to have made during the past year ten
million dollars in commissions.

CAUSE OF DEATH.

Every one was surprised at the fatal
termination of the accident, and DIR. Piper
made an examination and found that death
was caused by conclusion of the brain, in
fiicted by the wound on the head. John
Capias was man whom every one in Mo-
line knew and liked. He came to this city
in 1865, and went to work in the family of
C. FL. Deere, in the capacity of coachman,
and has been with them until three years
ago, when he went to work in the paper
mill on the straw cutting machine, which
instrument caused his death. A few years
ago he married young woman who
worked in the family of Mr.. Deere. and not
long ago built him comfortable home on
the bluff and paid for it. He was favor
tie among all classes. and the news of his
sudden and shocking death viii be re-
ceiyed with deep regret by all who knew
him.

The crop of almanacs for 1882 is very
copious, and most of them abound with
excellent jokes, of which the following
is a sample: ssDear Sir-For two long

SUDDEN DEATH.

Yesterday forenoon, at half-past ten
O'Clock, John Capias, (colcred) caught his
right arm in a straw cutter at the Moline
Paper Mill, where he was employed. He
was engaged in running the cutter, which
consists of six knives. Capias, in putting
the straw through the cutter, noticed a
stick in the straw. and put his right hand
forward to pull it out. In doing SO his
arm was caught by the knives. and before
he could help himself his arm was drawn
in and cut in terrible manner-literally
chopped to pieces. A person can imagine
the force of the machine, as it makes six
hundred revolutions per minute. Capias
was drawn toward the machine, his head
striking the knives, and cutting terrible
cash over his left eye. The Superintend-
ent of the mill, hearing Capias' cries, ran
up and stopped the machine, and with the
assistance of others helped the in
jured man down stairs, where he was
Piper was summoned. Mr.. Capias was
conveyed to his residence on the bluff, and
DIR. Piper amputated the arm just below
the shoulder. There were present at the
amputation, besides Drs. Piper and Schu-
macher Messrs. Charles Ell. Deere, E. B.
Atkinson, s. III. Vielie and G. d. Dickin-
son. After the amputation Mr.. Capias
took morphine and went to sleep. Awak-
ing about quarter to four, he remarked
to an attendant that he was tired and was
going to sleep again. His wife Was out
of the room at the time, and Capias after
making the above remark, gave two or
three gasps and expired.

SUICIDE

A shooting affair occurred in the old
Nourse house, opposite Judge Gould's resi-
dence, on Henry street, in which Thomas
Lewis, generally known as Cranky Lewis, .
figures as principal. Yesterday afternoon,
about five o'clock, Lewis bought a revolver
at ThOs. Dunn d Sons hardware store, and,
went home. His mother being absent, he
laid down on the bed and shot himself
through the right temple, and from all APP
pearances must have died instantly. His,
mother came home from work at the pa
per mill about six O'Clock, and upon eR-
tering the room discovered the dead. body
of her son lying. on the bed She immedi.
ately alarmed the neighbors and the po-
lice. Coroner Morris was summoned and
Immediately impanelled jury composed
of DIR. Schumacher d. NJ Holt. J.a g.
Wells and Frank Plummer A verdict of
death by suicide was rendered.
THE CAUSE <l-~ I'd
The reason that Thomas Lewis shot hifnS
to his mother and laid on the table for her
to read. Some days ago Marshal Hender-
son wrote to the superintendent of the
feeble minded asylum of this state regard
ing Lewis, and it seems that the young
man heard of it and preferred to die by his
own hand. He was % years of age and
has been demented for the last two years,
and his condition is the result Of a long
siege of sickness. Before his sickness he
was steady and industrious young man,

Between the hostile movements OF the False
Prophet on her southern frontier ana British occu-
patton on her seaboard the outlook for Egypt Is
far frSm assuring. The danger which threatens
from the first named source has already been al
iuded TO IN these columns but 1t Is scarcely more
serious or more imminent than that whi:h grows
out OF the condition OF things in the delta OF the
Nile following the suppression of Arab Pasha. In
answer to the inquiry OF the Porte as to the time
when her troops are TO be Withdrawn from Egypt
ian territory England makes reply, substantially,
that "the army OF occupatioDwin stay until 1t has
done ITS work; and that It's work will not be con-
sidered to have been accomplished until new
order OF things has been established In Egypt and
fairly set going" To this a prominent London
Journal significantly adds that "Turkey and the
world generally should distinctly understand that
the considerable body OF English troops now there
must stay in Egypt for period TO which no limit
can as yet be assigned" and that sit Is ne
cessary that such portion should remain there
until the legitimate objects OF England have been
watched the past course OF England in like cases
viii understand, without further explanation. 1t
Is as well established as anything can be by the
teachings OF history that when that country once
gets foOthOld on new territory she is certain to
IND some pretext, backed up BY a strong force,
for maintaining IT permanently. III the expert
ence OF Egypt proves To be exception to this
rule the people OF that country will have great
cause for congratulation.
