SUICIDE OF A PAINTER.
William Norrsh Found Dead in His Room
with a Bullet-Hole in His Head.

William Norrish painter, employed at the
Panhandle shops, and occupying room in the
building on the south side of Ohio street, just
west of the canal, committed suicide yesterday
morning, about 10 o'clock. by shooting himself in
the head He had been out to the canal at 8
o'clock. and was seen wading in the water. AZ
terward he returned to his room, and soon after
the other occupants Of the building heard noise
which they took to be loud slamming of door,
Some of them passed the room several times,
and, the door being slightly aiar, saw the man
living on his bed, which had fallen
through to the floor the night before,
apparently asleep. In the afternoon
a little girl went into the room and ran and told
her mother that Mr. Norrish had blood on his
head It was then found that he had committed
suicide. The ball had penetrated the brain
above the right ear. The remains were taken
in charge by Flanner g. Hommown. and a tele-
gram was sent to Norrish's brother, whs is enc of
the proprietors of stove factory at Moline, Ill.
The dead man was about thirty years old, and
was unmarried. He had made no threats of
suicide, so far as known, and was a temperate.
industrious workingman He had been sick
lately. and this perhaps. caused the deed. He
was very peculiar individual. seeming to care
little for other people and having little to say to
them.

MUST MAKE MONTHLY REPORTS.
The County Treasurer Cannot Deprive the
City Of the Use of It's Own Funds.

The decision of the Marion county Superior
Court in the suit Of the city against County
Treasurer Miller to compel him to make
monthly reports of the receipts and dsburse-
ments of the city funds was affirmed by the Su-
preme Court yesterday. Miller contended that,
under the provisions of the Winter bill, making
the county treasurer custodian of city funds, he
could not be required to make any disburse-
ments out of his receipts on ac-
count of the city until after max
ing his annual settlement with the
county auditor on the third Monday
of April The effect Of this has been to deprive
the city of the use Of its own money, and force
it to borrow to meet current demands. The Su-
preme Court holds that it was not the intention
of the Legislature. in the enactment Of the law,
to put the municipal taxes out Of the reach Of
the proper city authorities, or ''to make the
city, with its own money in the hands of the
county treasurer, borrower of the funds needed
to maintain its fire department, or for police or
sanitary purposes, until the treasurer makes his
annual settlement with the county auditor"
The court thinks that the Legislature never
contemplated any such results as these in the
enactment of the statute, and says that to give
the statute such a construction would obstruct
the improvement of the city, and lead not only
to possible but to actual injustice.

A MURDER CASE AFFIRMED.
The Trial of Samuel Archer, in Martin Coun-
ty, Sustained by the Supreme Court.

The case against Samuel Archer. convicted Of
completely in the murder of Samuel A. Bunch,
was affirmed by the Supreme Court yesterday.
The appeal was made on the plea that the court
that tried Archer had no jurisdiction in the
case, as the crime for which the prisoner
was ipdjcted was committed in Orange
county, the murdered man having been
seized near his home in Martin county and car
ried to Saltpetre Cave, in Orange, where his
body was rdded with bullets and afterwards
burned. Archer was tried in the Martin Circuit
Court. and is now under sentence to hang at
Shoals on July 9. The Supreme Court thinks
the circumstances surrounding the crime unite
very strongly in proving that the Selling and
binding of Bunch were q part of a
previously arranged plan, and we're the
initial steps in the murder. The
crime which eliminated in the death of
Bunch in the cave in Orange county was single
one, although composed of several elements. and
the acts done in Martin county were not distinct
criminal acts. but were parts of one crime, con-
sumated in the adjoining county. The decision
affirming the sentence 10 based upon an Indiana
statute, providing that, when public offense
has been committed partly in one county and
partly in another, the acts or effects constitu-
ting requisite to the contamination of the offense
occur in two or more counties, the jurisdiction
is in either

cessions demanded. The workmen said that
very few of the most skillful employees earned
over IS to $l2 per week, net They ridiculed
Mr.. Coopers statement The strike was ordered
by Andrews Assembly of the Knights of
Labor District Master Workman Lewis
said last night that the men would
stay ont until the proprietors made some
concessions. No further conference had been
held during the afternoon looking to q settle
ment of the difficulties. The local executive
board of the Knights of Labor alone could order
the men back to work. No opposition would be
offered to the employment Of other men If the
firm chose to do so. The Knights had detailed
nine men to guard the factory night and day and
see that no Knight did any injury. Three OF
these men were constantly on duty. More than
this Mr.. Lewis declined to say.

family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is

OF failing health, whether in the form OF
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a
sense of General WEAKNESS and Loss Of
Appetite, should suggest the use OF
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeebled system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation Of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.
