Attempted Suicide.

On Saturday morning last about II
o'clock, Mr.: Walter Benn, who with
his family had been in the city some
weeks, engaged in placing on the stage
at the Opera Hall, The Hot Corn
Girl" but which had not proved a
financial success, was noticed hurrying
along Main street toward the river un-
der considerable excitement. He had
had a "benefit" the night before, and
during the day $50 the story goes) had
remarked to his wife that il it were not
a success financially he would jump
from the bridge, and she, alarmed, had
mentioned his threat. The benefit
was not q success, and Mr.. David
Davis, who was standing in front of
the store at he time, noticing Benn's
manner, and having heard of his threat,
started after him. When Benn had
reached the blacksmith shop at the
south end of the bridge, he threw off
his coat and ran out upon the bridge.
Davis followed aud caught him just as
he had placed his hands on the railing
to make the spring. He managed ouce
to free himself, but was again caught
and held With assistance that came
to hand, Mr.. Davis took him up into
DIR. Davis Office. where opiates were
administered and he was put to sleep.
1t appears that througI an agent ar
rangeInents had been made to bring
out the play under the auspices of the
Murphy Christian Temperance organi
zation of this place. The rehearsals
had progressed some time when
''hitch" occurred, and the moral sup
port of the organization was with
drawn; hence the failure Ito make it
pay" and his being in desperate
strait financially is the reason assigned,
we understand, for the rash act. The
action of the organization in this mat
ter is variously criticised, but generally
regarded as violation of the spirit of
a contract, made after due considera
ton. We understand there is quite
division among them Oh this question
and that several have withdrawn from
the association in consequence.
Since the above was in type We
learn that purse of S25 was made up
for MIR. Benn and family, on Tuesday,
and they were enabled to get to Cineiu-
natl. 1t is said the Murphy organiza
ton will pay the expenses incurred
for boarding, sc.

The Wire Clothes Line Swindle.

Several months ago we exposed the
III ID IS opnrandi of a set of wire clothes
lire swiu,lIers in other parts of the
STATE, iu order 20 put our farmers upon
their guard; but you can't warn a
man hat don't read, or your warning
don't count with ONE who thinks he
sees speculation in the cunningIy de
vised tale of an Operator. Hence,
wi en- the syren called upon Abraham
Gsorgeof Pleasant township, and pro
posed to make him an agent for the sale
of their patent clio thes line wire, and
agreed to give him one hundred feet
free for himself. he signed an agents
contract and was at once installed as
such. A few days afterwards along
came 2250 feet of wire and bill for
2150 feet was soon after presented by a
man known as r. b. Tyler, who pro
fessed to be acting for the party with
whom Mr.. George had made the con-
tract-one j. s. Bingham. The bill
amounted to S107.50, or about six
times as much as the same amount of
similar wire can be purchased for
of hardware dealers, and on Sat
urday last settlement was affect
ed, Mr.. George giving his note
for that amount, payable to the
order of the said J. 8. Bingham.
After Tyler had gone Mr.. George con-
cluded the matter was a swindle, and on
Monday came to town and placed it in
the hands of A. Blackford, Esq. Suit
was entered before D. b. Bes rdsley,
Esq and a warrant was at once Issued.
Tyler arrested, and required to give
bail for trial. He did SO and telegraph
ed to Lima for Bingham, who arrived
on Tuesday. Wednesday morning
Bingham was taken in charge, on a
warrant as one of the principles, and
the trial of both was set for that day.
The matter was finally compromised
by Bingham and Tyler giving up the
note, paying the costs and taking back
! the wire clothes line.
If there is such a thing as bringing
such parties to actual punishment we
think it is high time that something
besides compromising with them was
done. A compromise simply turns
them adrift to renew their operations
and reap their harvest until some one
else with a little nerve picks them up
again The attorneys are employed,
justices and constables get their
fees, the prosecuting witness gets back
his pote, the scallawags get back
their wire or their bed springs, and
law is outraged, justice cheated and
the entire community wroDged. One
positive punishment would do more to
break up such practices than all the
compromises ever made.

SO kind as to hold her baby for her

course he would. She give him the
baby and went to the postoffice-at
