POLITICAL NOTES.

Other Items of Interest.

The passage of the partisan bills by the
Legislature made several hundred votes
for tho Republican party. A great many
Democrats have declared themselves
ashamed Of their party representatives in
the Legislature and have announced that
they intend to vote for the Republican
candidates at the city election on Saturday
next. The appointing of the county tax
collectors has been one of the partisan
measures which alone was worth several
hundred votes to the Republican ticket
alone. When the new Constitution BIO.
comes operative then the two tax collec-
tors appointed for the city of Wilmington
will find themselves without anything to
do whatever.
The placing of registration fee Of 81

Committed Suicide.

A special dispatch from Norristown
last evening says; Charles Paist, who was
found dead 10 his office at Devon Inn,
where be was general superintendent for
Coffin q Altemus, committed suicide
with butcher knife by cutting his throat.
He was found with his head pillowod on
his oyercoat on the floor, and new, blood
stained butcher knife still firmly clutched
In his right hand, showing, with the
CHASTITY wound in his throat, where the
pool Of blood In which he lay had come
from.
Mr.. Paist's suicide is attributed to the
recent failure Of the Chester County Guar
antee, Trust aud Safe Deposit Company
OF West Chester, of which he wac a direc-
tor, and in which he and his friends lost
heavily. The reversal by the Supreme
Court of case in which he was in.
volyed also added to his nisfortunes and
anxiety
1t Is believed that Mr.. Paist's act was
deliberately planned. for OH Friday after
noon he telegraphed to his wife that he
would not return that evening, but re-
main away from home over the next day.
Deceased was one Of Norristown'S proni-
nent citizens, and his self destruction is
sad blow to many friends, as well as his
family.

WIDOWS LOSSES WORRIED HIM.

WEST CHESTER, Pa, June 1.-General
Superintendent Charles Paist, of the
Devon Inn, who cut his throat and com
United suicide in his office, was one of the
principal losers by the recent collapse of
The Chester County Guarantee, Trust and
Safe Deposit Company, of this place. Be.
sides being one of The directors, he was one
of tho bondsmen who helped to make
good the $50, 900 State deposit, the share
falling to his lot to raise being $500.
He paid the money, however, without
murmur, and rarely discussed the CON
dillon of the trust company until lately,
when, it is said, ho began to brood over his
financial losses. TO y West Chester friend
the other day he said he did not mind his
losses SO much, but deeply regretted and
worried about the widows and laboring
people who had lost all thor savings in
the crash He said that he felt that the
directors ought to haye been more familiar
with the condition of the companys af'
fairs than they were.
