TRIED TO HANG HIMSELF,
Young Durr Caught Twice Making a Rope
in the Central Station.

Young DUR Caught Twice Making Rope
in the Central Station.
John Durr a son of the hotelkeeper, was
arrested yesterday, charged with assault and
battery by NJ. Maroon. He was locked up
in Central station, and about an hour after
ward one of the other prisoners called to
Turnkey Metz that Durr was about to hang
himself in his cell The turnkey threw
open the cell door and found Durr had ar
ranged his suspenders to the top bars in his
cell and was evidently preparing to hang
himself The improvised rope was taken
from him, but short time after he was de-
tected making further preparation to the
same end, this time preparing rope of his.
underclothes, which he tore in strips.
These were also taken from him, but at no
time did he say word or offer an excuse
for his conduct.
About 9 o'clock Constable Groetzinger re-
moved him to the county Jail in default of
$500 bail for a hearing to-day. The prisoner
is about so years of age, and lives with his
father at the hotel He is charged with
striking Morcon in the face.

place, and an effort will also be made to
keep out all other Allegheny county can
didates for the place. An Allegheny
county candidate for place on the State
Supreme Bench will be endorsed at the
same time. Judge Ewing is likely to re-
ceive that Endorsement. His friends have
been at work in his behalf, and the other
judges spoken of for the place are likely
TO get out of Judge Ewing's way.
United States District Attorney Lyon
denied yesterday that he is an applicant
for Judge Reeds place.

The Best Thing for /. Stubborn Cougf


From the Kimball Is. d. Graphic.]
While the columns OF the Graphic are
open to any and all unobjectionable adver-
tisements, yet it is quite impossible. for us
to speak knowingly of the merits of the
various articles of merchandise advertised
Particularly is this true of patent medi-
cines. But there are exceptions OCCASION
ally, and a noteworthy exception is the
celebrated Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
This now universally known medicine has
been advertised in the Graphic for four or
five years, but not until recently had we
any personal knowledge of its wonderful
efficacy, which has come about through the
prevailing influenza and the stubborn cough
that has so often attended it. In the writer's
family this medicine has on several occa-
sions this winter cured cough that baff1ed
any and all other remedies; and the num-
ber of families in Kimball and vicinity in
which this remedy has been used with like
effects attests to its value as a specific for
coughs and colds of every nature. TTsu
