SUICIDE OR STARVATION.
An Aged Couple in Brooklyn Endeavor to
Commit Suicide.

lS New York, June 30.--John Costevan heard
a woman crying on Railroad avenue in
Brooklyn at o'clock on Friday night. He
found an aged couple, man and woman,
sitting on the curbstone. The mans arm
was around his companions waist, and he
was talking rapidly to her in German. Bend
ing over to speak to them, CosteYan saw that
their clothing was bloody, and that there was
blood on the sidewalk beside them. In the
blood lay a small penknife.
CosteYan summoned a policeman and as
sisted ir removing the aged couple to the po-
lice station. The woman in broken English
said that her name was Theresa Wagner; that
she was seventy-four years of age that the
man was her husband, Henry, and that he
was year older. Mrs. Wagner had q deep
cut across the left arm, between the wrist
and the elbow, and the husband had a less
serious wound in his left arm.
"My husband" Mrs Wagner said, tried
to make me bleed to death. and then tried to
kill himself. We we're both tired of life"
Mrs. Wagners wound was very deep, and
she was weak from loss of blood. Her hus-
bands wound was trivial. Through an in
terpreter, Wagner, who speaks no English at
ALL said that he and his wife were starving
II had no work." he said, land my wife has
Lad no food for nearly two weeks After
talking the matter over, my wife and 1 agreed
that it was better to die and go together to
the next world. Nevertheless, am glad
did not succeed, and 1 will not try again"
He was very anxious about his wife's con-
dition, constantly made inquiries about her
and appeared overjoyed when told that she
would not die. Wagner was fully recovered
, from his wound to-day, and will be turned
Sver to the police under the new code. He is
tfiue-lOOkinp old man with white hair His
clothes and those of his wife, although they
have seen much wear, are neat and clean.
Mrs Wagner is tall, slightly built woman
Her hair is snow white.

THE CKsAREAN OPERATION
Successfully Performed the Fourth Time in
This Country.

PHILADELPHIA, June 30.-One of the rarest
triumphs of modern surgery was accom-
plished yesterday at the Almshouse Hospi-
tai, by the successful delivery of child
through the modified Csesarean section. The
patient, Sally Smith, is a deformed dwarf
about forty years old. She is only four feet
high, and has suffered from curvature of the
spine since birth. This deformity has been
very pronounced, and caused malformation
of the hip and pelvic bones to such an extent
hat deliverance in the ordinary manner was
npossible.
There were present at yesterdays operation
RS. S. d. Gross. S. w. Gross Elliott Richard
: son, David D. Richardson, J. Philip Leidy, ].
William White, Ellwood Wilson and Clara
Marshall. The operation was performed by
DR.. w. II. Parrish, assisted by the resident
physicians at the almshouse. The patient
was put under the influence of ether, and re-
mained in this condition for one hour and
forty-fve minutes, the length of time it re-
qaired to perform the operation.
The incision was made through the parie-
tes of the abdomen and uterus in order to
extract the fetus.
Mother and child are doing we'll, and there
is fair prospect of ultimate recovery. The
patient is now under the personal care of DIR.
Mclaughlin, warden of the hospital. Since
she has been at the hospital the woman has
preserved remarkable reticence concerning
r.. previous life. She is unmarried.
N he rarity with which this operation is
e icessful is seen from the fact that the pres
u- case is the fourth that has been accom-
q shed in this country. 1t is the first that
p 8 been performed at the almshouse, and
y le second in Philadelphia. The first sue
4 issful Caesarian operation in this city was
arformed by DIR. Elliott Richardson, about
hree years ago. The woman in that case
was also dwarf, and though she is now
dead she survived the operation over two
years and entirely recovered from its effects.

KELLoGG's CASE.
Pleas in Abatement Heard and the Case
Continued.


Continued
WASHINGTON, June 30.--In the Criminal
Court this morning argument was heard upon
the pleas in abatement entered in the case of
ex-senator Kellogg.
Mr. Bliss, for the government, raised OBJ
jections that the substance of the pleas was
proper matter for motion to quash and not
for a plea in abatement.
The court seemed disposed to adopt this
view, but Mr.. Wilson, counsel for Kellogg,
insisted upon ruling upon the pleas as sub
mitted reserving the right to make the same
matter ground for motion to quash. Ar
gument was the heard upon the pleas sepa-
rately.
Especial attention was given to the plea al
leging improper selection of the grand jury
that returned the indictment against Kel-
logg, and Bliss, Wilson, Shellabarger and
Merrick participated in the argument. At
its conclusion Mr.. Wilson asked for a decis-
ion, but upon the statement of the Assistant
District Attorney that the point was of much
importance, and would affect other local
cases, the court continued the case until Sat-
urday next

ASSISTED IMMIGRATION.


