A TRAGIC SUICIDE.-Richard New
house, an employee of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad at Keyser, w. Va, COM
mitted suicide Monday night by drink
ing carbolic acid in the presence of his
sweetheart, Miss Ann High. She was
to have married him on Christmas
night. but at that time she refused to
have anything to do with him. He
went out and asked Andy Pancake, an
employee at the clearinghouse, to
knock him on the head, that he wished
to die. Pancake jokingly told him all
right, to get down on his knees. In
stantly he did so, and begged Pancake
to kill him quick, which, of course, he
refused to do, and told him to get up
and act like a man, and not let anything
worry him. He then went to the home
of his sweetheart. and climbing in the
window, searched the house for her.
She in the meantime ran to the board
ing house to escape him. Finding she
had gone there, he rushed into the
room, and taking bottle from his
pocket containing portion of whisky
mixed with carbolic acid, offered it to
her, and she refused. He then re-
marked, "You caused me to do this, :"
and drank from the bottle. He lived
but few minutes.

ATLANTIC LINERS.-Some statistics
given by Arthur Maginnis in the De-
troit Free Press on the ships, men and
workings of the Atlantic ferry are of
great interest. In ship like the
Teutonic to begin with Il sum OF about
S5,000O00 is nvestcd, and the working
expenses are porportionately heavy.
In the sailing, engine and passengerde-
p.,rtments the large number of 322
hands arc required The wages paid
to these hands amount to, $3.50 Il
month When these figures are con-
sidered, together with other items of
maintaining Office expenses, insurance,
agency, commission, shore staff, works,
port charges, interest on capital, and
depreciation, it may nc fairly taken
that at least the sum Of $50, 900 must
be realized a trip before any profits can
be counted on, so that some idea of the
enormous sum at stake in the working
and management Of an express trans
atlantic line can be formed. Mr.. Ma
ginnis holds strongly to the belief that
when these vast figures are considered.
together with other equally extensive
requirements, the chimerical nature of
some of the schemes proposed from
time to time for forming new lines
which promise three and four days,
passage across the Atlantic can easily
be discerned. He regards them as over
whclming proof that insurmountable
difficulties are in the way of any COM
pany or firm without experience
who can create all at once service
more luxurious, and having higher
speed, than now afforded by the
existing lines which would, at the
same time; prove financial success.

Medical Testimony.

w. Thornton Parker, NJ. D., Recorder,
Association of Acting Assistant Sur
geons of the U. s. Army, writes:
"SALEM, MASS, March %, 1891.
when at Stuttgart, Germany, dur
ing the Winter OF 1ss1-S2, was suffer
ing from severe attack Of bronchitis,
which seemed to threaten pneumonia.
L met, at the Hotel Marquardt, Com
mander Beardslee, of the United States
Navy. In speaking Of my sickness, be
remarked: Doctor, you can cure that
chest trouble of yours by using an
ALLcoCK's Porous PLASTER That
may be true 1 answered, but where
can get the plaster?' Anywhere in
the civilized world, and surely here in
Stuttgart. Whenever l have cold, I
always use one and find relief sent
to the drug store for the plaster, and it
did all my friend had promised. Ever
since then have used It whenever suf-
lcIinB lEOm COlu, anu ndNS many
times prescribed II for patients.
1.-THE ALLCoCK's PLASTER is the best
to be had, and has saved many from Sc
we're illness, and undoubtedly, II used
promptly, will save many valuable lives.
Whenever one has a severe cold they
should put on an ALLcoCK's PLASTER as
soon as possible. 1t should be placed
across the chest, the upper margin just
below the neck; some hot beef tea, or
milk will aid In the treatment.
"ThIs is not patent remedy in the
Objectionable sense Of that term, but q
standard preparation Of value. The
Government supplies for the U. S. Army
and Indian Hospital Stores contain ALL
COCKS PLAsTERs, and the medical pro-
iession throughout the world are well
aware Of their reliability and excellence.
I shall always recommend 1t, not only to
break up colds, but as useful In allaying
pains in the chest and In the back. 1t
is a preparation worthy Of general con-
fidence."

limits, prices for the most part showing no
decided tendency In either direction. Liqui-
cations were more and more numerous,
however, as the day wore along, and these
sales finally induced further selling for the
short account, which was specially promi-
nent IN Chicago Gas. and that stock
broke badly in the last hour Great activ-
lty prevailed for the time being in ST. Paul
and Northern Pacific preferred while the
amount Of business done in the rest of the
list was large. Prices declined steadily
under pressure and the lowest prices of the
day were reached in almost every case. No
rally occurred, although there was evidence
OF considerable covering in the last few
minutes, and the market closed active and
