Suicide.

Fred. Buck, German cigar maker, about
forty years old, and living with his wife
and children at the corner of Race and
Findlay streets, committed suicide yester-
day evening.
He had been suffering recently from Sc
we're attack of rheumatism, and the pains
being so great as to be almost unbearable,
he resolved to end his life. About o clock
in the afternoon he took strong dose of
paris-green. Dr. Binder was called in, but
found the man dead. This was about half
an hour before midnight TIE Coroner was
notified, and had the body removed to Ha-
big's undertaking establishment on Sixth
street, the family being in too reduced cir.
cumstances to bury him. An inquest was
ordered.

proof, and James, the colored cook, were
prostrated yesterday. The disease is called
yellow fever, but does not yield to yellow
fever or malarial fever treatment. Not
single victim has so far recovered.
The suffering in Grenada has not been all
physical, nor has the physical exceeded the
mental. Imagine sick son and brother
urging his mother and sisters to leave him
to his fate and to flee for their lives. I'M
agine wife urging the same thing to her
husband. Picture in your mind homes OF
culture and refinement turned into hos
pitals, with everything forgotten but one
! all-pervading, heart-rending question,
ooh, my loved one, what can do for you"'
and throughout the whole town nothing is
! TO be seen but faces blanched with fear and
forms bowed with anguish. The city at
night presents an entirely deserted appear
ance, not a soul to be seen on the streets.
In the East Ward only twenty-one whites,
men and women, remain, of whom eight
are prostrated.
NrT YORK. Aug. 24-It was rumored yes
terday that the wife aiiI children OF J9nn 1
e. Leet, the insane Potter witness, mao
died of yellow fever at New Orleans
New ORLEANS Aug. 24.-The Times yes
terday evening says: 1t is very gratifying
to observe the promptness with which the
people all over the country are contributing
to the aid and relief of the sick in the South.
The fact testifes to the existence of kindly
and fraternal feeling far more eloquently
than any words could do. As the country
emerges from calamity the memory OF the
affection and solicitude and good deeds with
which it was illumined goes to swell the
tide of reunion which is now steadily fill
ing the old abandoned channels. There is
some compensation even in our misfor
tunes
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The Commissary
General, by direction of Secretary McCrary
to-day ordered that five thousand rations be
sent to Grenada for the yellow fever suffer
ers. He had previously ordered forty thou
sand rations to be issued to Memphis.

SOME ADVERTISING SHOWN UP.
The dispatch published in the newspapers
of the New York Associated Press, under
date of Paris, August 4th, alleging that
Switzerland has received grand diploma
of honor at the Exhibition for watches,
also nine gold medals" proves upon in
vestigation to have been little more than
an advertisement for the Swiss watches,
and is greatly at variance with the spirit OF
the facts, as will be seen by the official an
nouncement that the distribution of awards
will not be made by the Exhibition Judges
until after the 18th of September. The dis
patch was evidently intended to give the
impression that Switzerland had beaten all
competitors The fact is, that no individual
or firm of any foreign nation will receive
higher prizes than American exhibitors.
Is it not about time that promiscuous ad-
vertising through the New York Associated
Press, and especially to the detriment Of
American manufacturers, was stopped2

SIX Crooked Clerks and an Ex-COr-
OMer.
National Associated Press to the Star.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug N.-Chief Engineer
McFadden, of the Water Department, has
sworn out warrants for the arrest of six of
his clerks charging them with embezzle-
ment at various times during the past five
years of sums aggregating 81 800. The war
rant charges them not only with embez2ie-
ment but forgery and failure to enter upon
the books sums paid to them for water rents
The duty of these clerks was to enter upon
the books of the Department receipts for
water rents All entries generally passed
through their hands, SO that in one year
they have the handling of $1,000, 900 in
money. 1t is thought that the Chief hav-
ing made this exposure Others will follow,
as there has been for some time consider
able unexplained crookedness in this De-
partment
Following these exposures came another
| in the shape of the arrest of Ex-Coroner
