NOT A KIHILIsT MURDER.
no PadIewski Guilty of killing General Won
Hafsord, Who Is Suicide.


Hafsord, Who Is Suicide.
PARIS, Feb. 12.-It has been rumored
that the Russian Generel Won Hafsord, who
it was said yesterday had shot himself
through the head with revolver in the
Hotel Louvre, was the victim of Nihilists.
The published report agrees in some of its
details with those connected with the muir
der of General Seliverskof the head of the
Russian Secret Police in Paris, by Padlew-
ski, who afterward died by his own hand at
San Antonio, Tex.
The police authorities have been acting
to-day on the theory that General Won Haf-
sord met his death at the hands of some
member of the Nihilist party, but after a
close and most searching investigation they
have failed to develop any facts that would
sustain that view of the matter, and have
concluded that the evidence points out that
the General deliberately killed himself
General Won Hafsord was a veteran of the
Crimean War.

Mrs. Miller Thanks Chief Elliott for What
He Did for Her Boy.
Chief Elliott, of the Department of Char
ities, received letter from Mrs Harriet
Miller, of Sheffield, England, yesterday
concerning the death of her son, which
occurred at the city Poor Farm December
49, Thomas Miller, her son, had been in
the country about six months. He was
boarding on Butler street, near the Sharps-
burg bridge. On account of sickness he was
unable to work at his trade of polisher. He
fell so far behind IN his board bill that the
landlady told him to go. He became violent
and made so much noise that he was arrested
on a charge of disorderly conduct. He was
locked up in the Seventeenth ward police
station. Captain Brophy went TO see him
and saw that he was a very sick man. Chief
Elliott took charge of him, and sent him to
the Poor Farm, where he died.
In her letter, the mother thanked the
Chief for what he had done for her boy.
He will write again giving her further
particulars.

How do | save q man from drowning?
How would l advise another to act under
similar circumstances?
First OF all, you must be perfectly cool
and self possessed. In fact. that is the
principal secret of being a good swimmer:
you must have plenty of confidence in your.
self. Ii you are going to save q drowning
person, do not for an instant lose YOUR
presence Of mind. Have a clear idea of
how you are going to act under the condi-
tons AZ they present themselves to you and
then act.
or course, you must be a good swimmer,
or YOU cannot hope to render aid in time OF
danger. Never go in front of the victim,
always approach him from behind. If you
80 in front OF him the chances are that he
will try to grab hold of you. The old say
ing that q drowning nan will catch ut 8
straw is literally true. Moreover, a drown-
ing man will not only catch at anything, but
he will keep bold with a death-like grasp
which too often means the loss of both til.
rescuer and the victim. If he raises bis
hands to catch hold of you and there Is nc
other way of wardinR him off, knock hin
on the head; in other words, stun him.

A Reform Needed.

The Darlington Journal comments
on the County Boards provision TO
publish Its proceeding as follows:
Tie cosnty board Of supervisors at its January
session adopted 3 resolution to have the pro-
ceedings OF the annual and special sessions
printed in seven papers in the county ata total
expense Of $50. or S2l.43 each. This sum will
not half pay for the typesetting. There are
about 100 90 cas- = :he job. and no Office in
America can afford to put ssch work in type
ready for the press for less than 80 cents per
1000 ems. to say nothing Of the space taken up
in the paper, expense Of press-worS, mailing.
etc. However. the JOURNAL gives the proceed
ing in a neat supplement and viii be about fifty
dollars in the hole. Whether we shall ever
agtin squander wealth in this reckless manner
is a question for future consideration
Grant County papers are almost in
the same boat. being allowed only $50
each for both reporting and publishing
about the same amount of matter. II
is time the publishers combine and re-
fuse to do work merely for the love of
it. No laboring man in the world more
thoroughly earns his wages than
newspaper man, and to have that cut
down to dead loss as it Is to every
publisher in Grant County, is not only
adisgrace but an imposition that should
not be submitted to.
