The election passed of quietly and was
without special incident, the vote being
as large as might he expected at a spring
election. The opinion was current dur
ing the canvass that the democrats were
sure of an easy victory for their candidate
for the Office OF mayor, although II was
given out that Barker was making a rous-
ing campaign I'm the First ward and was
sure Ia carry IL. All sorts of inducements
were offered by the republicans in hope
of securing a majority in that ward and,
according To all accounts, Mr.. Barker fan
cied he could carry il. However, the re-
turns give Mr.. Walker n majority of Ill i'm
the First, n figure larger than his most
ardent supporters had counted on.
Walker carried every ward in the city by
safe majorities and came out of the fight
with a total majority or 26s.
Alderman Shovlin made a fine showing
I'm the First ward and Mf. Martin a first
rate score in the second. The democratic
ward ticket was seriously cut in the Third
ward, while the Fourth was the scene of
n hot contest between Clark and Johnson,
the result being n majority of % for O
son, the republican candidate. Both can
didatcs are i'm excellent standing with
their ncighbors, hut the railroad vote Is
particularly strong i'm the ward n II
proves to be a little too much FOR Mr..
Clark. The result gives To the democrats
the office Of mayor and six of the eight
members in the board OF aldermen.
Al all the polls in this city the election
passed Oft quietly. Good order prevailed
everywhere. The Australian ballot was
used and the limited number of candi-
dates on the ticket made il easy for every
voter to put the cross after he right
name. The count was easily made and
the results for the city and ward tickets
were announced nj an early hour last
evening. Congratulations were general
and then everybody in Anaconda wanted
TO know how the fight yer in Butte.
The returns from that city were prompt
ly received and when at length Il was
learned that Ia Missoula the democrats
had scored a big victory the rejoicing be-
came general. Every democrat wanted
the national capital Ia know what had
happened in the spring elections in the
mountains. Several dispatches were sent
from this city To the national capital last
night.

Frederick Werner, an Old Man, Hangs Him.
self to Tree in Allegheny-A South
slider Indulges in Paris Green-He May
Recover-Supposed TO be Insane.
Some philosopher has remarked that dark,
rainy days are conducive to suicide. 1t
rained yesterday. and one man took his life
by hanging, and another made similar at
tenn pit with paris green, but the stomach pump
thwarted him. Whether it was the weather
or innate cussedness, or some other cause,
that is responsible, will more fully appear,
and each man who reads the accounts must
judge for himself.
A telephone message was received at the
Allegheny Mayors Office last night about 8
O'Clock, stating that an unknown man had
committed suicide by hanging on the place
of II. NJ. Boyle, on Perrysville avenue, near
Charles street, and that he was at that hour
still hanging from the limb of tree, not
yet having been cut down, Patrol wagon
No. was sent to the place at once, and
Officer Mike Babilan cut him down, with
the assistance of Officer Weber. The body
had been first seen by Mr.. George Comley.
The suicide was a well-known character
of Allegheny, Frederick Werner, whose
home is at 63 Third street. He was 20 years
of age, married and had grown up family
OF several daughters anu sons. fOr the
past 20 years he has traversed the streets OF
Allegheny with a wheelbarrow, peddling
vinegar. He was nicknamed Essex" by
the small boy, and was known by that name
by many who were not acquainted with his
proper name.
The manner of his death was in placing a
doubled twine about his neck, the end being
wound about the limb of tree some eight
feet from the ground. The man must have
stood upon the ground to adjust the fasten-
ing and after securing it to the tree lifted
his feet from the ground and strangled to
death.
John Lall, a young man % years of age,
attempted to end his life by swallowing a
dose of paris green yesterday evening and
was in critical condition at late hour last
night at the Southside Hospital.
He was discovered in an unconscious con-
dition in an clubhouse, but by a vigorous
use of the stomach pump his senses we're
soon restored. He gave no reason for his
act, but those who know him best say his
mind is unbalanced.
Lall is the son of farmer in Lower st.
Clair township, and for a number OF years
was employed in the machine shop of Jones
& Laughlins' mill.

THEY PREDICT A BIG MAJORITY INTHE
NEXT HOUSE.


