Attempted Suicide.

From the st. Johnsbury Caledonian of last
week we take the following
Mrs. William O'Dell OF Johnson attempted
suicide about half past three Tuesday after
noon in the river Just opposite the st. Johns
bury creamery. Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. O'Dell
and little child arrived in town Monday to
make a short visit with their cousins in
Summervie, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Virgins.
Nothing unusual was noticed in Mrs. O'Dells
behavior up to the time she left the house,
about 1 O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, except
that she at times appeared a little respondent.
She is of nervous temperament and has
been unwell since the birth of her child four
years ago. Before going into the river she
took some laudanum. 1t is presumed that
she obtained the laudanum when she left the
house at about 1 o'clock, as she was seen
walking towards railroad street at that
time. Returning, she met her husband and
they walked slowly up the track to Elm
street where Mr.. Virgins lives.
They were noticed to stop several times
and appeared to be earnestly discussing
something, the husband evidently doing
most of the talking. Their action was not
such, though, as to attract particular atten-
ton. Reaching Mr. Virgins house they
ported pleasantly, the woman continuing
having not the least suspicion of the terrible
deed his wife was about to attempt.
Leaving her husband, Mrs. o Dell was next
seen walking along the banks of the river on
the Summervile side Just opposite the cream
cry. She had in the meantime taken the
laudanum, as she afterwards confessed.
Probably tearing that the laudanum would
not do the work she made up her mind to
drown herself. She waded into the water,
but some men who had been watching her
for five or six minutes quickly followed, and
before she was in the water up to her neck,
they reached her and took her out. She made
one attempt to throw herself under the wat
er, but without success. The first man TO
reach her was Joe Thompson She was taken
into the creamery, where she called loudly
for her husband, Twill" He arrived in a
very few minutes. Doctors were also sum
moned In an hour the woman was suffi-
GENTLY recovered to be removed to her room
at the residence of Mr.. Virgins Mrs.
O'Dell is a young woman about % years old
and very good looking According to the
husband the family relations are perfectly
harmonious and he cannot account for her
actions except from the fits of dependency
brought on by i'll health. Mr.. and Mrs.
ODell and little child left Wednesday for
with Mrs O'Del's mother in the hope that
she will recover her action.

Cotton Future.

New York, November 13.-The trad
ing in cotton this week has been quite
broad. although the market has shown
some inclination to resist the down.
ward tendency. Tn, efforts Of the
bulls nave proved futile and the week
closes with prices at almost the low
est evel. Liverpool broke sharply to-
day. The decline there amounted to
4k-64d, which was rather more than
our market opened 3 to s points down.
The pressure to sell disappeared soon
after the opening and on liberal short
covering part Of the loss was recover
ed. January opened at SCI, advanced
slowly to Soc and closed at 5.64 to SOS,
with the tone Of the market steady.
The opinion among cotton dealers, ex-
pOrterS n spectators is almost
unanimous that prices will surely go
lower, but every one is afraid to be
short and no one has the courage to be
aggressive on that side. ~he labor
trouble in Lancanshire seem to have
been adjusted, but the trade in cotton
gods continues of a discouraging
character. The movement Of supplies
is simply crushing. Crop estimates,
both On the part of the professional
statisticians and the trade generally,
have been raised recently to very large
figures. 1t must be admitted that ev-
cry day which passes without a gene
raj killing frost is fighting for the
bears and that everything at the mo-
ment seems to point to a further de-
cline. Whatever the size OF the crop,
however, it is certain that IL cotton
goes much lower the demand for it by
the public as an investment will be
simply enormous. This class Of buy
ers do not appear ready to take hold
yet, but they will certainly do so on
any material concession. These who
! sell the market around these prices
and derive much benefit will be max
ing history and we cannot advise our
friends to join this class Of pioneers.
RIORDAN & co.
(By Associated Press.)
New York, November 13.-Very dis
| couraging public and private cables led
to a weak opening for cotton and a de-
| cline Of 3 to 8 points on the first call.
The Liverpool cables were much worse
than looked for, showing a net loss OF
4-64d to 5-64d. According to private
cables the English cotton market is in
a demoralized, semi-panicky condition
as the result of increasing crop esti-
mates, supported by q heavy move
ment. Following the opening cal
there was a further loss of 1 to !;
points on some positions, by way Of q
tustment, after which there was a re.
action Of / to s points on most posi-.
tons, with the market finally steady
at a net loss of S to 6 points.
