be- Chicago Tibune's dispatch
from Lafayette, Ind, of the 11th,
gives the following account of sui
eide. almost without parallel in truth
or fiction, in which skillful mechanic
aud inventor, tired of life, brought his
genius to. bear upon the contrivance of
species of automatic guillotine, the
workings of which were arranged and
secured with patient deliberation and
absolute accuracy, so that wheL the
proper time had arrived the horrid
machine did its work with inexorable
precision. and that the head of the
sc entiGc suicide was severed from the
body at a single stroke:
James A. Moore, aged about 35,
living on farm near the Farmers
Institute, about l5 miles south of this
city, committed suicide at the Lahr
House in this city last night. He
leaves wife and three children. No
cause is know IN for the deed. The
manner In which it was accomplished
Is perhaps unparalleled in horrid in
genuify. He came TO the Lahr House
Saturday, said he was pertecting an
Invention, and would probably stay
week, but would visit his home Mon.
day, and prepaid his bill till that time
He called at the Mechanic shop Of
Harding q Sons. had large new
Droad-ax and two bars of 3-inch wide
by l-lnch thick iron. l6 inches long,
which be had riveted to the head of
the axe. On either side, fastened to
these bars in the shape of handle to
an ak, he had system of wooden bars
ieet long, the extreme end Of which
was fastened to. a cross piece, secured
to the floor by hinges. The ak was
raised and held to It's nearly perpen-
dicular position by double cord fas.
tened to the wall. Between the
cords stood candle, arranged so that
when the candle burned down to the
cords 1t would burn them off, and the
ak fall. Where the ak would strike
he placed small box, open on one
side, in which when found, was his
head with some cotton, which had
been chloroformed. His chin was
held up from his neck by stick run
across the box, through holes on either
eide, holding his head firmly in posi-
ton. He was strapped tightly to the
floor with two straps, one around his
legs, another about his, arms and
breast. The straps were both screwed
to the floor, rendering it impossible to
move. It is supposed that he set his
ak, lit the candle, and strapped him
self to the floor. put his head in the
box with the chloroformed cotton, and
was probably insensible when the ak
fell. The. ak and fxings would weigh
about 50 pounds, and would fall dis
tance of from 10 to Is feet. His head
was completely severed from the body
and the ak buried in the boards be-
meath.

+. W. Keyes and the Whiskey Ring.

That highly honorable quartette,
Rindskopf. Wirth, Conklin and Grif.
fths, are said to have testified before a
congressional committee. that during
lo73-4-5 they were parties to contri-
buttons. amounting to many thousands
OF dollars, to E. W. Keyes for politi-
cal and other purposes. the considera-
ton being that the distiIlers were to
have immunity from punishment for
violation Of the revenue law. Yet ia
the spring Of 1874, at the time when
these virtuous witnesses swear that
these contributions were being made
Reyes wrote letter to commissioner
Douglass calling attention to whisky
frauds. in which occurred the following
passage: ii.8
T" The facts subsequently, developed By
this transaction show the existence of
great conspiracy extending through
out Wisconsin under the leadership Of
Rindskopf Brothers to defraud the
revenue. and that it has been success
fully carried on for a considerable
length of time through the knowledge
and connlvance.of the revenue cficers."
1t the quartette are to be believed.
then it must also be believed that
Reyes, while receiving contributions
for covering up the frauds. was inform
ing the commissioner of internal rev.
enue, in the most emphatic terms. of
those same frauds Is this at all prob
able! Is it not too great tax upon
credulity, even though sworn to by no
less a person than an ex-candidate Of
the democratic party for Congress, an
other distiler and two faithlcss govern
ment officials? As we have heretofore
said, it is not best to put implicit faith

''The editorial in the Chicago Trs-
bune stating that Mr.. Blaine's parents

its reckless falsehood. Mr.. Blaine's
father and mother were from old Penn

war. His father was Presbyterian

and the friends had their party in due

The IMPEACHMENT CAsE.-WAsH-
INGroN, June 20.-The action of the
Senate on tie impeachment case of
Geaeral Belknap yesterday seems to
show clearly that the adjournment of
Congress is yet far in the future, the
contingency being that the session,
with short recess, may last all sum-
mer. 1t decided to 90 on with the
impeachment trial on the 9th of July,
and that it would be illegal to proceed
during the recess of Congress. In
other words, it decides that it cannot
proceed except in the presence of the
House.
The Senate voted down by very
large majority, the proposition to post
pone the trial until next fall. The
House cannot adjourn without the
consent of the Senate. The Senate.
however, should the House pass areso-
luton, may consent to it. thus putting
the responsibility on the House. Il
would seem, however, that both will be
willing to stay in anticipation of and
contingency in the political future. 10
any event, if the impeachment is con-
tinned, it can hardly be disposed of in
less than month or six weeks.
