Attempted Suicide.

Miss Catherine Gruber, aged about
f: rty years, MORALLY shot herself last
!! .iday afternoon at her home, in
Williamsport, in the left breast with
38-calibre revolver. DR.. S. X. Snively
attended her. Since the death Of her
unmarried sister about six weeks ago,
with whom she lived, Miss Gruber has
been melancholy, and, it is generally
thought, she was mentally unbalanced
when she shot herself. a little girl
about twelve years old lived with her.
Both had been upstairs and went
downstairs. Miss Gruber then went
upstairs again and secured the pistol
and fired. The little girl gave the
alarm and communicated the news to
neighbors, who hurried in. Miss Cru
Der did not lose consciousness. When
people commenced arriving at her
house she expressed desire to close
up her worldly affairs before she died.
She accordingly made her will and
disposed of her property, which is con-
siderable. About year ago her broth
er died and two years ago her parents
died. 1t is thought family bereave-
ment weakened her mind. She ex-
pressed no sorrow at committing the
deed.
The latest news from Miss Gruber is
that she has a good chance to recover.
She says she is sorry she shot herself

IT is quite evident that the Demo-
cratic party will have to get along
without the "gold Democrats" who
bolted the party last fall-that is, the
most of them. They seem to have been
pleased with the importance they felt
last year, and they show no sign Of
coming back to the party. On the
contrary, in the conventions they have
held so far this year, they have put
themselves on such a pinnacle Of self
righteousness that there is no use in
attempting to win them back. The
best thing the Democracy can do is to
60 on in the even tenor Of its way,
receiving all into the fold who wish
to come, but wasting no time on the
unrepentant few who get mad because
their views are not allowed to prevail

THE people are not ready to turn
over the entire government to the
judges of our courts just yet-hence
there is a general sentiment against
this injunction business that is becom-
ing so common. Judges are human
beings like their fellowmen, and dur
ing the past few weeks, right here in
West Virginia, we have had some in
stances of judicial prejudice and igno-
rance that show very plainly that they
are indeed falhble.

THE modern method Of government
by Injunction was used in the most eff
fective manner yesterday by the coal
operators in the Fairmont region, and
the jail at Clarksburg was filed with
striking miners. Last week Judge
Jackson, of the United States Court,
issued injunctions against the miners,
at the request Of the operators, the
object of which was to prevent the
strikers from influencing the miners
who had not struck. Yesterday when
the strikers attempted to commit the
awful crime (?) of marching to the
mines lot Of deputy marshals made
their appearance and arrested 100 Of
them. The railroad company fur
nished transportation to carry about
thirty of them to Clarksburg, where
they were put in Jail to await a hear
ing this morning.
Ex-Governor Fleming was particu-
larly active in prosecuting the miners,
and at his solicitation the railroad off,
Gals refused to carry the strike leaders
or the defenders of the miners to
Clarksburg, although they hauled the
operators and attorneys for the prose-
cution. Governor Fleming was boot
ed and Kissed by the crowd, and he
was denounced by the people general
| ly for his harshness toward the miners.
Judge Golf at Clalksburg refused to
parole the miners in care Of their at
torney, and as they had no way of
furnishing bail they were all sent to
Jail.
The sentiment of the people Of that
section is said to be with the miners,
and there is great indignation at the
injunction methods that are beingused.

able, and as for his future in politics

CRIMSON CLOVER.

Inc acreage sown to crimson clover
IN Delaware this year is much smaller
than two or three seasons ago, saws the
Milford Ne'Os. There are two reasons
for the decrease; one, the fact that
growing for seed is Improbable now.
because of the very low price of for
elgn seed, and the other, that little
clover has survived the intense heat of
the August weather in 1895 and 1896.
The editor of the RuraL NctO Yorker
is a great champion of crimson clover.
In a recent issue of his paper he has
the following to say of it:
We have crimson clover nearly 3
inches high and perfect mat over the
ground. Such clover is just as good as
coat of manure. 1t costs less than anv
manure we can buy. If every plant
were to kill out before next spring. we
should still be far ahead of the OUTLAY.
We would have no more right to blame
the clover for dying than we have to
blame the manure for not reproducing
itself! That is a fact which farmers
must understand. When crimson
clover keeps alive until snow covers
the ground or till the ''heaving" of
spring frosts, it has done enough for
you. To live in the spring is heaping

MEXICO AND COFFEE.

Mexico, according to the report of
COnsul-General William J. Critten-
den, is not only one of the coming cof-
fee countries, but is also comine, to-
bacco country. 1t seems destined. he
writes, to wear the mantle of Habana
IN tobacco production, and, once Sc
cured, it is safe to predict that it will
never pass away, for the soil of the to-
bacco region is so deep as to be practi-
cably inexhaustible, being from 8 to 20
feet IN depth, and in some places even
20 feet. Morever, its extent is prob
ably one hundred times that of a Gu
ban tobacco region, when we take into
consideration the fact that, acre for
acre, the percentage of cultivated land
at the present moment capable of pro-
duclng tabaccO of the very highest
grade is greater in Mexico than it ever
was In Cuba in its best days; we can
easily see from this what will be the
amount produced in the future. Mex
lco's resources in this direction are
so great as to make it GER
tain that it will become rich from its
tobacco alone. No doubt, the result,
consul Crlttenden concludes, will be

AARON BURR's FARMHOUSE.
The Building, Which Is Over a Century
Old, stiII Standing.

On the corner Of Hudson and Cbari.
ton streets is frame building which,
to critical eye, would seem to be-
tumbllng down, or rather would an
parently be if it were not held ND bv
the adjoining building. The window
frames, which once were SQUARE. ara
quite out OF plumb, dropping downward
on the south side. The ceilings are low
on every floor, and on the Hudson street
front the first floor, which is a little
above the sidewalk and reached by n
few steps, has been transformed into
couple of small stores, while the en-
trance to the upper floors is gained
through a door OIL Charlton street. An
extension has been erected on this side
to the main building so as to cover the
lot.
The building was formerly the farm.
house of Aaron Burr and was located
on the top OF Richmond hill, through
which Varick street was cut. When
these streets were laid out, the old
farmhouse was brought down to the
road, which is now Hudson street. and
placed ON a vacant lot, then and now at
the corner of Charlton street. Opposite
to it was placed another frame bouse.
whlch had been removed after the great
fires of 1885 and 1845, from Chambers
street, where it was known as the "Old
Brown jug. This removal had been
caused by the extension of the fra linn
Its IN the lower portion of the CITY. A
few years ago the "Old Brown Jup''
building was condemned and torn down.
In It's place brick structure has been
erected. But so far the old Burr bouse
has been spared, for, although it is ont
OF plumb, the building was so strongly
constructed that there is little danger of |
its falling.
For many years the old house was oo-
cupled by an old time Leather head |
watchman, who, after his retirement
from that service, employed his time in
making leather travelling trunks, which
ne sold on this corner, occupying the
upper floors with his family. At his
death, few years ago, the family, like
many of these who formerly resided in
Greenwich village, removed to the nm.
per part of the city, and the building
has since ceased to be inhabited by one
family. New York Mail and Express
