"A, Washington telegram to the Baltimore
Sun says that: the Granville note on the indi-
rect damage claim of this government was
the subject OF another discussion at the regu-
lar Cabinet meeting on Friday, though it Is
stated that no conclusion was reached. The
proposition made in the House to wholly aban-
don the claim does not meet With much favor
BY the administration, as there is sill hope
that there will be som plan devised Indeed
one is now the subject OF debatel by which
the treaty can be saved Without wholly walv-
ing the consequential claim. Possibly: it will
be agreedito lay 1t aside until the direct ques-
tions are settled, OF that q sum in gross be de-

al most extraordinary attempt to commit
suicide is reported from sherborne, In En-
gland. man employed as a fencer at Sher-
borne Castle was found bya woman In her
kitchen sitting by the fire, with blood issuing
from his mouth, blood being upon the floor
and his handkerchief on fire. She asked him
whathe lad done, and he replied that he had
tried to blow his brains out. Assistance was
Immediately obtained, when the nozzle Of a
psir of bellows was found lying by his side.
The old man said he had only half done it; his
old head was too thick to blow of. 1t seemed
the would-be suicide had been carrying fuses
and rock powder about him. and had drilled
q hole in the nozzle ola bellows, converting
it into a kind small cannon, and inserting
the end of It into his, mouth. He had been
addicted to drink, and had before threatened
ITO make a hole In the water" .
An interesting example of the way In
which the liberal divorce laws of Indiana
sometimes operate Is given In a louisville
paper. "A woman In, Indianapolis was In poor
health, and fearing that In case she should
die her husband would obtain the control OF
certain property that she possessed, she visited
her sister in Louisville, Kentucky, in order to
carry out q scheme which she had projected
to prevent 1t. While staying with her sister
she crossed the river to New Albany, where
she rented o house for three months, and on
this transaction based a residence there. She
then Instituted a suit for divorce, after which
she returned to her husband in Indianapolis.
About q year ago she received q tele-
graph dispatch requesting her imme-
dlate. presence In Louisville In con-
sequence OF illness in her sisters fam
lily, and showing this to her husband,
he readily consented to a second visit
to that city. At this time she again went
over to New Albany, where she received her
decree Of divorce, which she quietly put in her
pocket and carried home. 1t is possible that
the husband would have never known what
had taken place, at least during her life time,
had he not excited her Ire by insisting one
day too much on his OWL way as the head of
the family; upon which she very CURLY inform
ed him that he need not try to tyrannize over
her, as she was not his wife, at the same time
producing the documents to prove her asser-
ton. The husband was more than astonlshed;
but he insists upon 1t that such a divorce as
that will never stand, in which opinion he
is probably about right.
