JUMPED INTO THE RIVER.
Mrs. Louisa Fryrs Attempts to Commit Sui
eide by Drowning.

eide by Drowning.
young woman whose clothing was water
soaked treated at the Emergency Hos
pital last night She had attempted to end her
life by jumping into the river and al her
trouble, it is thought, resulted from the fact
that she and her husband have been separated
for some time. She evidently loves him and
the cause of their separation is not q matter Of
public notoriety. The young woman is Mrs.
Louisa Frye. whose home is at No. 632 VI street
southeast. She resides there with her mother,
Mrs Rutland. Yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Frye left home telling her mother that she was
going out to look for work. She may have
sought employment. but she also sought her
husband and she says she found him. She
wanted. for she made her way toward the river
fully determined TO die.
Mrs. Ruhland awaited the arrival of her
daughter and as the hours rolled by she became
uneasy until sometime after 10 O'Clock, when
message came telling her of the sad event.
Mrs. Frye. after leaving her husband, who is
a carpenter, wended her way in the direction of
the river, going down It'll street. She first
came to the Washington and Norfolk steamboat
landing. The water was just as wet there as 1t
was down below, but evidently fearing she
would be discovered she continued down the
long line of steamboat wharves to the edge OF
the grounds of the Washington barracks, where
she thought she could drown herself and her
sorrows unobserved. Passing the power house
of the 9TH street cable road she attracted the
attention Of some Of the railroad men, who
watched her movements until she reached the
waters edge.
Presently there was q splash and the men
were satisfied that the woman was overheard
They ran to the river and one of them, John
Whittier. jumped into the water and grabbed
the woman she rose to the surface. She
struggled with the man who was doing his best
to save her, but ne did not let go his hold on
her and in a short while, with the assistance of
others, the unfortunate woman was landed on
the wharf.
From there she was taken to the Emergency
Hospital. where she was attended by Drs. Wood
ward and Davidson.
5Irs. Eyre married Horace Frye. . carpen-
ter, shout five years ago and they moved to
Philadelphia. About three months ago, after
having returned to this city, the husband and
wife had some trouble between themselves
which resulted in their separation Recently
the distressed woman has been feeling unwell
and she undoubtedly thought that death was
the ONLY solution of her difficulty.

Free Trade and Low Wages.

No once could be better qualified to
study the condition OF English work
ingmen under free trade or to com
pare it with Americans under prouec-
ton than Mr.. John Jarrett, United
States consul at Birmingham, who
has Just arrived on "a visit to his home
in Pittsburg. Mr. Jarrett was free
trader when he came to this country
in 1850, but experience soon made
him an earnest advocate OF protec-
ton.
Speaking of the condition OF wages
in England Mr.. Jarrett says that
skilled labor is paid less in England
now than formerly. "ln lS6O,' he
adds, "skiIled laborers in the Stafford
shire district, where the highest prices
are paid, were then given twelve shil
] lings per ton for pudding, and now
over thirty years afterward, they re-
ceive only eight shllings. j expect
the. price per ton will soon be six shil
lings and sixpence. In JuNtapositIo
look at our country. In 1850 VI
paid puddlers SO 80 per ton, or about
fourteen shillings. and now they re
ceive $3.50 per ton Protection
raised the wages in this country, ant
free trade lowered them in England.
