 Cut His own Throat.

Cut His own Throat.
 SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct. 16.-Haven F. Winn killed his 2-year-old son by cutting his throat with a razor and then com mitted suicide in the same way. His wife obtained decree for separate maintenance from the probate court Wednesday and had been given the custody of their only child She then went to live with her father
 Since his wife left him Vim showed determination to obtain possession of his child at any cost. He called frequently at the house and tried to induce his wife by persuasion and threats to live with him again. She positively refused to do so at present, and this refusal maddencd Winn. He had been given permission by the court to see his child, and going to the house with q razor he was allowed to enter, and for several hours he carried the baby up and down in the sitting room.
 His wife and her father meantime had driven to church, leaving Mrs. IIccox and her l4-year-old son at home with Winn.
 Vim began to act so strangely that Mrs HecoN became frightened and sent her son for assistance He called a special police man and on the way back met Mrs. Hecox, who told them that Winn had Killed his child and himself. He laid the baby on the bed and severed the jugular vein with one stroke of the razor, but the child had been able to crawl to the foot of the bed where he died. Winn then went into the sitting room, and standing in front of a looking glass cut his throat, dying instantly.
 Vim was about 30 years of age, of a sul len and morose disposition. He was mar ried four years ago at Battle Creek, Mich. He had previously been stenographer for General Draper in the IIopedale mills, and on leaving was given Bible and warm indorscment as an earnest worker in Chris tian and temperance causes. He then went to Providence, where he was he treasurer of the Home Building association in 1890

THE DEBATE GOES MERELY ON.
Vote In the Houoc Today on McCreary's Bill to Amend the Chinese Restriction Act-ReguIatIon of National Banks to De Discussed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. lG.-Not withstnntling the interesting and important character of the debate progressing in the house upon the question of Chinese immigration and registration, the silver situation in the sen ate, with its related subject of the rules for the management of that body, easily holds first place in public attention. AS to the matter of the rules. there is no be lief that any change will come within the immediate future. despite he introduction of several amendments recently by mem bcrs who want to see the senate governed by rules which will enable the majority to control debate within what they conceive to be reasonable limits. The time for a modification of the rules is not yet ripe. nor will it be, in the opinion of practical observers, until the consideration of the subject can be entered upon without prciu- dice or passion.

This debate has assumed q more in teresting character since Senator Jones of Nevada began his speech Saturday. and it promises to revive a flagging interest in the subject. Probably MT.
