George Clark, an inmate of the jail, was
seized with a mania early Sunday even
ing, and securing the razor with which
the prisoners had been shaving, he at
tempted to commit suicide by cutting his
throat. The other inmates seeing what he
was up to seized him and wrested the
razor away from him when it was within
a few inches of his throat. He was at
once confined in a solitary cell where he
continued to rave during the greater part
of the night
The Mayor has issued his annual procla-
nation designating streets for cOasting
1t will be seen that he gives three streets
to the sport, Pearl, Main and Maple. He
wisely places some restrictions upon the
use of two streets-that is single sledo
will not be allowed ON Main street, which
is reserved for traycrscs or double ram
ners, and the traVerses will not be allowed
on Maple, which is reserved for sleds.
These restrictions are made in the interest
of safety. And in view of the tact that
"coasting' is lihly to be more popular
sport, and will probably be INDUCED IN to
- murb ,,ra,tar nytont than eyer before.
