Emergency Hospital Doctors Have

Emergency Hospital Doctors Have
Saved the would-Be Suicide.
Frank Sherwood, the fresco painter, who
sought to end his life by swallowing two
ounces of laudauum, last evening, as told
in to-day's Morning Times had recovered
from the effects of the poison and was re-
ported this morning to be doing very well.
He is still under the care of the physicians
at the Emergency Hospital.
Near.y all night the doctors worked upon
the patient, ard by electrical applications.
rubbing pounding and shaking ne was kept
from death. To-day, although in somewha
a stupid condition and slightly dazed, his
chief ailment is. a painful soreness, the
result of the heroic measures to save his
life.
Mrs. Sherwood did not visit her husba nd
this morning, and he declined to give any
information whfc1 would throw any light
as to the cause of the deed. 1t is faid that
Sherwood once before attempted to kill
himself.
Sherwood has been employed by paper
hanger on New York avenue and Is about
forty-five years of age. He is married and
has a son living with his wife, from whom
he has been separated. They reside at No.
537 Third street northeast.
At O'Clock yesterday he went to Mrs.
walkers boarding house in half-in-
toxicated condition. He has boarded there
for the past four weeks. After entering the
house he converted for several minutes with
Misses Sadie Walker and Bessie Riley,
who were sitting in the hallway.
Then he complained OF feeling unwell and
remarked that he wished he could get come
sleep. Mr.. Sherwood then stepped out the
front door He met Mr.. ]. A. Walker at
the threshold and told him he was going
to get some laudanum to make him sleep.
Mr.. Walker, treating the matter lightly,
said:
You're crazy, Frank; 1t will kill you"
Sherwood. proceeded to Rowlsnd's drug
store, corner of Ninth and II streets north
west, where ne purchased two drachms Of
laudanum.
Thinking this amount insufficient
he went to Majors pharmacy, corner
of Seventh and G streets northwest, where
he secured an ounce OF the same fluid. He
then returned to his boarding house,
asked for a glass, into which he poured the
contents of the two bottles, and then drained
the glass;

One Sidewalk obstructor and Many
Petty Offenders Given the Sem
tences Their Errors Deserved.

There were fewer violators of the Dis
trict police regulations than usual in the
motley procession that formed in the cell
room at the police court and marched into
the dock OF Judge Scott s court thismorniDg,
aud the fact that no members OF the eofter
sex were In the crowd gave 1t a soniewh
unusual appearance.
The cases were uuinteresting and quickly
disposed Of Promptly at 9:45 Judge Scott
took his seat, aud Bailiff Cole called the
court to order.
Policeman Flynn, who guards the portals
of the District temple of Justice, appeared
as prosecuting witness in the first case
called. The defendants were Tony Walker,
Jerry Walker, John Washington, and
Lucy Lorie, aud the charge against them
was obst ru citing the side walk.
Your Honor, these men congregated in
front of the court this morning." said the
policeman, land when l ordered them
away, they refused to go. SO an led
them"
1t was discovered that Tony Walker
and John Washington had been summoned
to the court as witnesses, however, and
their personal bonds were taken.
Jerry Walker was fined 81 and given
until tomorrow to pay and Lucy Savie,
who is an Italian fruit vender of the male
sex, was fined So, which he paid.
Cirracios was the next man, on an in
formation charged with obstructing the
sidewalk Bailiff Kendig took the infor-
nation and opened his mouth to shout out
the name iii Ills stentorian tones, but as
his eye fell on the name he changed his mind
and handed the paper back to Clerk Harper
with a weary air.
Can't you get it, Mr.. Kendig?" asked
the court.
Its too much for me-" answered the
bailiff.
Cirracios in the meantime stepped for
ward. realizing that his unusual name was
the cause of the trouble. He pleaded not
guilty to the charge, but the policeman
in the case testified that he allowed his
fruit cart to stand on a street crossing
longer than the law permitted, and the
court fined him So.
Jefferson Rarnie pleaded guilty to q
charge OF profanity, and was fined SO.
He took fifteen days in the workhouse In

Score One for Mrs. Bloomer.

A prominent woman's suffragist advocate
said the other day to a reporter: DO you
know that W. 8. Gilbert, who wrote The
Mikdao,' .Pinafore,' Patience and those
other comic operas, got his ideas for a song
in Patience from q woman's suffrage
advocate who was active in New York
forty years ago?"
1.-THE song is, When I First Put This
Uniform On You know it is sung by the
heavy dragons with AYES, Yes chorus.
and is one of the prettiest things in q
pretty opera. Well, when the bloomer
fashion was first brought into notice, in
the sos, Mrs Boomer wore the garb, and
some one wrote a song that was supposed
to be in her words: When First Put This
Uniform On 1t referred to the bloomers,
OF course, in that case.
s.Wben Gilbert wrote the libretto he saw
there was q good opportunity in this song.
80 he wrote new words and Sullivan wrote
the music, retaining the old refrain.

is generally kuown."-New York Press.

