Finding a British Cutter at Anchor With

View and Escape.
BANGOR, Me-, June 4.-The Canadian dar-
ing cutter General Middleton sailed into
she harbor of Eastport the other day flying
all her colors, anchoring on the British side
of the campo bello, and closely watching
the Eastport boats. Mr.. Young,
prominent packer and boat-owner, went
on board and asked the commander if
Eastport's boats were to be seized if they
went in the morning as usual for fish. The
reply was: I'VE are waiting for full in
structions from Ottawa. But" he said,
Ooking sharply at Mr. Young and shaking
his head in significant way, ''you had
better not go on" After consultation with
others it was decided if the weather was
good to attempt to get the usual supply.
The next morning was clear. with

BLOODSHED IN IRELAND.
The Orangemen Attack the Nav
vies in Belfast.
The Outcome of the Home Rule Move
ment and Religion.

BELFAST, June 4.-The Orange workmen
employed at the Queens Island Ship Yards
here to-day attacked the navvies employed
by the Harts, or Commissioners, and after
overpowering them and beating them badly
drove them into the water. 1t was with the
greatest difficulty that the injured, ex-
hausted and struggling navvies were res
cued. The Orangeman made the as
sault because the navvies, it is alleged,
had previously attacked some Loyalists for
aspersing the home rule movement In
tense excitement prevails among the local
Catholics in consequence of the attack.
The Orangemen numbered two thousand
and the navvies one hundred. A repeti-
tion OF the historical riots is feared. Po-
icemen,- fully armed, are patrolling the
city, and the military are held in readiness
in the barracks. Thirty Catholics were in
jured, and twelve were taken to the hos
pitfalls. The body of James Curran, one of
the navvies, who was missing for time,
has been recovered. He was the sole sup
port of his widowed mother.

ACCIDENTAL POISONING.
How to Get Rid of Poisonous Snbstanc,
inf

How to Get Rid of Poisonous Substances
as0uickly as Possible.
If you have swallowed a poison,
whether laudanum, arsenic, or other
poisonous drugs put a teaspoonful of
ground mustard in glass of water,
cold or warm, stir and swallow quickly.
Instantaneously the contents of the
stomach will be thrown up, not allow
ing the poisonous substance time to be
absorbed and taken in to the blood
AS soon as vomiting ceases, swallow the
white of one or two eggs, for the pur-
pose of antagonizing any small portion
of the poison which may have been left
behind. Let the reader remember the
principle, which is to get the poison out
of you as quickly as possible.
There are other things which will also
serve as a speedy emetic, but the ad-
vantage of mustard is, it is always at
hand, it acts instantaneously, without
any other medicinal effects. The use of
the white of an egg is that, although it
does not nullify all poisons, it antago-
nizes a larger number than any other
agent so readily attainable But, hav-
ing taken the mustard or egg, send for
physician; these are advised in order
to save time. as the delay of twenty
minutes often causes death.-Halrs .

Duel from Wauons.

OAKLAND, ILL, June Yesterday morn
ing at seven O'Clock Ben Mason and Geo.
Scott met in the public road one mile
north of Hynesboro and opened fire on each
other with revolvers. Both were in wagons.
Mason fired first, but missed. Scott fired
three times, and each shot hit. The first
penetrated Mason's right arm, fracturing
1t SO that he dropped the revolver. The
second entered the right cheek and came
out of the left ear. The third entered the
stomach, ranging downward. Scott went to
Tuscola and gave himself up. Mason was
taken to a neighbor's, when all the bullets
but the one in the stomach were probed out.
From the latter wound he will surely die.-
Both men are prominent citizens of Douglas
County. Mason is worth 5000. Some
time last fall they traded horses, in which
Mason claimed he was cheated. Bad feel
ing ensued. Each had threatened the other
and the neighborhood, though excited, was
not surprised at the fatal end of the quarrel

PECULIAR SUICIDES.
An Insane German Whose Ambition

An Insane German Whose Ambition It
Was to Cruelty Himself.
One of the evils inseparable from the
modern general diffusion of all sorts of
news is the encouragement of criminal
imitation. 1t was long noticed that pc
culiar crimes are apt to be copied, and
that this is especially the case in regard
to suicide. Most readers probably re-
member the story of the grove of trees
which Napoleon caused to be burned be-
cause it was found impossible to prevent
the soldiers from hanging themselves in
it. A similar story is told of a military
sentry-box. 1t was found necessary to
build cage over the gallery at the top
of the London monument, because it
had become favorite place for suicidal
plunges. A similar reputation attached
! for many years to Waterloo bridge in
London. In France, some years ago, a
foolish young couple, saturated with
Rousseauism, fastened themselves to-
gether with gay-colored ribbons and
| threw themselves into the Seine. The
idea took, and for time this mode of
suicide was quite the fashion. Statistics
show that the average number of sui
cides remains tolerably constant in pro-
portion to population, though it no
doubt rises when some widespread con-
vulsion disorganizes society. But the
ways of committing suicide change, and
people not only exercise choice in the
matter, but are Influenced in selecting
the mode by the recent occurrence of
any striking events of the kind.
1t is true that no imitator has vet
been found of the insane German whose
ambition it was to cruelty himself, and
who with an astonishing perversion of
ingenuity contrived an apparatus by
which, after fastening his feet and nail
ing one hand to the cross-piece, he was
enabled to hoist the heavy cross out OF
the window and exhibit himself to the
whole town suspended from it. That,
however, involved too much labor, and
suicides usually desire to shuttle off this
mortal coil as eaeily as possible. Speak.
ing roughly, it may be said that women
prefer drowning, and men hanging. OF
course, many Of both sexes take poison.
In France for long time asphyxiation
by charcoal gas was popul r with the
poor. The last reported French suicide,
however, seems to have been suggested
by one of Cherbuliez' novels. A car,
penter in Belleville killed his lady-love
and then himself. The double suicide
had been agreed upon and its method
settled deliberately. The details were
somewhat different, but the general
plan resembles that of the hero and he.

rel. ;" The resemblance in fact is sc
close that we should think the event
calculated to make M. Cherbuliez feel
rather uncomfortable, if he is particrl-
larly sensitive, though of course no real
responsibility can be predicated in such
a matter.-N. Y. Tribune,

entrance to the grounds with carriages con-
venient to follow the President in case he

reported to the President, SO he instructed
his driver to go out of the grounds by
another and almost unused route, and in
that way he avoided the reporters alto

the Baltimore & Ohio railroad station where
a special train was in waiting to take the
President and his bride to Deer Park. They
were escorted through the station and into

twelve inches long, fully charged and
operated by clock-work, was found under
the sidewalk in front of Thomas Grief's
saloon, No. A West Lake street, yesterday
by Lieutenant Browler. The works were
going when the officer discovered it, but he
lifted it very tenderly and took it to the

the officer that the machine was left there

Socialistic tendencies, who for months
