ANOTHER SUICIDE Following close
ly upon the recent murder and suicide
at Colfax came the surprising INTEL
igence Wednesday that VIM. McCloud
had ended his earthly existence with his
own hands early that morning. The
deceased was living temporarily on the
well-known Bryant place, five miles west
of Pullman, with his family, and on the
morning mentioned arose at about five
o'clock and started the kitchen fire, as
was his custom. He then left the house,
though but partially dressed, remarling
that he wouldn't be gone long; but, as
the time passed on and brought no sign
of his return, Mrs McCloud became I'M
easy and began a search about the prem
ises. Her husband was in poor health
and subject to spells of vomiting, con-
sequent upon chronic dyspepsia, and she
feared that, as was sometimes the case,
he might have tainted during one of
these attacks. Not finding him in the
immediate vicinity, the search was ex-
tended to an old storage barn about one
mile from the house, and there the fam
lily were horror-stricllen by the discov-
cry of the ifeless body Of the missing
man suspended by the neck from one of
the overhead beams. The neighbors
were Immediately notified and hastened
to tho spot. Investigation showed that
McCloud had walked to the barn in his
stocking-feet, picked up and knotted to-
gether several pieces of old lace-leather,
such as is used in betting, had fastened
ono end of this cord to the beam and the
other end around his neck. To reach
the beam he had been obliged to mount
upon the feed table Of separator stored
in the barn, and having thus adjusted
matters to his satisfaction, he deliberate
ly stepped off the table and hung sus-
pended by the neck. The leather, how
ever, broke with the weight and he fell
to the ground. He then secured some
pieces of strong sacking twine and with
these and the leather succeeded in MAX
ing a cord sufficiently strong to bear the
strain. This time his step from the
feod-table was step into eternity, sure
enough. The neck was not broken by
the fall-death had resulted from strang-
ulation. The body was left as found
until the arrival Of Justice Lobaugh, of
this city, when it was taken down and
an inquest held. The jury (Messrs. T.
L. Hunt, R. Lanning, John Siuires, E.
and NJ. Bryant and Jno. Morrison made
a careful investigation, but no light was

thrown upon the cause of the suicide,
unless it could be attributed to the de-
ceased's bad health. There had been
nothing observed in his actions to indi-
cate such an ending. Mr.. McCloud
came here last spring from Canada, and
had recently built residence on Grand
street, into which he was intending to
move the present week. The shock to
his family and acquaintance caused by
this sudden and unexpected event can
be better imagined than described. The
funeral services were held Thursday.
Disastrous CoLLIsIoN-The morning
freight on the Pennington branch of the
0. r. & r. broke in two as it was de-
ecending the long hill at Colfax yester-
day at about o'clock, and owing to the
fact that there were no air-brakes or
brakemen on the cars that staid by the
engine, the engineer teiS unable to con-
troll his speed. The heavy frost also made
it impossible to use the locomotive brakes
successfully, and the big engine entered
the yard at rapid gait, striking tho
rear end of the Pullman train that was
just about to leave, telescoping into the
baggage-car fully two-thirds of its
length and throwing the passenger
coach into the ditch. Luckily there
were but very few persons on board the
Pullman train, yet the damage was con-
siderable. The fireman of the freight,
whose name we did not learn, suffered a
severe fracture of the skull, and at this
writing there is little hope of his re-
covery. The engineer saved himself by
jumping. Prof. ~. A. Nelms, of the
Pullman school, and his wife, were also
injured, the lady so seriously that it is
feared she will die. Conductor Barnes,
of the Pullman train, had his knee-cap
knocked off

sively that more persons die from
diseases of the Throat and Lungs
than trum any clher. II is probable
that every one, without exemption,
receives vast numbers Of Tubercle
Germs into the system and where
these germs fall upon suitable sill
they start into life and develop, at
first slowly and is shown by a slight
tickling sensation in the throat and
if allowed TO continue their rayages
they extend to their lungs producing
Consumption and TO the head, caus
ing Catarrh. Now all this is dar-
gerous and if allowed to proceed will
in time cause death. At the onset
you must act with promptness; al

The real objection of the Democ.
racy to the abolition of the internal
revenue system is not that it would
deprive the Government of any need
full income, but that it would abolish
a large number of Offices which just
now afford comfortable board and
lodging for Democratic spoilsmen.

Call a Halt at Once.

Garrett county, like Dorchester a
couple of years ago. is to be dra-
gooned, because majority of her
citizens voted the Republican ticket
last fall. A bill has passed the House
of Delegates to curtail the fees of
Garrett officials, and another empow-
ering the Governor to appoint her
school commissioners, because ma
jority of the bench in that judicial
district are Democrats. who dare to
think for themselves, while still an
other measure is pending to place in
the hands of the Governor the ap-
pointment of the county treasurer.
Several years ago in Dorset the ap-
pointment of county treasurer was
in board of commissioners, because
Democrat dared to defy the man
ayers and secure a majority of the
votes of the county for that office,
and now, because cOntumacious
board of commissioners retains the
same gentleman in office, the dra.
gooning process is to be applied to
undo the laundering work of the
managers. How pitifully small and
contemplate all of this is No state
In the Union, that has not for years
been ground down under the heel of
political clique, would for minute
submit to such petty indignities. DO
the people of Maryland propose to
look on supinely while county after
county is stripped of every yestage
of self.government to satisfy the
malice and rapacity of these political
brigands ? Is it not time that Mary
land manhood was coming to the
front to call a halt on this outrageous
system of reprisals? Is every mans
mouth in the state to be closed who
differs with the Democratic manag-
ers concerning the sincerity of their
intentions and the beneficence of their
policy Baltimore Anerica0.

new assessment law may possibly be
hurried through at the tail.end of the
session, but all the other important
interests will be made subseryient to
the efforts of the managers to deceive
the people with regard to their inten-
tions. 1t is necessary that an i'm
preston should go out ito the state
that majority is anxious to pass an
honest registration and election law,
but is divided uDon..--details. To
make such an i'm preston there must
be a bitter sham battle over the pro-
visions of the bill. This will con-
sumo so much valuable time that
there will be no opportunity for the
proper consideration of other impor-
tant measures. This is not forecast
for party to be pround of. Chick
ems generally come home to roost,
and those who allowed their pre-.
judices to get the better of their judg-
ments last fall will probably have to
chew the cud of disappointment

times assuages sorrow. The Ameri-
can can only say, with regret, 1--WE
