A Hoboken Woman Curses Policeman
for Cutting Her Down.

Policeman Tietjen, of Hoboken, was
standing at the corner of Third and
Grand street at two O'Clock this morning
when an excited individual ran up and
informed the policeman that his wife had
attempted suicide and was hanging to
the bedroom door. When Tie1jen asked
him why he did not cut her down he said
that he wanted to see her die.
Tietien made all possible haste to the
place and found everything as stated. A
pretty woman, apparently about twenty
five years of age, was suspended by q
clothes line from the bedroom door and
was frantically gasping for breath. The
officer instantly cut her down and she
soon revived.
When she had thoroughly recovered
she cursed the officers for saving her life
and threstened to drown herself. She
started down stairs with the intention of
carrying out her threat but was stopped
by the policeman and brought to the STA
tion house when she gave her name as
Mary Spiegel.
When Sergeant Rathjea questioned her
as to why she wanted to take her life, she
said that her husband made her life un-
bearehie, that he would lock her in q
room and beat her She said that she in
tended to sail for Germany with her child
but could not get enough money together
and had decided to take her life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Speigel have been mar
ried little over year and have one
child. They were a handsome couple
and the neighbors speak we'll of them.
Spiegel seems to be indifferent as to the
fate of his wife. She is held on charge
of ATTEMPTED suicide.

SIMULTANEOUS SUICIDES.
How a Pair of Unhappy Lovers Left Thi
Earth.

New YORK, Sept. 1S.-A strange double
suicide occurred here at daybreak
this morning. At that hour Gustave
&. Koch, a well known crayon artist
ascended the steps to the Canal street
station of the Fourth-avenue elevated
road. He walked to point in front OF
asecond-story window of No. l40 Canal
street, nodded to and said: "Yes,I
have come Emile; are you ready?"
The answer was not heard. but Koch
drew revolver from his pocket, and
shot himself in the head, dying in
stantly. As he fell there came what
seemed an.echo of his shot from the
direction OF the window towards which
he had looked, and in few minutes a
messenger came running, saying a
woman had shot herself at 140 Canal
street.
Investigation revealed the fact that
Emile Ross. an actress, aged 10, lay a
corpse in the bed in her room, with a
bullet in her heart. She was attired in
night robe, with a bunch of hello
trope pinned to the bosom. 1t was evil
dent that she barred her bosom for the
fatal shot, for the garment was un-
scorched. here was nothing to show
the cause of death, except little red
spot over the heart, with hole in the
middle, for not drop OF blood flowed
from the wound. Death evidently was
instantaneous, as in the case of Koch.
1t was evidently prearranged that they
should take themselves out of the world
together. The gill had evidently made
every preparation for the event. On a
chair by the window lay her clothing,
carefully smoothed out. She had been
writing, and the table was covered with
small sheets of paper filled with her
thoughts as she sat waiting. Her writ
ing was neat feminine hand, and did
not appear to be in the least tremulous.
They were lovers. The cause of the
taagedy is supposed to have been the
opposition of the girls mother to their
marriage.
Emile Rossi had been on the stage
since babyhood. Her father and mother
lived in Berlin. He was an italian tenor
singer of note. but is now dead.
The girls mother, who is still
alive. is German writer and
novelist. The mother ambitious for
her child, hoped she would make a
good marriage. The girl came to this
country two years ago, and played a
prominent part in the Amberge theatre
company.

was manufactured scare. 1t had been
gotten up by the brokers-by the bulls
and bears, and various kinds of ami
mails who practice their trade in the
exchanges of New York. There was,
he admitted, great demand for money
now for moving the cotton and grain
crops, and perhaps to pay for an in
creased quantity of foreign goods i'm
ported in order to evade higher duties
under the new tariff law. All these
things, Sherman said, would settle
themselves in little while. There was
no really serious financial disturbance
in the country. 1t was confined to the
city of New York. He thought the
secretary OF the treasury should be per-
mitted to use his discretion.
After further discussion, Plumb S
resolution was agreed to.
The vice-president announced having
signed the river and harbor bill.
The calendar was then taken up, and
the following bills, among others, were
passed: House bill to amend the arti-
cles of war relative to punishment on
conviction by court-martial, senate bill
to provide for the inspecting OF live
cattle, hogs and carcasses and products
thereof, which are subjects OF interstate
commerce; senate bill to revive the
grade lieutenant-general of the army of
the United States senate bill for the
relief of women enrolled as army nurses,
allowing $l2 month to women who
have for six months rendered actual
service in any regimental camp or gen
eral hospital, and who are unable to
earn their support; the pension to com
mence from the date of filing applica-
ton after the passage of the act.
The senate then adjourned.

Is Politics CONTAGIOUS?

Politics seems to run in families; polit-
ical talent seems to be transmitted. The
Adamses, Bayards, Breckenridges, Freling-
huysens, Pickerings, Pinckneys, Quincys
and Randolphs indicate this clearly. There
are many instances, too, of prominent pol
iticians of the same kin, in the same gen.

inshield, of Massachusetts; James M. and
Robert S. Garnett, of Virginia; John A.
and James G. King, of New York; Arthur
and Francis F. Lee, of Virginia; Jonathan
D. and Isaac N. Morris, of Ohio; Charles
G. and Thomas Pinckney, of South Caro-
lima; Caesar and Thomas Rodney, of Della
ware; John and Hugh Rutlege. of South
Carolina. Cynics might say that politics,
like any other virus, once getting into the
blood, is very hard to expel, and taints

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-There was a
scene of excitement on the Republican
side of the house this afternoon. The
Virginia election case was unfinished
business, but the house itself engaged
in the technical proceedings of trying to
approve yesterdays journal. The Dem
ocratic members endeavored in every
way to prevent the consideration of the
election case, and in pursuance of this
policy almost all of them left the hall to
break the quorum. On the question
of approving the journal call was
ordered, which brought in number of
Democrats and yeas and nays
vote was being taken on a
motion to dispense with fur
ther proceeding under the CALL
when the Democratic members again
began to decamp.
Burrows called the speakers attention
to this, and asked if members present
could not be obliged to remain.
The speaker replied that the rules
were intended to secure this end; he
did not see why they were not observed.
Accordingly the assistant doorkeeper
was directed to see that all the doors
leading into the hall were locked.
Hardly had this been done before
Representative Kilgore, of Texas, pre-
sented himself at the door at the speak
er's left hand, and sought to 60 out. He
found the door locked and the door
keeper in charge.
Hayes refused to unlock it.
"UnlOck that door" demanded the
stalwart Texan.
The keeper moved not; whereupon
Kilgore gave sudden vigorous kick,
and the frail baize structure flew open
and Kilgore strobe out. He was fol-
lowed, in about the same fashion, by
Representatives Grain, of Texas, Cum
mings. of New York, and Coleman, of
Louisiana, who in turn forced the lock
open without opposition from the door
keeper.
1t being impossible to retain quo
rum, the house adjourned.
A Republican caucus was announced,
to take place Immediately.
The caucus found that there are now
in Washington 145 Republican mem
bers, twenty-one less than a quorum );
consequently there are now twenty
eight Republican absentees. The caucus
resolved to make every effort to secure
the attendance of these members. 1t
was stated that if these absentees re-
turned to Washington the remaining
business of the session could be closed
up in few days, while failure to secure
the attendance of a Republican quorum,
will tend to protract the session in
definitely.
The house committee on foreign al
fairs today directed favorable report
on a modification of McCreary's resolu-
ton calling on the president for infor-
nation respecting the killing of General
Barrundia by the authorities of Guate-
mala.
