that regard for the rights Of every prisoner which
has been prominent characteristcsof his admins

the prisoner until he was fully identified as
the man who was indicted at Springfield for the
murder Of Daniel Hertzler. Then followed a scene

A SaIoon-keeper Shoots Himself ON Ac-
count OF the Sunday Liquor Ordinance.
From the Chicago Times, 18Th.
The suicide Of Mr.. Matthew Wostnonsky, at No.
478 South Canal street, yesterday afternoon, was
one of the most peculiar ones that has happened for
some time. Deceased was Bohemian saloon
keeper. He was aged about forty-siX years. and
had only himself and wife TO support, their only
child beng married to a worthy young mechanic. A
few weeks ago one OF the West-sde policemen car
red to Mr.. Wotnonsky circular printed in the Ger
man language, ordering him to keep closed bis
saloon on Sunday. This was signed by w. W. Ken
nedy, Chief OF Police.
The poor man worried over this order a great deal
His business through the Week did not amount to
much and 1t was only on the Sabbath day that he
managed to make anything In dealing out lager
beer and bad liquors Once he said to his wife =
"What can DO? l can't make my living, 80 l will
have to shoot myself" The wife expostulated with
him, and for the time being quieted his excited
had opened his saloon, he picked
up the paper and read something which
made him perfectly furious. He laid down the
paper, exclaiming "Ihats my last" aud went into
his bedroom. Taking a revolver from the bureau
he tried to shoot himself but before he could ac-
cOmplish his intention his wife interfered and took
the pistol from his hands. She then made him pro-
mise to attempt n0thing OF the kind again.
For several hours he sat in the saloon, utterly re-
fusng to speak TO any one. Finally he said to his
wife that he would go In and lie down. moment
later she heard the report OF a pistol and when she
rushed into the bedroom she discovered to her
rOr that he had shot himself.
The ball had entered over the right ear, and
lodged in the brain. Several physicians were sum
moned, but they were OF no use In less than one
hour the man was dead.

THE COAL TRADE.

Tne schuylkIll Rate of Wages for june
Ths Appeal of the Operators The LehigN
Region and the situation--The Complete
Tonnage FOR the Wcek-QuotRtions, Etc.
The commhtees of operators and miners of the
Schuylktll reg met during the week for the pur-
pose of asceil ,nlng the average price OF coal for
the month OF June and OF fixing the rate OIL wages.
The average price was found to be S26l per ton
for the previous thirty days. according 10 the books
examined, which, according to the decision OF the
umpire, would reduce the wages four per cent from
This rate is lower than the men expected, butso
far 1t appears unlikely tnat there will he any diff
fCulty on that account. Should another month
show q still lower average, which Is probable, then

time is not expected, II the majority or the men
have any say in the matter.

uhasers to come and buy now, saying that they are

ances the ultimate effect OF which course would,
however be disastrous by creating in undue de-
mand and consequent high prices in the future
But it might be question whether the purchasers
are not buying in their usual quantities at this
time of the year, and whether the operators do not
desire them to depart from their usual custom aud
purchase their winters supply now instead OF later
in the season. The result which Is feared is result
of the action OF the miners In suspendng, and II
lower prices come Immediately by reason OF it
which is the thing that the operators fear more than
the excessive demand OF the latter part of the
season, though they are urging the FORMER upon
he purchasers as reason why, Ior tnelr own bene-
not reasonably be expected to put themselves very
much out Of the way to accommodate the miners
and copnteract the evil effects of their own work.
The miners cannot expect that after doing so much
injury to the trade they are to go scot free and
never know, when they are working, that suspen-
sion had ever taken place.
The situation in the Lehigh region remains SUBJ
stantally unchanged. A meeting Of the w. B. A. of
the district was held during the week. when 1t was
resolved to agree to a compromise. The men We're
instructed to accept an advance OF hve per cent on
the offer of the operators and go to work. But this
advance the operators refuse to give, saying that

The market at this port Is reported active, with
good demand at slightly advanced rates. Vessels
are not as plenty as last week.

trade for the past week, reported for the Potts.

Or. l.. Q. c. WISHART'S
THEORY"
His Remedies Cure.

First. Not by stopping cough, but by loos-
ening and assisting nature to throw off the
unhealthy matter collected about the throat
and bronchial tubes, causing irritation and
cough.
Second. Most Throat and Lung Remedies
are composed of anodynes, which allay the
cough for while, but, by their constringing
effects, the fibres become hardened, and the
unhealthy fluids coagulate, and are retained
in the system, causing disease beyond the
control of our most eminent physicians.
Third. The Pine Tree Tar Cordial, with its
assistants, are preferable, because they remove
the cause of irritation Of the mucous men,
brane and broncial tubes, assisting the lungs
to act and throw off the unhealthy secretions
and purify the blood, thus scientifically MAX
ing the cure perfect.

now find themselves in hot water In their endeavors
TO settle upon candidates for the rest OF the city

been identified with some of the ciy lm'uisson
bills bot Mr. Barger who does not relish to be thus
twisted about by the wire-puers, declares that he

Caucus Nominations.
On Thursday last the Democratic members Of both
branches of Councils met in Common Council Cham
Der to nominate a candidate for Guardian of the
Poor. Last week the Supreme Court sitting at Har-
risburg, appointed James Armstrong member OF
the Board OF Guardians put 1t is questionable whe-
ther this appointment Will stand, seeing that at the
recent session OF the Legislature an act was passed
transferring the power Of appointing the Guardians
from the Courts TO Councils.
The caucus on Thursday was called TO accept the
provisions of this act, by nominating candidate to
represent the minority" in Councils, and the gen.
tleman selected was DR.. James Kent Gilbert. They
overslaOghed Mr. Armstrong who has been highly
respected member of the board for many years. it
was he who started the agitation against the prac-
tice of selling the bodies OF deceased paupers to
medical schoos-a practice which gave to the Guar
dans the certainly unpleasant title of BOARD OF
Buzzards," and which was eventually broken up.
Next Wednesday afternoon the Republican men,
bers hold their caucus for the same purpose
