Diving by His Own Hand.

A Louisville, Ky, telegram OF the 2lst
says: Last evening ct I o'clock a tall,
slender man, wearing heavy, gray NOUS
tache, and whose gray hair marked him
as beyond middle age, walked into the ro-
tunda OF the Louisville Hotel and up to the
counter. lie removed his hat and laid 1t
on the counter, and reaching back pro-
duced pistol from his pocket, crying,
"Look out" The clerk at the counter,
thinking an attack upon himself was in
tended, lodged underneath the wood,
work and others standing around scattered
in every direction. In the midst OF It all,
the stranger placed the muzzle OF the
weapon to his right temple and, discharg-
ing it, blew his brains out. He fell back
ward TO the floor and was dead in Few
minutes. The suicide was T. z. Wells, OF
Newport. KY, river pilot who has been
here since the flood, and who has been
drinking heavily. He was fifty years old,
and no cause for the deed is assigned. lie
left letter explaining it, but 1t has not yet
been made public.

The Population Of Europe.

In the latest issue OF the Almanach de
Gotha" the population OF Europe is esti-
mated to be composed as follows: Norway
has the smallest number Of inhabitants to
the square kilometre; with an area .oi
about three-fifths OF that Of Germany, she
has only a twenty-ffth Of the population
OF the Fatherland. The fair sex Is rela-
lively most largely represented in Portn-
gal, which has 1904 females to every 1000
male inhabitants. Germany comes next,
with 1,O29 women to every 1000 men. In
one OF the smaller German States. Wal
deck, the proportion in this respect even
exceeds that OF Portugal-namely, l.O9S
women to every 1000 men; while in the
neighboring principally of schaumberg-
Lippe the men have the upper hand, there
being about 995 women to every 200 men.
The greatest surplusage OF men IL found
in Greece. where to every 1000 men there
are only COG women.

sentenced TO Five Years sobriety.

Governor Cleveland has pardoned Ho-
mer D. skinner, convicted in Schuyler
county. n. Y, Of arson. and sentenced on
March 8, 1881, TO seven years in Auburn
prison.
The Governor says that the occurrence
OF a number Of Gres in the village OF Wat
kins caused the offer Of a reward, and that
he has no doubt that deputy sheriff and
a disreputable fellow who came to Wat
kins about that time conspired to create a
fire, cuprit. detection, and n conVic-
ton. for the purpose OF obtaining the re-
ward. The convict was an idle, shiftless,
incorporate creature Of the village grog-
gerry, the Governor says, whose way OF life
suggested to the conspirators the ease OF
making him the culprit. He believes he is
innocent Of the crime OF which he was
convicted, and pardons him upon the con.
dition that he will wholly abstain from all
intoxicating beverages for the term OF five
years from his discharge.

Under an Awful Avalanche.
JOHN p. MAsON'S FATAL RIDE DOWN NOUN
TAIN INTO oPHIR GULcH.
ILeaaville Democrat. !

TLeasyille Democrai.I
Closely following the killing Of John
Riser by slide in Queens guich comes
the information that Mr.. John p. Mason,
of Aspen, lost his life on Tuesday fore
noon by n similar accident. Mr.. Martin
Hogan, who arrived from the camp yester-
day, narrates the details OF the tragic af-
fair. Mr.. Mason had been employed in
the Louisa mine, in Ophir gulch, and on
the day stated was walking into town. He
was accompanied by Mr.. Mat. Schmidt,
one OF the owners OF the mine. The latter
was some distance ahead on the blind
trail when he heard Mason shout, " How
far have you got 2" Schmidt replied with
n halloo. and waited for Mason to come up.
Just then there raised noise resembling
that OF the wind raising in the trees, and a
creaking OF timber. Looking up the
mountain he saw the avalanche descend
ing. carrying everything before it. In a
few moments the wild bosom had passed
on the bottom Of the gulch, and the
mad roar of the rolling boulders
and falling timbers had died away.
Hoping that Mason had been as for
tunate as himself, he remained where
he stood several minutes, and the
former then failing TO put in an appearance
he retraced his steps. After having walked
one hundred yards or more he came to the
edge Of a slide, which looked like an i'm
mense highway up and down the noun
tain. but Mason was nowhere in sight. He
shouted several times. and, receiving no
response, concluded that Mason had been
engulfed.
The accident occurred at 10 o'clock in
the morning, but the body was not recOy-
cred until o'clock in the afternoon. 1t
was found OF depth OF ten feet. under the
trunk OF tree, fifteen hundred feet below
the trail

UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCES OF PRISONERS

The following Is an extract Of letter
from Walwich Bay. southwest coast OF
Africa "The atrociOus acts OF Paul Wis
ter "a Hottentot chief have received fur
Their confirmation. This fiend held Rad,
and il was decided not TO shoot the prison
ers as is usually done, but to torture them ;
80 1t was decided that the lower jaw OF the
victim should be severed and knife in
serted in the roof OF the mouth and forced
up to the brain. These wretehes further
amused themselves by putting rein with
a slp-knOt round the throats OF the prison
ers, hauling them up TO trees. and when
the tongue Of the victim had protruded

The rod agitated the we'll 30 effect

Dckey square on top the head. passed
through his head toward the left, came out
at the occipital bone, passed on down
through the left shoulder, through the
left lung. narrowly escaping the heart,
and passed out below the last rib, pro-
truding several inches.

New Horse Disease.

A Stroudsburg, Pa, special says: A
new disease that is becoming prevalent
among the horses i'm this section is causing
the farmers great anxiety. DR.. Miller
veterinary surgeon OF the New jersey
State Board OF Health, has given the cpl
demic the name OF azotwina. When at
tackled, the animal breaks out into a vio'
lent sweat and limps on its hind legs. only
allowing the points of its hoofs to touch
the ground. The only way to cure the
disease is to swing the animal clear OF the
ground by means OF straps around It's body
and unless this Is done when the symptoms
first appear: death invariably follows. The
disease is said 10 come from oyer-feeding
and is pronounced similar to Bright''
disease OF the kidneys.
