Rebetta Enthoff, an aged German, who
lives with her husband, a teamster, at No 4;
Ivy avenue, made peculiar attempt Satur.
day morning to commit suicide either by
drowning or strapgulation. She was seen to
enter the water at Filmore-street wharf and
deliberately walk out until the water reached
her shoulders. Then she stopped and TIED
around her neck hay rope, which was fas
tened to q stripger of the wharf. In this con
dition, with the water up to her mouth aud
string drawn tight, she was found about 7:3C
o'clock Saturday morning by officers nearly
dead from cold and exhaustion.
Saturday afternoon, about o'clock, as the
workmen on the new City Hall were raising
iron caps which ornament the brick columns
one of the guys holding the derrick parted
it tipped over and the cap fell with q crasf
about ferty feet to the ground. The derrick
fell against the row of iron columns recentl,
| put in place, but as they had been filed witt
concrete they remained stationary, and pro
iecting plank of platform above caught tb'
derrick and prevented it from falling to th'
ground. The castiron cap was dashed into |
thous md pieces, entailing loss of some 500
which will have to be borne by the contractor
who does the hoisting. No one was sericusl.
injured, though several workmen were
bruised by falling brick. Had the iror
columns not been sufficiently stanch t.
withstand the shock. they would have conn
down, bringing with them scaffolding ant
brick in large quantities. and would probabl.
have killed at least half dozen men working
on the wall and in the yard below. Their
