Our informant was wrong yesterday
in stating that South Side lady had
attempted to commit suicide. There
was no attempt at suicide about 1t. The
facts OF the case are as follows: A lady
living in that part OF the city had a child
very sick of the Group, and desiring
some medicine and having no person
about her homo whom she could send,
and not being able to leave the child by
itself, she called an old German and dis.
patched him for the desired article. The
old Germans English was not OF the
best, and in asking for the medicine the
drug clerk misunderstood him and put
paregoric into it. The clerk at the time
thought it was an extraordinary dose,
and Immediately went 10 the lady's
house and made inquiries, when it was
learned that mistake had been made.
Tie proper antidotes were Immediately
administered, and the little child is now
doing well.

as they come in to attend market, ana
purchase their stocks. To the knowl'
edge of our informant this is an every
day occurrence with this class OF mer-
chants. and should be stopped by the
authorities. Their practice is to buy up
all they can lay their hands upon at a
stated figure, raise the price, ane then
offer Il for sale. The injustice OF the
matter Is at once apparent. The citi'
Gems are thereby compelled to pay a
mneh greater rate for things they abso-

this subject is very explicit and heavy
nenalty is attached The sections bear
inc on the matter are as follows:

Knife Thief Captured.

Some time in the latter part OF last
February Messrs. Wheat x Nsylor,
missed number of knives from their
stock, and suspicion at once rested upon
John Johns. Having a slight clue to
work upon, Captain Bennett last even
ing engaged a horse and buggy, and,
taking one Of the firms clerks with him,
drove to Benwood, where Johns was
singled out and arrested. A short time
ago he attempted to sell the stolen goods
to Mr.. ]. K. Naylor, OF Bellaire, father
of the Junior member OF the firm from
whom the goods were stolen. Mr.. Nay
lor identified the knives as belonging to
the firm, and from this clue was OBJ
tanned. Captain Bennett brought his
man to this city and lodged him in Jail.
He will have hearing this morning at
IL o'clock before Squire Wheeler. Great
credit is cue the Captain for the efficient
manner in which he conducted the

A STOLEN RIG
Recovered by the Police-Particulars OF
the Affair,

n6COFcECo W thS St'SS
the Affair,
On last Friday a stranger arrived in
town having in charge horse and bug
CIV, which he offered for sale at such an
extremely low figure that suspicion was
at once aroused that all was not right.
He tried to sell the rig to several parties,
but met with no success until Saturday
morning, when he offered it for sale at
auction at the Second ward market. At
that place he put it in the hands OF Auc-
tioneer Hervey, and that gentleman
sold it 10 Mr.. John Richardson, OF the
Island, the price paid being Sl97, about
one half of its actual value. Mr.. Rich
ardson seemed a little reluctant
in accepting his bargain, and
the stranger offered to deposit the
money in the Commercial Bank for ten
DAYS in order to give Mr.. K. chance 10
satisfy himself that everything was all
right. This proposition was accepted
and the money deposited, but not until
after Mr.. Richardson had given him
S. so TO pay his necessary expenses. he
making very poor mouth. Yesterday
Captain Bennett received a circular
from Messrs. 0zias Barber and j. A.
kohler, OF Akron, describing a horse
and buggy, which had been stolen from
them on the night Of August l6. Alter
reading the circular the Captain became
convinced that the rig sold at the mar
ket was the one he wanted, which upon
examination proved to be true. He at
once telegraphed the gen leman that
their property YVES here, and they replied
that they would come Immediately.
They will probably be here some time
to-day.
The robbery was committed on the
night OF August 10th, and the horse,
harness and fly net were taken from the
barn of Mr.. Barber, at Akron, and the
buggy from that OF Mr.. kohler, OF the
same place. The deed was one OF the
most daring, as the barns were situated
very close to the dwelling houses OF both
gentlemen. The thief when he left took
a draft with him for the balance OF the
money, payable in ten days, but its pay.
ment was stopped yesterday at the bank.
Pity It's that Mr.. Richardson advanced
him any money, as perhaps that would
have prevented his escape. AS it is MIR.

A CURIOUS FREAK
ON HE eAaI of a elksAs SosAa.


Some time last winter German fami.
" by the name of Yonson, consisting oil
man and wife and two children, came
10 thiscity from the Fatherland and TOOK
ND their residence at l45l Alley II. Inc
husband was an industrious, sober man,
and matters went along swlmmlngiy
with the family until last Sunday, when
an element OF discord was introduced
into the household by the arrival oil
Yonson's brother, with wife and SIX
children, from Germany, and their IN
stallation in the homs OF their relative
until such time as other arrangements
could be made.
From the first Mrs. Yonson showed
considerable displeasure toward the
new arrivals, particularly the woman,
and was not 10th TO display her feelings.
Yesterday afternoon she came nome
from a visit to the grocery, and finding
her sister-in.law in the yard washing
and the rear door closed, she HeW into
rage and demanded to know by what
authority the other had taken possession
OF the house, at the same time dashing
open the door and passing through 10
the alley in front.
Nothing was seen or heard Of the en-
RACED woman until about half an hour
after this occurrence, when a lady resid
ing next door discovered her sitting on
the ground in Mr.. Speakers yard, nearly
adjoining, with handkerchief around
her neck, at which she was tuggine
away with ell her might, having a firm
grip on the ends, and gasping tor
breath. The lady made haste to intel
fere, and was just in time to prevent \
fatality, as the woman was nearly gone
and was only restored by the continued
efforts OF the neighboring residents
whose services were called into requisl'
ton 10y the lady who tirs'
discovered the unhappy woman
After this had been accomplished
the woman showed a disposition
to finish the work she had 80 nearly
contaminated, bat was finally induced
to 90 into Mr.. Speakers house and froH
there to her own home. She then re-
NAMED quiet until she again caught
sight OF her sister-in. law, when she flew
into another violent fit OF passion which
lasted until the woman fled from the
room. Since that time the Objectionable
intruder has kept out oithe sight oil hel
furious and unreasonable relative, anc
quiet has reigned in the family.
No cause is assigned for the woman's
actions, but it is presumed that Mrs
Yonson objected to the new arrivals IN
stalling themselves into her home
None OF the parties concerned could
speak a word OF the English language
and it was with difficulty that any OF the
details of the affair were learned.

Seriously Endangered by the Bad Condi-

The city was never in a more I'M

Everyway one turns he finds piles OF
rubbish, stagnant pools OF water, filthy
cutters caused by bsd drainage, and foul
sewers. One case in particular We d, =

above Fourth, the gutter is in an eI-

drainage. A pool Of water is always 10

after standing for time it becomes foul
and breeds disease. The mortality re-
port of July was seventy or more, which
is large increase over July Of the pre-
ceding year, and this comes from no
other causes than filthy cutters.
alleys and streets. Too much precau-
ton in this direction cannot be exer.
cised, as upon the cleanliness OF the
highways and byways depends the lives
OF our citizens. Diphtheria has already
broken out in the locality referred to,
and yesterday little daughter of Mr..
Ziegler. who had but short time ago
fell victim to the dread disease, passed
away. Other cases OF the same disease,
but OF more malignant type, are also
reported, and the sooner this crying
evil is remedied the better. The sick

great at this time, and should this dis.
ease spread the city's mortality would
be alarmingly increased. Have we a

Ii active pursuit OF pleasure or gain,
the inestimable blessing OF health is too
often forgotten until disease is firmly
seated, and the fact only realized by
great bodily and mental suffering. The
Liver is the vulnerable point in most
