SANGUiN4RY SUICIDE.
An Insane Woman Cuts her Wrists
and Bleeds TO Beath.


A shocking case of suicide was reported
at the Coroner's office yesterday morning,
which, according to the facts developed,
might possibly have been prevented had the
victim been sent to that institution which
was founded to meet the requirements of
the case. 1t is certainly painful TO part
with dear relative, but sad experience
has demonstrated the danger of allowing an
insane person to be at large. On receiving
notice, the Coroner's Clerk, O'Brien, re-
paired to the dwelling house, 127 Turk ST.,
near Jones, and found that woman nam
ed Annie Schneider had terminated her ex-
lstence during the night in a frightfnl-
manner. After retiring to her room last
evening, she had procured a razor, and
made deep incision in each wrist, an inch
and half in length. She then came down
TO the foot of the stairs, laid herself on tie
floor, and bled to death. No unusual noise
was heard about the premises during the
night, and the first knowledge of the tragic
affair was the discovery of the poor woman
lying stitf and cold in a pool of blood.
The deceased left long letter in the
German language, in which she stated that
her sutferings had been almost beyond en-
durance for three months past, and her
mental condition so weak that a mere child
could make her nervous. She was Sc years
old, and never committed any wrong act
yet felt that some one was prosecuting her;
and she prayed God to relieve her of his
presence. She complained of not under
standing the English language it was
great bar to her happiness in this country.
She wished to be buried beside a daughter
who died some time ago, and leaves
her watch to her son Martin, chain TO
Wilhelm and buckle and pin to Annie.
The letter states further, that she is not
afraid to die, and does not wish her name
mentioned after death. Reference is made
IN several cases to the cause which led her
to commit suicide, and in one place she
says that in this nineteenth century men
are not punished for perpetrating crimes,
and there is man trying to kill her. Mrs
Schneider was widow, and has been crazy
for the last three years, but never attempted
any deed of violence before. She has sew
eral married daughters and som residing
in this city, and one of the latter has been
staying with her for year past. The cor
oner will hold an inquest in the case.

A Row FOR LIFE. Last Friday evening,
between eight and nine o'clock, young
man IN the employ of Taber, the we'll
known boatman ut Black Rock, started
from Chippewa in a light wherry, to come
across the river. He seems to have miscal-
culated the strength of the current, for his
boat was taken rapidly down the stream,
and here his attention was drawn to his
danger, he was near the head OF the mill
race, within a very short distance of the
rapids, and speeding onward toward the
Falls As soon as be eOmprended the
situation, however, he piled himself vigOr-
ously to bis oars. and although he was
obliged to work for nearly an hour to ac-
complish two or three rods OF headWay, he
finally reached tie shore and landed with
the firmly established impression that he
had experienced what is generally termed
a narrow escape The fortunate fact that
this young man is one of the best oarsmen
in this vicinity probably ayerted a fatal
catqstrophe.-BUfdlO Express, Sd.

immense popularity Of that celebrated rem

children against going down to this bank,
lest some of them should fall over into the
pond, where the water was deep enough to
drown the biggest of them.
On the last Fourth OF July Willie Sanford
and his sisters and ittlubrotLer had gons
out to gather wild flowers, TO make some
bouquets to give to little friends who had
come from the city to spend the Fourth
with them.
Seeing some very beautiful flowers on
the bank, Willie thought that for this once
he might go, even though his fltber had
prohibited him, and on reaching out his
hand to pluck some, slipped, and tell over
into the water. With the exception of the
little brothers, ali the children ran to get
help. Mary ran. back to the house for ma,
another went to the barn for ladder snd
another for ropes, while little Jamie, only
four years old, stood and cried.
Mr.. Sanford, who was at work little
way of, heard the cries and FASTENED to the
spot just in time to save Willie.
The other children did the best they
could, but little jamie did more than all;
his cries brought the father IN time. Bv
