SALAD FROM SALTWATER.
W0uld-Be Suicide Ward Is Very Weak,
But Will Live.
MARRIED FIFTY YEARS.
Street Commissioner Butler Will Not
Have WalkoVer---Pris0n City
Pickings.

Edward Ward, who attempted to COM
NIT suicide in his cell at the state prison
Sunday, is in the hospital, rather weak
from loss of the vital fluid, but not seri-
ously injured. The wound was across
the throat. and not near the jugular.
Hospital Stewart Hall thinks that about
quart of blood escaped from the wound
before the boy was discovered. Ward
is quite young, became Respondent and
wanted sympathy; but the prison Off
Gals are not inclined to believe that he
did not intend to make fatal cut. To
his mother, who lives in Chicago, Ward
had during the day written most duti-
full and hopeful letter, giving no init
nation whatever of suicidal intentions.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Clymer will to-
day celebrate at the residence of their

One of the aldermen yesterday in
formed the GLOBE that Street Commits
siOner Butler would find a competitor
for the Office in the field this evening
when the council elects city officials,
but the alderman refused to name the
aspirant, saying that the latter thought
it the better policy to lie very low until
the decisive moment, when he expects
to paralyze Mr.. Butler. The new can
didate is Republican,. though it is
understood that he counts on the sup
port of Aid. Goodman. who was elected
on the Democratic ticket. Something
of tusSle is apt to occur over the bust
ness of choosing an assessor.
