A woman's Deliberate Suicide.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 28. ~ Bertha Ida
Link, living 1t 1919 Vienna street, COM
mitted suicide some time during the night
by partly hanging herself TO a closet door
in her bedroom by means of a towel. She
was 30 years old. 1t is supposed she grew
respondent throughn i'll health. The body
was found touching the floor with legs
drawn up. The gas had been turned out,
and the things in the room had not been
disturbed. 1t is thought she must have
decided on the act shortly after entering
the room. The towel was simply thrown
over the top Of the door, and Bertha placed
her head in the hanging loop and leaning
forward and Withdrawing her feet allowed
herself to hang in that position, thus be-
ing straDgled.

SOME SONGS
OF THE STORM.
The Snow Drifts and Gales Are Sources
Of Complaint.
ELECTRIC RAILWAYS SUFFER !
Drummers Seek the Shelter Of Hotel Cor
ridors and Business Circles Present a
Paralytio Bfect-Pohtical Candi-
dates Fear a Falling or
in Votes.
ELECTRIC RAILWAYS SUFFER

The stormy weather continues to have an
unfavorable effect on all branches of business.
especially the branches connected with the
railroads. Drummers arriving in town conn
plain bitterly of the delays in traffic at
various points. The trolley systems suffer
considerably from the falls of snow and
neither the ears of the Schuylkill Traction,
or Lakeside line, are running through the
town. The cars of the former line reached
Coal street and the Lakeside cars got into the
First ward. The latter cars experience much
difficulty in ascending the heavy grades at
High Point and Yatesville.
Business in town is badly demoralized. The
snow drifts and cold blasts keep many people
under shelter and the only shoppers are
those seeking actual necessities, so that the
patrons at the business places are few in
number. There is also a scarcity of teams
on the street and the general ELECTS much
like that which is brought about bya genuine
blizzard.
The hotel registers present a healthy ap-
pearance and drummors are Laying over i'm
the town wherever they can arrange to do
so, to avoid the disagreeable weather and
rest with a hope Of an improvement in the
condition of the weather for tomorrow.
The greatest complaint comes from the
politicians, especially those interested in the
Citizens primaries to be held tonight. 1t is
frequently difficult to get the voters to the
primaries even when the weather is clear and
fine and the troubles Of the candidates and
their workers are doubled when a snow
storm stares the voters in the face. For this
reason it is quite likely that the vote at the
primaries, taking all wards, will not be as
large as was expected, although some of the
politicians are of the opinion that the hust-
ling of the eight candidates for Chief Bur
CESS will bring the total vote pretty near up
to the usual election mark. The storm has
in no way diminished the energies of these
candidates and their work may prevent the
vote from taking the big drop others expecta
All the collieries in this district were
operated to-day, the storm having failed to
disable them. The only thing that seems to
give the mine officials any anxiety is the
possibility of floods occasioned by a sudden
thaw. They are getting pumps and other
forces to couuteract such an event in readi-
ness.

Willie Shaeffer, the boy burglar who es-
capped from the Wilkesbarre Jail on January
18th, last, was captured at Hazleton yesterday.
He was found in the garrett Of his fathers
home. When the officers reached the foot of
the garrett steps they beheld Shaeffer sitting
on the top step with a revolver in each hand.
He commanded them to halt, and cried, "p1l
kill the first man who attemps to take me,
and then III shoot myself" Sergeant Kline.
however, prides himself on his bravery and
was of the opinion that the threats made by
Shaetfer were only idle ones. He proceeded
up the steps but receded a moment later,
when a shot was fired in the ceiling above.
The boy was subsequently induced by his
father to surrender to the police.

tribunal appointed to determine the boun-
Diary line between Venezuela and British

proval of Venezuela.
While the formal assent of King Oscar

been given, It Is understood that an init
nation has been received that he will ac-
cept. All indications point to the nomi-
aation by the British high court of Sir
Charles Russell and Sir Franklin Lock
WOO as the two members to be chosen by
that body to complete the tribunal
The actual signing of the treaty will oc-
u within o few days. The necessity for

county, was held up by h~ighwaymen, but
put them to flight. He was approaching the

misdeeds, when assaulted by two young men
of muscular mould. With the proves that
distinguished him in the late u-npleasantness,
the gallant bluecoat turned on his opponents
and began a lusty assault. One was knocked
down by "a stiff right on the chin and the

veteran pursued his march in the same
