a WOuld.be suicide Snatchcd From
the Brink Of the other side.
A young man who had been creating
disturbance on the streets was arrested and
locked up in the South Minneapolis police
station last evening about o'clock. Two
hours later the jailer found him hanging to
the door of the cell by cord
about his neck. Suspecting suicide at
once the door was quickly opened
and the body cut down. The man was
black in the face and unconscious. The
patrol wagon was sent at break-neck
pace for medical attendance and within
twenty minutes DR.. Kllvington had been
summoned and was applying electricity to
the apparently lifeleSS body. At first the
eighteen cells of the magnetic battery had
no further effect than to produce slight
contraction of the muscles. When applied
TO the spinal cord, however, consciousness
was gradually restored. and within few
minutes the patient was begging to have
the supply of electric fluid that was being
pumped into him cut short.
He was firmly held until the circulation
of the blood had been completely restored
Examination as to the method he had
adopted to take his life showed that he had
taken the laces from his shoes and formed
a moose. He had then tied the end OF the
strings firmly to the grating of the door,
and sitting down on the bench, allowed his
body to drop forward. The strangulation
thus produced had the effect of stopping
the circulation of the blood, and soon
produced uncOnsciouSness, when the
body sank to the floor and was
only supported by the improvised rope. 1t
is thought he had been hanging about ten
minutes when discovered, and only prompt
attention saved his life. He gives his
name as Frank Halper and it is thought
that he is employed as barber at the West
hotel. He is about rs years old, is thick
set. with black hair and mustache. His
neck was badly lacerated by the slender
cord. which cut deep into the flesh.
Humiliation because Of his arrest and i'm
prisonment led him to the attempt upon
his life

the new order of things. A special session

Haryest Home CeIebration.

The annual harvest home celebration oc-
cured at the Church of the Redeemer yes
terday morning and packed the beautiful
edifice from chancel rail to vestibule. The
trophies of the harvest were used to dress
the pulpit and its surroundings in the most
beautiful and elaborate style. Fruits and
vegetables were heaped in ornate piles, and
oyer the pulpit was covering of wheat
and oats, with the word Harvest" set
across in bright red berries. A wheat sheaf
and sickle of carnations set off one end and
a table of luscious fruits the other. Abou
the rail of the organ loft was draped SprgS
of ivy. and in wreath on the organ were
the words. God Giveth the Increase"
The service accorded beautifully with the
harvest scene, and Rev. W. D. Shutter
preached an eloquent sermon on the same
theme. The choir had prepared special
programme of music for this occasion.

All Hi was charged with being gross
cheat by obtaining $11O from Young
Chung under false pretenses on June s,
1885. After hearing the evidence he was
found not guilty and discharged.
c. J. Campbell was charged with as
sault and battery on Geo. Albert on
board the schooner Mary E Foster, on
the 10Th, in the waters of Hawaiian seas.
The defendant is the captain of the
schooner, and the complainant one Of
the sailors. The latter says that the de-
PENDANT struck him behind the ear with
a bolt, and also in the face. A com
plant was made at Waimea, Kauai, but
the Judge refused to take jurisdiction
The defendant was remanded until

the record of the District Court Of
Waimea.

future Hawaiian Administrations are to
be fabricated. The Treasury balance,
when the loan to Bishop & Co. was
made, amounted to $33S, $50 A. This
still left a handsome sum avail
able after the loan. The President
of the Board of Health, the leading
member of the Ministry of the
day, after recording in his report the
excessive mortality among native Ha-
waiians, and the prevalence OF malignant
typhoid fever, presented report by
Hon. Robert Stirling, Superintendent OF
Public Works, outlining a comprehen-
sive scheme of city sanitation. Three
methods were submitted, costing re-
spectively $1O6, 800, $111, $50 and 1884,
800.
Money could not be found for this ne
cessary and imperative work, although
the President OF the Board of Health
said in his report &" something must be
done" But money could be advanced
from the public treasury to the extent OF
| $3.50, 900, without warrant OF -law, to aid
Speculation and expansion which
a cautious private enterprise de-
clined to accommodate with its own
means.'' And what was the result
Through gross negligence on the part OF
the succeeding Administration in 1881,
smallpox was introduced; the native
people died like rotten sheep; 100000
were spent in fighting the smallpox, OF
which sum $23, 900 were stolen for any
thing known to the contrary. This is a
sample of the Independent Opposition
| financial methods.

