Dimier Drink CraZed.

Daniel Dimler, of the South Side, a
one-legged middle-aged man, attempt
ed to end his life at Ais o'clock yester-
day afternoon at his home, 525 Cedar
avenue. Whiskey and it's results
brought on Dimler's determination.
He worked as a moulder in the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western foun-
dry and got drunk. In an effort to get
back home he stumbled and fell, in
!urlng his stump leg. Since that time
Dimler has not worked and has
numbed his sorrows with a food of
whiskey.
To make matters worse Dimlers wife
is visiting out west. She left five weeks
ago and Dimler has been compelled to
look after the five children as best he
could. This was easy when he had
work, but when the accident came and
he took to drink Dimler couldn't stand
the strain, so for the past two days
he has threatened suicide. Saturday he
said to William Zang, who lives in the
same building as Dimler, on Cedar ave-
nue., says he: "Zang I'm going to end
my troubles; you know my wife is COM
ing back, from the west tonight and l
want you to take care of the children
till she gets here, understand" "All
right" said Zang, thinking that the
talk was actuated by whiskey; 'lay
down and sober up" Dimler did ex-
pect his wife Saturday night. and the
fact that she didn't come possibly aug
umented his determination.
HE WAS DETERMINED.
AT any rate yesterday afternoon he
demanded his razor and revolver from
his eldest daughter, Kate. She refused
10 surrender them, and went down
stairs to tell Mr.. Zang Of her fathers
actions.
You go up" said Zang, land get the
weapons and bring them TO me-"
The girl returned upstairs again and
the next thing Mr.. Zang heard was
her screams. He rushed upstairs and
found Dmler stretched on the floor
with blood running from a wound in
his neck.
on the floor near his hand was n
small pen knife with which he had in
filcted the wound. Dmler was uncon-
scious.
Patrolman Sartor was near by at
the time, and was called in. Dimler.
cne hour afterward, was removed TO
the Lackawanna hospital.
The wound is quite deep, nearly sew
oring the wind pipe. Dimler will recov-
er. His wife had not returned from the
west last night. and the children are
being taken care of by a relative in

TAYLOR GIRLS MISHAP.
She Had One Artificial Leg and She
Lost II While Riding a
Bicycle.

What is given in the following ac-
count is true in every particular, as
fifty or sixty Taylor people can testify
to. 1t comes from Taylor and it con-
Germs young lady who unfortunately
has to go through life on an artificial
limb.
The calamity whereby science was
called in to supply a deficiency in
nature happened several years ago on
one of the local railroads. The young
ladys friends, by a series of collec-
tions, secured enough money to pro-
cure and present to her a limb of the
latest fashion and she has worn it
since and worn it with credit to her
friends. So expert did the young lady
become that a few weeks ago she de-
cided to retain her place in this fin de
steele procession by purchasing a BIZ
cycle. She not only decided, but she
did it; and what's more, she learned
to ride in a remarkably short time.
THE TALK OF TAYLOR.
1t appeared miraculous to those who
knew the young woman's sad history
to see her enjoying a spin on a bicycle,
as 1t certainly was miraculous. She
rode gracefully and, to outward ap-
pearances, comfortably. For weeks the
unusual accomplishment has been the
talk of Taylor, where the young lady
lives.
A catastrophe happened on a recent
night. And again the fact of the ver-
ity of this report must be emphasized
The young lady was speeding along
one of the principal thoroughfares of
Taylor when suddenly she felt the force
on the left pedal melt away and she
heard an ominous thud as something
was left behind and struck the road
She was going at pretty fair rate
of speed and could not easily bring the
bicycle under control, as she was half
incapacitated. Finally, however, after
struggle with the right pedal the
wheel was brought to a standstill and
the rider managed to seat herself on
the curbstone, where she waited for
some one to chance by. 1t was in the
night time. remember, and of course
was dark.
The predicament was sad, to say the
least. After ten-minute wait some
one did chance along and to him the
young lady explained the embarrassing
situation and asked his assistance in
restoring herself to her erstwnile means
OF locomotion. A lantern was borrowed
from a house near by and the search
begun.
Many people stopped to either express
coincidence to the young woman on the
curbstone or to assist in the restora-
ton process which was going on on the
dusty road. A street car in passing
lent its light to the good work and
some of the passengers got off at that
point to Join the humane party. The
momentum of the wheel after the acci-
dent had carried the young lady to an
uncertain distance; she could only guess
as to the probable location.
SEARCHED TWO HOURS.
AS an actual fact two hours passed
before success crowned the efforts of
the searchers and a young man re-
stored to her her own.
She then continued homeward.

DOES HE WANT A WIFE q?
New York Herald Says So OF a Country
Gentleman Known in
Scranton.

