A Young Woman Makes Several Deter

While the ferry boat Chicago, of the
Philadelphia ferry line, was making her
way to her pier at the foot of Exchange
Place in this city, yesterday afternoon, q
plainly dressed Young woman made dash
for the guard rail. A gentlemen standin g
near saw that she intended suicide, and
seized her. She struggled violently to free
herself. shouting meanwhile:
II told him I'd drown myself, and IN
tend to do it !"
Deck hands and other passengers went
to the aid of the rescuing passenger and
she was finally subdued. The boat had
not made her slip, however, before the
woman made break for the guard gate,
but was restrained after another struggle.
On the arrival of the boat in this city she
was given into the care of officer Shelw orth.
At the police station she refused to give
her name and was committed to the de-
tention room. In few minutes she was
observed tying her handkerchief into slip
knot. It WAS taken from her and she was
kept under guard. Later in the evening

TIE NAME TO BE CHANGED.

The Sunday Tartler to be Known as the
Sunday Morning News.
The proprietors of the SUNDAY TATTLER
have decided to change the name of the
paper to the
Sunday Merning News.
We axe satisfied that the name of the
paper las stood measurably in its light,
and that many persons who are preJudiced
against it by its name. would patron
ize it under another title. The change
in the name will be effected as soon
az it is possible to do it under
existing statutes, without sacrificing the
official stains the newspaper has acquired.
The determination to change the name was
made at too late an hour last evening to
take legal advice as to the steps necessary
to enable rs to make the change legally;
but it will be made at the earliest moment
practicable. We are informed that gen.
eral law, passed four or five years ago,
made it necessary to apply to the court for
an order making the change. An act
passed last winter provides that ga change
of name in any newspaper shall not affec,
or in any way invalidate the publication
therein Of legal notices" If this last act
covers all the classes of legal work the
SUNDAY TATTLER does, the change will be
made at once. We have the Judgment of
a very sound and accomplished lawyer that
the term sHegal notices" covers all classes
of city, county and state work, and We
have no doubt that IL is correct. At the
same time it may be safer for us 10 await
the order of the Court; and it is possible
that, even If the act of last winter enables
MS to make the change safely, we may
make assurance doubly sure by fortifying
ourselves with an order of the Court.

A Rumor that Governor ALBEIT is to be
Married Again.


A dispatch from Spring Lake, where the
family of Governor Albeit is stopping,
announced last night, on the authority of
a lady in high social circles, that Governor
Albeit is to remarry The lady who is to
be the copartDer of his joys and sorrows
in the future, is, according to the dispatch,
Mrs. Sharpsteen. widow Of the late Paris
member of the firm of Arnold, Constable
& Co. The lady has lovely little daugh-
ter, five years of age, who will, when she
comes of age, be worth million in her
own right. The lady herself is the pos
SCISSOR Of large fortune. The engage
ment has just been made, so the dispatch
declares, and the further information Is
vouchsafed that the marriage will not take
place this season, and that the date of the
wedding has not been definitely decided.
Gentlemen connected with the TAT1LER
learned, on inquiry at the Governors
house on Sussex street last evening, that
all the family are away at the seaside. The
servant girl who opened the door laughed
incrodulously when asked whether she had
heard anything about the coming wedding.
Private Secretary Willard Fisks was next
sought, and it was learned that he too is
away in the country. The reporter next
called at the residence of Governor Abbett's
brother-in-law, Mr.. Briggs, on Grand
street. Mr.. Briggs was out, but his mother
in-law was at home. Asked whether she
had heard of the marriage, she admitted
that she knew Mrs. Sharpsteep, but denied
that she had heard anything about the
rumored nuptials
Another gentleman who is close friend
of Governor Albeit, said to the reporter
last evening that the firm of Albeit &
Fuller are attorneys and counsel for Mrs
Sharpsteen, and that they settled up her
husbands estate and are now engaged in
looking after her property. The lady is
handsome and portly, somewhat inclined to
embonpoint, and forty or forty-fve years
of age.

Noonan, said . You're a nice fellow. You
hheat me out of two weeks salary"
g can't help that, replied Mr.. Noonan,
"You must remember that I'm the Demo
cratic clerk of Democratic board and
could not reasonably favor you as against
Mr.. Kelly
The only important change that may be
made is in the jailorship. Both sides are
confident and Freebooter Laws is certain
that a Republican will be elected.
It. is knotty problem to say the least.
Scbinzel and Schaumloefel are both, it is
said, for Govern for jailer. It is also said
that one Republican has pledged himself
to vote for Democratic jailor. Another
report is that there are two Democrats
not Schinzei or Schaumloefel-who favor
a certain Democrat for jailer. aud if
he can't get it they have pledged
themselves to vote for Republican. The
Demo crats / in the race, who have any
chance at all. are Govern, Sheeran and Bob
Davis, with the x-Direetor-at-Large in the
lead. The Republican fght tor the jailor-
ship is interesting in the extreme. Hank
Van Horn is without question the best
candidate they have, bat he has aroused
antagonisms in the camp that may injure
his chances materially. Billy Let's, it will
he remembered, is the only Republican
member who boIted the caucus to
bounce Kelly. He is a good friend
of Kelley's it is to be sure, but he is a
stauncher friend of the ex-County Clerk,
and he will vote to throw Kelly over board
the moment he can win enough votes over
to Van Horn to secure his nomination in
caucus. This action on the part of Let's
has aroused much enmlty against Van
Horn in the Republican camp. Dan Kill
burn seems to be the leading candidate in
the Republican race for jailor.
There will, no doubt, be some cha nges
for cause in short order among the I'm der
keepers in the county institutions at Sn axe
Hill, but inst whose heads are coming off
cannot be learned.

The Bremen Fighting Furious Flames
 in a Fierce Gale of Wind.

BUFFALO, Nov. 1s.-A most disastrous fire occurred here at 2:30 o'clock this morn ing in the large building corner of Hanover and Prince streets, occupied by G. N. Pierce & Go cage manufacturers. The fire had gained great headway before the department got to work and spread rapidly, crossing Hanover street to the building occupied by N Wolff, dealer in sheepskins, hides and tal- low; A. F. Weppener, wholesale provisions; Sidney Sheppard & Go. s tinware works, and Wallace Johnson's building, which was par tially burned some time ago. The flames spread eastward through the block and soon reached the Buffalo printing ink works and bid fair to go through the block to Main street. The flames were so fierce that the 6remen were forced out of Hanover street and compelled to fight the fire from only one side. The wind blew perfect gale off the lake and had it not been for the rain which was falling and aided the efforts of the fire men the block must have been destroyed. At 4:20 the fire was partially under control and confined to the buildings above men, tioned. Loss $200, ,000.

 SEDALIA, Mo, Nov. 1S.-A most remark able case of stubbornness terminated at the Pettis county poorhouse yesterday. Nine years ago a colored woman, Sarah Anderson, became almost crazed with anger one day at the keeper of the poor farm. So wild was she in her rage that she was locked in her room alone and left to mediate until the following morning. At that time the keep CT entered her apartment and found her in bed. She was not i'll, but she refused to arise. Days. weeks, and months passed, but never once did the woman leave her bed un- less dragged therefrom. The medical frater- nity visited her, and without exception pro- nounced her perfectly well, but she remained in bed. Last spring she was taken really ill. She fingered until yesterday when death came. She had remained in bed nine secutive years because of fit of anger.
