ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A MAN Tries to XIII Himself fm a Fire
Engine House.

Charles Woodwork, forty-six years old,
tried to kill himself at 5 o'clock yesterday
morning at No. SIS engine house, Hartford.
He shot himself once in the head and seeing
that the wound inflicted was failure of the
intended purpose he fred again, this time in
the side. The injured man was taken to the
hospital. He is brother of Edward G..
Woodwork, the driver of No engine, and
has been stopping with Edward, who has q
tenement in the engine house. For some
time past he has been considered of unsound
mind and lately has complained that men
have been following him to do him harm.
He came to New Haven recently and left here
suddenly and went to Brsnford, believing
that two men were DIGGING his steps here.
From Branford he hurried back to this city,
being convinced that the men had tracked
him to Branford. The doctors think he may
possibly recover from his injuries.

Al BIG SEIZURE OF CATTLE
For an Alleged Infringement of tn,
Custom Laws.


Custom Laws.
BUFFALO, Oct. IA Winnepeg despatch
gives the following particulars of a customs
seizure of Montana cattle for alleged non
payment of duty: Twelve or fourteen days
ago the Northern Montana Cattle company
started a herd consisting of 1858 head of
cattle from Ft Benton with the intention of
driving them over the line to Medicine Hat
on the Canada Pacific railway and shipping
them from there by rail eastward to Chicago
via st. Paul. The necessary papers were
made out showing the herd to be in transit
and were in charge of the company's agent
accompanying the herd. After crossing the
boundary a severe storm came on and the
cattle becoming unmanageable made west
ward for the Mcleod district. On reaching
Lethbridge the custom officers at that point,
unacquainted with the custom in vogue of
shipping American cattle via the Canadian Pa
cifc road, seized the entire herd land although
he was shown the proper papers showing the
herd to be in transit detained them several
days and only allowed them to be shipped
on receipt of the cattle companys bond for
$50, 900. 1t is understood his action will be
the subject of investigation, the Canadian
Pacific company has taken up the matter.
An Ottawa despatch in reference to the fore
going says the customs department has no
official intelligence of the seizure. 1t is
claimed the Dominion government had pre-
yiously been informed that number of
ranchmen in the Northwest have been evad-
ing the payment of duties by driving herds
of Montana cattle across the line. Inspeo-
tors are now on the way to the Mcleod dis
trfot where they will make a thorough inves-
tigation of the observance and working of
the customs regulations

A VENERABLE LADY.

Mrs. Bstsey HI. Post; Mother of Rev.
 spencer HI. Bray of This Cfty-Ome
 Hundred Years Old-A Native of
 meriden-FOrmerly Lived Here.
 Mrs. Betsey H. Post of Rochester, N. Y., the grandmother of Rev. Spencer H. Bray of this city, was one hundred years old yester- day, the 24th. She was born in Herkimer county, N. Y., Sept. 24th, 1786. Her first husbands name was Plant. MT. Plant and his wife moved from Herkimer county to Meriden, Conn, more than seventy-fve years ago, where they resided many years. They also lived in New Haven for three years and resided on York street. One of the dsugh- ters, Betsey H. Plant, was the mother of Rev. Mir. Bray. She was born in Meriden, as was MT. William Plant of Rochester, now seventy five years old. MT. Plant devotes nearly all his time to his mother, who resides with him. Mrs. Bray has been dead thirty six years. Mrs. Post has lived to see her fifth generation.
 There are four generations in MT. Plants home, viz.: Mrs. Post who is one hundred; :; MT. Plant. seventy-fve; his daughter, Mrs. Chettendon, who is fifty, and Miss Hattie Chettendon, aged twenty, who is now visiting at MT. Brsy's. Dr. c. s. Bray, son of Rev. MT. Bray, has 8 QAugnCer aRoQ ten mOnGuS1 nak1uS buo HUI generation. There are also older children of the fifth generation in Chicago Quite re- cently when Mrs Post was in Chicago, there were four generations represented in the family pew at church. Mrs. Post travelled from Chicago to Rochester last January. She made the trip in the usual time and with but little weariness. MT. Bray has recently spent two weeks with his grandmother. She is quite vigorous and retains her mental facul- ties remarkably. Her hearing is good. She is able to read and converses intelligently as she could fifty years ago. Her general appearance is remarkable. Her skin is as fair as that of person fifty years old. There is absent entirely that wrinkled shriveled appearance one would expect to see in person one hundred years old. She has never been sick any in her life until the past year. She has always been a very &C., tive woman and 8 hard worker. But during all these years she has always taken excel lent care of herself. John Wesley said that he lowed his long life first to the blessing of God; second, to the means used" Mrs. Post seems to have walked ip the same path. There are some persons yet living in Connec- ticut, and especially in Meriden, who will be interested in the facts given above. There is one other person, and only one, in Roches- ter older than Mrs. Post. She is one hun dred and one and also very active. MT. Bray has also recently received a Pitts6eld (Mass.) paper containing an account of lady in Pittsfeld also one hundred and one. The paper also contained wood cut of the lady. She is not as youthful in her looks as Mrs. Post. $.

 Friends of G. M. Bartholomew have re- ceived several letters from him dated Mon treal, but so far as learned they contain nothing of importance to the public. The Union Manufacturing company's affairs are not yet fully analysed. It is said, however, that the debts are $500, ,000. If this is so it can meet it's notes by sacrificing its capital stock. Bartholomew had only $500 with him when he left town. MT. Brooks qualified in $25O, 900 as co-receiver to-day.
