HAWKINS CASE.
STILL IN sTATU QUo-THE CHARGES To
BE PREFERRED IN WRITING.

bIILb in bTATU QUO-TAE ChAhGES TO
BE PREFERRED IN WRITING.
Letter-carrier James L. Hawkins,
accompanied by Messrs. Febiger, Bird
and Cannon, returned from Washing
ton, last night, after what they termed
"a very pleasant interview" with First
Assistant Postmaster General Tyner.
They laid their case before him, repre-
sented Hawkins efficiency as letter
carrier, and claimed that personal and
political feuds should not be permitted
to operate against him in his official
capacity.
Hawkins says Gen. Tyneris pleas
ant gentleman and strong Republi-
can. Possibly he regards this as a
point in his favor.
1t is probable no definite action will
be taken in this case for several days.
Postmaster Pyle's charges were made
verbally, and will have to be present
ed in writing before they will be con-
sidered.
Meanwhile Hawkins remains sus-
pended, and his route is being effici-
emily served by Thomas s. Pugh, the
regular substitute.

YOUNG MARRIED WOMAN At
TEMPTs SUICIDE, BUT is PRE-
VENTED BY OFFICER THOMAS.
The neighborhood of Front and
Poplar streets was thrown into quite
an excitement, yesterday afternoon,
over report that a young married
woman had attempted suicide.
The would-be suicide is the wife
OF Martin Reynolds, who boards
with his mother-in-law, Mrs. Kelly.
No. 300 E. Front street. The cause
Tor the attempted rash act is not
definitely known, some saying that
1t is on account of family troubles,
while others are quite as positive
That the young woman is out of her
mind to certain extent.
Early in the afternoon she sent a.
little girl to Hartman's drug store
for a quantity of laudanum. Her
mother suspecting that all was not
right waited for the return of the lit
tie girl, and before she had reached
the house she had gained possession
OF the bottle containing the deadly
drug.
Not to be thwarted in her efforts
to shuttle off this mortal coil, the
young woman later in the afternoon
left the house and went to Dan
forth's drug store, and purchased
twenty cents worth of the poison.
After she had made the purchase,
she returned to her home for the
purpose of drinking it. Her mother
becoming alarmed at her daughter s
determination to die, went to the
front door for the purpose of calling
in some of the neighbors. AS she
gained the door she noticed officer
Thomas standing at the corner of
Front and Walnut streets, and i'm
mediately began in wild manner
beckoning him to hasten to her.
The officer responded as quickly as
possible, and upon arriving at the
house Mrs. Kelly informed him of
what she suspected.
Officer Thomas went into the
house, but not finding the young
woman he continued ON out into the
yard. Here he found her, and not a
moment too soon, as she was Just
placing the bottle to her lips pre-
paratory to drinking its contents.
In moment officer Thomas had
possession of il, and the would-be
suicides life was saved for the time
being. AS she is very determined
in her efforts to die, it may be that
her next effort will prove successful.

There does not seem to be, as we
read in our exchanges, much enthu-

were perverted to the selfish purposes
of designing politicians, who succeed

ANNUAL GATHERING.

The annual gaihering, or, as It might
be more aptly termed, the reunion of the
LYMAN family, takes place to-day. The
reunion is held on the farm of Thorn as

For number of years no one but the
Lynams attended the reunions, but of
late years invitations have been extend
ed, until the reunions now embrace
large number of persons who are in no
way connected with the family. The
Lyman fishing club went out last night
and set a net in White Clay creek which
was to be hauled in this morning. The
fish will be cleaned and cooked on the
ground, and eaten by those In attend

FORTY ACRES AND A MULE.


About this time look out for some
good, reliable battle cries something
exactly to the taste, easy to utter and
easier to remember. There is nothing
yet 80 good as the old cry of "Forty
Acres and Mule" which helped the
republicans SO wonderfully i'll the
Southern States in '6S and '72, be-
cause thot indicated something that
the shouters expected to get if their
side won, and consequently it could be
trusted to pop up clear and distinct in
individual minds that might be in
helpless muddle Of principles and pre-
cedents still, the hope of getting the
public offices will be worth almost as
much to the democrats, when they ex-
press it in proper shouting shape.
"Fraudo is a good word, but too bad
ly worn % last through long cam
paign besides it neither promises nor
frightens. On the republican side the
campaign cries cannot promise much,
for there is little left to promise, but
in scares the party bids fair to be
strong. "Rebel war claims" threatens
to be the biggest of these. Already
some of the party newspapers have
estimated editorially the kinds and
quantities of Southern claims that are
going to be pressed when the Execu-
tive, as we'll as Congress, is democrat
ic, and it will require only little of
that prophetic instinct that party feel
ing so marvellously stimulates to in
clude all the Confederate debt of every
description, remuneration for all the
slaves freed and the redeeming of Con
federate currency on the basis of dol
lar for dollar at every government de-
pository. Indeed, letters suggesting
this sort of scare have already appear
ed in republican journals, and it does
not take long for improved political
machinery to turn mere suggestion
into reliable news. True, there will
be no more sense in such campaign
cry than there was in "Forty Acres
and Mule" but sense is the last
thing to be thought of in the getting
up of battle cry of freedom.-N. T..
