Davenport, Iowa, April 5.-Harry
e. Watt occupied apartments over his
cigar store on Third street, the family
consisting of his wife, their little
daughter Eda, his wife's sisters,
Misses Louisa and Amelia Filter and
an errand boy. Last night visitors
left the house at quarter past eleven
o'clock, and Mr.. and Mrs. Watt soon
retired. Miss Amelia had gone to bed
and her sister was preparing to do so
when she went to the bureau and
drank the contents of q glass, immed-
lately fainting. Mrs. Watt, aroused by
husband followed shortly. after. Miss
Louisa was found in the agonies of
death lying in corner of the room.
Watt ended his life really before
Louisa did, but she fingered only a
mere moment of time after him. 1t is
Enthusiastically proved this evening that
the tragedy was premeditated suicide
1t came out that letter had been
found in Watts pocket addressed to
his wife, and that in this letter he told
the whole story of the deed and the
cause for it. 1t was intended by the
physicians to hold post mortem, but
this the wife forbid after reading the
letter, as there could be no doubt of
the nature of the deed. The fact is
established that Harry c. Watt and
Louisa Filter had loved each other un-
wisely and illicitly, and they had de.
termined to end their troubles mu-
tually with their lives. Prussic acid
was the agent used. Watt preparing
the dose for Louisa and then for him.

found in the room.

Impudence Set Down Upon.

Some time since one of the brightest
and wittiest of Cincinnati's girls
went abroad, and when she. returned
home, about the first person to con-
gratulate her on her safe return was
B, young blood of the city,
whose dollars exceeded his sense in
the ratio of about million to one.
Jaw, Miss "" he said, "permit
me to greet you. 1 know you have
had very pleasant trip abroadw
EYES," she answered, "very pleasant
indeed. 1 was all over the continent
and through England, Scotland and
Ireland"
"Ah, in Ireland, and did you see the
Blarney stone?"
"Yes 1 was there"
"Oh, should delight to see it. 1t
has always been a desire of mine to
kiss that celebrated stone, but have
never had the opportunity"
"Indeed, then you should"
II know, but 1 have not done so,
but why shouldn't I kiss it by proxy =?
You have been there and kissed it,
why should 1 not take the influence
of the Blarney from your lips ?"-and
the smart Aleck stepped forward to
proxify the young lady. But she
drew back and looking him in the
face, said:
II beg your pardon, my dear Mr..
B, but 1 sat upon the Blarney
stone.n
Like man with great sorrow, B
sank down, and he hasn't said "Ire-
land' since, and the word "Blarney"
makes him delirious.

The new double postal card is in a
similar shape 10 the present one cent
card. 1t bears at both upper corners a
one cent stamp, and lines are drawn
from the centre sloping downward to
each lower corner, to be written upon,
the writer of the card uses the left
hand side in writing his reply. The
double letter envelop is stamped twice; /;
and the sender uses the right and the
receiver uses the left hand side in
writing the address. At. the back of
this envelop is a double gummed flap,
divided by perforated line. The
lower one is used for sealing by the
sender and the receiver uses his knife
along the perforated line and has new
gummed flap ready for use. The letter
sheet envelopes is designed to do away
with the outer envelopes. Its patentee
claims great merit for it for the reason
that it often occurs that the date at
which writing has been mailed cam
not be ascertained because the envelope
has been lost. Here the letter and the
envelope are one. The new law does
not direct the Postmaster General to
issue these patented conveniences. 1t
only gives him the discretion to do so.
They should come into general use.

Lately, while travelling menag-
erie was being exhibited at a village in
Thuringia, the leopard tore the bars
from his cage, and with magnificent
bound landed among the spectators.
He killed woman and a child, and
the sight of blood excited him to such
a degree that he would not relinquish
his prey until beaten to death. Ex-
animation proved that the bars of the
cage had be previously loosened, and
an employee discharged for drunken
ness has been arrested.

Horse Thief Captured.

