turing journal.

We have received the January number
of the Richmond Mercantile and NantJac-
turing Journal, published by Captain
Richard L. Frayser, editor and proprietor
With this issue ii enters on its seventh
volume, and the success ii has achieved Is
substantial evidence of its excellence. Ii
now reaches merchants, manufacturers
and business men in all parts of the
Union, and since It was first established
1t has always fought for the promotion OF
the substantial interests Of the South.
Its editor declares that "it will be the
policy of the Journal during the present
year to maintain its past standard and 10
improve 1t by keeping it fully abreast OF
the modern line of progress. 10 this
way we hope to see our already large
circulation extended, so that it may be
still more desirable for advertisers"
The journal merits success and will no
doubt achieve 1t.

RASHLY UNFORTUNATE.
ANOTHER UyFORTCvATE GONE TO
HIS DEATH
Suicide of Patrick Murray-An Old Man
Whose Life was Bur6ensome Ends 1t.
Fastons a Weight Around His Neck and
Jumps into n Well.

Fastons a Weight Around His Neck and
Jumps into Well.
Yesterday morning the neighborhood
Of Fifteenth and Clay streets was scene
Of intense excitement. When Mrs. Pat
rick Murray, who lives in small frame
dwelling, No. 52l North Fifteenth street.
Just beyond where the bridge crosses
Shockoe creek, returned home from
church, she found that her husband,
whom she had left home sick, was miss.
ing from the house, and had wandered
away somewhere. Knowing his sick
condition. and knowing also that he WAS
liable 10 mental dependency, she b.
came alarmed and Instituted search
for him.
THE SEIGHBoEs o. THE SEARCH.
The entire neighborhood was hunted
over, the neighbors Joining in, but strange
TO say no one had seen him. Not clue
of the slightest character could be dis
covered that would lead 10 his where.
abouts until about 1870 o'clock, three
hours and half after his disappearance
had been discovered.
THE BODY FoUgD.
About that time it occurred to some
one TO look down the well in the yard 10
rear Of the house. On doing 90 II was
thought that hat floating Oh the water
could be seen. Investigation proved II
to be Dir. Murray's hat. This reused
strong and anguishing suspicious. The
we'll was dragged, and in the bottom OF
1t was found the drowned body Of Mr.
Murray.
When the body was brought 10 the
surface IL was seen that Mr.. Murray had
DELIBERATELY COMMITTED SUICIDE.
1t appeared that he had carefully and
securely tied with many knots q rope TO
large piece of granite, and then had
fastened the other end OF the rope to his
neck. In this condition ho walked 10 tie
well, which was twenty-five feet deep,
and with the stone in his hand had jump
ed into the water. The evident inten
ton of fastening this stone to his neck
was to keep the body under water, so
that drowning might be- certain. The
body, as stated, had lain in tho well for
three and half hours, aad might have
been there yet, but for the timely dis
coyery OF the hat.
THE CORONER NOTIFIED.
The Coroner was immediaiely notified
and promptly responded. He carefully
examined the body. heard all the state.
ments of tho family and neighbors, and
came to the conclusion that death WAS
caused by wilful suicide. lie turned the
body over TO his friends for burial.
Ii was learned that the deceased, who
was an old man, having reached eighty
years, was sufferer from II complication
of diseases. among which were eruptions
and cancer, and at times would become
considerably tlighty. the belief is that
1t was during a time Of mental alteration
that the unfortunate man committed ths
deed which brought about the sad ternl-
nation Of his life.

Rabbit. Versus sheep Raising.

Americans have dual reason for con-
cern in the treatment of the rabbit pest in
Australia Upon the abatement of the
pest depends in very great degree the
sheep raising industry of that south sea
continent which plays such an important
part in the wool market of the world, and
what is the pest of Australia today may
threaten large agricultural area in the
United States tomorrow.
Some idea of how sheep raising in Aus
tralia has been interrupted by the plague
Of English rabbits may be gained from the
following facts: At one station in Victoria,
which under skillful management pas
tured 110, 900 sheep, the incursion of rab-
bits reduced the stock to |, 200 sheep found
by the visitor 'dying in paddock at the
homestead" The rabbits had TO account
for the deficiency. All that good manage
ment, backed by abundant capital, could
do had been Intellectual to stay the progress
of the rabbits. They had eaten up and
destroyed all the grass and heritage; they
had barked all the edible shrubs and
bushes, and had "latterly themselves be-
gun to perish in thousands. Chicago

The Decline of the Sailor.

Rather severe criticisms on our navy
are appearing in the English journals.
The critics admit we have as good naval
officers as any. but say that what ships
we have are manned by Englishmen,
Irishmen, Germans, Scandinavians and
negroes. This is true in time of peace;
for first rate American sailor men can
make more than $2i. 80 month ashore.
But once the signal of war comes. and the
promise of prize money and adventure,
and there would be little room for much
OF the poor material now manning the
yards. The great feet that Farragut led
past the Mississippi forts was manned
with Gloucester fishermen-men who, un-
like the average blue jacket, combine a
keen intelligence with strength and dar-
ing.
The day of the square rigger" Is gone
by, for the modern war ship has no sails,
and quick hand at the gun sight and
block, tackle and gearing is more in de-
mand than one that can hand, reef, and
steer. Indeed, it is curious study to
watch how, in the war ship Of today, the
sailor is declining and the engineer and
machinist advancing. Perhaps in the
future the crew of war ship will be com
posed of three classes only-scientists, en-
gineers and coal beavers or oil feeders

The electioneering campaign In America
ought to be most interesting to the English
people for historical. political. philosophical
and economic reasons. The main
question at issue is English free trade
against the Continental system OF protec
tion. The Republic is on trial. Good. con-
-seyvssfve government. under Cleveland, lie
opposed by the rule and ruin party Of Blaine.
whose friends nominated Harrison, and who
would certainly be the secretary Of state
under q Harrison administration. Thus the
American people are directly involved In the
contest through their pockets, which will be
Affected by the tariff. and their future, which
would be seriously Influenced by the restora-
tion TO power OF such q nre-brand as Blaine.
With his home-rule sympsthies and anti
Canadian policy. The American election
is Infinitely more important to English
men than their own Internal politics just
1t this junctnre. and they should observe
every phase Of the campaign closely ana
1nderstsndingly. II is from this point Of
view that the copious dispatches to the SUn-
day Times are cabled. The result OF the
American election will help to decide
many Important Issues in Great Britian.-