The Subject Receiving the Attention of the
Government
WASHINGTON July 1.-The subject OF as
sisted emigration from Ireland to this
country is still receiving the attention of the
government. In February and March last
our consuls in Ireland made an investigation
of the subject in connection with that of the
general condition of the poor in that coun-
try, but no unanimity of opinion was
expressed as to the emigration. A summary
of Consul-general Merritts report of this in
vestigation was published in May. During
May the first shipment of any considerable
number of assisted emigrants that reached
this country was landed at Boston, and the
fact was promptly reported to the Treasury
Department by the customs officers and
brought to the notice of the State Depart
ment, This shipment was followed by others.
At that time, and before the circumstance
had attracted general public notice Minister
Lowell was informed of the arrival of these
emigrants, and appropriately instructed. As
yet no report has REACHED the State Depart
ment from Minister Lowell as to what steps
have been taken in the matter.

CHIEF-JUsTICE COLERIDGE.
He Is Sentenced to Death by the Irish Rev
OlutiOnary Brotherhood.

New York, June 30.-The Sunday Mercury
publishes an interview with prominentmem-
bers OF the Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood
who stated that at a late meeting of the order
Chief-justice Coleridge had a sentence of
death passed upon him because of the man
ner in which he conducted the trials of Dr.
Gallagher, Wilson and others; and also be-
cause the Chief-justice ordered the jury to
find verdict of guilty, and then inflicted
life sentence on the prisoners. Irish revolu-
tionists here claim the verdict was not justi-
fed by the evidence The Brotherhood have
branches in Ireland and England that can
remove Coleridge and informers on the other
side of the Atlantic as well as on this. The
Brotherhood will be guided by circum-
stances, and lose no opportunities.

THE HILL INVESTIGATION.
Architect MoArthur's Opinion of the Modi-
fed Contracts.

Architect McArthur's Opinion of the Modi-
fled Contracts.
WASHINGTON, June 30.-In the Hill inyes-
tigation John Macarthur, the architect in
charge of the Philadelphia public building
was asked his opinion, as an expert, whether
it cost more to complete the Philadelphia
building under the modified contract than it
would have cost under the 15-per-cent. con-
tract. Objection was made, and an argument
ensued. Finally the witness was permitted
to answer, and said that the work under the
modified contract was inferior in quality to
that performed under the 15-per-cent. con-
tract.
The witness thought 10 per cent would be
fair estimate as to the superiority of the
work under the 15-per-cent. contract.
Bartlett, Robbins & Co.'s case was then
taken up, and General Steinmetz resumed his
analysis of the charges of Bartlett, Robbins
& Co. for extra york upon the New York
postoffice.
The examination of General Steinmetz
upon this branch of the case was concluded,
and the committee adjourned till Monday,
when General Steinmetz will be cross-exam-
ined.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR.
Gossip About His Health-His Late wife's
Good Taste.

Good Taste.
Washington Special
Your correspondent this morning met a
gentleman who has had the distinction of
living as a neighbor to General Arthur for
over thirty years. He was telegraphed for
by Arthur on the night Garfield died, and
was one of his principal advisers during the
trying months that followed Arthurs acces-
sion to the presidential chair. arthur has
always been high liver" he said HE
likes good things and plenty of them, He is
is inclined to be bilious at times, but he is
rarely, if ever, sick"
"How do you account for the many alarm
ing reports about his health?"
"Oh, it's anything for a sensation, ] sup
pose. These reports are very annoying to
the President. He is continually receiving
letters from all kinds of people telling him
to take this or that remedy. The patent
medicine frauds have also swamped him
with samples of their wares. If Mr.. Arthur
occupied any other position you would hear
nothing about his failing health"
Did you know Mrs. Arthur when she was
alive?'
"Yes, very we'll. General Arthur thought
everything of her; he has never been quite
the same since her death. l don't think he
will ever marry again, although it would be
better for him if he would. He will never
marry while he remains President, anyhow
1t would be too much like a business trans
action. He wishes to make it purely love
matter. His late wife was a very beautiful
woman. She was a decided brunette She
had large, expressive eyes that were dazzling
in their brilliancy. She had plump round
figure and was the envy of my wife and
many other ladies in the taste she displayed
in dressing. 1t was the common remark
that Arthur would never save anything, as
his wife spent all the money he could make
in clothes. As a matter of fact, the General
has since told me that his wife probably
spent less on herself than anyone in her set.
She could by the use of ribbon or two and
several hounces, change an old style dress in
to the latest Worth style. wish my wife had
her gift. Mrs Arthur was good conversa-
tionalist and fond of society. She was we'll
educated and was as familiar with the cur
rent events as her husband was"

