New YoRE, March lS.-Littls Charles
Monka, the 7.yOar.oId son Of Peter Monks,
who lives near the inclined plane Of the
Morris Canal in Bloomington, MI, did
something on Monday that he knew
would procure him q severe whipping
when hls father heard OF It. When his
mother talked to him about II ho said he
would kill himself, She did not think he
meant i. This morning she saw him
going into the barn with rope, and asked
him what he WAS going to do. He said
no was going to make swing. Not see.
ing him sgRin for fifteen minutes, she
went out to the barn to look for him.
The barn door was fastened on the in.
side, and this caused her mind to revert To
his threats She pounded on the door and
screamed until neighbors came. The door
was broken open, and the child was found
hanging by tue neck from crossbeam
and swinging 10 and fro violently. An
overturned water pail was still rolling on
the floor, showing that the child had
kicked II from under him when the door
was attacked. He was cut down while
still alive, and was extremely sorry for
what he had done.
The little rascal begged hard that moth.

was purple and red mark encirCled his

In the course Of his remarks he referred
to the West Virginia Senator's speech as
the most powerful argument that could be
made In behalf OF the Presidents position.

that the Gould strike is nearing an end,
The resumption in this city OF suburban
passenger traffic, without interference
from the strikers, is looked upon as q

fully and in their favor. This, together
with the announcement that Receiver
Sheldon, Of the Texas Pacific Railroad,
has agreed to submit the question OF the
justice Of the discharge Of Hall at Marahall,
Texas, to arbitration, warrants the belief
that the strike ia nearing an end.
The early suburban trains departed on

these trains, No attempt has been made
