The action of Gov. Clough in
appointing a Democrat to fill the
vacancy in the district judgeship
created considerable surprise to
many republican aspirants. He
is being congratulated for his
courage in making the appoint
ment regardless Of politics, and it
further demonstrates his wisdom
in not permitting political influence
to swerve him from performing
his duties in manner that will re-
ceive the appreciation of the peo-
pie.

There are really no new develop
ments in connection with the Cuban
question, and none are expected until
after Congress re-assembles, but every
hour brings new rumor to the. sur
face as to what is going to be done by
Spain and one or more of the Euro
peon nations if this country interferes
in any way. That these rumors are
intended to influence the action of
Congress is certain, but if they do it
will not be in the direction intended
by their originators. = There are too
few Congressman in town to speak
positively at this time.

The board of county commissioners met
in special session yesterday afternoon ana
annroved the bond of P. J. O'Neil, clerk Oh
the district court-elect. The bond Is in the
s,I,n Of 500 OgO. and is secured by the FL
delity Deposit Company, of Maryland.
This will put an end to Mr. ONell s
trouble as far as his bond is concerned
and If he succeeds in satisfying Ted Nc
T.aughlin's appetite for pie it is possible
that ne will take his office in peace. Now
that he has qualified, it is very likely that
he will assume control of the affairs OF
the office to-day. All of the other new
officials took the oath of office Monday,
hut O'Neil failed to give an acceptaoie
bond and was thus prevented from taxing
his office with the rest. The commissioners
decided to have all the new officials give
n guarantee bond instead OF personal
bonds. Mr. O'Nen did not feel inclined to
comply with the new order and conse-
uuently he was not allowed to take ms
once At first he talked of contestins the
right of the commissioners IN compelilhs
him to give a guarantee bond, but, aftei
thinking twice he finally decided to abide
bv their ruling, and set to work to secure
the required security.
The proceedings threatened to be brought
against him by Ted Mclaughlin on th'
charge of violating the Australian ballo
law are still hanging fire. Mclaughlin
alleges that O'Neil promised him deputy
shin in the office. and declares that unies
he fulfills his promise the suiI VIII m ~ ~

Judge Alden discharged them. it being the
last Jury case to be tried until the begin
ming of the February term. Professor
Davies, on behalf of the jury, arose and in
a well worded speech thanked the judge
for the kindness and courteous treatment
shown them during the term. He stated
that they had raised a fund for the pur-
pose of purchasing tho court present. but
upon reflection decided TO give the money
to a charitable institution to be distrib-
uted among the poor of the city.
Judge Alden was taken completely by
surprise but proved equal to the occasion.

Drpf.iate il far above any material present

in giving the poor and needy the money in

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Samuel Ticktin Swallowed Two
Ounces of Oil of Mustard, but
His Life Was Saved.

His Life Was Saved.
Samuel Ticktin, a former clothing mer-
chant at 1881 Grand avenue, who on Fri
dav. with his partner, Wolf Binkovitz, filed
a chattel deed of trust for $2S5i on their
stock, attempted suicide yesterday at l2:SO
o. clock by drinking oil of mustard from
two rone-ounce bottles. His life was saved
by the prompt action of DIR. ii. u. JeroWitZ.
Since the failure of the firm OIL whlch
Tichtin was member. various stories have nave
been circulated among merchants on uppeI
Grand avenue. Some said that IlGktli
was extravagant and spent money belong
ing to his WIFE Others fW h5eG sYs At before his
failure for $1,000 each, but TO whicn ne MAJ nao
not signed his own name. Then there We're
rumorS that the transfer Oh tne Sloch pe
longing 10 Ticktin & Binkovitz was not
regular. All these things reacheu the e1I
of Mr.. Ticktin and he was ever on the
alert. .
He had been told that the grand jury
was in session and yesterday while ne sat
at dinner with his family, q neighbor poy
that the grand jury was about inyestigat,
ing the police department. Iicktin STAYED
only to hear that the. grand jury was pene
on investigation" when he arose from MS
seat and, rushing madly into his bedroom
poured the contents of two one-ounce DOT
ties of oil of mustard down ms tnroa5. NE
condition was Immediately discovered and
he was dragged. writhing with pam anu
gesticulating wildly, to his bed. Ihe po-
| Ticktin would not permit her husband to
be taken to the police stateion. In short
| while Dr. Jerowitz arrived in answer TO q
| call and bv the prompt application of re-
storatives saved Mr.. Ticktins life. 1t is
always in the province of neighbors tt t
rush in and help the unfortunate Wite OF
| a man who has taken poison. Mrs. Ticktir
was accorded no such distinction yester'
| day however. The odor that arises Wher
| bottle of oil of mustard is opened Is per
| meating to Il marked degree and when Mrs
| Ticktin's neighbors rushed in to offer thell
| services yesterday, they retreated in quict
| time without waiting for orders, and al
| We're wiping the tears out of their eyes.
Mr. Ticktin was reported as resting eaS!
| last night. There is no probability that m
| will die.
