sons who attempt suicide nnd orc foiled,

Probably onc-half, if not moro, of all

who leap into the dark river the second
time is exceedingly small. have tried
to discover the reason for this from the
lips of those who have gone through
the terrible experience, but / have not
met success.
ut Is queer that persons, after de-
voting weeks and months to o consider
ntion of SO momentous question, and
deciding to end their existence, should,
when foiled, declare that they were
fools and swear never to do the like
ngain. Yet this is what Is done in a
large majority OF instances Those who
have stared ut death seem to live life

did you ever witness hanging?
The execution Is impressive. 1t is ter
rible to see human life deliberately
and coolly taken. But this is not the
most terrible thing about hanging 1t
is the recollection of 1.-THE mental
awful. So 1t is with the suicide. 1t is
not so fearful to take poisoned
draught-to pull trigger or take o
plunge. But TO those who have r,lshcd
to death and have failed to ovcrtal;e it
the recollection of that race must DO
av7ful-nnd this is what dctc,s rash

is the only explanation can gather.
"What do think Of suicide? 1t is
moral cowarlico and physical courage
1t takes nerve to throw ones self in
front Of q moving locomotive, but q
human being that cannot bear advcrsity
lacks the higher courage. 1t is not so
that all persons who seek their own
lives are insane.
There is possibly one case In which
moral cownrdice is not apparent 1t is
in the case of the person who is suffer

FAYETTEVILLE, \. c., May l7.-On
Monday seventeen miles below here a
notorious outlaw from South Carolina,
named Gilmore, entered the house of
of Rev. William Brunt, and finding no
one but Miss Brunt there, forced her to
prepare dinner for him at the point of a
pistol. After eating heartily, he leaped
out of the window. Miss Brunt seized a
gun and shot Gilmore, thirteen buckshot
striking. He died in few minutes. A
reward of 1900 was out for him, to which
Miss Brunt becomes entitled.

A Ce1estia1 stowawax.

SAN Francisco, May 1s.-A horrible
discovery was made on the barkentine
w. III. Dimond yesterday just in from
Honolulu. While the Dimond was in
the harbor of Honolulu, a dead Chinese,
with marks of violence on his head, was
found floating alongside of her. Suspic-
ion was fastened on Illinois Wise, a
colored cook of the Dimond, and on the
departure of the vessel Detective j.
Lockhart followed on the Australia to
investigate. A hasty search of the cabin
showed a few splashes of blood on the
wall, and on this shadowy evidence he
was arrested. Yesterday it occurred to
Lockhart to make a more careful exam
ination of the cabin, for there was really
nothing on which to ask for extradition
or conviction of the prisoner. In the
search there was found closely packed
beneath thin false partition the entire
suit of clothing of the Chinese, satur-
ated with blood. Beneath the lower
bunk were other large blood stains,
which had escaped notice ON the first tex-
animation, and which Wise, presumed
to be the guilty man, had forgotten to
wash off. The theory is that the
Chinese had asked Wise to stow him
away and had shown him money which
tempted Wise's cupidity, and the murder
followed.

MOST OF THEM FROM THE SOUTH
Seven Million Republicans Who Have

THE NOMINATION IS NOT SETTLED.
No Name is SO Popular as TO Secure the

CHICAGO, May 1S.-Chairman J. s..
Clarkson, of the republican national
committee, arrived yesterday from Hot
Springs, Ark, fully restored to health.
To reporter he said: "Seven millions
of republicans, who will be represented
at Minneapolis, have not made up their

suits of the state conventions clearly
show this. There will be, more unin-
structed delegates in the Minneapolis
convention that has ever been known in
the history of the republican party.
Almost all the Northern states, and
states which cast electoral votes which
will elect, sent uninstrueted delegations.
The majority of the uninstructed dele
cations come from the Southern states.
Some able editors and Federal Office
holders claim the nominatian is settled
already. 1 certainly do not think so,
but as for being q party to any conspir-
acy for the nomination of Blaine, Sher-
man or Harrison, I desire to enter pro-

would secure the nomination on the

Do Back Track---NO 25 Per Cent. Seal
fng---Stick to the Contract Sys-
tenn if Ben. Goes.

WAsHINGToN, May Yesterday an
attack was made upon the river and
harbor bill from an unexpected quarter
1t is claimed that notice has been re-
ceived from the White house by the re-
publican members of the commerce
committee, to the effect that it would
be better to scale down the present river
and harbor bill 25 per ct. This is backed
up by assertions from the secretary of
the treasury, to the effect that the prob
able revenues do not seem liable to
meet the actnal cost of conducting the
government under the present sys tenn of
finances.
The republican members of the senate
appropriation committee have been not
! flied that it would be well to keep down
appropriations to as low limit as pos
sible, yet it is doubtful whether the
commerce committee of the senate
will take much stock in what President
Harrison proposed, because many MEM
bers of that committee on the republi-
can side are not any too well pleased
with the president. Further than that,
large volume made its appearance i'll
the senate today, which is the report of
the committee on commerce on the
river and harbor bill.
1t contains over 400 pages of printed
matter and is very complete in discuss
ing every project contained in the pres
ent river and harbor bill and shows by
facts and figures, the necessity for the
| passage of sucha bill and of the vast
! benefits to accrue to commence on that
account. 1t is believed the committee
! will not now take the back track and
move to scale the bill down, simply
because the president is desirous of it,
! In view of the showing made by the
report it is doubtful if any attempt will
be made by the senate commerce com
mittee to scale down the bill. One of
the first suggestions by the administra-
tion was that the contract system shonld
be stricken from the bill, but this met
with so much disfavor that it was not
pressed. In fact, the contract system
provided for future appropriations
rather than current expenditures.
