SUICIDE BY LAUDANUM.
Strong Drink and Domestic Trouble the
Cause.

George Mcnamara, a travelling agent for
Stewards paper store on Walnut street be-
low Fourth, was found dead in his bed this
morning at his home, No 1921 Linn street.
A bottle containing about three ounces Of
laudanum was found by his side, showing
that Mcnamara had taken his own life
1t seems that the suicide, who is about
thirty-four years old, lived unhappily with
his wife and two children. His constant
complaint was that the style of their living
was too expensive. Yesterday the question
was again brought up between the husband
and wife, and the latter, to secure peace,
promised to get ready at once to move
to more modest house
Mcnamara, nevertheless, as was his usual
custom, went on a big spree yesterday and
threatened to shoot himself. He showed
the pistol to his wife, who took it away.
He said he would be able to destroy him
self without that weapon, and he succeeded in
doing SO last night by swallowing over an
ounce of laudanum. His corpse was not
discovered until this morning. The bottle
containing the opiate was labeled: "a. L..
Boehmer, apothecary, northwest corner of
Court and Gutter streets.
An inquest will be held tomorrow
morning.

A Mysterious Case,

A child was born in privy yesterday
morning in the rear of No. SO Rittenhouse,
and a short time after the mother was found
in fainting condition on the stairs leading
to her room. The womans name is Mrs
Catherine Brinkmann, and she is a widow
She states that her husband has been dead

Mrs. Probst, midwife living at No. 1S6
Clark street. was summoned to attend Mrs,
Brinkmann. The latter refuses to state
who the father of the child is or what has
been done with the babe
The privy was visited and the dreadful
suspicion Of the child having been thrown
into it accepted as the truth. The Coroner
was notified, and an attempt made las
night to fish the body from the vault, bu
up to noon to-day it had not been found
Great excitement prevails in the neighbor
hood, and every effort will be made to un
rayel the mystery.

THE sWINDLE IN GLASSES.

Now they are at it again. l mean the
saloon-keepers. After making big spread
about reducing beer to 3 cents a glass and
giving schooner for 5 cents, these same
reductionists proceed at once to reduce the
size of the glasses Most of the men who
are making capital of selling at cents a
glass have replaced their glasses with those
holding two ounces less than the former
ones. With the reduced price at which
they get the beer from the brewers, and the
reduced size of the glass the saloon-keeper
will be enabled to make as much off sin
gle glass at cents as he formerly did at 5.
This isn't the square thing People were
made to believe that the price of beer was
to be reduced. The saloon-keeper who re-
sorts to these wiles to make his customers
believe he has reduced, and yet does not do
so, is a swindler. GOPHER.

EFFECT OF THE scHooNERs.

EFFECT OF THE sCHooNERs.
The schooner glass of lager beer has had a
strange effect on certain class of saloon
bummers. They will roughly step into a
saloon and ask the saloon-keeper to hand
them glass of beer, and forthwith bolster
like the dog in the manger, They never
divide the bone with their fellow men, but
put on hummer airs, to the disgust of all
bystanders. The schooner glass of beer has
had contrary effect las is generally sup
posed); it makes a more illiberal feeling
among men in sharing the beverage with
others They often become more selfish in
their nature, and stingy, as the price of beer
is cheapened. But it's no use to try to make
a silken purse out of a sow's ear. BILLY.

Stable Burned.

Between and clock this morning an
alarm of fire was sounded from Box No. 1913,
corner of Grandin and Terrence Roads, The
fire was in the frame stable belonging to
Mr.. Larz Anderson, on the former street.
Before the arrival Of the engines the flames
had gained such headway that the building
could not be saved Another difficulty was
that the Department could get no water to
throw Oh the flames, and consequently
could do no good. The stable was soon
burned down. The horses were saved, but
o quantity of hay and feed being in the
stable, the loss will amount to at least $500.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
