Prudent ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE. A
man about two miles north of the village of
Rome, IN. W attempted, last week, to cut
his throat. He is said to have been intoxi-
Gated, but he was sober enough to cut his
throat with so much care, that there could
be little danger. He pulled the skin as
far out as he could, thrust knife through
it, with the back to his neck and cut ont
instead of IN. This is what we call pru-
IDENTITY done. This man is in a fair way to
recover. May he live thousand years, as
they say in Spain.-.New York paper.

About mid day Yesterday the owners OF ma

THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 1, 1897.


The high wind Of yesterday completely open
ed the navigation Of the Potomac, which we
have every right to believe will not be inter-
rupted again during the present winter. There
is still little soft ice between Georgetown and
The Potomac Bridge, but none below the bridge,
and that above will probably not stand longer
than to-day.
The Bankrupt Bill, which, for several years
past, has occupied so large a space in the deli
bera,ions Of Congress, was yesterday solemniy
rejected in the Senate, by vote OF Twenty-Five
10 fifteen. The Senate was Of course not full,
but we learn that, had all the members been in
their seats, the majority against the bill would
have been still greater. I, seems 10 be the ge-
neral opinion, that the measure has received
death blow.
The information contained in the following
paragraph, which we extract from the New
York Mercantile Advertiser, is corroboraied
BY several letters, TO gentlemen in this District,
one of which letters, to member Of Congress,
is now before US:
a passenger in the Star, which arrived be-
low last night, Is days from Havana, informs
that Com. PoRrER, with his squadron OF FRI
gate, briggs aud a schooner, was at Key West,
where he was blockaded by the Spanish squad
ron under Com Labords, consisting Of 3 frigates,
briggs and 4 schooner. Com. PORTER had
sen, 4 cartel to Havana, with the crew and pas
senger,, IS in number, OF the Sp. brig Hercu-
les, which he captured of Cape Antonio. The
Constellation sailed from Havana days before
the Star, for Key West. The John Adams,
had arrived from Vera Cruz, and sailed l4th
inst on q cruize."

has again refused 10 postpone The election OF

.pno;n,ed. 10 make third effort on the part

rDuuica,ion from the "CALHouNIrEs" will be

be complied with in subsequen, number, but
without demanding the promised reward
There was a time when recommendations OF
MIR. Calhoun could be too strong 10 meet gen.
.ral appreciation; bu, his subsequent conduct
has so completely forfeited the public comb
dence. that old iecomme ndstious serve only as
