Poison-Jealousy and Laudanum at
South Amboy.
The mania for suicide s developing itself strongly
in various sections OF New Jersey. Yesterday
Newark witnessed two cases. one OF them being
the unfortunate outcome OF rather singular CIR
cumstances. A few weeks ago one julius Richter,
piano tuner and musical instrument dealer in a
small way, native or Saxony, and about sixty
years Of age, had some trouble with farmer
named Aurenheimer, and previously with his
vile, who lives IN New York. The result was that
Julius was arrested for threatening to shoot
Aurenheliner. and bound over 10 keep the peace.
On being liberated he attempted to kill himself
but 1aIed. Still, the arrest and his domestic
troubles preyed on his mino, and yesterday morn
ing he succeeded ID ending his life by swallowing
heavy dose OF poison in the rear or his place, No.
105 Springfield avenue. He was found having BY
him a loaded pistol, which It is believed he In
tended using in case the poison failed its work.

P0rty-two aborers employed in laying the track
on the line Of the new Central Cross Town Railway
which win unite the Twentythird street and Chris
topher street ferries, struck for higher wages early
yesterday morning. Heretofore the men had been
receiving 81 25 each per day. and SIX OF the
number, who are members of q society, wishing
an increase OF wages, consulted with tho other
laborers. whereupon all hands hastily resolved
to strike for So 80 per day. They acquainted their
employers with this determination and were in
formed that the increase would not be given and
they were at liberty to cease work altogether IL
they desired It. The contractor afterwards, ON
the advice OF the officers OF the new road, agreed
men, paying them the former rate OF So rs per day.
They agreed 10 resume work al this rate and the
parties who melted the strike In the first instance