Under the heading His Fortune For
a Good Housekeeper," the New York
Herald in yesterdays edition publishes
an interesting article concerning the
efforts Of Former Postmaster o. +.
Gunther, of Fleetville, Pa, to secure q
housekeeper ''who," says the Herald,
''if she suits him, will inherit money,
houses, lands, horses and carriages"
The Herald story starts out in this
most Heraldic style:
WANTED-A respectable, we'll educat-
ed, middle aged lady as housekeeper; must
have references. o. +. c., room Sc, Smith
& McNell's hctel, Washington and Vesey.
The Herald man goes on to say that
Mr.. Gunther, who is we'll known in
Scranton, inserted the above advertise
ment in last Fridays Herald. He is
sure that what Mr.. Gunther really
wants is mot a housekeeper but a
wife" The way the story tells of his
wealth, "reputed to be $5O,OOO" is anus
ing. Mr.. Gunther is not penniless but
he either imposed upon the gullible
Herald man or the latter imposed upon
the reading public, so Mr. Gunther's
friends say.
Howbeit the Herald gives a reputed
interview with Mr. Gunther, in which
the old gentleman says:
MANY APPLICANTS.
l want a sensible woman, past miIdle
age who can appreciate a good nome
when she gets it. j have retired from bus
mess now. / own fine house and q hun
dred acres of land at Benton Center, not
tar from Scranton. l have some very fast
horses, some stylish turnouts and my

tcld them | would only pay 81 a month,
but, he added, impressively, they We're
silly, for the woman / take WILL If she
suits me, come into my fortune when /

The Herald in all seriousness tells
how Mr. Gunther won his wealth as q
barber at Carbondale and afterward
as business man at FleetVille. 1t is
also stated that Mr.. Gunther has select
ed neutrality-suspicious. years old,
TALL with brown hair, thinly streaked
with gray" She has a sharp nose and
wears eyeglasses. Mr.. Gunther, IL is
said, will start for home today and will
send check for the transportation OF
his new helpmeet.

by loud cries and q revolver shot which
came from his house. Upon some of
the men rushing there they were con-
fronteds with the strange sight of a
young man trying to shoot his own
father. The boy was seized and Sc
curely bound.
The father, almost in a state OF ex-
haustion, told how shortly before his
boy had suddenly become insane and
made an attempt to cut him with a
razor. After a short struggle Pittinger
got possession of the razor, though get
ting badly cut about his hands and
arms. Tile insane son then drew the
revolver, and though he had promptly
knocked him down with q chair one
shot, which went wide, had been fired.
A struggle for supremacy ensued
which probably would have resulted
fatally but for the appearance of aid.
The young man had, previously, indi-
Gated no change in reason and as he
was q well-behaved boy, the case is
the more deplorable. He was removed
to the Hillside home.

TWO DESPONDENTS
ATTEMPT SUICIDE

whiskey and No Occupation Made
Him Despondent - Mrs. Evans
Mourned the Loss of Her Husband.

Two persons attempted to commit
suicide in the city yesterday; one, an
aged and despondent West Side lady,
succeeded in strangling herself to death
with rope at IL o'clock last night, the
other, South Side man. driven to in
sanity from heavy drinking, cut his
throat with a penknife and is now in
the Lackawanna hospital.
Death entered the household of a
West Side family late last night in q
sad and startling manner. Aged Mrs.
Elizabeth Evans, of North Main ave-
nue., without the slightest hint to her
children, hanged herself after having
apparently prepared for retirement for
the night.
She was discovered about II o'clock
by her son, John Hundon, a dispatch
er of the Scranton Railway company.
The only cause her son could assign
was that she being broken hearted over
the recent death of her husband be-
came despondent and while alone de-
termined upon the act.
Mr.. Hundon and his family occupied
the home with the mother and had left
her with the grandchildren while the
parents made call upon Mrs. John J.
Davis, q sick sister-in-law. Mr.. Hun
don left his wife at her sisters and
came to Scranton, returning home
about 10.45.
In passing his mothers door Mr.
Hundon called out good night" as was
his custom. This time he received no
response. He succeeded in opening the
door to the extent of a few inches.
Inserting his arm his worst fears were
realized by feeling a body leaning
against the door.
Mrs. Evans had hung herself with a
short piece of clothesline fastened to a
hook on the door. She was attired in
her night gown and to all appearances
had been first in bed, getting up after
wards and doing the rash deed.
BEYOND MEDICAL AID.

the woman was past help.

months ago, and she has never ceased
to mourn his loss. Two sons, John

The summer season at Lake Winola
is just beginning to reach its height.
OF the seventy-three cottages which
encroach upon the edge of the pretty
sheet of water all but one Is occupied.
At the Winola house the guests have
begun to arrive in the usual large
numbers and Colonel G. Z. Frear, the
proprietor, is making arrangements
for the entertainment of a large party
of Philadelphia people who will come
this week. There are at present at
the hotel several Philadelphians and n
large number from Brooklyn, Trenton,
and other cities. The lake Is just as
pretty a spot as ever. In fact every
year adds to its beauty Colonel Frear
has done much to beautify the appear
ance of his hotel among the trees.
Flowers have been placed about the
park and along the iron fence, recent
ly built, which hedges in the paths
twining flowers are springing up.
Among the contemplated improvements
about the hotel is electric lighting.
incandescent lights around the roof of
the piazza would add to the beauty of
his hotel from q lake view.
The Columbia Construction company
seems to have troubles of its own as
well as has the dweller along Mulberry
street. However, if one is to judge by
the all-night marches of the teams
hauling crushed stone to and from the
quarries, something is to be accom-
plished. One possible interference has
been avoided this week, and that is
the heavy hand of Brother Dony and
the Sabbath Observance union, for the
teaming stopped promptly at 12 o'clock
Saturday night. This is about the only
difficulty not yet experienced by the
company that received the doubtful ad-
vantage of having a chance to pave
Mulberry street.
