SHOT HIMSELF.
A SIXTH WARD MAN ATTEMPTS TO COMMIT
SUICIDE
George Williamson Fires Pistol Ball Into His
Left Breast-LOVs and Liquor the Cause
of the Act

About twenty minutes Of eleven
o'clock last night George Williamson,
more generally known as Harry Slemm,
attempted to take his life by shooting
himself in the left breast.
The deed was committed at the resi-
dence Of Miss Emma Brown, on Main
street, two doors from the corner Of
TwentY-sixth, and was from the CON-
bined effects oiliquor and love affair.
Williamson, who is Virginian, is a
hod-carrier by occupation, and has been
boarding for two years past with Mrs.
Eli Greer, two doors south Of Miss
Browns residence. For a good while
back he has been paying attention to
Miss Brown, and the couple were en-
gagged to be married. Sunday night
Williamson came to Mrs. Greer's, but
did not enter, and went of up town
again. Yesterday he seemed to be miffed
about what he considered bad treat
ment, claiming the door had been lock-
ed upon him, and said be went up to
the pool room and spent all his money. "
Last night about nine o'clock William
son called upon Miss Brown, and seems
NShave acted peculiarly. Among other
things he struck dramatic attitude be-
fore the girl, slappirg his breast, and
saying: ''rhis is all I've got, and 1t
beats for you referring to his hearth;
you're the only girl l ever loved. "
Miss Brown said that was all
right, that she knew he had moth
ing, but was content to take him
as he was, and the two spent about an
hour and a half together. About half
past ten Williamson seems to haYe again
become excited over some remark made
by Mrs. Greer, his landlady, which was
repeated to him, aud he jumped up,
drew % calibre revolver, said that he
had something that would fix him,
slapped his breast again and putting the
revolver to his breast, near the region
of the heart, he fired. The inmates of
the residence at once gave the alarm,
and Officer Dan 0Brien soon arrived,
finding Williamson in the front room Of
the Brown residence. Other officers
appeared and "Slemm" was taken into
his boarding house and placed on the
bed in the front room, where he was
soon attended by Drs. Burchinal and
Brannon, and later by Dr. Spragg. An
examination showed that the bullet
had penetrated the breast near the
region OF the heart, struck a rib and
glanced, probably penetrating the cav
itY of the left lung. An attempt was
was to probe the wound, soon after the
arrival of the physicians, but the pa
tient made such a fuss that he had to
be given hypodermic injection OF NOR
phia. A small amount Of blood APP
peared in his throat at various times,
Indicating an injury to the lung. The
revolver with which the wound was
made was a small nickel-pated affair,
.22 calibre in size, and was but little
more than a toy, but fred at such close
quarters, was quite capable of intiicting
serious or fatal wound.
At one o'clock this morning the ply
sicians reported that the patient had
spit up some more blood, and that the
ball had evidently entered the cavity Of
the left lung. How the wound would
finally result, they could not predict.

BRIDGEPORT ABLAzR
WITH ENTHUSIASM OVER THE ELECTION OF
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Democrats Vie With Each Other in Their DecOra-
tons-A Creditabls Procession, Which
Marched in Drilling Rain.

"Grover, Grover, four more years for
Grover"
This was the glad refrain which was
taken up by the Bridgeport Democrats
last night, and echoed and re-eehoed
through the streets of that staid little
city. 1t seemed as il the pent up en-
thusiasm Of the campaign was given ex-
preston in last nights demonstration.
The town was fairly ablaze with pyro-
technics. The drizzling rain which fell
at intervals was very disagreeable, but
did not dampen the ardor of the Bridge
port Democrats, than whom none are
more steadfast and answering in their
allegiance to the party.
The parade was late starting, the de-
lay being caused by the Wheeling dele
CATION, which did not cross the "back"
river bridge until about $40 o'clock.
The Young Mems Democratic Club
turned out strong, aud made good
impression by their fine marching and
handsome appearance. For some rea-
son the German-American Cleveland
Union, which was expected, turned out
only very light proportion OF their
membership. A row Of lanterns was
hung across the west approach OF the
bridge, and when the Wheeling coDtin-
gent marched under it, headed by the
marshals mounted, cheer went up
from the big crowd.
The clubs from this city took the
right of line, headed by MeiSter's band,
and the procession moved shortly before
nine o'clock. 1t crossed the bridge to
Kirkwood, where the residence OF DR..
Cook was handsomely decorated, and
string of lanterns extended from his
residence across the street, while a
bevy of Island girls burned red fire and
assisted in discharging the fireworks.
Kirkwood citizens showed handsome
decorations, among the most notable
being those of E. R. Gilmore, John
Schafer, Max Gaus, n. Kuhn, Harry
Cook, Geo. Mckee, EverlY South, JOS
Lafferty, r. B. Mitchell, Mayor Hatha-
way, Aug. Britenstein, l. M. Fogle,
Robert Clayland, Ross Barrett, Geo.
Duncan, j. G. Dent, and many others.
Almost the entire population was up
on the streets TO witness the parade.
Following the Wheeling clubs was the
Bellaire Young Mems Democratic Club,
which created a favorable impression.
The Bridgeport Club and the Pearson
Juniors turned out strong and were fol-
lowed by long string Of vehicles and
about so horsemen. Several banners
appropriately inscribed were displayed
in the line, and two men carried an i'm
mense horn which made enough noise
to drown the music and the footing OF
the small horns. There were noise-pro-
ducing devices galore, which kept up
an incessant din until nearly midnight.
After parading the streets OF Kirk
wood, the procession re-crossed the
bridge and proceeded out to the west
end. Citizens of Bridgeport proper also
showed profuse decorations, and Wed
with each other in their demonstrations
OF enthusiasm. The route of.march was a
long one, and the clubs were tired when
it was over, but there were no COM
plants.

here without knowing that he was run

FIGHT SHY ON TAXES.
Queer Play of Kansas County Com
miSSiOnerS

ANTHONY, Kas., Aug. 2. - Arson
Farmer, the Alliance member OF the
board of county commissioners who was
abducted by masked men Sunday night,
has not yet been heard from. Commas
sioner Terrell. the Republican member
who was not at home when the abduct-
orS called for him, is still out of the city.
and 1T now begins to be apparent that
there is at least coincidence in his
absence and Farmers abduction. So
long as they remain away it will be i'm
possible for the board of COM
mlssioners to Issue tine special tax
levy for the purpose of paying
Off the bonded Indebtedness as directed
by the supreme court. The bonds to
be paid aggregate $4,000. and their
payment now would just double the
peoples taxes. If the two absent COM
missioners can be kept away the
purchasers of the bonds may be
forced to compromise. Commissioner
Farmer re-appeared tonight. He
stated that he had been abducted by
masked men who blindfolded him and
took him to locality he had no means
of escaping from. The abductors
thought it would be necessary to detain
him only one day, but it TRANSFERRED that
1t would require his absence for nine
days to accomplish their purpose.
Thinking it would be difficult matter
to conceal him that length of time, they
decided to release him, which was done.
