A German Noble Commit. suicide.

Chicago, June 15.-This afternoon
about four O'Clock a gentleman walking
on Pine street was Mortified to find at
at the base of the water works tower
the body Of a man, with his head
jammed into the ground nearly a foot
and his neck broken. He gave an
alarm and crowd quickly gathered.
While they were wondering and specu-
lating upon the sickening sight, Ger
man named Victor Gargelin rushed
out from the tower and, pale with
fright, told the following story. In the
afternoon he had come across the de-
ceased, who gave him his name as Hugo
Van Malapert, and who said he was a
shipping clerk for a firm at 176 East
Adams street. Malapert proposed that
they take a walk up the tower, which.
they did; as they were coming down,
and had made about one-third of the
distance, Malapert said he had left his
handkerchief at the top, and went
back, while he (Gangelin) waited. He
was gone SO long that Gangelin became
alarmed and reascended the stairs, but
finding no signs Of him he quickly ran
down, and found that Malapert had
jumped from the top of the tower, 100
feet, to the, ground, and lay dead on
the grass at the foot of the tower.
The suicide caused but little stir at
FIRST, but it was soon learned that
Malapert was connected with one Of
the oldest and noblest families of Ger
many, that his family name was Neu-
vile, that his father is the chamberlain
to the present emperor and that his
brother is now compagnon du voyage
with one of the emperor's sons on the
steamer Prlmerose Edelburg, which is
making trip around the world on the
Pacific water; that he although only 25
years old, has been an officer in the Ger
man army. Letters in German and
documents Of character to establish his
high connection were found on his per-
son. In the pocket Of his coat were
two photographs of German army off,
Ger, one bearing the name of Fritz Won
Malapert, the other Baron Won Mala-
pert. These were taken in Frankfurt
on the Main. He has been in this
country 2 years and in Chicago l8
months, since which time he has been
in the employ of Black & Arstein, 176
east Adams street. He had been in
rather reduced circumstances and ow-
ing some money. His employers consid-
cred him sober, Industrious, respon-
sible man. He wrote recently to his
home in Germany asking for $4,000,
which he was expecting through the
German consul here. He called on the
consul this morning but found nothing.
He had a little quarrel with his employ
ers later in the day and after writing
them note, which was found on his
body, telling them he intended to COM
NIT suicide, he deliberately set out and
accomplished the wild deed.

witness construed to mean Bradley
was now voting to please some Grant
man in his district. and would finally
vote for Depew. He didn't know that
Barber, with whom he had several
talks in Woodin's room, was in pay of
the Central railroad and never heard
anything of the Central railroad in his
room. Had seen several games of
cards played in his room for 25 cents

Depew in Barber's room since May

Tne Attest OF TnOmae cunningham.
New York, June 16.-A Herald's
Dublin special says: The arrest of
Thomas Cunningham in Longhrea,
county Galway, attracts considerable
attention. He has acted for some time
as local newspaper correspondent and
many of the alarming outrages and
threatening notices were solely due to
his inventive genius. The exploit
which brought him into trouble was a
telegram stating that an attempt had
been made to assassinate the Hon. M.
DAILY, Lord Dunsandle's son. The
charge against him is melting to
murder two other men, one of whom is
the secretary of the local league branch.

Imagine from riding along in the cars, though
in some places 1t Is rolling. In travelling over
the vast prairies, as far as the eye could reach
observed great fields of corn yet standing on the
stalk. Being accustomed to different mode of
farming in Maryland, thought the corn should
have been cut and husked month or more be-
fore this time. found that these fields of corn
are neither cut nor husked by manual labor, but
by hogs, cattle and sheep. Herding stock seems
to be the chief business in this far western coun-
try, by which many obtain their living. Many
sheep are also herded, but there is one adyar-
tage a cattle herder has over one who herds
sheep. There arc great many wolves in this
country, and they can not easily damage herd
of cattle, but they can destroy number of sheep
in short time. Notwithstanding this draw
back the sheep herder realizes his earnings with
less labor than the cattle herder.

PILFERING EXTRAORDINARY.
Mr.. Orion Michaers bells were among those
stolen during the exercises of our recent Sunday
school anniversary. On the same horse, and
much convenient to take, were Rev. J. w.
Steele's bells, which were left. Evidently the
thieves have better opinion of preachers than
Sara Bernhard has. Our good people are hor-
rited at these thefts, as such depredations are
uncommon in our neghborhood. 1t is univer-
sally conceded that the thieves came from dis
lance, and that the stolen bells are now jung
ling in u remote part of the county.
ROLL IN THE SNOW.
While young lady and gentleman were re-
turning home from the anniversary, the sleigh
either ran into snow drift into ditch or both,
which upset the sleigh and rolled the occupants
against the fence. The horse also was thrown
down but all were soon righted and with the cX-
ceptlon ola few sleight bruises no harm was done.
However, it is better to drive with both hands.

DEATH OF Mr.. DAVID G. McCoY.-Mr. David
G. Mccoy, one of the Oldest and best known citi
zer of Dublin district, died at his home, near
Broad Creek, last Saturday, in the 91st year of
his age. Mr.. Mccoy was born in Hartford coun
ty, but removed to Baltimore city, when young
man, and was successfully engaged in business
there for time. He afterwards returned to
Hartford, where he became noted as skillful far
mer The only public offices he ever held were
those of County Commissioner and School
Commissioner. He was exceedingly kind
hearted and charitable, his charities being be-
slowed i'll an unostentatious way SO that very
few knew their extent or their objects. 1t is re-
lated of him that on one occasion, while endea-
voring to collect some money due him, he met
with abuse from the delinquent debtors He
went at once to a magistrate and had summons
issued against them. The next morning. before
sunrise, he was at the magistrates office and
countcrmanded the order, saying that perhaps
they could not pay their debts, and it would
be pity to distress them. Mr. Mccoy was
member of the Friends society, and was buried
at Broad Creek Friends Meeting House, on
Monday. The respect and regard in which he
was held were evident from the large numbers
of persons who attended his funeral. Mr. Nc
Coy's only surviving children are his two sons

o'clock, dwelling house. situated on the Bel
Air and Churchville road near Schucks Corner,
and occupied by David Carman and his family,
caught fire and was burned to the ground. The
fire originated in the second story, from a
defective tue. The family were in the lower
story, and the first intimaton they had that the
house was on fire was the report of gun, which
stood loaded in an upper room, and which was
discharged when the fire reached it. Upon
going to the stairway the whole of the upper
portion of the house was found in a blaze and
the stairway nearly consumed. None of the fur
niture could be saved A trunk, belonging to
Miss Octavia Sitter, daughter of Mrs. Carman,
