GREENsBURG, Pa, Feb. 19.-George
Grum bling, a prominent citizen of Old
Ninevah, took his life in a most horri-
BILE, blood-curdling manner Tuesday
night. Mr.. Grumbling has been i'll
with la grippe for two weeks past, and
this probably affected his mind In any
event, during the temporary absence OF
his nurse he arose from his bed
and going to a window he broke pane
of glass. Then, placing his head
through the hole he deliberately sawed
his throat over the jagged edges inf1ict-
ing terrible injuries Blood spurted in
all directions but the unfortunate man
kept on saving his throat until he
fell to the floor exhausted from
loss of blood a few minutes later the
nurse returned and seeing the mans
condition hastily summoned physi-
clans. The doctors put twelve
stitches in the frightful wounds and
then put him to bed. They had scarce
ly turned away from the injured man
when Grumbling, who had recovered
consciousness, tore out the stitches,
lacerating the gaping wounds afresh.
Death ensued before the doctors could
staunch the renewed flow of blood.

The Senate Passe, the Bill Continuing in
Forco for Ten Years the Chinese Exclu-
sion Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2o.--The United
States senate has passed the bill ex-
tending for ten years the operation OF
the Chinese exclusion act.
The bill passed by the senate ex-
tending for ten years the operations OF
the Chinese exclusion laws is a substi-
tute for a similar measure introduced
by Senator Dolph (Ore.). The bill has
wider scope than Is indicated by
it's title, for, in addition to
reenacting the present exclusion
laws which are about to lapse, it
contains a section intended to meet the
difficulty the treasury officials have
encountered in returning Chinese to
China through judicial decisions ad-
verse to their right to return them
further than to the country from
which they entered the United
States. Under this construction OF
the law the treasury returned
a numb of Chinese to Canada in
stead of to China, and they were soon
again smuggled across the line. which
it was impossible to guard at all times
and places. Another new section pro-
vides severe penalties for the return tc
the United States of Chinese once sent
ont of the country

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 19.-The bark

of February 2, cleared from San Fran
cisco January 13 with a crew OF
thirty eight. The voyage down
was satisfactory, but it appears
that the vessel lost hcr reck'

time of the wreck that they were near
Kealakeakua bay, almost = degrees
to the westward No breakers were
sighted when the vessel struck by the
watch on deck, and the sudden shock
threw the crew into great con-
fusion. Only two small boats
were available, and one of
them when lowered floated away
before it secured an occupant. Capt.
Rowland, the first mate. boatheader,
carpenter cook and two others entered
the second boat, but the ship was roll
ing heavily and the boat was STAYED in
and its occupants were washed
away. Those of the crew
who remained on the bark

one until the vessel broke up. Eighteen

LATE
A Nervy Rascal.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Feb. 2l.-Ths
shooting Of an express messenger on .
Central Hudson train, the rifing of
valuable safe, the flight of the robber
on the engine of another train from
which he drives the crew at the point
of revolver, a running fight from the
engine for miles, followed by another
engine filed with railway men, and the
final capture of the desperate by
sheriff's posse in swamp after long
chase across the country are some Of
| the features of the attempt at train
robbery in the history of the Central
Hudson railroad which cast in the
shade as an exhibition of nerve the
famous exploits the Jesse James band
or other outlaws of Western fame.
The mans name is given as Cross.
He boarded the train when it pulled
out of Syracuse and climbed on the
express car. He was provided with a
hooked rope. Fastening the hook in
| a slight cornice of the roof on one side
of the car he let himself down on to the
other and placed his toes on the ledge
| that runs across the car. He looked in
the glass of the side door and saw the
express messenger in front of the door
making up his bills. He smashed the
glass with his revolver and shouted to
the messenger to hold up his hands.
Instead of doing SO McInerny reached
| to the bell cord with one hand and his
revolver with the other. A bullet
smashed the hand but not before the
signal had been given that aroused the
conductor. Then McInery fired on the
robber and put bullet through his
coat. Then the robber shot the mes
senger twice, once in the right leg and
once in the left leg. He climbed into
the car and desperate struggle took
place, which did not end until the train
stopped for the first time near Weeds
port. 1t is evident that the robber had
climbed out on the top of the car and
remained there until the stop at Lyons.
So far as can be learned the robber Sc
cured absolutely nothing, for which the
company can thank the readiness of
| Conductor Laass and the pluck of Mes
senger McInery.
