SUICIDE In JAIL.
WIfe-Abuser Is Sentenced TO jail and Com
mitR SuIclde in His CeIi.

mits Suicide in His Cell.
On last Monday, says the Toledo Blade, Of the
I'd inst, a German shoemaker named Frederick
Werner was arragned in the Police Court on the
charge of assaulting and abusing his wife.
On hearing the story of the wretched wife,
Judge Penfield imposed penalty upon the hus-
band of twenty days imprisonment in Jail The
prisoner received his fate with brute-like indif-
ference, and being handcuffed was marched,
with the rest of the prisoners, to the jail
After being securely lodged within his narrow
quarters the husband brooded over his conduct
and the sorrow and disgrace which he had
brought upon himself and his family.
Last night was the appointed time for the
consummation of the rash deed, and amid the
darkness of the dreary Jail, when no sound but
the deep drawn breathing of the slumbering
prisoners broke the weird silence, the man put
an end to his earthly troubles.
The means by which the man killed himself
are somewhat singular. At the customary hour
in the evening for locking up prisoners, Werner,
who exhibited nothing unusual in his appear
ance, was locked in his cell like the rest. This
morning shortly before seven o'clock, the turn
key proceeded to let the prisoners out of their
cells, when that officer was startled at finding
Werner lying cead upon his face on the floor of
the cell, with his head towards the door. A
towel with firm knot tied in it, through which
which was secured a barrel stave, was twisted
with great tightness around his neck.
He doubtless had these articles secreted in his
cell when he was locked in. 1t is evident that
the man tied the towel about his neck, and then
inserted the stave through the loop and per-
formed the slow process of strangulation by
twisting the loop to the necessary tightness
around his throat by turning the stave round
and round.
Mrs. Werner, it seems, at the instance of her
friends, soon after the imprisonment of her hus-
band, resolved to leave the latter and had re-
tanned an attorney to procure bill of divorce.
But death has anticipated the wished-for decree
in a court of justice.

would win the race, and every man, woman,
and child on the ground was wrought up to the
highest pitch of excitement. Sedate old Judges
lost their dignity, and hurrahed at the top of
their voices, the ladies waved their haudker-
chiefs, children screamed, and young Coker
gained on his time every round. Finally the
Marshal tapped the bell as the last mile was
made, and announced "sixty miles in twohours
and ffty-three minutes At this young Coker
exclaimed: "Let me give them another mile for
good measure, and with an eye as clear as an
eagles, and limbs as 1.-THE as the mountain does,
he mounted fresh horse and made his sixty
first and last mile in two minutes and fifteen
seconds.
1t is safe to say there never was such a con-
course of people, or such q scene in Western
Texas. Men wanted to carry him around on
their shoulders-wanted to treat him-give him
coffee, ice water-anything. Finally, he was
taken up into the judges stand and introduced
by the marshal; and that the crowd might have
chance to do something for him, prominent
banker of this city pulled off his hat and called
out, "All who wish to do something for the
young man, here's chance" The last we saw
of him, his hat was well laden with gold aud
silver, which was given to Coker, in addition to
the premium of the association.

TEXAS in THE SADDLE.

