REFINEMENT IN SUICiDE.-Countess We
"a Koscheleff recently disappeared from her
palace in Moscow after her solemn betrothal
to Court Hermann. Her steward received a
letter from her, written at her chateau in the
Crimea, stating that she was going to battle
in the river running through her estate and
would not return alive. She described the
spot where her body would be found, and a
search resulted in the discovery of her corpse
sewed up in a large straw sack and sunk in
the river. The seams were in the interior
of the sack, showing that she had sewed
herself up in it and then cast herself
into the stream. In another letter sent to
one of her uncles she gave as reason for
inclosing herself in sack her extreme fear
of crawfish and water beetles.

The Striking Glass Workers.

PITTSBURGH, August 9.-During the
week another effort has been made to
end the troubles between the fint1glass
manufacturers and their employees.
This trouble has existed since last No.
vember, and has been one Of the most
disastrous strikes to all concerned in the
history OF the glass trade. The over
lures mentioned came from the Flint
Glass Workers Union, and were in the
shape Of a proposition TO the Manu-
factursrs Association 10 meet q
conference committee from the Union
10 arrange for basis OF wages and rates
that would be acceptable TO all parties,
and would equalize the wages in sll the
factories. One Of the most prominent
members Of the Union informed the re-
porter this morning, however, that the
manufacturers had rejected their propo-
sition, saving that they would not con-
fer with them as an organized body, but
that the individual firms would treat
with their old employees any time they
wished 10 have a conference. This re
ply has made the strikers feel very bit
ter, and they stated this morning that
they would make no further efforts to-
ward effecting a settlement, but would
seek employment in other parts OF the
country.

and reflection have renewed confidence
IN the stability OF the banks, and the
effect of the City and District Savings
bank Keeping open until late hour
in the evening until every one in at

great measure To the present quiet. The
doors were thrown open this morning
at 9 o'clock, an hour before the usual
time. About fifty people were in wait
ing and their demands were promptly
met. The run continued in a modified
form till IL o'clock. At noon
there were not a dozen persons
at the counter, most OF whom
were returning to the bank money
they had Withdrawn yesterday. The
aggregate amount disburScd TO deposit
ors up To closing hour last evening was
$3.50, 900. 1t is now evident that the
bank has surmounted the difficulty.
The Vile Marie Bank is still closed, but
the officers say they will reopen in a
few DAYS, when a sufficient amount Is
realized from the securities to meet all
demands. There is a moderate run on
the HOchelaja Bank, but the directors
assert that They will have no difficulty in
meeting the requirements. There is 4
much better feeling all round, and only
the banks which had for considerable
time lost public confidence have sue
cumbed. Business, which was COM
