freightS which have for some
time existed, and which are at

has recently chartered ten of these steamers.
The Italian government has chartered a
number of the ships of the Forio line, which
also come to this port, and the only con-
consequence of this movement, as far

An Unsuccessful Attempt at Suicide.

Day before yesterday William Henderson, a
| resident of Broad Ripple, and formerly deputy
sheriff of this county, when returning from the
old-folks picnic near his town, was robbed of his
money, watch and other valuables. He became
very much depressed on account of the loss, and
visiting the city yesterday, spent the time in
brooding over it. About 5 o'clock in
the evening he went to Hendricks
drug store, at the corner of Delaware
and Washington streets, and purchased two
ounces of laudanum.. AS he came out
of the store he was met by George Winnypenny
and another friend who, noticing his condition,
became alarmed at his possession of the lauda-
mum. They took the phial away from him but
not without stuggle. The phial broke, spilling
the liquid drug on the pavement. Henderson
walked up street but returned in short time and
purchased two ounces more. This he swallowed,
but before the poison could do its work he was ta-
ken to the station house, where Drs. Hodges and
He'll came to his relief. After some hours work
they pronounced him out of danger Hender-
sons mother came after him about 10 o'clock
and took him home.
