7TWO persons, husband ana wire,
attempted to kill themselves late
this afternoon in their home at
u "a East Tenth street. The
woman succeeded and the man was
taken to Bellevue hospital in q dying
condition, The cause for the tragedy
is a mystery.
The man is John Bslveccho, an &C.
tor, and tho woman was his wife, Lii
ian. She is said to have been an nc.
tress. The couple occupied furnished
rooms at the address given, AT 4 o'clock
this afternoon other occupants Of the
house heard groans coming from the
room occupied by the Bslveochos.
The door, which was locked, was
broken in and the woman WAS found
dead and the man gasping for breath.
His clothing was covered with blood
which escaped from wounds in his
neck. The woman's lips and the lower
portion of her face were burned brown,
as by the application OF some acid. A
hasty survey Of the situation led those
who had entered to reach the conclu.
sion that the woman had ended
her life by swallowing quantity of
carbolic acid.
From the appearance Of the mans
lips he also had evidently taken some
Of the acid. but not enough to dispatch
him. In his agony. and probably with
view to putting an end to his suffer-
ing. he had jabbed himself in the neck
with q pair Of SCISSORS. which were
found beside him, the blades covered
with blood.
The wounds made By the scissors
were dangerously near the jugular vein.

WASHINGTON SAINT. 81,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81.
~ CONGRESSMAN HOOKER, OF
u New York, arrived in the city
I'm today to attend meeting OF the
W Republican congressional COM
mitttee. Of which he is o member. He
is fresh from New York state aud the
convention which nominated Mr.. Nor
ton for governor. He has been thu ough
number Of the districts in northern
New York. and in consultation with
party leaders in that state. which rem
ders his opinion upon the political
situation valuable.
IL think it is very doubtful if the
Democrats will be able to carry q
single congressional district north OF
Harlem Bridge" said Mr.. Hooker to-
day. GAS to the situation IN Now
York city and Brooklyn l am not 80
well informed, but we will surely
carry twenty out of the twenty. y.four
districts north of Harlem river. There
ia a possibility that Lockwood may
save his district for the Democrats,
but l would not be surprised to see the
Republicans carry it.
"The Republicans of the state are
united. This was demonstrated at the
recent convention in Saratoga, and l
have never seen more enthusiastic or
harmonious gathering of Republicans.
On the other hand the Democrats are
disorganizsd, there is a great deal of
dissatisfaction among them, and there
is no concealing the fact that they are
dishsartened at the outlook before
them. MIR. Flower would have liked
very we'll to have had reelection,
but he felt that defeat confronts the
Democratic party. and he would not
risk ii.
EFFECTS OF THE TARIFF.
- ''The effects of the tariff bill are be-
ginning to be felt already in northern
New York. Even at this early date the
farmers are feeling the ruinous compe-
tition which the new tariff law brings
with Canadian products. The item of
hay alone is very considerable one in
northern New York. There has been
a very short hay crop this year. and
accordingly the farmers should get
good price, but instead they have to
meet the Canadian crop right in the
Buffalo market, which is the market
for all the rest of New York. Cana
dians have been expecting this and they
saved their hay to rush it in under the
new law The farmers are feeling the
effects of the law on other products
and Democratic tariff reform Is coming
home to them with vengeance.
THE workingmen. of course, are
suffering also by lack Of employment
and by very low wages when they do
get work. The manufacturers are doing
their best to keep up and to give work
to their men, but they are having a
hard struggle. The result of all this
will be. therefore, that the Republicans
will not only largely increase their ma
jority at the coming election. but
that they will carry many Democratic
districts as WE'LL"
At present there are FIVE Democratic
congressman from New York, outside
of Kings. Queens and New York eoun-
ties.