The Great sixty-nlile Race In Two Hours and
Fifty-three Minutes mt san Antonio.
The San Antonio Herald of the 18th ultimo
Two months since the Agricultural Stock
Raising, and Industrial Association of Western
Texas" domiciled at San Antonio inserted tie
following advertisement in their city papers-
'The Agricultural, Stock-raising, and Indus
trial Association of Western Texas offer a spe-
cial premium of $50 to the first and $25 to the
second winner in sixty-mile race around their
track at San Pedro Springs, provided that the
distance is made in three hours. None but
TeXas-raised horses and TeXas-made saddles to
be used. No limit as to number. The race to
come off during the holding of their fair, from
the 5th to the 8th of October next"
This announcement caused some little talk on
the subject, but the almost universal opinion of
the public was that the race could not be won
on TeXas-rased horses in that time. Up to the
morning of the day not single entry had been
made, and the directors were in despair. How
ever before IL O'Clock, Neil Coker appeared
upon the grounds with twelve COW ponies, and
declared il his intention to contest for the prize
Neil Coker was born and raised in BeXar county,
is about twenty two years of age, weighs some
where between 1875 and 1876 pounds is likely
active young man, fair type OF our stock
raising community.
Nothing special occurred up to the Sth mile
| when an uDgoyernable mustang flew the track
| altogether, and made circuit down through
| the woods; meeting the San Pedro irrigating
| canal, he turned back through the agricultural
| department, leaped an eight-horse-power thresh-
| ing machine, and finally, despairing of making
his escape, tried his 'leyel best" to pitch young
| Coker over his head. By this time his attend
| ants reached him with another horse he got
| back into the track and proceeded ON his way.
| About the thirtt enth mile, another horse broke
| on the other side of the track and came very
near a stone wall. He was finally brought to q
| full stop, but considerable time was lost.
| With all these mishaps, at the end of the
| thirty miles young Coker was two minutes
| ahead of time. The Marshal, General Young,
| made this announcement in voice that could
| be heard for half mile round.
The crowd now began to get excited, and a
| universal shout went up for more and better
| horses. Men who had refused the use of their
! horses and scoffed at the possibility of such q
race, began to believe he would make the trip.
From this time on, young Cokers fortunes
! smiled upon him. He now made on each horse,
once or twice only mile and half, aud made

RUSSIA AND GERMANY.

Reforms In Accordance with the Prnssian
The st. Petersburg correspondent of the Pail
Mall Gazette writes, October s.
A discovery has just been made by the Rus
sian War Department which has caused no
small alarm in military circles here. 1t appears
that after the war of 1856 the Russian Govern
ment applied at Berlin for a number of Prussian
officers to act as instructors in the Russian
army. The application was readily granted,
and some of the most experienced and able
members of the Prussian staff were sent to st.
Petersburg. These gentlemen were distributed
among the various military departments,
with full powers to examine all the de-
tails OF the army organization, and suggest
reforms in accordance with the Prussian
system. They were employed on this duty
until the outbreak of the present war, giving
many valuable hints to the Russian officers, but
at the same time making themselves tho
roughly acquainted with all the weak points of
the Russian army and its administration. A
few months ago the Minister of War determined
to have an accurate survey made of the whole of
Southwestern Russia, and three of the Prussian
instructors were employed for this purpose.
They did their work admirably, and were well
paid for their ability and zeal. series of
maps were engraved from their drawings, which
are acknowledged by all to be perfect marvels
of accuracy and clearness; but the drawings
themselves have disappeared. There Is no
doubt that the Prussian officers have taken
them to Berlin, where, coupled with the informa-
ton they took such pains to obtain during their
simply invaluable in the case of q Russo Prus-
sian war. The prospect OF such war is much
feared here just now, and has contributed not
little to the almost cordial tone toward Germany
which is now assumed both by the government
and some organs of the press. One of the most
significant manifestations of this change of
policy is the conduct of the authorities IN the
Baltic provinces, the country where the antago-
nism between Russian and German has APP
peared in its most extreme form. At the begin
ming of the war the Germans in these provinces
took every opportunity of showing their sym
pathy for the Fatherland, making collections
in favor of the wounded, holding patriotic
meetings, and singing patriotic songs
These demonstrations greatly provoked
the Russians, and the military governor, Gene
raj Albedynskoy, issued order strictly for
bidding public meetings, and directing the
sums collected for the wounded TO be divided
equally between the Germans and the French.
M. Galkin, the civil governor, at the same time
completely suppressed the use of the German
language in public offices, and took measures
for making Russian the predominant language
of the country. Both of these high functiona-
ries have now been dismissed and their places
have been taken by General Prince Bragation
and Prince Stresznietf, the former German by
origin, the latter a German by education and
aalin

The activity in speculative circles continues,

of all the funds the banks have to spare. Rates
continue steady at 516@61S per cent. on call,

movement of currency hence towards the West
and South is remarkably light for this usually

the money market here for the rest of the year
will be steady. The only element likely to dis
