Meets Death BY His Own Hand.

Notice has come to US of the death OF
Mr.. Augustus Winslng, q prominent
farmer III Woodville district, by his
own hand, on Sunday night last. The
means employed by the suicide was
the ever ready rope, which, fastened to
hook in the ceiling, provided the way
to an escapement FROM this world and
ITS mlseries; SO, at least, must have
thought the deceased. Mr.. Chas. Ba-
ker, his son-ln-law, discovered the
corpse some time after life had become
extinct. Mr.. Winsiug was twice mar.
ried and up 10 short tune ago seemed
contented with his lot. Ii is supposed
that financial aud family troubles
preyed so on his MUD that, being tenn
porarily crazed, he ended his own e1-
lstence as relief. The funeral TOOK
place on Wednesday, interment being
made IN Prospect Cemetery.

The success Of the electrical carriage
which has for some time been operated
in Paris appears to depend upon the
peculiar construction OF the accummu-
lators. These were designed 10y DR. ID.
Toumassi. aud differ from the ordi-
nary type of oxide of lead cell. Each
electrotype consists of an envelope of
celluloid perforated with numerous
small holes filled with active material
and this envelope contains lead plate
hich serves Is 4 conductor and not AS
a support for active material This
novelty Of construction makes impossi-
hle the falling out of active material.
The battery driving the carriage motor
consists OF p cells, each weighing
about 80 pounds, which are placed in
boxes and arranged in series. They
are capable of furnishing an average
of 100 amperes under a tension of 10
volts for an hour aud half. The car
riage with two persons, weighs about

the first intimation of it was had when
William Bowling, a bartender, was ar

court yesterday charged with having
stabbed McGoldrick. hepatrolman who
arrested Bowling said the prisoner had
struck McGoldrick on the head with a

there is a stab wound which may have
penetrated the lung, and that McGold-
