HIS MURDERoUs HAND PoWERLEss.
George a. Fish Kills Himself to Avoid Be
coming an Assassin.

A New Britain Comm telegram SAYS:
George A. Fish. a member of the Young
Mems Christian Association of Bristol and
a compositor in the Office of the Bristol
Press, committed suicide in that village
this morning by shooting himself in the
region Of the heart with a revolver.
He was twenty-five years old, was Of
steady habits, and stood well in the COM
munity. The townspeople were at a loss
10 understand the motive which led TO the
crime until the following letter, which was
found on his person. was made public:
A statement for the press in general
should they choose TO use it, As IS usually
the case when a suicide occurs, some reasons
must be given for the deed. Either the
suicide must make deposition or the
general gossip will endeayor 10 do 1t for
him.
In this instance prefer to make my own
statement. which Is as follows;
First eXonerate from blame all persons
with whom have been associated.
Second-It is done without the know
ledge of any one. and in doing it | consider
that am doing what is best for myself and
for the community at large.
Third-For several months, over year.
in fact, have been laboring under "a great
difficulty. Something al times takes pos
session Of me. and it is only by cXerting all
nv will-power that | am able 10 keep from
committing crime. A desire to kill. rend,
OF damage that is becoming hncontrolla-
bic seizes me. prefer TO put myself out
of the world in this manner than % bring
some disgrace upon my people and friends
by killing some one and dying upon the
scaffold. ! do not know whether I am in
sane or not, but Of this | am positive. Tn
less ] end my life in this way shall eyentu-
ally become insane. All will-power is
leaving me and crime stares me in the face.
70 all friends | bid a last farewell. May
God have mercy on my soul.

HIS ADVICE TO A BEGINNER.
Edwin Forrest Told the Young Actor 4
study Nature and Character.

Edwin Forrest was the best actor in the
country to give young actor advice" said
an old-timer in a Hayward-Place German
restaurant recently. The Herald man was
curious for an illustration of Mr.. For
rests goodness, so he ordered another
and asked the old-timor if he would
not tell the story. The aforesaid old
timer pulled down a brunette cuff.
tipped back his chair, ran his hand through
his wavy locks of black hair, and told
his story. II was with Forrest when was
younger man than | AIN now" said he,
" and respected him mere than i did any
actor | ever met. Not only was he grand
actor, but he was good man. Forrest,
know, was gruf man, but he had a heart
as tender as a woman's. Were il not for q
woman the chances are he would not have
been so gruff. But we all have our disap-
pointments in this world, and they generally
change us for better or for worse, often
times for worse.
But to get back where we started.
Forest was always ready 10 give young
fellow lift and start him of in the right
direction. II young fellow acted as
though he were not afraid Of him Forrest
was as kind as man could be. We re-
hearsed one morning in Washington. The
play was Metamora,' the scene that of

in the left upper corner of the stage.
Metamora asks for his accuser (the Indian
who betrayed him). The call-boy had TO

Nathaniel Montgomery subscribed for
the Pittsburgh Gazette in 1856, paying his
subscription with bushcl of rye, a bushel
of potatoes. and a wild turkey. After his
death his son continued TO take the paper,
so that the name of Nathaniel Mont
gomery. father and son. has been cOntin-
uously on the books of the office for 10}
years. The Pittsburgh Commercial G0zcte
of to-day. however. does not receive wild
turkeys on subscription.
The twenty-three Hebrew congrega-
tons on the East Side" says a New York
paragrapher. "whO brought Chief-Rabbi
Joseph from Poland that he might tell
chem the correct Hebrew rites and OBJ
aervances and see that they lived up to
them, have sent him up TO Saratoga 10 see
American life in its gayest aspect and to
drink the waters. For fear that the kOcher
butchers of Saratoga who supply the He
brew boarding would not listen 10
him the congregation has sent upa butcher
with the Chief Rabbi"
Senator Jones. of Nevada. has made an
other stroke in Southern California. Some
time ago, as he began To recoup his for
tunes. he gave Mrs. Jones a considerable
sum Of money to invest III her own right.
She bought property in Southern Califor-
MIA which now turns out 10 lie above a rich
Pacific coast, in which all the great dis
coveries of gold have been made. The
mine could now be sold for II 900 900. but
the lucky Senator Will put in a hundred
stamp mill and take out the gold himself.
T.. j. Jaurez. one of T.. II. Shepherds
leutenants at Batipolas, Mexico. is in this
country. He says: The man whom YOU
call Boss" Shepherd Is occupying very
much the same position down in Chihua-
hua, but his bOssism Is very acceptable to
the people of Batipolas. When the Gov
ernOr came to our town 20 take charge of
the mines the place had a population Of
less than five hundred and sorry lot they
were Now We have population Of over
six thousand hardy, prosperous citizens.
The company managed by the Governor l.
now operating over sixty mines. So far
as Bose Shepherd is concerned you can
say that he is all right, and will be back III
a few years with several millions III his
pockets"
The Quakers' testimony" to John
1t has the quaint old phraseology adopted
generations ago. 1t Is "a testimony from
the Lancashire Monthly Meeting. which
sends it, "To the power and goodness of
God as shown in the life aud services of
John Bright, member of Parliament" After
stating in sentence his birth and
death. it says that Divine grace
enabled our friend John Bright to be
a true minister of Jesus Christ in
the remarkable line of service to which
he was called" 1t details his taste for
study. his deep sense of responsibility in
the sight of God, and his intense human
sympathy" his love and reverence for the
Scriptures and his simple habits. diligent
attendance at Quaker meetings and loyalty
to the dead statesman, it testifes fully to
his worth among his own people.

HALlEAX,S FLOOD.
The Most Disastrous Ever Known.
Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l


SorrrH BosToN, Va, August ALMOST
another food, comparatively speaking. has
visited Halifax county. The steady and
heavy rains Of the last two days have made
all the streams, rivers. and creeks rise far
above the last freshet and nearly approach
the unprecedented one of 1877. The Dan
river at South Boston rose until the angry
current struck against the bridge, and
much uneasiness has been felt that this
costly and valuable structure would be
swept away. SO far, however, IT has stood
strong and firm. BapnisteT river was cor
respondingly high and tumultuous. The
bridge across this river at Halifax Court
house was half filled with water six or
eight feet deep. So far this bridge also
stands. The inability of communicating
with other sections makes il impossible TO
tell what destruction has been wrought.
Low-GRoUND CROPS RUINED.
II j. known, however. that all the low
ground crops of corn have been ruined.
Also. large portion of the oat and grass
crops. which had not been hauled from
the low lands. The tobacco crop has also
been most diSastrously affected. The con-
tinued and heavy rains have not only dis
solved and washed away the sustaining
properties Of the fertilizers used. but have
also made it impossible TO cultivate the
crop. a large portion of which has been
resigned 10 the weeds. From ali sections
of the county il is conceded that the
freshets in the Dan, Hyco, Bannlster, and
all their tributaries are the most disastrous
ever known, so far as Halifax crops are
concerned.
