Il E'oman's Phenomenal Persistence of
PaIpose.

Il BomGn's Fhemon,eise1 Persistence Of
Paipose.
Since the hideousIy original deed of sc.f-
slaughter of the demented German IN
Whitefriars, says the london telegraph,
who actually succeeded in decapitating
himself by means of roughly improyised
guillotine, there have been few suicides of
more determined and more unusual
character than that committed by an
unhappy laundress, seventy-two years of
age, on whose remains an inquest was held
a few days ago by DR.. Danford Thomas.
The husband of the deceased is
ten years her senior, and he gave
evidence to the effect that of late years she
had been very strange" in her manner
She had often threatened to commit suicide,
and on one occasion swallowed quantity
of parafin oil. The husband had been
often advised to place her under restraint,
but he had declined to do so, saying that
he was we'll able to look after her him
self, and procure medical advice for her.
And he was eighty-two? One morning
the old man on waking missed his wife
from his side. Search was made for her
in vain, and information was given to the
police in the belief that she had thrown
herself into the canal, which she had often
threatened to do. The police and the hus-
band returned to the house, and at length
they discovered the body of the poor old
woman crouching in water-butt, quite
dead. She must have got into the butt by
means of a box placed against the side,
knocked away the broom handle which
served as a bung, and then sat down to
wait until the turncock turned on the main
at in the morning; and the water must
have been poring over her head for a full
hour and quarter. 1t was the opinion of
the coroner that death by drowning must
have ensued about four minutes after the
water had begun to descend on her head.
The question of time is of no great
moment. She could have got into the
water-butt for no other purpose than
that OF self-destruction. 1t would be more
instructive to know whether she was in
position to be enabled to rise to her feet,
and to save herself when the water began
to flow, or whether she was so wedged and
jammed between the sides of the cask as
to be unable to stir when the torrent came
upon her. If the last were the case, she
was probably very soon sufocated. If the
first she must have been more of an an
cient Roman than Dane, or distraught
old Englshwoman either. Not one suicide
in fifty thousand, we should say, would be
able to resist that instinct of self-preser-
vation which is the first law of nature.

by citizens of Evansville. They were met
at the depot by the citizens committee
and escorted to hotel. A ball and ban
quet is now in progress at St.

that had been arranged for the day. There

Especial Telegram to the Globe.

lSpSCl8l
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-The market was
quoted steady!in the early dealings. Before
an hour had elapsed it was about as weak
as anything we have had since the COM
mencement of the year. By 2 o'clock un-
der the leadership of Denver, which sold
at 48, the whole list frightened up and
slightly better prices were the order of the
day. The bank statement showing aIgain
in reserve of 81, 100000 was more favorable
than last week. AS money is fairly drug,
the appearance of the condition of the
banks cuts no figure in the fluctuations of
stocks. We're there more speculations and
less of plethora of money it would suit
Wall street better Terre Haute con-
tinues to advance in the face of
the general depression. The common is
eight points higher than on last Saturday
and the preferred has done about as we'll.
The dividend of per cent. on the latter
for 1882, will, it is expected, be paid in the
near future. The day closes with the street
Thoroughly puzzled, and none wise enough
to even venture guess at what may be in
store. Prices at the close show little
change in most instances from those of
last evening.
Wall street has mystery. 1t is Union
Pacific, and it is bothering the boys con-
siderably. In November the stock was
selling at III and 11S. 1t began to go down;
it kept on going down and on one
pretext and another it was sold. Recently
the selling became very free, and Union
Pacific hovered around par. Yesterday
afternoon broker, who has been dealing
largely in Union Pacific, said: ''Im going
to Jump in and drive Union Pacific below
par if have to sell 100000 shares to do
it," 1t took just 100000 shares to send
the unfortunate stock down to $3.50.
That's the way the stock has been handled
all day, and 100000 of the 100000 sold IN
the exchange were Union Pacific stocks.
The mystery is as to what ails the stock
and who is selling it. The officials swear
up and down that the road is al
right, that the attitude of the
government is all right, that there is nc
reason under heaven why the stock should
not be up to lis, and that they don't know
who is selling, and yet it is sold. One
theory is that the recent litigations be-
tween the Union Pacific Railroad com.
pany and the Credit Mobilier company in
dicate an attack of the railroad company
upon some Of the most prominent and
heretofore largest holders of stock as rep
resented by the Ames party and othel
Boston interests, and it is probable tina
this has been one cause of the recent sell
ing of Union Pacific on orders presumed
to come from Boston.

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-Justice Wallace de-
cided masher Buddington's case this after
noon. The heart-breaker, as will be re-
membered, was badly horsewh1pped at the
Mattison house by Mr.. George Peake, as
sisted by Prof. De Campi, and Buddington
had them arrested on the charges of ag-
gravated assault. Justice Wallace decided
that the Buddington decoy letter sent to
Miss Peake was written and signed by the
masher. Although Mr.. Peake and Mr.. De
Campi, were in the eye of the law guilty
yet the court would, in view of all the cir
cumstances, impose the slightest fine pos
sible which was 81. This was paid, and
the parties left court.

Sharp Trick in Illinois on the Western
Union.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. Jan. 27.-Certain per-
sons interested in the new telegraph enter
prise, ascerta1ning that the Western Union
Telegraph company is not organized
under the laws OF Illinois, made applica-
ton to the secretary Of state to organize
corporation to be named the ''Western
Union Telegraph company" the first step
necessary being the license to be issued by
the secretary to commissioners to open
books for stock subscriptions. Atthis stage
the Western Union Telegraph company
protested and the matter was referred to
the attorney general for decision. That
officer decided this afternoon that under
the statute the secretary has no discretion
at this point in the proceedings to with
hold the license to commissioners. Further
steps necessary to be taken to perfect any
incorporation are sought, when the aid OF
the court can be invoked to defeat the
proposed organization. This movement
might prove disastrous to the Western
Union people had they not learned of the
attempt at its inception.
