ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.


MAHANoY CITY, April 25.
Thomas Ward, tired of life and despon-
dent from drink, attempted suicide yes
terday by taking paris green. That he is
now alive and recovering is due to the
prompt action of his wife in summoning
a physician.
Ward, whois about sixty years of age,
lives with his wife aud family on West
Spruce street. He had been drinking
since Thursday, Yesterday morning Mrs.
Ward reproached her husband for his
habits and he promised to do better.
A little before eleven o'clock he was
seen to mix something in a tea cup, sup
posed to be liquor. A moment after he
stepped to the stairway and in pleasant
voice remarked that by tomorrow he
would be happy.
His words excited the suspicion of his
daughter, for he had once before at
tempted to end his troubles while in
liquor. She followed him to his room.
On the bed lay her father, a queer ex-
preston upon his face and his lips marked
with green. On the bureau stood a cup
half filled with poison.
The girl ran out screaming for her
mother. Mrs. Ward came up in time to
see her husband with the cup again to his
lips and about to drain the fatal draught.
With a blow from her hand she knocked
the cup from his mouth and dragged him
to the bed
DR.. Sherman was summoned and ad-
ministered emetics that soon relieved
Ward of the poison. The patient is weak
this morning, but it is thought he will re-
cover.
Mrs. Ward is shrewd featured little
woman who derives a pretty competence
from fortune telling. She gained consid-
erable attention about nine years ago
through the attempt of former husband,
Jerry Brown by name, to end her life
with a revolver. He at the same time
tried to wind up his own career by the
same means, but the ball only shattered
a cheek bone In his trial for attempt to
kill, Brown swore that the cartridge he
exploded before his wife's face was a
blank, and as the point of attack, her ear,
only showed evidence of powder wound,
Brown was released after a short i'm
prisonment. About a year after Mrs.
Brown was annoyed with a pain below
the eye. An examination was made that
resulted il the removal of bullet.

This morning Tax Collector Scanlan
stopped the checking of piece of baggage
at the Lehigh Valley depot this morning,
claiming that the owner was about to
leave without paying taxes. The Pole
who asked for the check said the baggage
did not belong to him, but to a widow
who was going to New York to Join rel
atives. He was told to fetch the widow
and returned with young woman attired
in black. She could not speak English.
but through her friend who had applied for
the check said she was a widow and owned
the baggage. The collector then secured
an interpreter and through him the
woman said she had no husband inShenan-
doah, that he had gone to New York Mr..
Scanlan decided to hold the goods and the
woman started to go away, saying the
baggage was not worth anything and
she would leave it, but just before the
$40 train started out she returned with
another man who paid the taxes.

GROUNDS FOR AN APPEAL.
From the Cklahcma City Timrs-J ournal,

From the Oklahoma City Times-Journal.
The attorneys for Clyde Mattox will ap-
peal his case TO the supreme court and
will assign as error the admission of the
testimony of Tom Whitman. Whitman
testified at Mattox' first trial, but before
the next trial, Whitman was murdered
The evidence given on the first trial was
admitted by Judge Williams Mattox'
attorneys say that no similar case has ever
reached the supreme court of the United
States. A case was appealed from Utah
some years ago, in which the judge ad-
mitted the testimony of man who
had been hired by the defendent
to absent himself. The court was
sustained upon the ground that
the witness was absent through the wHltul
act of defendant himself hence the de-
fendant could not claim error in admit
ting testimony given at a former trial In
the Mattox case nine.tenths of the people
of this city believe that the making away
with Tom Whitman had direct couec
tion with the testimony he would have
given, yet no such evidence was produced
in court Judge Williams ruling may be
technically wrong. but it is morally right.
for any other ruling would place
premium upon the murder of important
witnesses.

an entrance.

man to the publisher, lend me one

That was his pleasant way of start

not find the sum mentioned, but
