The Atte mpted Suicide i'm Jail.

WHAT WILSON SAID ABOUT IT TO STAR REPORTER
Last week, as stated In THE STAR, Charles X.
Wilson, prisoner in the jail, attempted to COM
NIT suicide by hanging himself to the bars of his
cell window by suspender; but was cut down
before life was extinct and resusctated. There
have been many statements made as to the causes
Of his attempt, and 1t has been published that it
was because, through Lieut. j. F. Kelly OF the po-
lice, he had been identified az Edward C. Foster,
was wanted for murder or some other high crime.
Wilson acknowledged that his proper name was
E. c. Foster, and that he had written one or two
letters to Dover. 1t appears that directly after
the Identification OF Wilson as Foster he became
much detected he states not because of any crime
but because his identity had been established. In
conversation with STAR reporter yesterday he
said: 81 wish you would state that there is no
such crime as murder against me, and the only
crime can remember which they could want me
for is that few days before left when acting as
forgot TO turn it over. 1t was bad enough for me
to be here charged with swindling through the
mails, but could have stood it alone TO have
my poor wife brOugh into this additional disgrace
was TOO much, and when l found that my
identity was established and that she was to
tempted the act. 1 did not look on the chage
here as very serious one and thought could
weather 1t, but when the second indictment was
found it made me feel that it was being piled upon
me. This was enough, and when the exposure,
which involved my innocent wife, came, could
bear it no longer" Wilson, or Foster, was removed
cells at the end OF the wing, where there are two
other prisoners, who keep watch over him.

Brigham's tracks, to see by what route
he had found his way back. Begin
ming at the Echo river, we had no diff
liculty in seeing that he had, step by
step, followed our trail; his only guide,
of course, being the sense of smell.
Here, his tracks were deeply printed in
soft mud, and there, more sharply de-
fined on the mellow banks Of nitrous
earth, less distinctly along ridges Of
sand, or over heaps Of stone, or up
steep stair-ways.
Thus Brigham had followed us,
through darkness deeper than that of
midnight, along the narrow beach of
Lake Lethe, across the treacherors
natural bridge spanning the River Styx,
up to the galleries OverhaDging the
Dead Sea, through the wild confusion
of Bandits Hall, and by many spot
where one misstep would have sent the
poor, lCne'y creature plunging down.
ward in darkness to inevitable death.
1t will be remembered that we had
gone in past the Giants Coffin, 10y the
arched way among the deep pits, and
through the mazes leading to River
Hall. But we had come out by new.
ly discovered mode of exit, through an
intricate set of assures, known on &C
count of its winding nature, as "The
COrkscrew." We preferred this, be
cause it saved Il mile and half of
travel. Our four-footed friend,
pursuing the freshest scent, went,
of course, up the COrkscrew.
The opening is too irregular to be
called pit or shaft. Yet it winds
upward for a distance, vertically, of
about one hundred and fifty feet; but
fully five hundred feet, as one climbs
creeping through crevices, twisting
through "auger-holes," and scaling pre-
cipitous rocks scattered in the widest
confusion imaginable. Three ladders
have to be mounted in threading this
passage. One emerges, at last, on the
edge of a cliff overlooking the main
cave, and down which he chambers TO
the level noor, where the road runs
smoothly along to the Iron Gate, a
quarter of mile distant.
Only think of it! Through all this
intricate and hazardous pass, where
without a guide we should have found
it difficult to make our way, even with
lamps and a map of the cave, that
yellow dog had safely gone alone. He
offered no explanation of his proceed
ings, nor told us what motive prompted
his independent explorations. But
that was his affair, not ours. We hon
ored him as hero, and obtained for
him, from the manager, Mr. Francis
Klett, the freedom of the cave for the
rest of his life.

During the winter butter has been
shipped to New York from Holstein,
owing to a scarcity of the home article,
The American Dairyman says Of the
imported goods:
The quality proved superlatively fine,
in fact fancy, as good as the best made
in our crack creameries, of fine golden
color, and the rich aroma of newly
made grass butter ard of fine nutty
flavor. 1t quite took the members of
the Butter and Egg Exchange by sur
prise when some of the goods were ex-
hibited. All were Of the opinion that
in quality this Holstein make was full
ly up to our best creamery goods Of
summer production. How this could
be done in mid-winter, the time this
butter was made, is a mystery. There
can hardly be grass growing in Holstein
in February, although they have en-
joyed an open winter in that district
There is probably some secret in the
feed of the cows to produce such high
colored and aromatic goods at that sea
