A wILMINGToNIAN CUTS HIS THROAT IN
SEVERAL. PLACES WITH A PEN KNIFE.
Several days ago, James A. Conner,
harness maker, of this city, doing
business ut No. 221 Market street went
to Newark, n. j. on business, and while
there attempted to commit suicide by
taking laudanum. He did not tsuceeed
in his attempt, and was brought back
to his residence, No. 1913 East Third st.
in this city. He has since been in
state of dependency, and has heen
closely watched.
About II 80 o'clock this morning, he
told his sister Mrs. Wilson, that he was
going into the bath room, to wash him
self. In few minutes afterwards she
went TO the bath room, and found the
door closed. She became alarmed and
throwing open the door saw him stan
ding in the middle of the floor with II
small pen knife in his hand,
CUTTING AWAY AT HIS THROAT.
She Immediately rushed forward. seiz-
| ed hold of both his arms and gave u loud
alarm. Mr.. John Kirkman, who keeps a
livery stable next door, and DIR. kirtsch-
ner. who was there talking with him. ran
| into the house, and up stairs into the
bath room, where they found Mr.. Conner
fairly
COVERED WITH BLOOD,
and struggling to complete his self-de-
struction. They conveyed him to his
bed room, took off his clothing and laid
him on the bed, when the blood was
washed off and his wounds sewed up, by
the physician. There were five gashes
in his throat, mainly on the right side,
but none of them were deep or long
enough to cause fatal result. Hls con-
dition is not regarded as dangerous, but
a close watch is kept over his actions.
Mr.. Conner's trouble of mind is sup
posed to be the result of pecuniary EN-.
barrassments and adverse business cir
lcumstances. He is an unmarried man
about "a years of age.

To tne Illinois Democracy.

1T now seems to be settled fact that
the dcmocary of Illinois will hold state
convention. As To just what they Will do
there is some doubt. We earnestly hope
they will adjourn without making any
nominations and thus leave the fight be
tween radicalism and the independents
1t will leave every individual democrat
free to vote for whom he pleases.
But if in the wisdom of the convention
it is thought best to nominate candidate,
we present to that convention as candl-
date for state treasurer, the name OF David
Gore, of MaGoupln county, as honest a
man as the sun shines upon "a man who Is
as capable as any man in the statc-a man
who stood by the democratic party when

BY strange coincidence the country is
presented, almost on the same day. with
two publications, each possessing much
food for thought and reflection. and each
entirely diverse in their character The
one is the report of the committee on ways
and means in reference to the ''maurad-
ing on the treasury, committed under the
"Sanborn contract" which we have
referred elsewhere. From this inelfablc
stain and disgrace on American politics
and finance it is pleasant to turn to the
othcr--to which we referred yesterday.
There could not he more opportune day
FOR the appearance of Summers "Prophet-
ic Voices Concerning America" than now.
We said yesterday, all that we desire to
say in reference thereto but we cannot
torbear the advice to our fellow citizens
that, as they turn with disgust and shame
from these disclosures, they should seek
Spaulding that they may procure and read
these ''prophetic voices" and the noble as
piratons of Charles Sumner. Those aspi-
rations can never become realities, unless
the people set the seal of reprobation on
such practices as are disclosed in the report
Read, study and practice the precepts Of
Sumner, so that our country may be saved
from future disgrace in this way

TEE TROY HOLLY TREE Inn
It's 0pcning---Riii of Fare. etc.

The Holly Tree Inn, recently established
on Third street, Troy, n y, was thrown
open TO the public for inspection on Mon
day last. The visitors began to arrive about
four o'clock, and at ten o'clock, when the
doors were closed. it was estimated that
not less than 1000 ladies' and gentlemen
had called at the inn. About 500 were
supplied with coffee or tea and crackers.
The rooms are pleasant fitted up in fine
style and looked charming on the opening.
l hat many people will be attracted to these
rooms TO dine and for amusement they have
not the slightest doubt. The inn will prove
a success for the simple reason that at no
kotcl or restaurant in the city can the same
quality and quantity of food be supplied at
such reasonable prices; besides the furnish
ing and appointment of the rooms are such
as can seldom be found in public places of
entertainment The inn was opened Tues
day morning for business proper, and has
been crowded all the time. The following
was the bill of fare offered for breakfast :
Plain beef steak, fifteen cents; pork chops
fifteen mutton chops, fifteen fresh fish,
ten; salt mackerel, ten fried trpe, ten ;
Goldfish cakes, ten corned beef hash, ten ;
fried mush, ten; fried ham and eggs, TWEEN
ty; fried eggs, ten; dry toast, five butter
ed toast, seven; milk toast, ten; hot biscuit
five; corn bread and butter, five buck
wheat cakes, ten; tea and coffee, five.

HOW sANRoRN OPERATED

now sANRoRN OPERATED
BY the testimony of Supervisor Hawley,
of New York, it is shown that as early as
the month of May, 1873, he, acting upon
the intruslions of the treasury department,
and also upon the version thereof given to
him by Supervisor Simmons, of New Eng
land, detailed, at the request of Sanborn,
who at that time was himself special
agent Of the treasury department, two of
his assistants, Steiner and Stowe, to make
examination of railroads alleged by San
born to have withheld taxes. This exam-
nation by these two government officers
dates two months at least prior to the max
ing of this contract. Among the examina-
tions shown to have been made was one of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad company. Steiner and Stowe We're
during all this time paid for their services
by the internal revenue department. The
committee find that the information furn-
ished by the paid officers of the government
on which collections were made, was plac-
ed at the disposal of Sanborn, who, avail
ing himself of information paid for by the
government, obtained a contract for the
collection of the very claims thus brought
to light and found to be due the govern
ment, 1t further appears from the tes-
timony of Sanborn that, when he applied
for this railroad contract, he furnished q
list of railroads, taken from a railroad
manual or.guide, comprising the names OF
500 railroad companies, being substantially
the entire list of railroads within the United
States that while he had knowledge of
the delinquency of only 100 to 100 of them,
he had no knowledge whatever of the de-
linquency of the remaining 400 or 45O. 1t
also appears that when he SO represented il
to the officers of the treasury department,
he was there told that sit didn't make any
difference, and to.put them all in ! where
upon he made affidavit that the entire 500
railroad corporations were delinquent and
were indebted to the government. They
were accordingly added to his contract. In
