SUICIDE OF AN AGED WOMAN.-On FRIDAY
morning, the 18th instant, an aged white
woman, named Ann Montgomery, who was
staying ut the time with the family OF Mr..
Adam Hildt, near Jarrettsville Md, com
mitted suicide by cutting her throst with a
shoemaker's knife. After breakfast she
was observed to 10 TO the grindstone and
sharpen the knife with which she commit
ted the deed, but nothing was thought OF
the circumstance at the time. She then
seated herself on the back porch, where she
was discovered sometime afterwards, dead
but still seated In her chair. with her head
resting on her breast, and the fatal knife
lying in her lap. She WAS without friends
and helpless, and II had been deter
mined to send her to the Almshouse.
Some days before her death, 1t is stated
that she had in her possession about two
hundred dollars, but as the money could
not be found after her death, It is supposed
that she must have lost It. The loss of her
money or her great dread Of being sent "a
the almshouse, it is supposed, led her "a
take her own life. The knife is quite duh
but SHE seems TO have used 1t with a him
hand having completely severed the iugu-
lar vein and windpipe. She WAS upwards
Of seventy years of age.

NARROW EsCArE.-A poor trampwcnd-
ing his way to Wilmington, undertook to
cross the 2, W. ~ B. K. X. bridge over
Chester creek, last evening, abent the
time the IS train, north, was dae at
Chester. Not having nerve sufficient To
walk erect over the beams of the bridge,
he attempted to pass over on his hands
and knees, and had gotten about half
way across, when, to his horror, looking
up, lie saw a locomotive bearing down
upon him with fearful velocity. Some
boys bathing in the creek, saw the danger
of the man and shouted to him to drop
into the water. This advice he seemed
at first inclined to act upon, but instead,
crawled to one side of the track and
crowded himself into II space Of Just If
teen inches wide-barely enough TO per-
nit the wheels of the engine to pass
without touching him. The engineer oil
the train said the man looked TO him like
n dog lying beside the track, or he would
have stopped the train. The tramp was
naturally, very much scared, and wher
the train had gone by him, wasn't slow
in his movements in getting across III,