We promised to refer to-day to the
Government loan to Bishop & Co. 1t is
attempted to be shown by the special
pleader in the daily libel that the Finance
Committee of the Legislature, session
1880, approved the loan of $3.50, 900 to
Bishop & Co., and Endorsed the securities
as sufficient 1t did nothing of the kind,
although it certainly did, in an apologize
kind of way, pass the illegality of the act
by with mild censure, for which the
Gazette" of that day, edited by Judge
Hartwell, took the committee severely,
and in our judgment very properly to
task. There had been too much white
washing of ministerial delinquencies, and
although the whitewash in this report
was thin, still it was whitewash.
The quotations from the report i'll the
daily Iibels defense of the Ministry of
1880 are garbled. For example, it says:
''On page of the General Report of the
Committee on Finance for 1880 will be
found the following Endorsement of the
securities and the action of Messrs.
Bishop & Co.: 1t is proper to state
here that the securities for this loan laid
before the Committee for inspection
seemed fully adequate 4
for the protection of public interests.
4 Your Committee cheer
fully state that as informed by the Regis
trar of the Treasury, Messrs. Bishop& Co.
had, at the date of their examination, on
the 18th inst, already paid into the
public Golfers the sum of $75, 900 in adj
vance of the time of their first obligation,
which does not fall due until the first day
of June prOximo."
This is disingenuous, and does injustice
to the Committee. We shall supply the
full text, printing the omissions in
brackets. The report reads: 1t is
proper to state here that the securities
for this loan laid before the Committee
seemed fully adequate, lin view of an en-
HANGED value of properties for the pro-
lection of the public interests; [but they
must insist upon the anomaly of offering
IS a security for loan of per cent.
bonds of the lender at 8 per cent. for
even so small an amount as three thous-
and dollars.P' Then follows the para
graph acknowledging the payment of
$40, 900 from Bishop & Co.
Now this is very far from being an in
dorsement of the loans when they were
made. The loan was made to Bishop &
Co., by resolution of Cabinet, November 3,
1879, while the report was made about the
end of May, 1880, period Of six months
having elapsed during which property
values improved. The security for one
loan was pronounced can anomoly,"
which was very considerate form OF
criticism.
The sufficiency of Bishop & Co. = guar
antee, however, cuts no figure in the case.
Everyone knows it was sufficient. The
point is that the Ministry of that day ac-
cepted that firms guarantee and per
cent. interest, and issued $250,000 public
money from the Treasury to enable it to
speculate with at from 10 to II per cent
''mostly at the latter rate y as Bishop &

In another place the Finance Com
mittee hit another blot Referring to
the Finance Minister'S statement that he
had difficulty in collecting individual
loans at maturity, and therefore advanced
a quarter of million to Bishop q Co,
the Committee say: ''It will appear
somewhat inconsistent that individuals
who could not meet their obligations to
the Government at per cent found
their relief with a private party at 10 and
u per cent. There was nothing remark
able in that, however; it is explained by
the financial methods of that day, and
Bishop & Co. are to be congratulated
upon converting bad debts into solvent
ones by the aid of the National Treasury.
We have now done with this branch
of the subject, although the financial
misdoings of the Ministry in question are
not nearly exhausted. Enough, how
ever, has been stated to show that it is
not of such timber as it contained that

by several Ministers.
Special Correspondence of Gazette and journal
ELKToN, March 4.-The temperance
anniversary last night was well attended.
The Rev. J.. E. Bryan was presiding
officer. Prayer was offered by the Rev.
Virgil Green, after which the Rev. E. H.
Hynson was introduced. He spoke
forcibly and at considerable length. He
argued that moral suasion, had failed in
successfully fighting the liquor traffic, the
the strong arm of the law should be
invoked, and in order that it be invoked
and upheld afterwards, society should be
educated. He argued against high
license and in favor of prohibition.
He was followed by the Rev. r. w.
Todd, who excused himself for reading
his address, by stating that owing to
illness he had had small opportunity for
preparation. Owing to the rather late
hour he passed over part of the argu-
ment prepared, and began with the prop
osition that the United States government
must stop the liquor traffic, it will sub
vert the government, and destroy the
liberty of the people. The liquor in
terest had become wealthy, and a

both the old parties in their grasp, as had
been shown, at the last Democratic and
Republican conventions, where the tenn
perance people had been turned down.
The temperance men should stand up for
their rights and vote as their consciences
dictate. He spoke favorably to the pro-
posed prohibitory law in Cecil county,
which forbids the sale of cider as well as
all other intoxicants. He did not consider
the present law, which allowed the sale
of cider, as a prohibitory law. He was
frequently greeted with applause.
The Rev. A. d. Davis of Caroline
county, testified to the good effects of the
prohibitory law in that county, which
worked splendidly excepting along the
Choptank river, where liquor was sold
from boats. The Rev. @. f. Sheppard
moved that Mr.. Todd's address be printed
after which the meeting adjourned.

The funeral of Miss Maggie Barlow,
daughter of Henry Barlow of Gruhb's
Corner. Brandywine hundred, took place
on Sunday, and was attended by a vast
concourse of people. The cortege moved
from the Barlow home to Bethel NJ. E.
Church, of which deceased was menu
Der. She was also connected with the
Sunday -school and the greatest sorrow
was manifested by the scholars, all of
whom knew and loved her. Over 200
carriages we're in the funeral procession,
and the church could contain only a
small portion of the people. The Rev.
Samuel Hance, the aged Christian warrior,
opened the services and the Rev. Mr..
Layfield followed with touching eulogy
upon the dead girl, whose high Christian
character and triumphant death were
such characteristics in her life and final
moments.
