SUICIDE IN B%ALTINoRI-A NAN HANGS
HIxsELp.-On Saturday night, William
Braul, trunk manufacturer, residing at
No. 22s South Bond street, neal Canton
avenue, committed suicide by hanging
at his dwelling. Hs fastened one end
of his necktie to . pair Of compasses
secured to the top Of the door frame,
and placed the other end around his
own neck, while standing on q chair.
He then drew one foot of the chair,
without anything under to sustain the
weight Of his body. It seems that about
half.past 8 o'clock that night he told
his wife that he was going to take a
trunk to the store Of Mr.. Holman, on
Broadway. She said that as she was
going to market she could with her
eldest daughter carry the trunk. To
this he agreed, aud his wife and daugh-
ter went out. % returning, about a
quarter to ten o'clock, they found him
suspended as above stated, one foot
touching tho chair and the other hang
ing down. The wife Immediately cut
him down, the l~ifelsss body falling on
her. Az o o as possible Dr.. Dwinelle
was summoned, but he found that life
was extinct. An inquest was held by
Coroner Holt, the jury rendering a yer.
dict in accordance With the above stated
facts. The deceased was about forty
eight years old, aud leaves four chill
dren. No cause for the rash deed wal
assignsd.-Baltimors American, Jan. 81.

TEE MARRIAGE OF COUSINS y ITS
CoxsIeurScEs.-Dr. S. G. Howe, Prin-
eipal Of the Institution for the Blind at
Boston, Mass, says:
"Thers can be no mistake at all about
the fact that the tendency to have de-
fectirs offspring Is greater where parents
are defective, than with others. But

defect will take that form in his or

The child may DO defective in physical

fest itself. It may skip one generation
and manifest itself in the next. Iknor
of thirteen blind children, in a neighbor-
ing county, the descendants Of n blind
man vAo married his cousin. In the first
generation there was no blind children.
You would took round and see these
children all happy, all enjoying the
blessing Of sight, and say, 'it is all
moonshine, this idea about defective
people marrying In the second and
third generations came thirteen blind
children from the intermarriage OF a
blind man with his cousin.] think

TIE Methodist Social which is to be

ought to be "a warmer" inasmuch as
it Is gotten up for the purpose Of paying
for the church stoves. This is the
ayowed object; but We have heard it
hinted that certain ladies who have got
IL into their heads that Parson Fisher,

stoves or no stoves, it ought to be pat
ronixed.-Carson Appeal, this morning.
We second the "~stove" movement,
and hope it may prove a success, as we
believe in warm stoves. Now, serious

We therefore hope he will get a help

Conference Of his church, and as he
intends being in Chicago the most OF

vsntion that q eredential as a member
70 the National Union Convention be

THE BRNNRHoFF ROBBERY.
Further Partioulars-Ths Loss reported
TO DO S35O,000.


Prom the Titusvills (Pa) Herald, Jan. 81
Mr.. Bennehof's losses are much larger
than first reported. 1t appears that the
old gentleman did not know exactly the
dimensions Of his greenback pile. Tho
losses so far al ascertainsd exceed $780,
900, and It is thought may approximate
$3.50, 900. A gentleman who visited
the family yesterday informs US that a
guard is now stationed in the house
night and day, Notwithstanding 1t is as
serted that the deposits have been re-
moved from the other safe. Mr.. Ben
nehoff, Sr., is slowly recovering from
the effects Of the outrageous assault.
His face is severely bruised and discol-
ored from the blows received, and his
body still lore from merciless punches
aud mauls. He informed u friend
that a desperate attempt was made to
rob him several months ago. Three
strangers stopped at the house about
dark to obtain matches, and Afterwards
asked for milk and whisky. The latter
was refused, and they reluctantly went
away without obtaining admission to
tho house. About midnight the in-
mates were alarmed by an attempt to
force open a window from the outside.
The Bennehofs were on the alert and
discharged o rife and revolver at the
burglars. Several shots were returned,
and then the marauders retreated. We
would state in this connection, as a
warning TO these Oil Greek burglars,
that the Benuehoff mansion is sffectually
defended, and any future assaults will
provoke a desperate resistance.
[Ti,usvilie Cor. Of the Rochester Uaion.l
On the hill top between the head

thirty-seven years he has seen the sea-
sons come and 60, producing their crops
Of corn and buckwhsat, and filling his
Golfers very gradually with that enticing
something the love Of which is the root
Of all evil. When the oil excitement
burst over the country, his high lands,
his hill tops and woods we're not con-
sidered worth tho while Of any Of tho
"companies" who bought almost every
thing, and It wal not until some three
years ago that the old gentleman could
add to bis receipts any income from oil.
Since that time money has been flowing
in upon him in an uninterrupted stream
In sums varying In amount from $780,
600 to $50, 600 monthly. And what
sboald the man do with this but keep 1t
III his house, buy iron safes forts keep
ing and revolvers and rides and all
kinds of arms but 6eld.pieees for It's
keepers. Nothingthat bis friends could
say could induce this old gentleman TO
forego this insane course, and mont

BsIBrRY.-A sad stigma rests on the
Legislature Of 1868. 1t is charged that
any of the members were bribed to
vote for Eugene Casserly al United
States Senator? That such high.minded
and honorable men as the people Of
California always send to represent them
10 the Legislative Halls can be corrupt
ed, appears almost too extrayagant q
superstition to be credited. Surely,
California does not send to the Legisla-
ture impecunious adventures, who cal
culate upon tho place being worth $40
a day, and . few hundred dollars in the
way Of "pickiugs." Certainly, If poor
men are, as Q rule, sent to the Legisla-
ture, bribery will prevail to q greater
extent than If 1t is composed Of men Of
wealth and position. It is more easy
to bride a poor man than Q rich one. 1t
is to be hoped that o thorough investi-
cation Of this matter will be made, and
that the names of the "houorable gen.
tlemen" who sold themselves will be
published, with the price at which they
disposed Of their principles, affixed to
each. It is just within the range Of
possibility that legislators have been
bribed, that some of these legislators
may possess political inf ceands social
standing sufficient to render the expos
ure of the fact that they accepted brides
extremely painful to the people OF the
State at larre. We trust, however, that
the investigating committee will, with
Spartan frmness, hold them up to pub
lie re~probation. Only thus can q
Legislatures DO purifed.-S. 3. Dolly
Critic.
There is much good sense in the fore
going extract; and Its points apply a.
we'll to this latitude as to any. It would
be well for the people Of this State to
keep an eye open when the next cleo
ton for legislators comes around.
