commit suicide to escape the atten-
tons of the fair sex, but such case Is
reported from White River, Indiana:
Frank Iindshmidt, lumber and coal
dealer, was forty years OF age, IN
married and a prosperous German,
having acquired more than $4,000.
during the last ten years. For some
time he had been troubled by two wo-
men who were seeking his hand. His
near relatives objected to his mar

known by both of them, who, more
vigorously than ever, showed their
attentions until they drove him mad;
Late Wednesday evening he notified
all his employees MOTTO open the places
of business Thursday morning. Ihi'
was regarded as serious and search
was made. which resulted in finding
his dead body in the store. He hsc
committed suicide by shooting hin
self through the head.

Foot AmpUtated.

Mr.. David 4. Jones, a well-known
citizen of the kearneysville neighbor-
hood, has been u sufferer for long
time from sciatica. Recently hyper
dermic injection of morphine in one
of his feet caused gangrene to set in,
and his condition became such that
amputation of the foot was the only
chance to save his life. Mr.. Jones,
who is 76 years of age, was perfectly
willing to have the operation per-
formed, and last Thursday the dis
eased limb was amputated between
the knee and ankle. He stood the
severe shock splendidly, and is now
getting along quite as well as could
be expected, considering his advanced
age.

Electricity on Canals.

Electricity on Canals.
The experiment with the trolley for
boats on the Erie canal will now
shortly be made. Ten thousand dol
lars were appropriated by the legisia-
ture Of New York to use in this expert
ment. The State superintendent of
public works has granted to an cleo
trio company permission to begin the
trial of their system on the Rochester
level.
According to the plan of this com
pany the two wires are to be sus-
pended over the canal by poles on
each side, just as they are held in
streets. Lateral motion in the boats
is provided for 10y a flexible wire coiled
up on the deck, and which is kept in
place by Il traveller on the transmits
sion wire, from which it receives the
current and transmits it TO the motor
in the stem of the boat, taking the
place of the ordinary street car troll
lev. There can be but little doubt,
in view of the wonders accomplished
by electricians, Of the success Of the
application OF electricity to the pro
pulsion of canal boats, and it may fl
nally worl, something of a revolution
in transportation. TO equip canal
boat with an electric motor, it is said,
will cost less than team Of mules.
In no pIace will the experiment be
watched with more interest than in
this section. BY it the cheap trans
portatiou OF coal from the Cumber-
land region may be accomplished and
u future for the old canal assured.

ever took from the cottage ON Mount
Macgregor. The general had q fayorite
walking stick, without which he neve,
went abroad, even on his drives, and his
walking stick:hads its own place in the
corner Of hisroom; no hand but his own
ever put it there or took it thence. Day
after day The journey from his chair to
that corner before he set forth, from the
corner to his chair after his return and
the replacement Of the stick in its piace.
grew more difficult. to the generals

corner, stood for. a, moment silently,

opened his tremulous hand and let the
old stick drop from it to the floor at his;
feet. Itwss but a few days later that
