this morning, Mr. Halstrom's part- ner, A. S. Hartan, went to their abstracy ofice and found him sitting in the vault, dead, with a bullet through his head. The deed had been performed but a short time when he was found. To his frienas, and those associated with him, the news was not 80 startling, as they had suspected that he might take his own life. Financial troubles and ill-health were the causes which led to his rash act. He had been very loose in his business affairs for some time, and his ac- counts with insurance and loan -companies would have been investigated. In a tinal letter to his brother-in-law, Captain N. P. Lundeen, he admitted having appropriated various sums of money, in the hope that he might be able to pay other debts and come out all right in the end. Mr. Halstrom was very nlgmy respected here, and was one of the influential Swedish residents of county; he was comparatively young and a good business man. He leaves a wife and two young children. —— Vigis on the War Path.

A Ghastly Case of Mistaken Identity in Fennsylvania, » On April 21 James White, of this city, disappeaved from hom ‘s o Scranton, Pa., special to the Chicago Herald. He was unwell when he left here and his mother supposed he had gone to Philadelphia for treatment at a hospital. On Saturday evening Mrs. White received a telegram from the superintending physician of a Cleve- land hospital stating that James White had died there Friday evening. She immediately ordered the romains shipped to hier and made a deposit of $60 with the United States Express com- pany to defray the expressuge. At o'clock this morning a_body consigned to her arrived and she had ‘it taken to her house. On oponing the coffin it was found that the corpse, which was arrayed for burial, was not that of her son, but the body of & man about forty years of age. Her missing son was twenty-two years old. The body was promptly returned to the depot, where the coffin was opened. From fifty to seventy-five men were presont at the time, and the majovity of them recog- nized the remains of a former Scranton- ian, but they could not positively iden- tify the body. While people were as- sembling at the White residence this afternoon to attend the funeral of young White, that gentleman arrived on a New York train and went direct to his mother’s house. A notice of his death telegraphed to a New York paper caused his sudden return. s A Childless Mother Suicides.

She lived only a few hours. The next day her husband shot himself with rvifle. Seeing that the shot had failed s intended purpose, Gruber ran to ver and leaped in. Anotherneigh- bor who saw the whole affair, but was not close enough to prevent it, followed Gruber and leaped in after him, caught Gruber as he rose to the surface of the water for the second time, and safely pulled him to the shore. Gruber will recover, as the wound is not considered dangerous. He assigns as the reason for his attempt that life had no charms after his wife’s death. i Jusiice Down Nesr Indiana.
