j. +. Noros, OF IT, Payne, Tenn, q
travelling salesman, committed suicide,
by taking poison, at Chattanooga last
Thursday. Mr.. Noros is well known In
Wheeling and vicinity, He was here
about a year ago, at which time he
formed a business engagement with the
Elson Glass Company, OF Martins Ferry.
He was as fine a looking specimen Of
manhood as is often seen, indeed, ok,
ceptionally so. He went on the road for
the Elson, and for u time seemed TO
prosper and do well, but early in the
past spring he went on q debauch at
Chicago, and descended to the lowest
depths. When he was finally caught up
and he realized TO a certain extent his
condition he wrote a letter to d gentle-
man with whom ho had had business
relations, in this section, In which he
uttered pitiful expressions OF disgust
with himself and expressed the fear he
would never be able to reconcile himself
and would seek solace In the grave, 1t
was at this time he resigned his position
at the Elson and started for his home at
Mobile, Ala. In q short time afterwards
he took an overdose OF morphine, with
the evident intention OF suicide.

Edwin Arnold on Irish Politics.

On being asked at Boston to give his opinion
of the present condition Of English politics,
with special reference to Mr.. Gladstones pol
icy, Sir Edwin Arnold said: "For Mr.. Gladstone
personally have the greatest generation. We
are the best of friends, and look upon him as
a truly remarkable man. Politically, am his
opponent and critic.
Il am always attacking him and exposing his
fallacies. l think that he is wrong in his posi-
ton on the Irish question. L don't like to
speak of this, for the people of this country
have been greatly misinformed on this subject,
and would have, perhaps, little sympathy for
my position. Furthermore, l believe that Mr..
Gladstone knows in his heart that he is wrong
and that his reason for going over to the Irish
side was purely political one. He
wanted to strengthen his party, and by that
means make himself the leader of parliament.
He thought that by championing the Irish
cause he could WIN to his support the eighty
six votes of the Irish members and at the
same time retain his old liberal following by
the strength of their devotion to him. He
won the Irish vote, but many of his old sup
porters. among them Joseph Chamberlain and
Lord Harrington, fell away from him.
Il believe that Ireland will never have sepa-
rate parliament from England, but that the
union will be preserved"
Sir Edwin Arnold was 10th to express for
publication his opinions on the Irish question
and with regard to Mr.. Gladstone he empha-
sized the fact that he had the deepest feelings
of reverence and respect for him As his friend

AN ARTIFICIAL FLOOD.
A Tidal Wave Produced to Float Out
Logs.

At Williamsport Pa, yesterday a big food
was produced in the west branch of the Sus-
quehanna to float out many hundreds of logs
stranded along the banks and shores of the
islands. The order was given to break the
temporary dam at ~ o'clock Sunday night, and
two minutes later there was a crash, followed
by terrific roar of rushing waters. line of
lanterns that had been strung along the comb
OF the dam suddenly disappeared, indicating
that the entire structure had given way in
stantly. The water poured over the perma-
nent dam, on top Of which the splash" dam
and gradually increased in volume as the IL
miles of pent-up water got fairly in motion. In
a few minutes a rise of feet and inches &C.
Cured in the river below the DAM while the
water travelled down the stream like a small
tidal wave, sweeping everything movable on
the banks before it.
The rise became apparent at Muncy, nearly
twelve miles away, about O'Clock, and in an
hour the river there was sixteen inches higher
than before the dam was collapsed. The
splash lessened in volume the further it
travelled. 1t continued to run about four hours
giving plenty of time for the log drivers TO do
their work. Splash" dams are common in the
smaller streams, but it is seldom that they are
ever resorted to in the river. As the river at
Williamstown is over one thousand feet in
width the erection of such dam required a
great deal of lumber, nearly all of which was
carried away when the dam was broken. Fully
LOCO, 900 feet of timber had been driven into
the iack-slips at Muncy. Another dam will be
built next week to reap the benefit of another
'sspiash"

CITY AND DISTRICT.
A MIDNIGHT ASSASSIN.
n woman Summoned to Her Door and
Shot IN the Shoulder.

In Perce's court southwest near South Capt.
tol and streets lives a colored woman named
Mary Brooks. Last night Mary and her hus-
band retired about 10 O'Clock During the day
she had had . quarrel with q colored man
named Andrew Ashton. She had forgotten all
about the matter, but Andrew had not. IL was
about midnight when some one awakened Mary
by vigorously hammering on the front door.
she arose and, throwing q wrap about her
shoulders, went to see who her midnight visitor
was. When she turned the key and opened the
door she saw man standing there. who she
supposes was Andrew Ashton. He had a re-
volver In bis hand. and before Mary could dis
appear in the darkness he pulled the trigger and
sent the bullet into her left shoulder.
She screamed as she fell TO the floor supposins
she had been fatally wounded The bullet
passed through the shoulder and came out
through the heshy part OF the arm. Police
men Cook and Sanford soon appeared at the
house and sent Mary to the hospital. They
then searched "Bloodfeld" for the would-be-
murderer but failed TO find him. This is the
first shooting case that has happened in Blood
field IN a long time. Since the establishment
of the patrol system in that precinct the
roughs in that section have not been so bad,
because they could not escape before the ar
rival Of the patrol wagon
