DYING BY Her own Hand.

A painful suicide was discovered In
New York on Friday last. Mrs. Mary
Il. Klein, a widow, 81 years Of sge, was
found dead in the kitchen Of her house
in West One. hundred and tweDty-ffth
street.. A long letter that lay near her
exp, essed her determination to take
her own life because che had been ILL
trested by her family, and had been
uDiustly accused Of theft. She had
evidently swallowrd some potent drug,
but the police searched in vain for an
evidence of Its nature. The accusation
that bore 80 heavily on Mrs. Klein's
mind caused Q sensation in Harlem q
week ago. Mrs Emily Byrons, who
lives next door TO Mrs. Klein, found
upon returning from trip to the coun-
try that some thieves had pried of the
scuttle on the roof of her house. en-
tered it and stolen a quantity Of clothes
valu-d at $500. She reported her loss
to the police. A few days after Mrs.
Byrons happened to meet Mrs. Klein's
servant, Mary spieIs, and saw her car
rying q bundle Of clothes which che
recognized as her own stolen property.
The servant WAS followed TO o pawn
brokers' shop, where she endeGvorsd
to pledge the articles In Mrs. ktsin's
name. The gill was arrested and her
mistress house was searched. More Of
the clothes we're found there and Mrs.
Klein was also arrested on the charge
of burglary. Both women were held
in one thousand dollars bail, aud the
examination was Get down for last Sat.
urday. |. was then adjourned until
Friday In order to allow the production
OF witnesses for the prosecution. Mrs.
Klein looked forward to the examination
in court with growing indignation and
fear. In her distress, 1t would seem,
her friends degerted her. The woman,
although OF family moderately well
of, was poor and Appearances were
against her story Of her inrocencs,
which she asserted with vehsmence.
The burden was too heavy for her, and
At the dawn of the day that was to
her disgrace, Gs she thought,
she volu otarily ended her life. When
by the police her body was
still warm, but medical aid came too
ate. A fftfful letter she had written
md addressed to her brother lay by
Ter side.

The political news from the State o
Maine was q surprise to Wall street
and, naturally, had a depressing effec
on the Stock Exchange markets. A ma
jority Of the holders of securities dis
trust the Democratic party on currency
and economic questions, and they con
sequently regard with uneasiness 9
political victory won by that party,
particularly by the aid of such curren-
cy heretics as the Gteenbsokers. They
think that the continuance of the In
crease of business prosperity, based as
it has been upon the sound condition
of the currency since the resumption
Of spscie payments, threatened by the
unexpected streHgth Of unsouud politi-
cal elements az shown in Mondays
lection, and deem it the part of pru-
dence TO be cautious. There was 3
rush to realize all day, which sent pri.
cos down, in some instances, from 2 to
4 nor cent. and the market closed weak
and unsatisfactory.

the Largest General stock OF
WOOIens In America.
The great woolens and cloth goods
house Of Snodgrass, Murray & Co.,
Market and Ninth streets, Phladel
phiG, do not overstGts the facts when
they say they have the largest and
most extensive stock Of woolens AID
cloth fabrics for msn's and boys suits
and ladies' and ohildren's wear offered
in America at retail. Although very
early in the season their store gives
evidence Of very large and active fall
and winter business. Their stock is
now at It's very heighth, representing
productions from the looms Of the best
manufacturers Of the wcrli. In Ameri-
can made fabrics their assortment
embraces all the novel and new things
OF the leading standard makers, while
from abroad they have many styles
that cannot be purchased elsewhere,
including the new fall style sscqueings
and winter cloakings, which are the
handsomest and most varied that have
been shown for years. The new plaids
for circulars, the Tufted Siberian, Rus,
sian Moutonue aud camel hair effects
are all very rich and beautiful.
Some Of the cloths have the fleece
backs in high colors, and are considered
very stylish for circulars, long coats,
&c. The new figured black cloths with
fur backs are entirely new in effect.
One OF the great leaders with this pop
ular house is their superb assortment,
of "a inch blus and other colored cloths
for ladies aud misses fall and winter
suits, at prices ranging from 80 cts. to
81 Is per yard.
In their Mems and Boys department
We will only remark that their stock is
too large ard the assortment too COM
prehensive for use to particularize any
one kind OF goods. They have ties and
piles of cloths of all kinds for Mems
dress, business or working suits and
pants. Boys best and school suits,

A Limit to responsibility Of Oh
GERS OF the Law.

There isa very general impress.
sion that an officer has right to
kill u prisoner who attempts To eS-
cape aud who refuses to obey the
officer when ordered 10 halt. THIS
impression, however, is erroneous.
A case has just been decided by the
supreme court Of Tennessee which
shows that there il a limit 10 the
irrcSpnn-ihilIiy of officers at the
law III the Use of fire arms. III
the Tennessee ease 4 constable WAS
indicted for manolaughtcr tor Kill
ing a prisoner who was III his Gus.
tud,. The prisoner WAS charged
with assault and battery. On the
way To Jail the prisoner started to
run. The constable called 10 him
three times 10 stop. The command
WAS no, ulrNcd. aud the constable
fired two shots from his pistol. one
of which struck the prisoner and
Killed him. The court quoted the
law ~ laid down 10y Bishop rs fol
lows: AN officer having Il prisoner
IN custody for felony who attempts
10 escape. will bc excused iur Kill
lnr him Il he cannot lr otherwise
rriakru: hut il he can he othrrWISr
Trtakrn ~ amy case, without resort
Ia sGch harsh measures, II viii ut
least be- minSlaughtrr to Kill him.
But. in cases where lie person slam
is arrested or held in custody for a
mSdcmranor. and he ilN attempts
tn escape. it will he murder III the
officer to Kill him, although he can
not hc otherwise oNcrtakcn. Yet,
under some circumstances II nay
he only mauslaughtrr If l. appear
that death WAS not intended The
law clearly cnntcmplaics that II Is
better that "A man who is guilty
only al mi>dcIuranor. should hr
allowed To escape, than that he
should be- killed. Although the Su.
pIrmr court at Tennessee WAS per
frrtly satisfied that the constable
acted under the belief that he was
CLEARLY within the law IN shouting
the prisoner, Vet, II held that he
uas guilty at mdnSlaughtrr, and
mast be- punished tor that crime.
Il would be we'll for some oi our
policemen who have shown them
selves To III very, handy with their
