ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.-A man
arrested for drunkenness on the street, Saturday
acknowledging his name as Thomas Farrell
at the time-tried to kill himself in his cell by
hanging, later in the evening. He was discoY-
cred by Officer Hall hanging to the door with
rope made from the shreds of his shirt, torn up
for the purpose. Hall cut him down in q condi-
ton of hesitancy between life and death, and in.
formed Assistant Marshal Washburn who took
position near by, where he could watch opera
tions unobserved, while DR.. Wood was sent for
to come and judge as to whether or not the fel-
low was crazy. When he thought the coast was
clear he took off his trousers as the only avail
able rope material in the cell, and tore them
up; after which he again suspended himself
by the neck. When he had got so far as to leave
no doubt as to his determination to destroy HIM
self, Mr.. Washburn put stop to the hanging
and stood guard over the man until the arrival
of the doctor, who pronounced him insane, and
he was sent to the hospital, having given the
name of Adams, in contradiction of his first
story. He is apparently stranger in the city,
but nothing could be CLEANED from his talk to
indicate where he was from. He said his occu.
patton was that of printer, and gave as
reason for his actions that he had done nothing
wrong and wanted to die.

ADJOURNMENT.
There is talk of an adjournment Tuesday, but
if congress gets off Wednesday night it will be
doing very well. Its impossible yet to say how
long the two houses may hang upon the kuklux
bill. The house win never agree to two or three
of the senate amendments; and, unless the lat
ter gives way, the session may be prolonged for
some days.
THE DEMOCRATS AND THE KUKLUX.
The action of the house democrats, yesterday,
on the kuklux bill is regarded as confession
that they have not made any party capital by
the long debate upon it, and that they do not
believe they can make any by further debate. 1t
also clearly indicates that they are weary of the
session, and are anxious for speedy adjourn
ment.
BILL IN DANGER.
The house quarrelled for long time over the
deficiency bill, and a second attempt was made
to defeat the senate repeal of the law conyening
each new congress in March, but it failed. Then
over fifty republicans, led by Messrs. Bingham,
Garfield, Butler, Hoar and others tried to kill the
bill, but they were dreadfully beaten. 1t was

hard to get an appropriation for the poor col