Mrs. Hall Removes Suspicion From
Henry Ware.
The negro who assaulted Mrs. Lucy Hall
in Price George county is still at large
Henry Ware is not the man. This fact has
been established by Mrs Hall herself.
Believing that w are, who was sentenc ed
to the workhouse as told in to-day's
Morning Times, might possibly be the man
wanted
Sergeant Anderson sent word to Mrs.
Hall last night, and this morning she went
to the workhouse and had a good look at
Ware. She stated positively that he was
not her assailant. Sergeant Anderson re-
turned to Anacostia and the police will be
doubly vigilant in their efforts to capture
the man.
Deputy Sheriff Middleton has signified
his intention of paying a reward for the
capture of the negro, and the farmers have
determined to spare no efforts to apprehend
him.

ing Times, for an alleged disorderly assem-
bly, in front of the new truck house in course
OF construction on NJ street and New York
avenue northwest, pleaded not guilty when
arratgned in the police court to-day.
Mr.. Peter Mccartney, the contractor for
the work, testified that there was no dis
order, and the men simply went to the
place peaceably to demand money due them.
They should have been paid in full last
Saturday night by Mr.. Cudmore, the sub
contractor, he said, but, although he had
been given a check for the full amount,
the men were only partly paid.
He said that the men were Innocent of
any disordeSly conduct, and that Mr. Cud-
more was responsible for the trouble
Judge Scott decided that the men were
not guilty and dismissed the case.

Southern gentleman, who owned before
the war, among other slaves, the darky
referred to. Therefore the darky takes to
himself all the privileges of the favored
servjtor. Among these is one not allowed to

certain quantity of the product of the dis

ky will not satisfy him. So he produces
an oyster can and fills 1t with what q

UGLY BIT OF COAST.
Marylanders Seek More Life Stations
For Their Shores.

For Their Shores.
Mr.. W. Lee Carey, Of Berlin, Nd, together
with State Senator John Walter Smith,
called upon Superintendent Kimbal, OF
the life-saving service, to-day, to urge upon
him the necessity of providing additional
life stations on the Maryland coast, north
and south Of Ocean City, Md.
They claim that this stretch Of beach,
which is the most treacherous along the en-
tire coast, is insufficiently patrolled. More
than once it has been the scene Of shipwreck
and disaster, and some years ago several
vessels were wrecked and a number OF lives
lost in this immediate locality. They urged
the superintendent to give this matter his
attention.
Senator German and Congressman Miles
are much interested in the matter, and have
promised their support, thinking it is mat
ter which should claim the attention OF the
proper authorities.

A FRIEND IN NEED.
The Pine Bluff Athletic Association Will Give Mir. Ed. Harvey
 a Benefit.

Poor Ed. Harveyl Everybody who knows him esteems him for his kindly acts and courteous ways, and the entire community was shocked when it learned of the terrible mis- fortune which befell him on Christ mas day. MT. Harvey is poor man. He has always earned 8 good salary, yet so generous is he that never an appeal for help was made to him to which he did not respond with liberal hand. He is now a maimed man, caused by one of his hands being blown off by the prem ature explosion of a cannon cracker on Christmas day.
 As token of the esteem for Mr. Harvey held by the members of the Pine Bluff Athletic Association, that organization has determined to give him a grand benefit on Monday night January 27 The affair will be most interesting, as a number of the best amateurs in the city, as well as sew eral professional, have kindly vol unteered their services.
 The entertainment will consist of boxing, wrestling, dancing, singing, etc. Itis safe to say that there will hardly be standing room in the hall on the night of the benefit. The price of admission will be 50 cents, and the exhibition will be worth treble the money, outside of the fact that the proceeds will be de voted to a noble purpose.

HoN. A. B. GRACE, of this city, is being solicited by a number of his entt usiastic Pine Bluff friends to make the race for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court for the place at present filed by ex-Gov. Hughes. We are not advised of Mr. Graees wish ol desire in the premises, but it is a well-known fact that he is eminently qualified for the position. He possesses great literary abili- ty and fine legal attainments, and would easily adorn the Supreme Bench of the State.

THE BIG RIVER. It Is 0verfcwing Its Banks, Break ing Levees and Doing
 Great Damage.

Truly mighty volume of water is sweeping down the Arkansas river, and with such force that it is de- stoying leyees and doing much dam age to the lowlands.
 A report reached Pine Bluff Sat urday afteanoon that the Auburn levee had broken and that it was ex- pected that the tracks of the Valley road through Gum Swamp, near Var ner, would be inundated. Later in the afternoon a GRAPHIC reporter learned that it was a fact that the levee had broken, but the officials of the Missouri Pacific at once sent a special train from Dermott with 200 workmen to repair the break and it was believed that they would suc- cecd.
 Friday evening MT. Walker Jones, who is farming on the ,Hanniberry place, near Cummins, lost thirty five bales of cotton. The cotton was lying on the bank of the river ready for shipment, and the bank caved in and carried the cotton with it.
 The river at this place rose several inches yesterday, but it will reach it's highest notch this morning and then begin to fall.
 The following figures show the stages at the different stations yes terdav afternoon at 2 o'clock:
