Louis Hecksrt's Reason for Putting His
Head under a Locomotive.
From the New York World
Louis Heckert, one Of number Of home
less young men who daily haunt the
slaughter houses on johnson avenue, Bush
wick yesterday morning deliberately laid his
head beneath the wheels Of locomotive on
the Long Island railroad, near the Bush
wick depot, and was instantly killed
Years ago Heckert concluded to live with
out work and for long time he hal no set
tied abode. During several weeks past he
frequently complained of the annoyance he
experienced from flies, mosquitoes and other
insects which infested the slaughter houses
He appealed to bis companions to meet at
places where the pests were not so numer-
Gus, declaring that he was unused 10 work
and tbesexertion Of keeping the insects away
from his person was TOO much for his
strength.
But his associates only laughed at him.
Again and again be asked them to locate
elsewhere, but they remained obdurste.
Yesterday he made his final appeal. 1t was
received with jeering remarks to the effect
that what was good enough for the ma
jority of the gang ought to be good enough
for all.
Fellows" said Heckert, I'm say no
more. I'm tired Of talking TO you, and Pm
more than tired Of the flies. I've been as
good to the gang as any one of you. l
asked you just one favor. You'N have no
more trouble with me, for pve made up
my mind to die within an hour. Good-by."
Heckert then walked rapidly in the di
rection Of the railroad, asserting that he
would throw himself under the wheels of
the first train that came along. Nobody in
the crowd suspected the threat would be
made good aud everybody made light Of
the matter.

while be was in hearing distance.
1t was then $50 o'clock. Half an hour
later a heavy freight train approached.

feet Of him Heckert placed. his head on the
rail. An instant later it was ground out OF

THE TARIFF DEBATE.

The Tariff Debate in the house
has begun and the Springerpoliey
will be put to the test. The bill
providing for free wool will
doubtless pass the House but
that is about as far as it will
get.
The bill will doubtless meet
with opposition among some
Democrats ands.the entire party
is not yet convinced of the wis
dom of the Springer policy of at
lacking the tariff with a number
DISMAL bills. 1t would be easier
to get a small general reduction
of the tariff through the Senate
and White House than a few free
trade bills similar to the Spring
err wool bill. However the Dem
ocrats cannot hope to run the
gauntlet Of thesetwo Republican
forts with any measure OF relief
for the people, and one policy is
as good as another, as nothing
further than the manufacture of
campaign material can be nc
complished.