Quite a commotion was created in
Ridgway last Tuesday afternoon by
the return of horse thief in company
with his captors. Sunday night a
white mars was stolen from the stable
of Soloman Stahlman, near Green
vile, Clarion county. A man had
applied for work the day before,
and suspicion at once fastened on him
as the probable thief. Mr.. Stahlman
offered a reward of $25 for his arrest.
A party of men from near Green
vile, consisting of Samuel Bard,
Robt. Allison and John Smith, struck
the trail of the thief, following it into
Milestone township, Elk county.
The trail was followed with varied
success all day Monday, Mr.. Thief try
ing to take off across the country in
the direction of Marionville, Forest
county, but was prevented by the snow,
and finally took the main road direct
through Ridgway, passing this place
early Tuesday morning, and going to
st. Mary's via the state road, where
he was arrested about a mile east of
the latter place near KauPs mill,
Mr.. r. NJ. Painter, of Milestone town.
ship, who joined the party at this
place being the first man to lay hands
on the thief; Robt. Allison, John
Smith, and Daniel Cannavan, of
this place, and the constable of st.
Mary's borough, assisting to surround
the man. The thief gave the name
of Miller, and is the same coon who
sold horse to the Ross Brothers few
weeks ago, and at the time jumped
board bill of $50 at the Thayer house.
He spent Tuesday night in Jail, being
taken down the creek Wednesday
morning on his journey to the Clarion
Co., Jail. His pocket book contained
about three dollars in money, which he
would have raised to respectable
amount had he succeeded in selling
the gray mare which was beautiful
looking beast, speaking we'll for his
judgment of horse-iesh.

DR.. Manouvrieg, q French physician

DIR. ManOuvrleg, french physician,
has published some novel observations
on a disease peculiar to bank clerks.
1t has been repeatedly noticed for
years that bankers clerks, after having
handled for some days in succession
large quantities of silver five franc
pieces, suffer from disorders of the re-
spiratory and digestive organs. These
have been ascribed to a dark-greenish
metallic dust, which is raised by TAX
ing the coins from the bags where they
are generally kept, weighing them,
and putting them back. This dust i'm
pregnates the atmosphere of the room,
blackens the skin, and penetrates into
the respiratory and digestive tracts to-
gether with the air and saliva. 1t the
years 1872 and 1874, when the money
which had been paid by France to
Prussia as a tribute was returned to
France through mercantile transac-
tions, the clerks spent an unusually
long time in handling the coins, which
had not been taken out of their bags
for some years, and the affection was
more marked than ever. Owing to
the peculiar circumstances under which
this affection has been observed, there
can be no doubt as to its being due
partly to the copper (verdigris), and
partly to the oXidized state of the
silver; both metals are used in the
coinage of the five franc pieces in the
proportion of nine-tenths Of silver and
one-tenth of copper.

There was outrageous fraud in a
Philadelphia pie-eating match. The
contestants were three in number, and
one of the largest of the variety
theatres was crowded with spectators.
Three pies were placed on a table, on the
stage, and the referee said, Ready
go.n Each man grabbed a pie, and
shut his mouth on about quarter of
its surface; but there was no swallow
ing, for the pie was filled with leather,
straw, and nails.

DIR. William Parker sums up his
views on the temperance question IN
five conclusions: First There Is
wide distinction, which ought to be
recognized by temperance reformers,b be-
tween fermented and distilled liquors.
In fermented liquor alcohol is found
in its natural chemical combination;
in distilled liquor it is found pure and
simple. In the one case it may be en-
ployed in diet and for nourishment;
in the other case it is to be regarded
only as medicine, and as dangerous
one, to be used only with caution. Fer
mented liquors include ale, beer, cider,
and the various wines. Second-If
men would use pure fermented liquors
in moderate quantities, as cOndiment,
and only in connection with their
meals, the use need not be harmful,
and at least in case of those past the
middle life might be beneficial. There
fore the State ought to license only real
inns, and for the sale of fermented
liquors alone. Third-TOtal abstinence
is good thing for everybody, because
the use of even fermented liquors is
dangerous, in that in some individuals,
especially in those who inherit a ten
dency to inebriety, it creates or
awakens an appetite for drink, and
healthy persons do not need them.
Fourth-Distilled liquors are deadly.
Their use is productive of more disease.
physical, mental, and moral, than that
of any other known agent, and pro-
duces an immeasurably greater num-
ber of untimely deaths. Fifth-Dis-
titled liquor is an indispensable medi-
cine, but its sale should be confined to
drug stores, and on the prescription of
a physician.

The novel sight was presented in
the Texas Legislature, a week or two
ago of a member of that body speak
ing in Spanish in advocacy of bill
the payment of poll tax pre-
requisite to voting. His argument,
which most of the body understood
although uttered in foreign tongue,
was that at the last election over one
thousand Mexicans had crossed over
and voted in Texas. The Spanish
must have been persuasive, as the bill
passed the lower house.
