DETERMINED TO DIE.
A Man BrOoding Over Expulsion from
the Knights Of Labor, Ends his
Mortal Existence.

A most determined and peculiar case OF
suicide occurred at Davenport yesterday.
Louis Schmidt, aged IS, and a cooper by
trade, while in fit of dependency over
expulsion from the Knights of Labor,
hung himself. The Gazette of this morn
ing, describes the extraordinary case:
He arrived home to dinner shortly
after 10 O'Clock, after working all the
morning al Bremer's cooper shop where
he is regularly employed. His wife pre-
pared his dinner. but he did not seem
inclined to eat, and hung his head in a
istless sort of way, as though i'll. His
wife asked him if he was sick, He
answered that his head hurt After din
ner he walked into the front room where
he usually laid down on the bed and took
nap after dinner. A short time after
ward one of the children went into the
room and said her father was asleep
whereupon Mrs Schmidt went in TO
cover him up so he would not take cold
He was not on the bed and the room
being rather dark she did not see him at
first. Then she discovered him at one
corner OF the bed on his knees and with
his head hanging down. She saw rope
around his neck and devining what had
happened, screamed for help Mrs
Peterson, who lived next door, but in the
same building, rushed in and together
they loosened the rope and lifted the
body to the bed sending Immediately for
doctor DR.. kulp was Just passing and
was called in but found life already ex-
tinct. The position of the body when
found showed that Mr.. Schmidt must
have been very determined in his desire
to end his life He had used piece of
bed cord which he tied around the top
of bed post not more than four feet
high, and then adjusting moose around
his neck had deliberately thrown his
whole e;ght on the rope while in kueel,
ing posture until strangulation had
occurred. Few persons would have the
tenacity of purpose to 60 through the
pains of strangulation during the long
time before death comes and it mus
have been a strong cause which could
have pushed him to it. The only caus;
which Mrs Schmidt knows Is that ht
was expelled from the knights of labor
Organization This, she said, had work
ed upon his mind making him seen
reserved and gloomy. He brooded oyel
the matter continually and when Spoken
to and checred up by his wife would say

treatment by the knights of labor. Still

Ferguson Elected in the Fifth
by Democratic votes, and

in the Second.
A QUIET ELECTION.

The city township election yesterday
passed of without incident, and the re-
suit is most satisfactory to the democrats,
who elected their entire township ticket.
On the aldermanic ticket they were not
so successful, combination of uufsvor>
able circumstances serving to divide the
party to the benefit of the republican can
didates. Had the democrats remained
united two more aldermen would certain
ly have been secured, aud the township
ticket would have received larger ma
jority, An opposition to the aldermauic
candidate naturally caused IN unfriendly
feeling towards the township ticket by
the gentleman who was being scratched
and his friends. But the recalcitrants
did not appear to bestow thought upon
the success of the township ticket, so
completely were they absorbed in the de>
sire to defeat certain aldermanic aspir>
ants. From the opening to The close of
the polls in the Fifth ward, strong and
determined warfare was wagcd against
Alderman Cavanaugh but notwithstand-
ing The cross-ti fire 10 which he was sub
jected, he and his friends stood gallantly
by the straight democratic ticket. as the
vote will show. While he received only
1865 votes, Supervisor Aster got 1877 and
J. F. Rosenfield 214 Aster's majority
is ia in the city, IL of which he received
in the Fifth. Had Mr. Cavanaugh re
taliated on the township ticket for the
fight on himself, he could have turned
more than enough votes IN his own ward
to have defeated Mr. Aster. Ia the

Reduced Rates for Conventions.

The railroads west of Chicago have
adopted new plan for carrying out their
policy of granting reduced rates, on
certain occasions, to delegates attending
large meetings and conventions. This
new plan makes it necessary for the per
son who is delegate to a meeting for
which reduced rates have been granted.
10 procure from the ticket agent of whom
he purchases his ticket for the point at
which such meeting is to be held, a re
ceipt for the amount of fare so paid.
This receipt, when filled out and counter
signed by The secretary of the convention,
becomes Il certificate, which, when pres
scented to the ticket agent BY the person TO
whom it was originally issued. will en-
title such person TO return ticket at
one-third the regular fare, provided re-
duced rates have been granted before

As no benefit can be derived from such
reduction in rates unless this plan is fol-
lowed. our readers will do well to beal
this in mind
