PLAYFUL ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE.-On Sa-
turday morning Henry Finke, Sr., was
brought before the Police Court, charged by
his son, Henry Finke, Jr., with being drunk
and disorderly, and with disturbing the
peace and quiet of the neighborhood in
which he resides. 1t appeared from the evil
dence that Fiuke, Sr., when sober, is a very
good sort OF man, but when drunk is a
dangerous character, and is then much IN
clined to maltreat his wife. On Friday, being
drinky, he was very aggravating to every bo-
dg in his house, and to cap the climax OF his
misdeeds announced that he had determined
to commit suicide. He went out and laid HIM
self down on the railroad track, with his
neck Upon rail, so that the first passing
train or locomotive might cut his head off.
None coming along soon enough he got tired
of waiting and went away.
Having possessed himself of pistol he
went into bis wife's room to execute there
his threat of killing himself In pulling the
pistol out of bis pocket, or by some other
accident, it prematureiy exploded, and the
ball struck one of bis fingers and cut into the
flesh quite deeply, but without doing any
very serious damage beyond badly frighten-
ing all present. Finke told the Police JUS
tice be never had had any idea of shooting
himself or anybody else. He "only yust
want to skeer der ole woman leetle, and
Amt kill myself yet" Nevertheless, the Po-
lice Justice, not appreciatipg such practical
Jokes, ordered that he furnish security in the
sum of 500 to be of good behavior for sew
eral months to come. Not having friends
willing to make that pecuniary venture, he
was to have been committed to Jail, but bis
son and wife entreated the Justice to let him
60 free upon condition that he would depart
hence without delay aud so it was fixed.

ing copgratulatory telegram was sent to Ra.

"To the Chairman Conservative Demon
stration, Raleigh. N. c.: The Kemper Kan.
paign Klub of Richmond sends you heartfelt
greeting, and is now firing one hundred guns
in honor OF the good old North State. The

sciously joining our enemies in their vlctori-
Gus rejolcings.

them all that humanity could possibly re.
quire of us, we now serve one hundred
