Determined Attempt at suicide.

Samuel Kicker, prisoner at the jail, made
determined effort to put an end to his aban-
doned life by cutting his throat yesterday
morning. The turnkey was engaged in letting
the prisoners out of the cells to go out to the
wash room when Kicker was missed from the
number. Upon going to the water closet he
was found apparently trying to cut his boot
strap Closer scruting however revealed the
fact that he had cut his throat from ear to ear
and was trying to reach the large artery in the
calf of his leg. A surgeon was called by
Sheriff Dresser and the wound carefully dreg-
sed. The wind pipe was cut clear off and the
iugular vein could be seen pulsating very
plainly. The injury to his leg is also quite
severe and from the two wounds he lost a
great deal of blood. 1t is doubtful if he
RECEIVERS He has family living on Grove
street.
Kicker was in Jail waiting for his trial at the
present term of the Superior Court. He was
bound over for numerous larcenies in this
vicinity. Soon after his Imprisonment he
signifed willingness to go into the work
shop and was allowed to do so. One day IS
work however was sufficient and since that time
he has refused to work and has spent his time
lying in his cell in a respondent mood. The day
before yesterday he tried to borrow razor to
shave himself he said, but he failed to be &C.
commodated. He then canvassed his wing for
jackknife and some one lent him the substi.
tute for one which he tried to cut his throat
with. There was only a stub of a blade not
more than an inch long aud it was so dull that
his work mus; have been very painful. AS
all weapons are refused the prisoners the knife
must have been Struggled into the jail in a
| very quiet way.

State VS.. David Miranda. Complaint for keepipg
an open shop on the Lords day.
The respondent keeps cigar and tobacco store,
and is jew. The testimony was substantially the
same as was given before the Municipal Court which
We have already published.
The defendant testified that he was Jew and
conscientiousy believed that the seventh day of the
week ought TO be observed as the Sabbath and that
he so observed it, that in keeping his shop open on
Sunday he did not disturb other persons He claimed
that he had right to keep his shop open on Sunday
by the provisions of section % of chap 1874 of the
Revised Statutes which reads as follows:
No person, conscientiously believing that the
seventh day of the week ought to be observed as the
Sabbath, and actually refraning from secular BUSH
and labor On that day, shall be liable to said
penalties for doing such business or labor on the
first day OF the week, If he does not disturb other
persons"
But the court ruled that, although the exemption
gives such person is referred to in the above Sec
ton right to work for himself on Sunday it did not
give him the right to keep his chop open tor the
transaction of business with the public; that keeping
open shop in itself solicitation to do business and
thus invitation to commit acts which the legisa.
tue has treated violations of the day; that while
those who, for conscientious reasons, observe the
seventh day of the week the Sabbath may do bust
perform labor which does not interfere with
others, they are not entitled by keeping open theil
shops to invite the violation of the provisions of the
act, if their ordinary business is shop-keeping
The verdict guilty. The respondent will file ex-
ceptions.
Robinson fol State. Knowltons for respondent.
All the criminal appeals having been disposed Of
the traverse jures were excused until Tuesday after
noon next at which time the grand jury will have
reported and trials upon indictments will begin.

Richmond.

Several years ago the town voted to pay the
stockholders of the Richmond Factory Asso-
citation three per cent. on their stock and short
ly after reconsidered that vote, refusing to
sustain it. At the town meeting this year an
article to see If the town would now consent to
pay the three per cent was voted down, and at
subsequent meeting reconsideration was
refused. This appears to have hurt the feel
ings of some Of the stockholders, for they have
petitioned the court for an Injunction to
restrain the town from paying the $500 appro-
priated to enable the Farmers and Mechanics
Club to erect building in which to hold the
town fair-an action that it seems to US would
make rather a doubtful experiment of any
further attempt to raise the aforesaid three per
cent, the refusal to vote for which they hold
the farmers responsible. PEN.
