A Sad Case.

The suicide of Martin Arndt at the
Douglas Monument Sunday night re-
vealed one of the saddest cases of mis-
fortune and Encouragement often
brought before the public eye. His
business was pressing linen coats, and
by working ten hours and walking five
miles each day Arndt could earn $3.50
per week. He supported family on
this pittance, and finally, in a moment
of supreme assurance, had the temerity
to ask for half a cent per garment more
than he had been receiving. This re-
quest was granted for one lot, but i'm
mediately afterward another man Of
fered to do the work at the old price,
and Arndt was thereupon discharged.
He tried to get employment elsewhere,
but could not, and believing if he died,
even by his own hand, that his family
would receive several hundred dollars
from a society to which he belonged,
he blew out his brains. 1t is rarely
that more sorrowful case is present
ed, and it suggests, nay compels, the
reflection whether there is not some
thing radically wrong in system that
produces such tragedies. Let those
who are in the habit of spending tens
and hundreds of dollars for the SIM
p}est pleasures think for a moment of
this poor workman-honest, sober, in
dustrious-who struggles on month
after month, AMI who finally comes to
the conclusion that there is no room
for him on this earth because he loses
place worth less than five dollars a
week TO him. We are all accustomed
to rail at fortune more or less, and be-
moan the lack of riches, but how all
idle complaints are hushed into silence
for very shame before this spectacle.
How many more such cases are there in
Chicago to-day?-Chiccgo Iaat,r- Ocean.

The Maine MIDDLE.

At latest accounts the polite al ex-
element at Augusta was atits hight.
The questions propounded to the
State Supreme Court were answered
by that body last Saturday, and in
every case but one adversely to Gov.
Garcelon and his Council. The de-
cisions of the court has created con-
sternation among the fusionists.
The chief pltoter is at hislwits' lends
and his accomp]ices are demoralized.
Enough counted in members of the
lower house have already signiied
their intention of refusing to serve
to break the quorum and it is
thought that by to-day, when the
Legislature meets, but few Of the
counted in members will come for
ward to take their oath. The Pioneer
Press in commenting upon the ans.
wer of the Supreme Court, editorial
ly says:
The supreme court of Maine has
given a prompt and emphatic ans
wer to the cunningly contrived
series Of questions put to it by Gov.
Garcelon, but they are not such ans.
wers as Gov. Garcelon anticipated.
These questions were deliberately de-
vised, SO as to relate solely to purely
technical points of law, and were
framed in such way that Garcelon
and his fusion1st hackers were cheer
fully confident that the supreme
court had no alternative but to affirm
the legality Of their action, which
they assumed to be in each case in
strict and literal conformity with
statutory requirements. But the
court has gone back on Garcelon in
the most summary and awful de-
cisive fashion. The court in fact
puts it's judicial foot on all the fimsy
technical pretexts upon which Gov.
Garcelon and his co.conspirators
undertook to steal the legislature
and state government Of Maine, and
smashes the whole infamous plot to
pieces, provided the conspirators
shall be governed by the adverse ju-
dicial opinion which they have in
voked. The court tells these scoun-
drels-the governor and council-in
plain terms, that thell duty is to as.
certain and declare the will of the
people-and not to resort to strained
technical pretexts to defeat and per-
vert that will; that the purpose Of
the law is to prevent fraud, not to
aid in it's perpetration; that the
people cannot be cheated out of their
choice or the representative-elect of
his rights by the neglect of NUM-
eipal or recording officer or clerk to
perform his duty--and that the wise
provisions Of the statute in Maine,
which permit imperfect records to
be amended, though merely permits
sive in terms, are mandatory in in
tent--was because it was never sup
posed possible that any governor
and council would ever refuse to
perform so plain duty, and much
more to the same effect.

A New Use For Electricity.

The General Omnibus Company
Of Paris has for time past made use
Of electricity for subduing vicious
horses. By the process adopted, in
tractable animals, given to biting.
rearing and kicking, are rendered
inoffensive, and submit peaceably
to be groomed and harnessed. To
obtain this result weak current Of
electricity is passed into the mouth
Of the horse each time it becomes
FESTIVE. The will Of the animal
seems almost annihilated. The cur
rent is produced by a small Undue
ton machine Of the Clarke system,
the wires Of which communicate
with the bit Of the bride, The
employment Of electricity is said to
produce sort of uneasiness or tor
por, rather than pain, and is much
less barbarous than many tamin g
methods heretofore adopted.

The first serious railroad accident
on the river division of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, since
its construction, occurred last Wed.
nesday morning, at Mendoza, near
St. Paul. A sleeper attached to the
Chicago express train was thrown
down an embankment, by the
breaking of steel rail, and fell a
distance of sixty feet, onto ice in the
Mississippi river. The car was
smashed into splinters but, strange
as it may appear, none Of the eight
occupants of the car were killed; al.
though all were more orless injured.
DIR. D. A. Stewart, of Winona.
was seriously injured about the head
and internally. Prof. H. G. Whit
ney, of Faribault, had Il leg badly
smashed, which necessitated ampu.
tation. The porter of the car was
also badly hurt and we understand
he has since died.