The Quartermaster-General To Be Placed
on the Retired List To-Day.
Washington Special.
The event Of the week in the history of the
army will be the retirement of Quartermas-
ter-general Rufus ingalls,, upon his own ap-
plication, after forty years service. 1t is
understood that he thus voluntarily retires
on July 2 rather than await the compulsory
retirement at sixty-four years of age on Aug
30, because he wishes his successor to begin
service with the fiscal year. General ingalls,
has an army record which the country should
not willingly let die out of remembrance.
Graduatineat the Military Academy in 1S43,
he did continuous duty upon the frontier
until the breaking out of the war of the re-
bellion, having been breveted for gal
liant conduct at Embudo and Taos
in New Mexico. In 1913 he en-
tered the Quartermaster's Department as
captain, serving in California and Washin-
ton Territory until 1852. In 1854 he accom-
panied Steptoe's expedition across the conti-
nent. He began his service in the war of the
rebellion by participating in the defense of
Fort Pickens, and was thence brought to
Washington as chief quartermaster of the
forces occupying the defenses of Washington
south of the Potomac. As chief quarter

Cured in that locality, and to protect rail-
road and other property.
The mayor of East St. Louis, several alder
men and a number of prominent East St
Louisans, accompanied by Major Ernst, of
the Mississippi River Commission, and two
or three prominent gentlemen of this city,
made an excursion this afternoon along the
Illinois shore, from the bridge to the Mad
ison county dixie, some distance above Ven
ice, to observe the effect of the food upon
the shore-line of the river. AS close an
examination of the condition of things as the
present high stage of water would permit was
made and the general conclusion reached
was that higher and stronger dixie. to ex-
tend from Carr-street ferry landing, in East

master of the Army of the Potomac from
July, 1862 until June 1865, his record is
practical history OF the operations of that
army under its various commanders. He
was present at almost every great battle of
that army from Bull Run to the final tri-
umph when General Lee surrendered at APP
pomattox. On May %, 1863 he was APP
pointed brigadier-general of volunteers
and received the brevet of major-general of
volunteers March Is, 1865, for faithful and
meritorious service. In the widest field and
under the most trying condition, he exhib-
tied military qualities of the highest order.
A few years ago, General Grant, in speaking
of his ability and service, said that had he
not been indispensable as a quartermaster,
he would doubtless have risen to the highest
distinction in the field, and that he had all
the qualities needed to have secured his ap-
pointment to the command of the Army of
the Potomac. 1t will be no more than JUS
tice if Congress should sanction his retire
ment as a major-general.
The Secretary of War has recommended
General Holabird for the succession, and it is
supposed he will receive the appointment on
the ground that he stands next in rank.

DISCUSSING FREE TRADE.
The Golden Club, Assisted by Horace White,
Exchange Views.

Exchange Views.
LONDON, June 30.-The dinner of the Cob
den Club took place at Greenwich tonight.
Clemenceau, French Republican who ex-
pected to be present, was absent. Joseph
Chamberlain, President of the Board Of
Trade, presided. Chamberlain, in a speech,
deprecated peace-at-any- price policy, and in
sisted upon the wisdom of not interfering
with cases like the American war. He said
the Radicals of England would make the
greatest sacrifices to secure the unity of the
Liberal party. They are willing to yield
liberty of action for the present but not lib,
erty OF opinion. The Radicals were pioneers,
and unity of party was undesirable at the
price of their silence.
Sir Charles Dixie, president OF the local
government board in proposing the toast,
Foreign visitors" said protective countries
were drifting in the direction of moderate
duties and there had been great change in
the past year in favor of free trade in America.
where the Golden Club has more honorary
members than anywhere else.
Horace White said that abstract free-trade
principles had made little progress in
America, but that free trade itself had made
much progress. The Democrats would not
do anything heroic. A little more banks
ruptcy would do more for knocking off tho
tariff there than free-trade doctrines When
free trade should be adopted in America that
country would become England's greatest
competitor in the worlds commerce.
Mr. Sherman considered the prospects of
free trade in America bright.
