SuICIDES' CLUB.
The Tenth Member of the CHASTITY or-
panization Formed for Self-Murder.

BRIDGEPORT, CONN, June IA
Robert Louis Stevenson, when he wrote
his famous romance, entitled "Ihe
Suicide Club" and included in his
series stories entitled "Modern Arab
ian Nights" never dreamed that any
set of morbidly inclined misanth-
ropes would put his schemes into
operation, but, as is well known the
famous Suicide Club, of this city, was
the result, and yesterday, the Self-mur-
der of E. f. Smith, at Birmingham, by
blowing his brains out with shotgun,
makes the list of ten victims to this hor-
rible passion. The club was originally
formed with six members six years ago,
and was intended to be limited as form
ed. but new members were added from
time to time despite the protest OF the
original members.
No less than seven applications were
received from abroad for membership
last year. The suicides so far are:
August Hesterhagen, suicided in bed
with revolver; j. Knapp, shot himself
in bed; George Leavenworth, died IN
Cases Hotel, laudanum, self-admlnlS-
tered William Nickel, cut his throat
with a razor in his room; John Kinzy,
shot himself through the head with a
rifle in the cellar of his saloon; j. e.
Schneider, threw himself in front OF an
express train at the depot before a doz-
en- friends; John HatterD, hanged him
self in his shop; Wendell Baur, cut his
throat with jack-knife in an open lou.
New York City: w. II. Moby, blew out
his brains with revolver; E. f.
Schmidt, blew his brains out with a
shotgun.
The President of the club now is VIM.
Zeggs, saloon keeper OIL Gold street,
and the club meets in room in his
house. Daniel Loester is Financial and
Corresponding Secretary.

A Periodical RumOr.

CINCINNATI, o., June 14.-Periodi-
cally about every three months during
the last year or two, cries have been
raised and rumors printed of changes in
the management of the Commercial
Gazette. Such rumor was revived
here yesterday and printed this morning.
The agent of the Associated Press
has learned from authoritative sources
tonight that the basis of this rumor
was the recent sale to William A. Proc
tor, of this city, of the shares owned by
the estate of VIM. Glenn, deceased.
This sale was made in accordance with
the will OF the late William Glenn. 1t
adds one man to the number of stock
holders and does not necessarily make
any change in the present organization
or management of the Commercidl-
Gazette Company.

CHICAGO, June l4.-F'ifteen hundred
architectural iron workers will strike
tomorrow morning. The union met
last night with six hundred present. A
committee reported that all the bosses
in the city had been notified of the de-
mandS and had refused to accede to
them. Delegates present from the
three metal workers unions announced
that they, too, had decided to strike
Monday morning. These three unions
number seven hundred men. The strike
will probably tie up the work on all big
down town street buildings. The joint
labor committees on Worlds Fair last
night issued sort of formal declaration
of war on the Worlds Fair Managers
for refusing to grant the minimum rate
of wages. and called for a big meeting
for the 2sth. The fathers have prac-
tcally won their strike.

Escape of PrisOners.

The report that prisoners have been and are
constantly escaping from that malignant
goaler liver complaint, is fully corroborated by
the self-liberated captives. Hostetter's Stom-
ach BitterS are. they say, the means by which
they get rid OF their letters. Few altogether
avoid the honda &c of this ailment, and few are
unacQualnted with its signs, viz, pain through
the right side and shoulder blade, furred
tongue, yellowness Of the eyeballs and skin,
sour breath sick headache. dyspe psia and con
stipation. HOStetter'S Stomach Ri tiers puts a
prompt period to these, brings them 10 full
stop in short order. Whether the thr0uble is
chronic or temporary. this medi cine Is equally
effective. regulating the liver and b owels thor
oughly. II is likewise a sovereign remedy for
rheumatism. kidney complaint, malaria, heart
burn and nervousness.

WHERE THE FARMERS INTERESTS
LIE.

During the calendar year 1890 our eX-
ports of the five classes of articles,
breadstuffs, provisions, oils, cotton and
tobacco were 76.49 per cent. of the
total exports Of the year.
OF the total exports of these five
classes ofarticleS SS.52 per cent. went to
Europe, $50 per cent. to British North
America, 2.56 per cent. to the West
Indies, 2.05 per cent. to Asia, and only
e.13 per cent. to the whole of South
America.
These figures tell an impressive story
to the farmers of the country. SO tar
rs our farmers are concerned, the South
American markets will be but mere
bagatelle compared TO the great mar
kets of Europe. Yet the MckinleylteS
deliberately multiply the obstacles In
the way of commerce with Europa
policv that not only restricts the mar
ket for our farm products, but also
enormously increases the taX-burdens OF
the farmers. The Democratic party
is pledged against this policy.
Here are facts for the Farmers Ali
ance people, who can not hope to con-
troll legislation through third party,
TO ponder over.

