HIS DESPERATE RESOLVE
A Young Man browns Himself
by Clinging to a Sub.
merged Root.
The Comb n Strength of Five Men
R CURED to Loosen His Death
Grip.

DE FUNIAK, FLA, Aug. 21.-One of
the most tragic suicides on record in this
part of the country was that of Frederick
Higginbotham, young Englishman,
which took place last Wednesday after
noon.
Higginbotham was boating with party
of friends on the Yellow River They had
stopped at a raft and, as the day was
warm, had gone in bathing. The party
was lively one and Higginbotham was
in high spirits. Suddenly. In the midst
OF the fun, he sprang on the raft and turn
ing to his companions shouted: "Good-
by, boys; am going to hellT Then he
dived into the water.
At first it was thought that he was in
fun and no attention was paid to him.
But when he did not come to the surface
the others peered down into the water and
saw him clinging to a root and
deliberately drowning himself. His
companions jumped into the water and
tried to loosen his hold, but in vain.
Then after some delay rope was pro-
cured. was fastened around his legs, and
an effort made to tear him free, but so
desperate was the grip that it took the
strength Of five men to pull him up. He
was unconscious at that time, and
although doctor was at once summoned,
it was found to be impossible to resusci-
tate him.
Higgin botham was about rs years of
age, but had led a fast life. He was the
son of wealthy parents in England, and
had been sent to the United States several
years ago in the hope o: breaking up his
associations with evil characters. He re-
ceived a handsome remittance from Lon
don every month. The attempt to reform
him had been vain. He had merely trans
ferred the scene of his designations from
one side of the Atlantic to the other: and
his tragic death was undoubtedly the re-
suit of his excuses.

o'clock Lord Russell and Chauncey M.
Depew, under the leadership of Francis
Rawley of Philadelphia, treasurer OF the
Bar Association, proceeded to the bali
room of the hotel, where the banquet was
served. At the guests table were seated
Chauncey M. Depew, who presided. AT
his right sat Lord Russell, and at his left
United States Supreme Court Judge Rufus
Peckham and President OF the Bar Assoc
citation, James NJ. Woolworth of Omaha.
At the close of the dinner Mr.. Depew in
in few well-chosen words introduced
Lord Russell as the guest of the evening
and his Lordship in brief address proved
that he was equally as well at home as an
after-dinner speaker as on the bench.
The coast 1.-THE Bar Association" was
responded to by President James w.
Woolworth of Omaha in an able manner.
Sir Frank Lockwood of England, the peer
of after-dinner speakers of that country,
was next introduced and in an address
which abounded with humor and wit
captivated his guests. His toast was con-
fined 10 the English bar and most ably did
the distinguished jurist respond for it.
Morefeld Storey of Boston then spoke as
the retiring president. To James Beck of
Philadelphia was accorded the honor of
speaking for the junior bar. The last
speaker of the evening was Bourke
Cochran.

PEORIA, ILL, Aug. 21.-The goId-stand-
ard Democrats of Peoria met this evening
in one OF the largest and most enthusiastic
gatherings ever held in this city. Ex-
Congressman Bynum of Indiana was the
speaker of the evening and he delivered a
strong argument in advocacy of gold as
the basis of the country's financial sys-
TEN.
AT the conclusion of his speech resolu-
rions were adopted condemning the action
OF the Chicago convention on the money
question; approving the action of leading
Democrats in calling another convention
to place another ticket in the field; de-
claring the success of the Chicago nomi-
nees would sound the death-kneli of the
Democratic party; denouncing the refusal
to commend the administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland and the attack on civil
service and the Federal Judiciary, and de-
claring for sound and stable currency.
Delegates were then chosen to attend
the State convention at Chicago and the
meeting adjourned. Several other speak
ers booked to make addresses failed to APP

CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 21.-The National

Kinly at his home week from to-day,
after the Milwaukee convention. Ar
rangements have been made with the

to number at least 1000 men.
The Maine Campaign and the New York

Senator Thurston, Chauncey M. Depew,

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 81. - Chairman
Jones of the Democratic National Com
miutee was busy all day to-day receiviLg
visitors from outside Chicago, most of
whom wanted to get Mr.. Bryan to speak
in their States, and home talent was fire.
auently offered in exchange, but the Sem
ator would make no definite promises or
fix dates until the nominee arrives in
Chicago September 4. Charles A. Walsh,
secretary of the National Committee, was
in Ottumwa, Iowa, to-day, but he wired
Committeeman Johnson that he would be
in Chicago tomorrow.
Senator Jones said Major Towles would
probably be appointed chairman OF
the campaign committee. He also an
nounced that Messrs. Campau, Johnson,
Gahan, Walsh and himself would manage
the campaign from Chicago headquarters,
and Messrs. Mclean, Howell and Smalley
from the Washington headquarters.
Dan McConville of Ohio, who will have
charge of the speakers bureau, will arrive
tomorrow to begin work. Mr.. Campau
returned tonight to his Michigan home,
as his presence is required at the State
convention in Bay City next Tuesday.
After that event he will return
to headquarters to remain until the
votes have decided the battle. He said the
people OF Michigan were waiting for the
promised letter of Mr.. Pingree on the
money question.

