The Prevalence of an Apparent
Epidemic of Suicidal Impulse.
Eight Cases of Suicide in Various
Places in One Day.

In humble apartments in the basement Of
a house on North street, in Middletown,N. Y,
On Monday lay the remains Of an old Prussian
veteran, an associate of Sigel, Hecker, Struve
and other leading spirits in the revolutionary
attempt of 1913. The veteran, whose name
was Frederick A. Bertram, in moment Of
depression took an excessive dose Of laud-
anum and ended his life at the age of seventy
one years
The few main facts known there concerning
his early. history are to the effect that he was
born of q distinguished and wealthy Prussian
family. He received university edu-
cation, became involved in the insur-
rection of 1S48, and was driven into exile
and poverty in this country. He went first
to Reading, Penn, and attempted to earn 9
livelihood by teaching, but was finally forced
to take up the trade Of shoemaker. He
married a German woman there, who sur
wives him. Since coming to. Middle.
town, five years ago, he has sup
ported himself and wife as best he could
BY cobbling and by giving occasional lessons
In German. He sometimes talked Of return
Ing to his native country and making an ct.
tort to recover an estate that was confiscated
Tor the part he took in the attempted revolu-
tion.

The hardships endured by the Hon. Roscoe
Conkling while attempting to make his way
from his Office in New York to his hotel dur
ing the height of the recent blizzard were
treated lightly by the athletic ex-senator;
but the severe exposure resulted In an
abscess in his ear, causing intense pain. The
abscess penetrated to the brain, necessitating
q delicate and difficult operation, by which
the accumulated pus which pressed upon the
brain, threatening rapid dissolution, was
drawn off and momentary relief afforded
Mr. Conkling suffered intensely, and much OF
the time was delirious His wife was con-
slant and devoted nurse and many letters
and telegraphic messages of sympathy were
sent from prominent public and private men
in all parts Of the country.
All hope Of recovery was abandoned at
12h o'clock Tuesday afternoon, when pull
monary oedema, the settling OF blood in the
lungs by reason of gradual heart failure, was
developed, and made it certain that dissolu-
tion was only question OF hours.
The rapid decline, which his physicians
feared, began early in the. day. He was hard
" conscious in the forenoon, and he sank
swiftly into the coma that precedes death,
and he lay for hours with his pulse ris-
ing past counting, until late at night
its faint beats could not be detected, and his
breathing Quickened to intense rapidity.
When at last 1:50 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing his breath left him and he was still, there
were beside his bed his wife, his daughter,
Mrs Oakman, Judge A. C. Coke, his nephew,
DR.. Anderton, and the colored nurses
ARRANGEMENTS were made to bury him at
Utica, N Y, the scene of his early struggles
and triumphs

GREAT LOCKOUT,

1000 Brewery Workmen Quit Work
in New York and Vicinity.
Seventy-nine breweries in which lager
beer is brewed in New York City, Brooklyn,
Staten Island, Jersey City, Union Hill, and
Newark, were closed Monday at noon, in
pursuance Of the resolution Of the employers
to lock out the men unless the men would
agree to recognize in the breweries
no authority but that of the bosses
In other words, it was a lockout Of
the Brewers Union. If the breweries average
fifty employees, there were nearly 1000 men
locked out. It was done in peace and tran
quillity, not an act of violence was reported,
md the deserted and idle breweries were
about as quiet as graveyards. The one
failure to obey the orders Of the journeymen's g
union was in the case Of the engineers. many
