The Sylvester withdrawn.

Our readers will hear with regret
that the popular trips between this
port and Lewes by the steamer John
Sylvester have been discontinued, ow-
ing to the exorbitant demands made
upon the steamer comp any by the
owners of the pier down the river
at which the Sylvester had to land
her passengers. The junction and
Breakwater Railway Company, which
controls the pier in question, demanded
from the managers of the Sylvester
company the sum of twenty cents for
every passenger landed at Lewes, and,
further, that the boat should carry no
freight on its daily excursions. The
price OF tickets for the trip having been
reduced to 80 low figure, the steamer
company found it impossible to accept
these terms, so the excursions we're
abandoned, and last evening the Syl-
vester sailed for New York, from which
port she will hencef9rth make daily
trips to Coney Island. 1t is now pro-
posed to build new pier at Lewes ex-
pressly for the use of the Sylvester next
summer.
The excursion is certainly one of the
most delightful on the river, and on
the basis established this season, the
luxury was within reach of the most
modest purse.

AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE,
A Man Takes . Dose Of g.audan um
In o Glass Of Brandy.


VIM. Hirzsl a cabinet maker working
for VIM. McKsnna, on Second street
near Tatnall, attempted suicide last
night about ten o'clock, in tn. saloon OF
Mr.. Ascbenbach, at No. 227 Tatpail
street, formerly kept by Frederick w.
He'll. Hirzel had some domestic trou--
BILE, and it was while labor ,ng under
the excitement Of this that he purchas-
en- vial Of laudanum. At the time he
walked into the bar room where num-
Der Of men we're drinking, and called
for a glass OF brandy.
The brandy was given him and with
hurried motion HI drew forth tn. vial
and uncorking 1t poured the col tents
Into the glass. The bar tender grab
bed at the glass, but before hs could b-
stopped Hirzsl had swallo we'd the con.
tents. He ran up stairs TO his room
where he was followed by the occnp ,nts
Of the saloon who took hold Of Hi Eel and
bpgan to take speedy measures to pre-
serve his life.
He soon. began to feel stupid and de-
sired to 60 to sleep and II was only
through the greatest exertions that
Hirzel could bs kept awake. In the
meantime physicians were sent for.
About eleven O'Clock, Doctors Maull
and Springer arrived, but they found
that the speedy measures taken by the
occupants Of the saloon had been sue
cessful and that by walking the would
be suicide around, the effects OF the
laudanum had been counteracted.
During the afternoon he said to Mr..
McKenna "I'am going home to bed, and
to-morrow you will hear some news"
Nothing was thought of this until the
announcement OF the mans attempt at
self destruction became public. After
the effects OF the drug had been
worked off Hirzel began rapidly to i'm
prove and this morning he is wholly
recovered. Hirzel has large family
all grown.
He was some years engaged in hus-
mess by himself in one Of the ground
apartments of the REPUBLICAN building
and 1t was while here that his wife
died. Since then his domestic rela-
tionship has not been an enviabls one,
to which fact together with his uncon-
querable love for strong drink may be
attributed this rash act at sslf-destruc-
ton.