So a Big Crowd Is Expected
to Turn Out at the
Meeting.
GOING TO wINNIsooK LODGE.
Senator Hill Said to Have Some Con.
nection With the Visit to M jor
Huxley.

UPPER RED HOOK, N. Y, Aug. 21.-
The Bryan and Sewall campaign will be
opened in earnest tomorrow at Tivoli,
this county, by Mr.. Bryan. With the ex-
ception of his Madison-square address,
the speech he will deliver, it is said, will
be the most important of his utterances
since his nomination. For the first time
he will deal directly with the issues of the
campaign. The meeting has been largely
advertised and a big crowd is expected.
Mr.. Bryan's visit to Major James w.
Hinkley, chairman of the New York State
Democratic Committee, will be made on
Monday. AS to the import OF the meeting
between Major Hinkiey and himself Mr..
Bryan is communicative.
1t is likely that Mr.. Bryan will spend
Monday night at Winnisook Lodge in the
Catskills, where Major Hinkley is sum-
mering, and the two will have every OPP
portunity to discuss the situation In
detail. Major Hinkley, while one of the
gold leaders at the Chicago convention.
has been non-committal since Bryan's
nomination, and his invitation to the can
didate is looked on as positive proof that
he will support the ticket. The signifi-
can't part of Mr.. Bryans visit to Winni-
sock Lodge lies in the belief that Major
Hinkley is acting for Senator Hill and
the claim is made that it foreshadows the
Senator's action at the Buffalo conven-
ton.
A rumor was brought here to-day that
Senator Hill would attend the Bryan
meeting in Albany Tuesday night, where
the candidate will make speech, but it
could not be confirmed through Mr.. BRYAN
or any other source.
A fishing fever took possession of Mr..
Bryan again to-day. With Mr.. and Mrs.
Perrine, their daughter and some friends,
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan drove out to Spring
Lake, couple of miles from Upper Red
Hook, to try their luck with the rod. Mr..
and Mrs. Bryan rowed off to a secluded
part of the lake, and while Mrs. Bryan
fished, her husband produced paper and
pencil and devoted himself to writing.
Neither he nor Mrs. Bryan would say what
he was composing, but every body knew it
was his letter of acceptance.
The party reached Upper Red Hook at
dark, tired and hungry. Mr.. Bryan found
Congressman William SUlzer from New
York awaiting him. With Mr.. Sulzer was
Professor Van Burr Dinslow, who formerly
occupied the chair of political economy at
Chicago University, and is now a writer
on economics generally. Mr.. Sulzer and
Professor Dinslow spent an hour at Mr..
Perrine's house with Mr.. Bryan.

movement siackens much, as is the case at
present. The chief engineers force, both
in the Office and in the field, has been re-
duced 20 to % per cent.
Third Vice President Webb denied yes
terday that there would be any general
reduction in forces. .There is no inten-
ton" he said. "of making retrenchments
apply to all departments. Strict economy
has been practiced for some time in every
department, but the present reductions
apply mainly to the freight-train service,
where men are employed only as they are
needed to handle the traffic. When BUSH
ness is light, as is the case at the present
time, some of the men are laid off,
Vice President Mellen of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad issued
an order to make all possible retrench-
ments in every branch Of the operating
department consistent with the efficient
handling of business. Scores of men are
thrown out of work. The reduction in
expenses was due to the falling off in
freight.
The New Jersey Central has reduced it's
freieht-train force slightly to conform to
the smaller volume of business. but it will
not make any general cut in other depart
ments.
III Second President Merrill of the
Erie said Yesterday that his company will
not make any so-called retrenchments,
after the fas hion of some roads. The road
is always run as economically as possible,
regardless of whether business is dull or
hourishing.
The same principle applies to the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western and West
Shore as to the Erie, and few discharges
are expected. Expenses on these roads
have been kept down to the lowest limit
since the panic of 1898.
All railroad officials who expressed an
opinion about the matter agreed that the
present financial agitation was wholly re-
sponsible for the falling off in business.

RAILROADS REDUCING FORCES.
Men in the Freight Handling Departments
Laid Off Because of Dull
Business.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 21.--The Her
aid says:
Following closely upon the action of the
Pennsylvania Railroad in making reduc-
tons in its forces, as well as in the hours
of work, several of the other big railroads
leading out of New York have issued no.
tees to make retrenchments. This action
is chiefly due to the falling off in freight
brought about by the uncertainties of the
business situation. Officials say that ship
pers appear to be limiting themselves to
the necessities of the next three months,
and are apparently awaiting the outcome
of the election.
The New York Central. while not laying
off men to so great an extent as the Penn
svlvania. has dispensed with many men
in the freight-train service as well as some
of the handlers in the principal yards be-
tween here and Buffalo. A large mum Der
of the freight trains are made up only as
they are wanted, and hence there are nat
urally many Idle crews when the freight
