An Accidental Life-PreSerVer.

The suicidal mania which has been so
prevalent since last Sunday does not
seem to have subsidized, and almost
every day this week some dcspondent
individual has shutlled off the mortal
coil. Yesterday morning, about 8:20
o'clock, something of a sensation was
caused on the bridge by the singular
actions of Il man, who at the time was
a perfect stranger to those who were
watching him. At the hour mentioned
he quietly sauntered out on the bridge
as far as the middle arch There he
stood quietly until no one was near,
when suddenly he swung himself upon
the railing and sat thus for a few mo-
ments, with his legs dangling over the
water While perched on the railing
he took piece of twine from his pocket
and deliberately tied his legs together.
He then slid down to the extreme edge
of the plank walk, stood quietly for a
moment and gazed calmly around him.
BY this time the man 5 intentions were
plain to those who were watching him.
Several men, among others Watchman
Foley, of the bridge, rushed toward the
man, but just rs they got within reach
shot down like an arrow, creft the
water and disappeared. Foley had
grasped the mans hat, which remained
in his hand. The engineers OF
two bridge engines crossing the
bridge at the time, set up deatening
whiStling, which attracted the attention
of nearly everybody on the leyee and
brought crowds to the water edge. The
man was not under water long, but soon
reappeared to the surface. From his
actions il was evident that he was max
ING frantic but unsuccessful efforts TO
keep under water. The very means he
took to insure success proved to be his
preservation, as in tying tightly the legs
of his pantaloons. he had imprisoned
large quantity of air which made fair
life preserver. Captain j. NJ. keitleine
started to the rescue with his tug. the
Alice Parker Several floats and lines
were thrown out to the supposed drown
inc man, but he >tubhornly refused to
make use of them. Finally. losing pa
tience, Captain keitieine took a Crap
pling hook. and by q skillful throw
caught it firmly in the seat Of the man :
pantalo0ns. He was pulled on board
the TUG and then taken 10 the engine
room, where everything was done TO
make him comfortable. The man was
very indignant and protested vigorously
against his rescue. He struggled des-
peratelv to return 10 the water, and i
required the united force OF three men
to restrain him. He was taken 10 the
Chestnut street station. where he gave
his name as Edward Murray, and
claimed 10 have come here only two
DAYS ago from California. The only
reason he gave for the rash at was tha.
he was sick. Murray was >ent 10 tho

Murder at Remove.

The following account OF murder at
Remove, Clinton county, is given by a cor
respondent of the Clinton Demoerot in its
last issue:
"What was probably the most dsstardly
murder ever committed in this section of
the State was the killing OF Thomas Miller,
a yeung Englshman, by Gustave Pipher,
Prussian, on the fiat west Of School
House Run, short distance above Remove,
on Saturday evening shortly after eight
o'clock. 1t appears that Miller and Pipher,
who were miners employed by the Remove
Coal Company, and residing at the mines,
were returning from Remove with their
families when dispute took place between
them on account Of the careless shooting
OF a revolver by Pipher, whereupon the
latter shot Miller in the left breast the
ball penetrating both lungs, and causing
death to ensue almost Immediately The
murderer fled at once and was met by a
fellow-workman, named Saint, near the
Drury's Run bridge, short distance west
of the scene Of the tragedy, with whom
he exchanged hats, and inquired the
nearest route to Canada, saying that he
had shot Miller and intended to leave the
country. He demanded and received Of
Saint three dollars which he said he saw
him have and then went up M,ng the rail-
road track with the intention of taking
Saints advice to go to Canada by way Of
Emporium. Upon news OF the murder
being received here Justice Smith empan-
nelled coroner's jury, which viewed the
body but adjourned until Sunday to pro-
cure additional evidence. The body was
then brought to Peck's undertaking rooms
| in Remove, where post mortem examina-
tion was made by Dr. w. G. Weymouth
The murderer then started in Yves tcrly
direction, but evidently did so to inislea d
search, as after descriptions were telc.
graphcd in 10th directions, he was dis
covered in a freight car OF an eastward
bound train. He was invited by the train,
men to go to the caboose to warm himself,
which he unsuspectingly did. The con.
ductor telegraphed to Williamsport to
have an officer In readiness to arrest him
upon the arrival Of the train. As soon az
the train reached Rocktown, south OF
Williamsport, no was placed In custody,
and taken to Williamsport jail, where he
remained until the arrival OF officer Beer,
wiler from Remove on Day Express, Mon,
day lie was brought to Remove on Day
Express the same evening and had pre-,
liminary hearing before Justice Smith,
who remanded him to the Lock Haven Jail
to await the action of the Court.

drew knife and cut Green's throat. II
the knife had been sharper the jugular vein
would has been severed Green was out
on Monday. No arrest has yet been made,
and Green does not want to prosecute
because they were both drunk. This would
be proper case for the officers of the law
to take hold Of, without consulting Green's
wishes, as we understand there were other
witnesses to the assault Men who do no,
hesitate to make a murderous attack, drunk
or sober, ought to be taught lesson before
they kill somebody whom the community
might miss. This would scarcely apply to
Green however.