\ FEARFUL DAY.
The Mercury Goes Up to Ninety-Four, and
Much Discomfort Ensues.


Yesterday was by all odds the hottest
day of the present summer, the mercury
reaching the very uncomfortable alti-
tude of "a degrees in the shade. The
latter portion of Saturday night was
reasonably cool. and as late as seven
o'clock the mercury was only up to 10,
but after that hour it began to climb
rapidly, and at nine o'clock it had
reached So, and at noon stood at 93 de-
greeS. For the next six hours the tenn
perature stood at about "a, and the heat
was fairly sweltering. The thermome-
ter did not drop below 90 until after
seven o clock last night.
There was a great rush to get out OF
town during the day, and the afternoon
motors to the Park were crowded
Dozens of private picnic parties went
out into the country, and many able TO
procure rig went out driving in the
evening, in search of fresh air. Once
or twice during the afternoon the sky
clouded up in the west, but there were
no serious indications Of rain-Some-
thing which would have been very wei
come.
No cases of proStration from the heat
were reported, but there was general
discomfort, the day being particularly
trying one for sick people.

sICNIEICANr SILVER FACTS.

Those who regard the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver in the near
future as inevitable are probably I'M
mindful of the fact that the free silver
movement in the West and South was
stronger IA and Is years ago than it has
been at any time siuce the passage of
the Bland-AlliSon act. On the 18th OF
December, 1876, a free coinage bill was
passed in the House of Representatives
by vote of 167 to SO. On the 9Th of
November, 1877, a free and unlimited
coinage bill was passed in the House of
Representatives by vote Of 163 TO 81.
At that time the West and the South
were practically solid in their support
of free coinage. In those days CHARLES
FOSTER, the present Secretary OF the
Treasury, was an advocate Of the I'M
restricted coinage OF the lightweight
dollar, and he voted for the bill open
ing the minis for this purpose. And so
did his colleague, MAJ. WILLIAM Nc
KINLEY.
There is no conclusive evidence show
ing that the free silver movement in
any part of the West or the South is to-
day as strong as it was - years ago.
Nowhere in the West or the South is it
so aggressive as it was Is years ago, and
in the cities of the West and the South
the opposition to free coinage is far
stronger to-day than it has been at any
time during the last decade.

MICE AND HAT PINS.
The Novel Weapons With Which Couple
Went to War.

New YORK, June 14.-John II. Chad
wick, of Bayonne, is suing for divorce. lie
was married in Bayone on November "a,
1887. He complains that from the very
first Mrs. Chadwick exhibited IA most
nasty and ungovernable temper.
Mrs. Chadwick's maiden name was
Minnie Roth. After returning
from their wedding trip they
went housekeeping in Avenue ID in Bay
onne. Once, when his wife was wip,ng
I'D the floor under swinging
door he suggested to her to
be careful in rising up, or
she would strike her head. Instead OF
taking his advice kindly she seized po-
ker and struck him on the head with it,
At another time she threw basin OF
cold water over him, and once she hit
him with tomato can. lie says she
swore at him and called him names.
The couple have one child, named
Hazelton Merkel Chadwick. Mr.. Chad
wick alleges that while his wife
was nursing the baby he urged
her not to eat sour oranges.
She struck him on the arm with a chair
and ate more sour oranges than
before, On one occasion She picked
up two pieces of steak from
a frying pan, on which they were cook
ing, and threw them at him. At
another time, he alleges. she struck him
on the hand with a tin dipper and broke
the dipper. She calleI his mother
names, he says. She also neglected her
child.
On the night of May II, Chadwick
was sitting in the parlor minding
the baby, when young girl
came and asked for Il contribu-
ton for some charitable purpose con-
nected with the church they attend.
His wife ordered her out, but he called
the girl back and gave her something.
His wife became so angry that
she struck him two blows in the face
with her clinched fists. She then
snatched the baby from his arms and left
the house, spending the night at her
mothers. The next day, while he was
at business, she returned to the house,
packed up all her personal property
and returned to her mothers.
In a week or two they became recon-
ciled and went to housekeeping again.
Two weeks later, Mr.. Chadwick

SIXTY PEOPLE PERISH
In a Railroad Accident Near Berne-A
Bridge Collapses.

BERNE, July IA most horrible ac-
cident occurred on the MoenchenStein
and Bale railway to-day through the
collapse of bridge beneath heavily
loaded excursion train. The train was
crowded with people on the way to at
tend musical fete. Sixty persons Were
killed outright and hundreds injured.
The musical fete at Muenchenstein
was abandoned as soon as the news OF
the accident arrived, and hundreds OF
villagers hurried to the scene TO assist
in rescuing the victims.
The bridge was an iron skeleton
structure. which was considered well
built and substantial. The only appa
rent reason for the collapse of the
bridge is. that the train left the rails
and threw its entire weight on one side
Of the bridge.
