Presence of mind is good thing,
especially in a lady. Several days
ago Mr.. Blakeledge, while out walking
with Miss Porter, near Haverstraw,
N. Y, fell over precipice. He caught
on jutting craig about twenty feet
below. The young lady took of her
flannel petticoat and her wrap and tore
them into strips. With the rope thus
made she rescued the gentleman from
his perilous position. Before any
other young man attempts this half
suicide sensation racket he must be
sure and find out whether or not his
girl has got the nerve and the petticoat
to save him.-Picdy,me.

WEST MONORE DOTS.

[FROM OUR REGULAR REPORTER.
Judging from the general appearance
of things in West Monroe last night,
one would take it for granted that some
of our population had been tampering
with good old glass of Brother Nc.
Means prohibition. Correct Brother
McMeans, prohibition will cause the
boys to real.
Our old friend Ben Rolling
who has for some time back been
working at the Oil Mills severed his
connection with those unsurpassible
Mills and has returned to New Orleans.
We hope that he may conclude to re-
turn and make West Monroe his
future home.
That esteemed friend of ours, w. F.
Ashley, of RustoD, came in on yester.
days train and was the guest of Capt,

Monroe, yesterday evening, after

we consider good from the fact that
she had only been gone but few

A YOUNG WIFE'S SUICIDE.
Mrs. Edward Hancock Seeks Relief from Her
Troubles by Ending Her Existence.

The wife of Ed Hancock, the proprietor of the
"Ofice" saloon, adjoining the Grand Opera
house, committed suicide last night, in room No.
% of the Hutchins Block, corner of Ohio and
Pennsylvania streets, where she and her
husband lived. The couple have lived unhappiy
for some time. They have had frequent quar-
rels, and their domestic difficulties have been
well known to the people living in the block, to
some of whom Mrs. Hancock told her troubles.
Yesterday afternoon she went out walking,
and at supper last night ate little. Her husband
accused her, as she afterwards told one of her
friends of having taken dinner with some man,
which led to bitter exchange of words between
the two. A lady occupying adjoining apart
ments, who was confidential terms with her,
found her weeping Mrs. Hancock related to this
lady what had occurred, and repeatedly declared
that she could not live she had been living
any longer She said that she intended to re-
turn to her mother who lives at Upton to-day.
She ceased her crying after a time, and at $50
o'clock the lady who had called left her iu her
room AS she talked much about returning to
her mother to live it was not supposed that she
meditated suicide
When Hancock went home, last night after
closing his saloon. at IL o'clock. he found. upon
entering the room. his wife lying on the floor
face downward. She had evidently not been
dead but short time. Assistance was at once
called, and DR.. Compton, a physician
living in the vicinity. was called in,
but nothing could be done. The coroner
was notified, and the remains were taken
in charge by Kregelo, the undertaken. The drug
with which the lady killed herself it is supposed
was laudanum, although it is not definitely
known. The parents of the deceased woman
live at Upton, and are it is said, of the most
reputable families in the place. Mrs. Hancock
was twenty three years old, and had been mar
red but few months

Telephone Stock VS.. Star Routes.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
Any fair-m minded man that reads ex-Chief
Justice William A. Vincent's statement pub
lished in your yesterdays issue will unavoidably
come to the conclusion that the administration
has been trying to make little cheap capital for
itself by violating a fundamental law in all
judicial and other transactions of giving man
chance to be heard before adjudging him
guilty. The ex-chief-justic certainly makes a
strong showing for himself, and from his state
ment it is difficult to see just where he has been
guilty. If Dorsey's name had been Smith or
jones no one would ever have thought of a ju-
dicial improperly. Every American citizen is
presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. In
Dorseys case this presumption is backed up by
the verdict of jury of not guilty in a trial in
which the whole power of the government was
brought to bear against the alleged criminal.
Telephone stock is extremely sensitive. Its vr
tue is at once inflamed by a suggestion of star
route. 1t would certainly be much more in keep
ing with the dignity and honor of great govern
ment to have at least given the accused judge
chance to be heard. Attorney general Garland
and President Cleveland. in order to make
point against the Republican party, and revive
one of its hafforeotten scandals, are quite
willing to condemn first and hear the testimony
afterwards. This excessive virtue is oppressive

becomes short of goods in the afternoon he can

at bio, make his purchases, arrive home on the

result AS the train is only local passenger

could be- II it is changed at all, it should run
