SUICIDE IN PUBLIC.
A Big Crowd in Chicago Sees an Old Man
Dash Himself to Death.

Big Crowd in Chicago Sees an Old Man
Dash Himself to Death.
CHICAGO, April "a, 1sS9.-One of the
most bloodcurdling scenes ever witnessed
here was the suicide Of James Hogan,
aged sixty-five years, last night The old
man was crazy, and had been drinking
hard all day.
He was living at the Spain Hotel, on
North Clark street. Shortly after ten
O'Clock he climbed to the roof of the fourth
story building with the avowed intention
of committing suicide. Every time anyone
would start after him he would run to the
edge of the building and swing himself
over. Then he would hang by his hands
until his pursuer would retreat through
the skylight. Then he would draw him
self back and walk up and down the
roof.
Finally Policeman Kalvaelege was
called and after failing to persuade
Hogan to get back into the house, sent for
patrol wagon. The wagon was manned
by Policemen, Cook and Murphy. The
former crawled up through the skylightto
attract the old mans attention, while
Policeman Murphy climbed up the fire
escape from the outside. AS soon as
Hogan saw Policeman Cook, he ran to the
edge of the building, and without saying
a word, swung himself over, holding to
the edge of the building by his hands,
A crowd stood below in breathless silence
Suddenly the old man loosened his hold
and dropped backward His feet struck
a sign over the third story window and
his body turned complete somersault,
his head striking the pavement The
mans brains were scattered for ten feet
in every direction and his head and body
were mashed into pulp.

MAUsELL TO Be TRIED TOMORROW


A Motion to Quash the Fourteen Indict-
ments for Forgery Denied.
The trial of William Mausell, the
Assistant City Clerk of Hoboken, against
whom fourteen indictments for forgery
were found, was set down for today, but
was postponed until tomorrow A large
delegation from Hoboken was early at
the Court House. Among these visitors
were eX-Mayor Kerr, Mayor Grassman,
City Clerk MeDermott, Assistant Col
lector Alberts, Councilman Erlenkoetter,
Comptroller Carpenter, and Contractor
Plunkett
Counsellor DAILY appeared for Mausell
and made a motion to have the indict-
ments quashed for two reasons. The
first was that some of them were for
crimes alleged to have been committed
more than two years ago and which for
that reason were outlawed. He also
claims that the indictments charge him
as having committed the forgeries as a
clerk or official of the city of Hoboken,
which he claims is illegal and contrary to
the statute and common law. Counsellor
DAILY admitted that Mausell could be in
dicted as an individual, but declared that
the indictment as city official ought to
be quashed.
His second point was that Mausell could
not be indicted for committing forgery
and at the same time for aiding and abet-
ting in forgery.
Prosecutor Winfield insisted that the
indictments should all stand. The Court
agreed with the Prosecutor, and perem-
torily ordered the trial to go on tomorrow

Investigate the Street Contracts.

A Committee to Ask the Grand Jury to
Investigate the Street Contracts.
An Indignation meeting of residents of
the Third district was held last night in
Germania Hall, and an association was
formed for the purpose of compelling the
Boards of Finance and the Board of
Works to do their duty, and compel the
sewer and street contractors to carry out
the terms of their contracts:
Mr.. Martin said the Seventh street
sewer had not been cleaned in thirty
years, and that he sent communication
to the Board of Works calling lts attehtlon
to the fact, but no notice was taken OF 1t.
Residents of First, Second ana Ihlrd
streets said the water from the Second
street sewer was flooding their cellars and
the dirt from the streets was blown into
their houses through the windows.
Mr. Doherty said he examined the con-
tract of Henry Byrnes, the contractor, for
cleaning the streets, and, under it, every
street should be cleaned before the 1st of
NAV, and all the cross streets once a
month afterward, while Newark avenue
should be cleaned once q week, and Jer-
sey avenue and Grand street twice each
month.
A committee was appointed to bring the
matter before the Grand Jury Another
meeting will be held to hear the reports of
the committee.
