THEIR RE-ELECTION.
A onastion of Consistency.

Question OF tConsistehcy'
WASHINGTON, May l6.-The theory
which has been advanced that Senators
Platt and Conkling are quite confident
of being returned by the New York
Legislature is very generally accepted,
but in some quarters it is said that on
account OF the Legislature having here
tofore endorsed the nomination OF Rob
ertson to be collector Of the port OF New
York, it cannot consistently endorse the
action OF the two Senators in opposing
il. All sorts OF rumors are afioat regard
ing other designations which Will iol'
low, the Vice President being among
those mentioned in this connection.
There is, however. no apparent iounda-
ton for the reports. Secretary Window
was called to the Executive Mansion
shortly after one o'clock P. M, and has
been there ever since. President Car
field was apprised of the contemplated
resignation early this morning.

ONE EFFECT.

Malone and Riddleberaer to the Rear.
NEW YORK, May l6.-The Posf'
Washington special SAYS: Senators are
greatly excited over the resignation oi
the New York Senators. The question
is, what shall next be donef This SEN
sasional and violent move on the New
York Senator'S part seems to do away
for the present all hope Of electing Re-
publican oHicers of the Senate, and TO
relegate Malone, Gorham and Riddle
berger to the background, as it leaves
the Republicans in the minority for the
time being. IL is said, however, that
a programme has been arranged, and
that the two Senator's are to be immedl-
ately returned. This action by the Sen
ators, therefore, is regarded ~ a step
whereby they can got formal and EN-
phstie justification by the present legis-
lafura

Above the Clouds.

Among the visitors to our city al
present is Mr.. Il. A. Lopez, a resi-
dent Of Lake City, Southwestern
Colorado, not far from the boundary
of New Mexico and Utah. The
locality is exclusively a silver mining
country, 5000 feet above the level Of
this section, and is higher than anyone
Of this vicinity is likely to get, unless
they go up in a balloon. The blast Of
the miner is constantly heard about
Lake City, as it is directly in the
midst of rich silver deposits. The
people there raise nothing in the way
of garden or field products, and all
they live on is purchased by the
pound-1Oc per ID for potatoes, 25c
ditto for fresh apples and other things
in proportion. There are only about
thirty days in the year free from frost,
and residents wagon all they consume
and wear a distance of ffty-fve miles.
1t is an interesting country, and Mr..
Lopez describes it in an entertaining
manner.

SELF.MURDER.
BuckshOttIng Her own Brains

A fearful and horrifying tragedy oc.
CURED on Alabama, near Seventh
street, Fort Pickering, between one
and two o'clock yesterday afternoon,
resulting in the instant death Of Mrs.
Ann Woods, by blowing her own
brains out with a double barrel shot
gun.
The woman was the wife Of Mr..
John Woods, a mechanic employed at
the carriage works of Messrs. Wood
ruff & Oliver on Main street, and had
been married to him for fourteen
years past. Previous to that she was
a widow without children, though she
is said to have had one child by q
former husband. She is also reported
to have been addicted to the use o fmor-
phine or similar drugs, together with
an insatiate appetite for strong drink.
In the neighborhOod of her residence
the gossips have il that the husband
and wife had frequent unhappy wran-
giles, and that the couple were psrtic-
ularly quarrelsome when the woman
INDUCED too freely.
Yesterday afternoon, at the time
mentioned, and, as is supposed, while
in one of her insane fits, Mrs. Woods
prepared to retire to her couch, took
off a part Of her clothing, seated her
self on the edge of her bed, placed the
muzzle ola well loaded shotgun to her
temple, used her foot to pull the trig-
ger and literally tore the whole top Of
her head off, the charge scattering her
brains all over the room.
The report Of the gun was heard by
neighbors, several Of whom quickly
repaired to the house to find the
woman dead. The spectacle presented
within the room was sickening in the
extreme. A jury Of inquest was short
ly afterward organized by Esquire
Spellman, and upon inquiry into the
circumstances, together with the re-
mains on the floor and the spot where
the charge entered the ceiling,
it was determined that the
self-murder was committed as above
described. Mrs. Woods was some
thing over forty years of age. The
husband states that he took the gun
to pieces some days ago and locked it
in his trunk. Mrs. Woods got a
Ratchet and chisel, broke open the
trunk and put the weapon together
unaided. Then she bought caps and
charges to load it with.
Several weeks ago Mrs. Woods
made an attempt to put an end to her
life by fire, and after saturating the
bed and mosquito bar with kerosene,
got into bed with a lighted lamp and
fred the bar. Officer Stewards timely
interference saved her life. She
leaves no children.

JONES' JUMP.
Funny Freak of a Darby Deputy
sheriff.

Last Wednesday evening Henry
Beaumont, an old gray headed, and
respectable colored man, was arrested
at the instance of Dock Jones, the
darky deputy sheriff, on a charge Of
house breaking, and did not get home
until about 2 o'clock next day, when
he was acquitted of the charge. Hegot
a warrant for Jones to-day, whom he
charges with HOUSEKEEPING and the
larceny of $1G.75. His story is told in
a raight-forward way. He says that
he was absent from home on Alabama
street a short time Wednesday noon,
and upon returning saw a horse
hitched in front of his gate and his
front door broken open. Entering he
found Doc in the room, who at once
sprang from the window. The old
man limbered up, beat Doc to the
frontgate, collared him and asked him
what he was about.
I'm an officer" said Dock.
well, eft you's an officer, I've got
a deputy sheriff." said the old man,
and tightening his grip, he started
with his prisoner toward the station
house. Dock begged him to release
him and promised to make it all right
next day. The old man yielded to his
Establishments and allowed him to go,
but before he reached home, was ar
rested and put in Jail.
When he finally got home he found
that $40 rs had been stolen from his
best pants pocket and now wants Dock
to account for it.
