Toe City Mark ct.

Editor Morning News: Mrs. Trollope's
sweeping charge, as it appears in your issue
two days ago, and as regarding the unclean-
illness Of our city market, has attracted my
special attention. Her sarcasm is bitter,
pointed aud unwarranted.
Doubtless, her capacity as critic and q
proper judge of reformation under which
our market should be purged, is an idea of
Ter own biased and prejudiced brain, and
evidently her inspection upon toe occasion
of her recent visit was upon an express
train idea, as the foundation of her charges
are not based upon facts, and especially 80
regarding myself.
Her scathing criticism of the butchers Of
this market is wonderful in its perversions.
Answering for myself, can say that only
employ those skillful in the art of their
voeations, and fully competent for their
duties, and will bear comparison with those
OF any portion of this union. Therefore her
charges are unwarranted, and her experience
brief aud limited. "However," for her spe-
cial Information, together with all others, +"
| can vouch for the cleanliness of my own
stalls. 81 and SO, and most respectfully in
vite her perso al inspection, and with the
large and varied display of viands upon
bDem, such as Beef, Veal, Mutton aud Pork
also Liver, Tripe. Pigs feet, Corned Beef
and Pork, Picked and Smoked Tongues,
Dressed Fowls. Geese, Ducks, Turkeys and
Venisou; also Grouse and Quail, Fish of
every variety. Smells, Sausauge, Sweet
Bread and Brain. Bologna Sausage, Vienna
and Frankfort Sausages; indeed, every
thing pertaining to this trade, and in its
most attractive, inviting and appetizing
manner, will disprove her theory. Every
apparent defect will be remsdied upon the
slightest complaint. HUGH LOGAN,
I'D. City Market.

TRIED TO END HIS LIFE.
henry RICH DRAWS a RAZOR
ACROSS HIS THROAT.

In a Fit of Dependency Caused BY
the Death OF His Wife He Tells Bis
Nurse Ee Eas Nothing TO Live for
and Attempts TO Sever His Jugular
Vein-The Attempt Not Success sful.
Henry Rich. an aged paralytic whose
figure In his rolling chair is well known on
the streets around the market, attempted
suicide yesterday morning about O'Clock
by drawing a razor across his throat, but he
was unsuccessful in his effort
The story is A sad one. Mr. Rich is a man
of considerable means and formerly con-
Quoted a store on Congress street, west Of
the market. About nine years ago be was
paralyzed, and has had no control OF
himself since. He also lost the
use of bis voice, and had to
communicate with others by means Of an
alphahetic tablet. Last year he married
his nurse, Josephine Lauson. He had had
great trouble in securing proper nurses, and
he doubtless wished to bind this one TO him.
Some time ago Mrs. Rich became afflicted
with meningitis. from which she has suf-
fered greatly. Two weeks ago child was
born. Weakened by illness, she succumbed
to her disease aAd died Wednesday morn
$g.
The husband has been respondent since
his Wlte's death, ana saio repeatedly Inat ne
had nothing TO live for.
Yesterday mor1ing, while alone in the
room with Il colored servant, be managed to
secure a razor which had been left in a
drawer in the room, and exclaiming that he
had nothing TO live for drew the razor
across his throat, making a deep cash,
from which the blood flowed freely. The
jugular vein was not touched, but had the
razor been drawn a little farther 70 the left
the wound would have been fatal.
The colored woman screamed excitedly
and aroused the neighborhood and large
crowd gathered around the house, No. Al
Jefferson street. Messengers were sent in
several different directions for physicians.
Or. Charlton arrived and dressed the
wound. which he says will not prove
fatal With proper nursing the wounded
man will recover. He does not
want to recover, however, and says he won't
be carried to the hospital and won't employ
a nurse. He refuses 70 take any medicine
OF nourishment. and says he intends to
complete his work at the first opportunity.
1t is but justice to Mr.. Rich to state that
he has not been in his right mind since his
wife's death, and is not responsible for his
actions

BETTER DRAINAGE NEEDED.

Sanitary Inspector Desvergers' Report
Upon Lands ksst of the City.
Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens SAM
tary Association. in his weekly report, says
in reference to the drainage around the city
that the condition of the low lands east OF
the city is becoming more serious, particu.
larly that portion of the Lawton plantation
IN the rear of Smithville.
He says that while few laborers Of the
dry culture department keep the Bilbo and
Jones canals and other main drains clean,
their work is Offset by neglect on the part
Of the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
way Company to place and keep Bradly's
creek in proper condition and to drain the
borrow pits along its roadbed.
While the city trunks keep tidewater
out, those of the railway fail to do so,
owing TO their defective condition. Hesays,
also, that the borrow pits of the Savannah
and Atlantic railroad should be drained be-
fore the summer sets in.

A Few Points About Drinkablss.

The most important articles, and those
which every housekeeper is more particular
in securing, is good coffee and tea. The
grocery houses who realize this fact appre-
ciate their wants and endeavor TO keep the

case where tradesmen are Judges OF these
articles. aud consequently patrons are often
disappointed in their purchases. The finest
line of coffee and teas, selected with the
utmost care and experience, are always at the
establishment Of the estate of s. W. Branch,
where epicures can be supplied to their ut.
