THE EBERHARDT TUNNEL.

Punishing Would-Ue Suicides.

The New Penal Code of New York
makes an attempt To commit suicide
felony, punishable by imprisonment
not to exceed two years, or fine of
not more than 81 goo. The first case
under this law came up in police
court this week. The defendant was
a tinsmith named Charles Fick, who
denied making an attempt TO take his
own life, and as the evidence against
hun was not conclusive he csca ped the
penalty. Many are ofthe opinion that
the effect OF this law will be the reverse
OF what IL is intended for. Ifa person
attempts suicide and is unsuccessful
the first time, he will undoubtedly
make another attempt. knowing that
the penalty of failure is two years I'M
prisonment. II is generally held by
physicians that those who attempt sui
eide are mentally deranged, and If
such is the fact, imprisonment in n
penitentiary can scarcely be 'onsider-
rational treatment for their disease.

growing belief that very powerful bull COM
bination has been formed and that it has al
ready. begun putting up prices. Facts in regard
to the position and transactions OF individual

sion. The indications are that Gould, Wander

The Apportionment Bill Not Likely to
FPass.
WASHINGTON, Feb S.-Indications point
very clearly to the rejection of the pending ap-
portionment bill in the House in its present
shape. The Democrats generally are against
it and many of the Republicans are openly op-
posing it. Representative Blackburn says it is
an unjust measure, that it ignores the rapidly
growing western States andgives an increase n

ing in population. He says it will be rejected

will propose to fix the membership at 81 as
that would distribute the representation, 1t IS
claimed, more equitably among the fractions
than snv other number. The Democrats gen.
orally favor smaller number and it will be
proposed from their side to keep the House at
its present figure. Some think that 307 will be

terday Ryan was visited by physician to give
him medical assistance. His pulse was normal
and his chief injuries consisted of a welt on
the left side of his neck where he had been
struck a terrible blow, gashed lips and cut on
one eye, together with considerable Commissions
about the body. After examination the doctor
stated that Ryan was suffering from hernia
and must have been in great pain during the
fight. He advised him to forsake the prize
ring.
Ryan stated that he intended giving up pu-
gilism, as he did not think he was suited by
nature for that kind of business He con-
fessed that he had been fairly whipped, as do
his hackers.

The Loss of the Ship Lisette.:
ALL THE CREW DROWNED.

ST.. JOHNS, N. f., Feb. 8.-The German ship
Lizette, from New York for this port, was seen
in the ice off this port last Sunday evening
with signals of distress. No tugs could reach
her on account of the ice. On Tuesday morn
but found her sunk on a reef. Five dead
bodies have come ashore. 1t is believed that
all on board were lost. The vessel was about
16o tons and had cargo valued at $4,000.
Several hours before the Lizette struck and
sunk some well manned boats put off from the
shore to assist Capt. Buttner to an anchorage,
but he refused all assistance and angriy waived
off the friendly fishermen. Doubtless the fact
that there was barrier against all communica-
ton between the German speaking officer and
the English speaking fisherman sufficiently &C.
counts for this unhappy misunderstanding, the
German captain doubtless believing the fisher
men to be mero wreckers or pirates.

A Protest Against the Admission of Da-

kota,
CHICAGO, Feb S.-Some of the holders of
the bonds Of Yankton county, Dakota, have
prepared a protest against the admission of
Dakota as State which will shortly be for
warded to Washington. The allegations there
in contained if true show a remarkably bad
record for the citizens of that county. 1t is set
forth that in 1872 the county issued 5000, 900 in
bonds to aid the Dakota Southern r. r. under
the act of Congress; that these bonds are wide
ly distributed; that under the lead of some of
the men now pushing the matter Of admission
at Washington the county stopped interest mp
on these bonds and tried to repudiate them,
but after several years litigation the United
States Supreme Court in May, 1880, decided
they must be paid. Since then byvarious dis
reputable expedients, aided by the Territorial
legislature, they have the bondholders assert
avoided payment of interest which now
amounts to $4,000.
