| SAD CASE OF SuICiDE-MARTiS BnLMYFR,
THE VICTIM DESTROYS uiMsELr WITH KNIFE
On Friday morning about o'clock, Mr.. J. X.
Hays, Of this city, while looking among the
shrubbery in the rear end Of his garden for a
kitten that had been missing, suddenly came
upon the mutilated and decaying remains OF a
dead man, which proved to be the body of Mar
tin Bilmyer, late an inmate of the county Jail.
Mr.. Billmyer, 1t will be remembered, was senten-
ced at the last term ofthc U. 8. Circuit Court to
six months imprisonment, besides paying fine
of 81 900, for violation of the internal revenue
law in the manufacture of whisky.
For some time past 1t had been apparent to all
who observed him that his mind was more or less
under the influence Of despondency bordering on
insanity, and the sheriff had very kindly given
him number of unusual liberties under the cir
cumstances. His mind seemed to be more ex-
crcised on last Tuesday than 1t had previously
been, and he expressed q very strong desire to
see his family. In the evening it was found that
he had disappeared, and all search for him prov
ing frutlcss, the sheriff started for the place of
his residence In order, If possible to learn some
thing concerning his whereabouts. No trace OF
him could be found until he was stumbled upon
by Mr.. Hays ms already stated.
Justice Hepburn summoned a coroner's jury,
who, after visiting the scene of the sad occur
renee, adjourned until the afternoon, when the
following verdict was rendered:
Commonwealth Of Pennsylrania, Lvconing Co.,
City Of WiAidmsport:
An inquisition inducted and taken at William
sport, in the county of Lycoming, this 10th day
of August, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and sxty-nine, before John Hep
burn, !. p, of the county aforesaid, upon the
view of the body of Martin Bmyer, then and
there, lying dead, upon the oath of Charles r.
Miller, w. II. Philips, David Robinson. James
Rothrock, Charles Scheffe and g. S. Ransom,
good and lawful citizens of the county aforesaid,
who, being sworn and affirmed to inquire on the
part of the Commonwealth, when, where, how
and after what manner the said Martin Billmyer
came to his death, do say that the said Martin
Billmyer did, while laborng under Il mental abcr-
rations, stab; himself and cut his own throat
with common pocket knife, and that the same
Martin Billmycr came to his death as aforesaid
and not otherwise.

We hear of snakes being more numerous than
usual this year hercabouts, especially rattesnakcs
and copperhcads. They are along the rail-
road and in the fields daily, and large black

THE Avalance Of Saturday unin-
tentionally did Mrs. Shubart a wrong
in publishing rumor that she had
bilked the people who contributed
to her relief when deserted by her
husband a week or so ago. The re-
port was that after receiving contri-
buttons she had joined her husband
at Snake river and divided profits
with him. Nothing could be further
from the truth. She went from here
in the stage with her two daughters
to Boise City, and, as we are inform
ell by Charley Barnes, Is now en-
eared in cooking for harvest hands
on a ranch near Boise, while her
oldest daughter is employed in the
Overland Hotel. We began to feel
! little green over the matter our
selves, but are glad to know that 1t
was genuine case OF destltution.
We always prefer to hear Of poverty
rather than imposition.

STAGE uPsET.-As the Boise stage
was going down the steep grade
beyond the Summit on Friday eyen-
ing, il met a team in the road where
the grade was too narrow to pass.
The teamster took part of his oxen
and hitched to the hind part of the
coach to back it up 10 wider place.
During tie operation the chain broke
letting the coach run off the grade,
when it went tumbling to the bot
tom Of the ravine, perfect wreck,
where it remained at last accounts.
Fortunately the team was unhitched
and the passengers all out, SO that
all the damage was TO the coach, the
extent of which we have not ascer-
tanned, and by some means one OF
the stage horses was slightly hurt.
The grades on nearly all the toll
roads in the country are too narrow,
causing much delay to teams and
coaches. but this is the first instance
where an accident has occurred.

Democrats are understood to have
an easy working majority in the city,
when united, and therefore the fight
for nominations has engendered
much i'll feeling, which threatens
defeat. The chiv wing are intense
f1aters OF foreigners-specially of
the Irish, and the latter hold the
winning cards, control the party,
and also the city /; and feeling secure

small success. The present Mayor
-McCoppin-rules the ring. He is
evidently an enterprising Irishman,
having voted and held office several
years before he became naturalized
citizen. The chivs are jealous and
dissatisfied, and there is no donbt
but many of them will support an
independent ticket for city officers.
The move is open and many promi-
nent names published. To offset

ton of affairs is proof positive that
