A woMAN's MISERY.

Mrs. Jane Whitcomb, formerly a Welt
known Resident of Minnesota, Makes
Three Desperate Attempts at Suicide in
Europe.
A Mail and Express cable from London
says: Gan American, Mrs. Jane Whitcomb,
has met with heavy losses at the gaming
tables Of Monte Carlo, and has made three
desperate attempts at suicide. At first she
tried morphine, of which she took a very
large dose, but fortunately, her condition
was discovered in time and she was restored
to consciousness and her life saved. Peo.
pie were sent to keep guard over her to pre-
vent Il second attempt oil her life, but she
evaded her watchers and opened a vein in
her arm with the purpose Of bleeding to
DEATH. Again she was detected, before a
fatal result was obtained and was restored.
Finding it useless totry to prevent repeat
ing her efforts, the proprietor OF the hotel in
which she lived, for the sake of the reputa-
ton Of his house, requested her to leave
the hotel. She did so and went at once to
Cannes. She had scarcely arrived there
when she threw herself into the sea. She
again failed, however, to accomplish her
aim, and was rescued from drowning. SEe
has since been placed in an asylum as the
only reliable means Of keeping her from an
other and perhaps sensational attempt at
suicide.
Mrs. Whitcomb's maiden name was Jen-
ME Smith. She was born in Beaver county,
Pa, about 1916, her parents being in
moderate circumstances. In the latter
part OF 1865 she came to Rochester, Mimi,
and took a position as teacher in a private
school conducted by the Presbyterian de.
nomination. This position she held until
1869, when she was married to
O. p. Whitcomb, at that time q
large farmer OF considerable means.
In the fall OF 1872 Whitcomb was elected
state auditor, andinJune, 1873 took up his
residence in st. Paul with his wife. Several
reasons are assigned for this, one being
that she was accustomed to play little
tricks upon him, which, although lone in
a playful manner he took seriously.
During the time elapsing from January
1872 to 1876 matters grew constantly
worse, until Whitcomb finally told Gen.
Sanborn that he could no longer live with
his wife. Mrs. Whitcomb was informed
of this decision, and received the
ment with load expressions OF grief. The
result was chat an agreement
was drawn up and signed by both, the
terms OF which were that the wife should
leave her husband a tonce and remain away
ever afterward, he to pay her an allowance
OF $l25 per month. This agreement vas
at once carried out, and from that time on
Mrs. Whitcomb spent most OF her time
travelling in Europe.

Important telegraph Decision.

The case OF the Western Union Telegraph
against the st. Paul d Dwuth
railroad and the North American Telegraph
was decided in the district court
at st. Paul, against the ~plaintiff. Judge
Bril-, rendered the decision. He ordered that
the plaintiffs motion for a preliminary in
junction be denied, anil the order to show
cause be discharged. In the memorandum
accompanying the decision J Judge Brilisays:
All railr oadsin the United States are post
roads, and the provisions 81 THE act oil con-
gress for July "a, 1884. render it imposei-
bic for any person or company to obtain
in any manner the exclusive right to build
or maintain q line of Telegram b along any
road. Any company which brings itself with
in the provisions OF this act may build and
operate a line OF telegraph along any rail
roads in the United States upon acquiring
the usual right OF way, Notwithstanding any
state legislation or contract to the contrary.
lam ofthe opinion that the contract in this
case does not purport to grant the exclu-
sive right. 1t does not SO expressly pro.
vide By its terms. nor is such the necessary
Implication. The contract may be gwen
effect without constituting it to be q grant
OF exclusive right. and from the nature OF
the case it is manifest thas the plaintiffs
right shouiln be extended by unnecessary
im~plication. and this view OF the case is
equally fatal to plaintiffs application.

A Cold Day When the House
Gets Left.

Globe Democrat.
At the Christian Brothers school,
in Washington, the son Of three Unit
ed States Senators and OF half d dozen
Representatives are receiving their
education. They are all youngsters,
ranging from seven to twelve years Of
age. But they seem to have acquired
neutrality-suspicious. ofthe relative rights
OF the two branches of Congress. The
Senator'S sons stick together and af-
feet to look down on the Representa-
tives' sons. The latter are only too
ready to fight for their rights. Natur-
ally, the result is seen in frequent
scrimmages. The latest Of these oc-
cured between Eddie Kenna, son Of
Senator Kenna, of West Virginia, and
Johnnie O'Neill, son of the st. Louis
Congressman. Mr.. O'Neill's seven
year-old came home with an air Of a
boy who has had the best Of it. He
eonfided to his fatfser's secretary the
details, with the conclusion: Eyer

Germany, should the latter make an at

was reorganized, France could now cope
successfully with Germany. 1t il true that
France can put a total OF 3,7oo,Ooo men,

Judge Pollard.

Judge Pollard has been wofully ma
ligned by his political opponents in this
Territory and in Indiana, but he has,
nevertheless. in every Montana court
room in which he has taken the bench
won high praises from lawyers, litigants,
iuries and the public as a man learned IN
the law, quick and ready reasoner, an
expeditions manager of judicial business.
These are strong qualities in judge and
attributes that only occasionally center
in one man. Judge Pollard evidently
made enemies in his law practic in In
diana and they awaited their opportunity
When he was nominated judge they
raked together every discoverable item
of his history that could be twisted into
an unfayorable light and gave the result
to the public and to the United States
Senate. This effect has been to seriously
imperil his chances for confirmation. II
he is not confirmed 1t Clearly appears by
abundant testimony that Montana will
lose good judge and one who may not
be satisfactorily replaced The first ju'
dicial district was annoyed for years
with Judge Conger's incompetency; than
there was an interval of no judge; finally
that estimable old dotard, Coburn, was
sent to them and at last got rid OF; then
came Judge Pollard and it is not surpris'
ing that they are 10th to part with his re-
freshing sense, alertness, learning and
attention to business.-Independent.

A Fatal Accident.

A little after six o'clock last evening a
train of eight double deck cars of sheep,
belonging to Messrs Moule. Wait and
Hedges left Billings for tee east. L. G.
Howell, a cattleman of the Judith
country, went with the train. When the
train pulled out, it was observed that
several ofthe men were hanging on the
outside of the cars, and the conductor
ordered them to get into the caboose.
When the train was about six miles out
it was discovered that one of the upper
decks was sagging down, and the train
was stopped for few minutes for repairs.
The men returned to the caboose, but it
was noticed that Howell was not there,
and supposing that he was somewhere
on the train, no futher stop was made
until Huntly was reached. Then the
train was searched, but Howell was not
found.
The hands on Nos. IL and Is were
instructed to look out for him. but
though they looked over the whole line
from Huntly to Billings they didn't find
the man. The sheep train was then side
tracked at Huntly, and the engine and
cahoose started up the line. Mr.. Howell
was found about four miles west of
Huntly, lying among the rocks, upon
which he had fallen head foremost. He
ives quite unconscious, and his head was
terribly cut up. He was brought to Bill
lings, and now lies at the Headquarters
Hotel, under care of DR.. Parker He is
still unconscious, having sustained a
severe conclusion of the brain, and prob
ably more or less fractured of the skull.
It is feared that he cannot recover.
1t Is supposed that he was on the side
ola care using his prod pole among the
sheep, and that he was thrown off by
his pole catching in a bridge, near which
his body was found.
Mr.. Howell came to Montana six
years ago, and during that time has not
SEGA his wife he left at Rochester. n. X.
He intended on getting the sheep to
Chicago, to proceed to Rochester, and
bring his wife back TO Montana. His
wife has been telegraphed for, as well as
friend in Chicaeo.--Gazette
