TOO COLD FOR SUICIDE.
Henry RydinE~ Plunged Into the Pas.aic-Re-
pentance Came Almost Too Late.

PATERSON. " j.. March l.-Hcnry RydinGs, a
silk weaver. attempted suicide by drowning on
Saturday midnight. but he changed his mind
after he got into the cold water, and then no
had hard time before he saved. He was
taken to tho General Hospital yesterday suffer
ing from the effects OF his chilly plunge.
Rydings had been out OF work for some time,
and OF late had been bosot by many misfcrtuncs.
On Saturday night he went To the mill race on
Upper Spruce street, near the Passaic Falls, and
threw himself in, but the cold water brought
him to his senses. Ho tried TO get out, but the
boarded sides OF the raceway afforded him no
hold. and the swift current carried him along.
Back OF Rogcrs's locomotive works Is u fall
twenty feet high. and over this he was swept.
Then he was borne along until he reached tho
place where the water turns and goes under
Spruce street. Here he managed to grasp an
iron brace OF the foot bridge and cried loudly
for help.
Ex.Assemblyman Samuel Bullock. Charles
Kcssel, and George Williamson came To his
assistance. He was twenty-five feet below them.
and there was no way TO reach him except by
ropes. At one saloon where they applied the
bartender refused, saying: "Oh. we gave IA rope
once before to save drowning man, and never
got thanked for It,"
Henry jackson, another ssloon-kccpcr, fur
nishcd the rope, and Charles kcsscl WAS lowered
10 the glrder to which Rydings was clinging.
Mr.. kessol then fastened the rope to Rydinss,
and he was easily raised 10 the bridge,
Rydingss fingers and toes are badly frozen.

FILIBUsrERIyG ~ THE SENATE.

ALBANY, March l.-To.nights session OF the

and disregarding tho rules. Senator Ellis
worth, under the guidance OF Senator Raincs and
the other sub-lcadcrs, chose tho latter course,
and the resolution was finally declared adopted,
although another motion before the Senate
and had precedence. This was a motion made
BY Senator Grady To postpone consideration OF
the resolution until March at IL o'clock noon.
The Democrats all supposed that they were
voting on this motion. and were consequently
recorded In the Affirmative on the main rcsolu-
tion along with the Republicans. Word had
been passed around among the Republicans
after the roll-call had been begun that
the President would hold that the vote was ON
the main resolution. Those who had already
voted had voted in tho negative. hut those who
voted subsequently voted In the affirmative.
Under the resolution appointing the Trust In.
