been called. n. & Fl. B. Cleaves appear in

The Suicide of Mrs. Studlav.

The Boston Herald says that Mrs. Studley,
the lady who committed suicide by jumping
from the steamer Katahdin, left birmingham
on the Boston bound train quite unexpectedly
Thursday afternoon, and her friends, not
knowing of her disappearance until after she
had gone, felt considerably alarmed about he r,
so much so that it was feared she would not re-
turn promptly. Thursday afternoon, in the
house which she had leased of Mr.. 1. Sumner
Wheeler at birmingham Centre, was found a
letter written by Mrs. Studley and intended
for Mr.. Wheeler and his wife, in which the
impression was conveyed that she had
thoughts of suicide in her mind, and that they
would be carried into execution soon; also that
she was deranged, as had also been her father
and mother. 1t is thought the fact of Mrs.
Studley having divorced husband, whom she
married after an acquaintance of only few
weeks may in some measure have been re-
spOnsible tor her rash act.

Clean Streets.


While the newspapers of New York, Chica-
go and other cities are filled with complaints
against the filthy condition Of the streets of
those cities, it is fact patent to all that siren
uous exertions are being made by the Street
Commissioner to keep clean the streets of this
city, especially in the business portions. To
that end it is suggested that the numerous
storekeepers and others on Congress. Middle
and Exchange streets, cease sweeping the dirt
from their places of business into the streets,
and that an ordinance to that effect be passed
at the next meeting of the City Government,
and that instead, such dirt and filth be put in
to boxes or other receptacles and be brought
out to be emptied once or twice week. Such
has been the practice for years in Boston, and
probably no city in the Union has cleaner or
better kept streets. 1t is understood that the
Street Commissioner favors this plan and will
willingly collect the dirt, which can be readily
done when cleaning the streets.

1t lie not by any means certain that the Board Of
Aldermen will not be organized to-day. II 1t ~
done it is likely that it will be accomplished by
members staying away 1t is held by many that a
majority of the members present elect the Presi-
dent. Should this idea be acted upon 1t Is Tery
iory Of the votes cast 1t known that the friends
of the Mayor can muster at least ten Notes.-The lrv
ing Hall votes and fOnr of those generally credited to
Tammany Hail. Aldermen Slevln. Z. Kenney aud
Kirk Wilt continue to vote for Alderman Sduer. and
the latter will remain in the field until he or somo
one else is chosen. Nothing positively has been de-
termined upon, and the majority NAV settle upon
Alderman Keenan, but the indications were yeser-
day that Alderman McAvOy was likely to be the fa-
vored one, if the proposed scheme were carried
