A DETERMINED SUICIDE,
A Despondent Kansan Walking
Around With His Throat
Cut.

WOODBURY., May 26 Tuesday
evening there arrived at Woodburn,
from Kansas, a brother of Jack
Harding, the Democratic nominee
for county judge, The Kansan was
despondent and constantly held
his head down. A handkerchief
was tied about his neck, and it was
supposed there was nothing more
the matter with him than a sore
throat. He grew weaker and weaker
and a physician was called, who, o,upon
removing the handkerchief, dis
covered that Harding had several
days before cut his throat, and
would soon die from loss Of blood.
Dependency following an attack of
the grip is assigned as the cause.

OVER THE FALLS.
But His Head Was Cool and His
Life Was Saved.

RoNDoUT, N. Y. May 27.--A
thrilling scene was witnessed at Riff
ton, Ulster county, yesterday. A
young man from Philadelphia, who
refused TO give his name, but who
is interested in a phonograph, went
calling on the Waikiki creek. His
little craft got into the current, and
its occupant losing all control, il
drifted hopelessly toward the falls
at Rifton. Just as the boat reached
the brink, the man gave jump
over the falls, clearing the rocks be-
low and striking deep water. Those
who witnessed the scene were hor-
rified, expecting never to see the
man alive again. The stranger,
after going under the water three
times, struck out and reached shore
Ia an exhausted condition. The
boat was dashed TO pieces. The
young Philadelphian is the only
person who has ever gone over the
falls and has come out alive. When
the water is low in the creek the
falls are forty-five feet high.

Sacramento River.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, May 26.-The
Sacramento river held down to the
26 feet and 10 inch mark all night
without either gaining or recediug.
Land owners below the city were
fearful that the melting levees in
that direction would not be able to
endure during the day. This morn
ing the stream rose an inch over the
highest point Of yesterday. On
Tuesday morning one of the guards
patrolling Yolo levee noticed two
men apparently digging into the
levee at the Carry place, five miles
below town. The guard fired four
shots, and the men fled. InYesti
cation showed that hole had been
bored or dug into the top of the
levee and a charge of dynamite in
serted. One hundred men are work
ing on a levee at Freeport, and they
have used forty-five thousand sacks
of earth in strengthening the bank.

A California Rancher Falls Prey to
Confidence Men.
YUBA CITY, Cal, May PA. H.
Holland, wealthy farmer, living
near here, was buncoed out of $1,000
by two confidence sharps. On Mon
day a man calling himself Judge
Love, of San Jose, called on Hol'
land, saying be was on his way to
Chico to hold court, and stopped
over to see about buying the ranch.
Yesterday, when they were driving
over the ranch, they met confed-
crate of the stranger, who said he
was also looking for a ranch, but in
cidentally remarked that he was an
agent of the Louisiana lottery. He
volunteered to explain how the
game could be beaten. Producing
several cards, he allowed Holland
and the first stranger to draw,
They won, and stranger No. 2 then
suggested to put up $1,000 each.
Holland came to town and drew the
money from the bank and returned
The money was all put in a tin box,
and Holland won. The box, how
ever, was changed, and when the
strangers left, Holland found moth
ing but iron washers in his box.
The men have not been found.
Hollands ueighbor was swindled
the same way year ago.

SILVER COINAGE.

Stewards Bill before the Senate,
WASHINGTON, May 27.-At the
beginning of the present week few
friends of the free silver proposition
had any hope that anything in the
semblance of such a bill could be
got before congress this session
Yesterday, as the result of an ad-
roit move on the part of Morgan,
the senate was obliged suddenly to
record itself on what free coinage
senators call square issue.
AS a result of the days proceedings,
Stewards free silver coinage bill Is
before the senate asunfinished busi-
ness. 1t has displaced the alien
bill. The outcome cannot be predic-
ted. Anti.silver men say the action
means only profitless discussion of
the silver question, but silver men
say it means the speedy passage of
free silver bill.

Receiver Appointed

SAN FRANCISCO. May 27.-The
suit of M. w. Fox, stockholder
against the Hale and Norcross Silver
Mining company and the Nevada
Mill and Mining company for ac'
counting and for judgment against
each of the defendants in the sum
of $2,000,000 alleged to be due by
reason of certain frauds aud breaches
of trust resulting from unlawful
combinations on the part of defend
ants, ended yesterday by decision
of Superior Judge Hebbard against
the defendants in the sum of ST..
0l2, 1000, and appointing j. j. Groom
clerk of the court, as receiver for the
properties until the amount of the
Judgment has been recovered,
The suit was the most important
mining case in this city since the
celebrated Bonanza suit against
Fair. Maclley, Flood, and the Con
solidated Virginia Co. During the
trial, which lasted several months,
the constant endeavor of Fox was
to show thai the directors Of the
Hale Il Norcross company were
mere dummies installed in office by
Hayward aud Hobart as owners OF
the Nevada Mill and Mining COM
pany, and that the latter corporation
charged exorbitant rates for milling
Hale d Norcross ore, besides unlaw-
fully retaining "slimes" and tail
ingsn that had been enriched by the
defective mode of milling. 1t was
charged that II, M. Levy, president
of the mining company, was in col
lusion with Hayward aud Hobart
and received a subsidy from them.
Plaintiff furthur conteuded that
these transactions extended over Il
long period of time, and that the
stockholders had been robbed OF
millions OF dollars, A question sub
mitted to Judge Hebbard was
whether the defendants had been
guilty of either fraud or negligence
TO such an extent as to entitle the
plaintiff To an accounting.

A RACE WAR r9Ew1NG.
An Editorial in a Colored News
paper Arouses People.

MEMPHIS, May PA colored
newspaper, the Free Speech, by an
editorial paragraph, stirred this
community up almost to the lynch
point yesterday. In referring to
the frequent lynching of negroes, it
says: "Nobody in this section of
the country believes the old thread
bare lie that negro men rape white
women. If the Southern white
men are not careful they Will over
reach themselves, and a conclusion
will be reached which will be very
damaging to the moral reputation
of their women"
The Morning Commercial copied
the paragraph, commenting on it
severely, and the Cimeter openly
intimated that unless the negroes
promptly applied the remedy, il
would be tie duty of the whites to
tie the author to a stake, brand hiui
on the forehead aud commit personal
indignities on him. This was fol
lowed by a call for a meeting OF
prominent citizens at the merchants
exchange. A word would have
secured lynching, but finally q
committee was appointed to wait on
the colored editor and warn him moi
to repeat such language.
The editor is a man named Flem
ing, who was run out of Crittender
