TRENTON, n. j., July 4.-Edwart OFT,
fifty years old, wire drawer, succeeded
in committing suicide yesterday morn-
ing after having made seven different

neck. He then jumped from the grind
stone on which he had been standing
and very nearly severed his head from

HAT TRIMMINGS.
More Work May Be Put on tha
Fairchild Commission.

WASHINGTON, July 4.-Secretary Car
Isle has in contemplationa plan to refer
to the Fairchild commission, now in
vestigating the New York custom house,
what are known as the That trimmings"
case for adjustment. Under decision
of the United States supreme court. |
these cases were decided against the
United States, and it was directed that
the excess of duties paid by importers
on the enormous classification be re-
funded to them. Estimates of the
amount to be refunded vary from threel
to eight million dollars. The process of,
determining the excess due on each in.
voice is tedious and exacting one, and
will REQUIRE the most searching inquiry.
1t will be fully three years before all
the cases can be adjusted. The matteE
has not been fuily determined, but Sec
retary Carlisle is favorably disposed
towards the plan, which has also the
sanction of Assistant Secretary Hamlln.
