TERRIBLE SUICIDE.
Hurled from Bridge Upon Moving Lo-
connective.

New YORK, June IA man about forty
years old, whose general appearance was
that of a laborer, stood on the bridge over
the railroad track at Fourth avenue and
Ninety seventh street at 2 P. M. to-day,
and looking expectantly toward the South.
Before he had waited long the sound
Of an approaching north bound Hudson
river train was heard. The train was pass
ing Ninety fifth street when the man on
the bridge threw one leg on the guard rail
and prepared himself for jump. VIM. H.
Leonard, the telegraph operator in the
switch station at Ninety sixth street,
noticed the suspicious movement and tried
to signal the engineer of the approaching
train, but he was too late. Leonard saw
the man on the bridge jump over the rail,
clinging to 1t moment and drop when the
locomotive was within few feet of
the bridge. A dozen other persons who
had also noticed the mans movements,
raised q great shout, when noise was of no
avail, to prevent loss of life. The man had
dropped from the bridge just in time to be
struck by the smoke-stack of the locomo.
tive. His body was hurled under the
bridge, and dropped to one side of the
train, badly fnangled. The smoke-stack
was broken by the collision. 1t took half
an hour to collect the scattered
fragments of the mans body. The re.
mains were placed in a box for re-
moval to the Morgue, after search
of the clothing had failed to disclose any
clew to his identity. Afterwards small
leather purse was found near the track.
It contained only two pawn tickets. on
which the name "Doyle" was written. One
had been issued for q coat and the other
ticket was for waistcoat. The clothing
on the mans body consisted of blue fan
mel suit, blue woolen shirt and CATERS.
The police thought the cause of the suicide
was poverty,

pairing Them for the Table-A Deli
cious MOrsel.

WINCHESTER, Pa, June 10.-Dr. VIM. D.
Hartman astonished number of his friends
this morning by the announcement that he
had been living on locusts for some days.
He dug up number yesterday afternoon,
had them fried in butter, and this morning
called on some friends and invited
them to partake of the lunch. The doctor
remarked that it was necessary to eat a
half-dozen to get their flavor, and after
that they would be eaten with relish. He
called them baby locusts, and they were
fresh from the earth. They are very
abundant in the surrounding groves, COW
ering the trees and fences so thick that
they can be gathered up by the bushel.
When the doctor was asked how he
prepared the locusts he said after
gathering them from the earth he took
them home, washed them through six
courses of pure cold water until they were
perfectly clean, then they were put into
boiling water and boiled some twenty min
utes, after which the legs were removed
and the bodies placed into pan, seasoned
with pepper and salt, and cooked in butter
until they became nice brown color or
quite crisp. They are very meaty, he con-
tinued, and have delicious taste. He gave
them to number of friends to taste, and
they all pronounced them excellent.

by years showing the deposits of domestic
gold bullion at the mints and
assay offices from July 1, 1873, to

of foreign gold coin and bullion
have exceeded the net imports by
over $13, ,OOo, 900, showing that considerable
foreign coin is brought by immigrants
upon their persons, and that some foreign
gold bullion, probably brought by rail, is
not reported at the Custom house. An
other table shows the gold coinage at the
U. s. mints for the last twelve fiscal years,
which amounts, after deducting U. S. gold
coins remelted, to $545, ,106,114.

General Riot Ensues.

AKRON, o., June 10.-Fully two thousand
men and boys last night attacked the Sal
walton Army in this city, and regular
riot ensued, in which at least dozen men
were considerably hurt. One of the Saliva
tion Army women, with her tambourine,
inflicted bad wounds on two mems faces,
peeling the skin off their noses. The army's
drums and flags were taken
from them by the rioters and de-
stroyed. Perfect showers of mud, stones
and sticks were rained upon the heads of
the worshipers The Salvationists were
finally routed. The women sought shelter
in dark stairways, and men escaped through
side streets to escape great bodily harm.
The mob was kept up an hour and
twenty minutes, and was witnessed by
hundreds of citizens who lined the
sidewalks. The police were powerless, and
no arrests were made. The Salvationists
paraded last evening, jubilating over the
fact that the City Council killed an ordi-
dnance which had been submitted by the
mayor, suppressing the army. The shouts
and demoniacal yells of the mob were
heard fully mile away.

A New Thing In United States Coin.

PHILADELPHIA, June 12.-For some time
past Colonel Snowden, the Superintendent
of the mint, has been at work at q plan to
circumvent the counterfeiting of silver
coin. To-day there was struck at the
mint two dozen silver dollars, whose
edges, instead of being milled, bear
the words "E Pluribus Unum," in
raised letters, and also thirteen stars.
The process of striking these coins, while
apparently simple, is so difficult that
but few counterfeiters will ever be able to
get the necessary machinery to initiate the
new dollar. At the same time the coin is
stamped on the die 1t is caught between
the two circular clamps and the stars and
motto squeezed around the edge. All the
coin machines in the mint can be furnished
with similar clamps, and even the pennies
can be turned out with raised letters on the
edges.
