A SUICIDE.

Yesterday Cbihaman came ashore from
one OF the steamers at the wharf and wan
dered about for some time until he was
picked up" by one of the Frosty TweD-
ty, who took him to the Halliday and in.
PRODUCED him to "the gang" and others as
the advance agent of the "My Partner"
company which is to be here next Tues.
day.
He was dressed in the usual style and
had most comical appearance. After
leaving The Halliday be went uptown and
there met with a disaster which was very
probably, the cause of his speedy viJleLt
demise. Under what circumstances or
where, we could not learn, but when next
seen he was minus the Chinaman's most
sacred ornament, his caudal appendage
He went down to the coal
fleet below the city and
sat around awhile, attracting some atteu-
ton from those in charge there. After
little while he suddenly picked up ham,
mer and began to beat himself over the
head in amanner that left 10 doubt of his
purpose. Bystanders intertered by forclbly
taking the instrument away from him.
Rut tho celestial wac NC so easily
toiled; he made rush for the
nver, and jumped in and was
drowned before aid could reach him.
His body was recovered, however, soon
after life was extinct. Coroner Fitzgerald
was notified, an inquest was held and the
jury found verdict in accordance with the
circumstances related.
What the cause Of his determination to
destroy hau, # was is not positively
known; that it was regret over the loss of
his back-hair is only surmssed.

80 100000 passengers carried aud 700 lives
lost. The Supervising Unprecedented
reports economy in the management OF the
contingent expenses Of the service whereby
such expenses have been reduced from $l2
per steamer inspected in 1876 and previous

ing in six years of nearly $4,000. Gen.
Dumont renews his recommendations OF
1880 that the rule requiring boat and ire
drill on lake. bay, and sound steamers DO
also applied on river steamers, and quotes
from the report Of the local inspectors IN
the Golden City disaster that "the deck
crew seem to have done nothing except to
save themselves" whereas, in his opinion,
had that steamer been required to discip-
line its crew they would not only have been
able to save their own lives, but the lives OF
many OF those who were unfortunately lost

The Rugbeian. (Rugby, Morgan Co., Tenn.) 1881-1882, 1882-08-26

At Leavenworth, Kansas, husband
and wife, after living together for
thirteen years, discovered that they
were uncle and neice. Such union is
not contrary to the law of the State,
but they have thought it best to, separ-
ate. Another matrimonial difficulty
recently arose on account of a husband
failing to properly support his wife.
The lady proved that the only support
her husband had ever rendered her was
four concert tickets, one of which, too,
he took away before the concert com
menced. The court divorced them.
Anotherdifficulty has arisen at Memphis.
Being unable to collect alimony from
her husband, the wife was compelled to
take cemetery lot in settlement Of
her claim.
The Rugbeian. (Rugby, Morgan Co., Tenn.) 1881-1882, 1882-08-26

The Suez Canal was commenced at
Port Said, April 80, 1859. The dam
dividing the waters of the Mediterranean
and the Red Sea was cut August Is,
1869, and on November II, of the same
year, the canal was opened for traffic.
The length of the canal is SO miles and
TAI yards The average breadth is
from 200 to 800 yards. At intervals
of 81 miles are stations where vessels
are signalled, and particulars of the
traffic recorded. There are also at
certain distances along the route, spaces
where the banks are wider apart
These are called "gares," Or shunting
places, where vessels pass each other.
It takes about sixteen hours to steam
through the canal. The svaing in dis
lance between New York and Bombay
by the Suez route is $500 miles, and
to Bombay from England there is a
saving of 4,S40 miles. Up to the end
of March, this year, 90S vessels passed
through the canal since January |, pay
ing tolls amounting toover 81, 100000,
with net profit to the Company of
close upon 100000 The British
Government, on November %, 1875,
purchased for $4,000, 600 the Khedive's
shares in the canal.
The Rugbeian. (Rugby, Morgan Co., Tenn.) 1881-1882, 1882-08-26

Crowded out of the old log cabin by
the great pressure of business, the new
Commssary building was erected by
Mr.. Thomas Hughes, to meet the
pressing wants of the colony. The new
store is situated on Central Avenue,
and presents an excellent appearance,
far better than represented in our
engraving, which, we regret, conveys
only q very poor idea Of the structure.
The frontage is about 40 feet and the
elevation is excellent. The store
measures 40ft. by soft. and is fitted
with every business convenience. The
post-oflice department is III one corner.
At the rear of the store are roomy ware
rooms, side entrances, trustees room,
etc. Over the store is q fine room
called the Hall, in which public meet
ings, entertainments, dinners, etc, are
not unfrequently held, Upon one
occasion it has served as a court room.
1t is also regularly used as a Lodge
room by the Rugby Good Templars.
The whole cost of the building must
have been nearly $4,000
TheRugby Commissary, animportant
local society, founded upon cooperative
principles, for the supply of provisions,
household requisites, agricultural neces
saries, and the thousand-and-one wants
of a new place, commenced business i'll
their new building on September lst
1881. 1t is ably conducted, on behal
of the shareholders, by Mr.. Tucker anC
Mr.. Ross Brown. These two gentlemen
must often think of their old store il
the log cabin where they had hardly
room to swing II cat" had they beer
so minded, and compare it with the
present ample flooring whore game O
base ball might almost be played.
