SAD CASE OF SUIcIDE-On Monday morning
last, Mr.. Wesley W. Wilson, of Anne Arundel
county, aged about al years, died suddenly
at the residence of friend in Baltimore, where
he was temporarily stopping, from the effects Of
dose of morphine which he had administered
for the avowed purpose of ending his life. Mr..
Wilson had been in Baltimore a week or longer,
and was on Sunday very low spirited, especially
during the evening, when he impaired his pur-
pose to a gentleman who endeavored to divert
his mind. The fact that he had taken the fatal
drug was ascertained at about 81 p. m. sur
geon was promptly summoned, but was unable
to restore the unconscious sufferer. A brief note
was found, written by Mr.. Wilson, in which he
stated that he had been continually unhappy
since the death of his wife, year ago, and that
he did not care to live. The deceased was well
connected in Anne Arundel county and other
portions of the State. He was man of varied
general information, pleasing conversationalist,
and ordinarily genial companion, much esteem
ed and greatly regretted by the friends who knew
him. His father resides in Anne Arundel coun-
ty, and is a man of wealth and position. The
deceased leaves no children.

OUR STANDARD BEARERS. Every pickering,
every dissatisfaction, every element Of discord
that may be budding in the Republican ranks
should be laid aside. The people should assert
mildly, but firmly, decidedly, emphatically their
sovereign power and tell every unfit or unpopu-
lar aspirant for office that he must stand aside
and not infict an injury upon the cause by
thrusting himself upon the ticket. The one OBJ
ject of winning the fight must be kept steadily
in view. Every thought, energy and motive
must be in this direction. Any man whose
name would be in any way burden to the tick
ct should be invited to stand out of the way and
give place to some one who will be an advan-
tage instead of load to it. The people can
do this if they will. Don't wait until your con-

AN APPALLING SUICIDE-A WOMAN CRAzED WIFE
JEALOUSY AND ANGER THROWS HERSELF IN FRONT
OF A LoCoMoTIvE.-A terrible tragedy was enact.
ed this morning at Ainsworth Station, in the
town of Hyde Park about eleven miles from this
city. 1t was not conflict of arms between des-
perate men it was not the work of the bottle
red-eyed demon no murderous hand was uplift-
ed to slay with deadly blow or heart piercing
bullet fellow-being; but woman, goaded to
desperation by some real or imaginary wrong at
the hands of her husband deliberately proceeded
10 deed that will send, like charge of electrici-
ty thrill of horror throughout the entire COM
munity. When the sun rose this morning its
light, though obscured by dark and threatening
clouds, revealed wife and husband at that thrv-
ing suburb engaged in domestic turmoil Before
the orb Of day had cleared the skirts of the hori
ION the husband was wifeless, and horribly
mangled corpse, so mutilated that it lost all SEM
blance of human being, was all that remained
of the unhappy woman. The following are all
the facts that could be gathered At an early
hour this morning man and woman, residing
at Ainsworth, quarreled. The woman, ang2red
beyond endurance, put on bonnet and shawl,
stating as she departed, Goodbye, yop will
never see me again" She then made her way to
the depot sat calmly down on the steps of the
platform, and awaited, apparently without emo
ton, the arrival of the morning express-a train
that did not stop al the depot. 1t came thunder
ing along at full speed at the usual hour The
woman arose as she saw the steaming engine,
firmly braced herself, and, when the locomotive
was but short distance from the depot, she
hurled herself upon the track and was crushed

CoLoRED CoNvENTIoN.-0n Friday evening of
last week colored convention was held at
Douglass Institute, Baltimore city, composed
of delegates from seventeen wards. The object
of the meeting seemed to be maneuvre to COM
pell more appointments for the colored people.
But there was an undercurrent that gave in
splration to its movement of quite different
character. The whole affair was gotten up by
and for the same parties who about twelve
months ago got up a similar convention of the
colored people under the guise of educational
purposes" but in reality for their own person.
al advancement. The convention was born of
the same parents and died of the same disease
1t was only huckstering movement to create
political diyertion il favor of those who have
been ever standing across the path of the
party's success and consulting only their own
advancement. The best men among the col
ored people saw that it was only calculated to
work mischief and they used their influence to
have it adjourn without doing any thing. The
motion was adopted by vote ofabout SO to IL.
We trust that every time the selfish ones ofthe
Republican party attempt to use the colored
people for the promotion of their own ambition
that they (the colored people, will be wise and
patriotic enough to see and ward of the mis-
chief as they did in this and previous instances.
The miserable failure of the abortive attempt
only reveals the impotency of those who gave
it birth. Those who got possession of the con-
vention and adjourned it did so in behalfoft the
Republican party and not in behalf of any por-
tion or department of it, as the organ of the
originators would have the public believe.