Springer Alleges That the New Tariff Bill
Will Not Benefit the Farmers-The
Duty On Eggs Put in to Help Ex. Presi.
dent II. b. Hayes.
WASHINGTON, May 1o.-After the read
ing of the journal, the House went into
committee of the whole, Mr.. Grosyenor. of
Ohio, in the chair, for the further consider
alton of the tariff bill. Mr.. Lanham, of
Texas, in speech generally critical of the
measure, urged the Importance ofreciprocity
with Mexico. With a proper policy on the
part of the Government, the United States
could defy the efforts of Germany and En-
| gland to control Mexican commerce. He
especially antagonized the feature of the
bill which places a duty on silver lead ore,
declaring that it would have the effect of de-
stroying the smelling industry of Texas
and neighboring States. To place duty
on Mexican ore would be to invite retalia-
tory legislation on the part of Mexico, and
to close Mexican markets against the
products of this country.
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, opposed the bill.
He denounced the granting of bounties on
sugar and raw silk and then in a facetious
manner proceeded TO point out the benefit
which would enure to the farmers of Illi-
nOlS from the provisions OF Ine law. CAB
bages now were taxed 10 per cent ad va
loren. 1t was now proposed to tax them
cents head. According to the agrlcul-
tural reports, no cabbages were imported at
10 per cent. How many would be imported
at an equivalent of 90 per cent? Laughter.
This was for the benefit of the Illinois
farmer. [Laughter.l After ridicullng the
imposition of duty on eggs as measure of
protection to ex-President Hayes, who had
gone into the chicken business, he
reviewed the free list, and declared that the
American hog was Disseminated against, in
that brIstles were placed on the free list,
while high duty was placed upon wool.
Was it for the benefit of the Illinois farmer
that his sleek, fat hogs were placed on an
equality with the razorbacks of Mexico?
Laughter.) The Democratic party was
ready to meet the issue rendered in the
bill; and he predicted that the House in the
Fiity-second Congress would have Demo-
cratic ma jority of so. In 1892 there would
be Democratic Congress pledged to repeal
this bill if it should become law.
Nh. Dingley, of Maine. supported the
bill, and Mr.. Barnes, of Georgia; Mr.. An
drews, of Massachusetts; Mr. Cummings, of
New York, and Mr.. Brickner, of Wisconsin,
opposed it. The committee then rose.

STOCK NOT WORTH A PENNY.
INSURANCE COMMISSIONER TALKS OF
THE AMERICAN LIFE.


Something May be Saved Out of the Wreck
Been Suspended Until the Investigation
Is Completed.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
PHILADELPHIA, May 1O.-The Amer
lean Life Insurance Company to-day sus-
pended In accordance with the writ of quo
warranto issued on Friday at Harrisburg
by Attorney General kirkpatrick, service
OF which issued upon the officers of the COM
Pany was by mail. The writ, as already
published, was issued at the instance Of
insurance Commissioner Forster upon in
formation of the unsound condition of
the company, resulting from an ex-
animation of its affairs by Mr.. George
Iompklns, who was employed by the
commissioner for that purpose. Although
the doors OF the company's offices were open
to-day as usual, no business was transacted.
The only occupation of the clerks was the
telling to the many callers that the company
had suspended operations until the argu-
ment at Harrisburg upon the writ. When
premiums were rendered by policy holders,
the money was not taken. Note was, how
ever, made of the tender by che holder of
policy of su ch and such a number, in order
by reason of the enforced suspension.
Since the publication of President Mac
Farlane's financial transactions the whole
business OF the company has been, it was
stated. under the control of the Finance
Committee of the board. But President
MacFarlane and Directors Pfeiffer and
DUNCAN, who are respectively President and
cashier OF the broken Bank of America,
compose majority of the committee, and
the control of the Finance Committee has
been simply the control of the syndicate,
under which, according to the Insurance
Commissioner. the company has become in
solvent, its business has been fraudulently
conducted and its assets are reduced lar be,
low its liabilities. President MacFarlane
said tonight that the action of the Attorney
General was unexpected. He declined to an
swer the question whether the assets of the
company have recently been changed by
substituting bad securities for good.
A dispatch from Harrisburg says: Insur-
ance Commissioner Forster said tonight
made to him that the American Life Insur-
ance Company would be dissolved and
receiver appointed, who would see that the
policy holders of the company would get
what was left of the financial wreck. AS
to the stock of the company it was not worth
penny, and ne wished the affair extended
no farther. Examiner Tompkins is eI-
pected to finish his report of the questionable
operations of the company, next week, and
ex-Deputy Attorney General Gilbert, of this
city, has been retained as counsel for the
American Life.
