Annie Healey Made a Desperate Eff.
fort to Kill Herself.

Annie Healey, an inmate of % Lack
wanna avenue. attempted suicide az
noon yesterday with two poisons, blue
vitriol and laudanum. Her system had
resisted the effects of both up to mid =
night SO far that the chances of her
recovery were even. The amount of
either drug was not sufficient alone to
kill her, but the two together may COM
bine i'm spite of the constant attention
she was receiving at the Lackawanna
hOspiatl.
She is about 80 years old, and of late
years led a very dissipatcd life. She
has been despOndent for weeks, but
none of her associates knew that she
contemplated self-destruction. She
often commented strongly upon the
cowardliness of women of her class
who killed themselves within the past
year, and said she would never do it.
When she was called for dinner yes-
terday there was no response and Il
visit TO her room found her stretched
on the bed unconscious

shaling of the township was brought
about by the accused officers themsei-

friends. would. they thought. be paid
and there would also he a big find in

went on to state. thinking that all
they would have to do would be to pus

ed and when court ordered a special
levy, collect on them. But they didn't
count on the taxpayers taking a hand
in the matter and / guess they are
sorry now that they weren't satisfied
with stealing what they could from

The reason the township books were
stolen. Mr.. Mullen said. was because
it leaked out that the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western company was
preparing to compare its time books
at the mines with the time books of
the supervisors TO ascertain If 1t
wasn't possible that some men worked
for the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company and Lackawnna
township on the same day.
CONCERTED ACTION URGED.
In concluding his remarks Mr.. Null
len made a really eloquent appeal for
a concerted and unfaltering prosccu-
tion of the cases. You men of Moo
sic" he said, have sent your sons
to Cuba for what? To free the Gu
bans from Spanish tyranny. What
was that tyranny? Unjust taxation.
Cuba was never victimized half us
much in this respect by the Spaniards
as you yourselves are by the officials
of Lackawanna township. If you wish
1t you can stop this tyranny and we
have enough evidence to put the ty-
rants in the penitentiary.
George Beacham. of Oak Hill. an cx-
supervisor, told that ten years ago his
property was taxed $40 and the Off
cials were enabled to pay off $4,000 in
debtpdness. His tax last year. he said,
was $2S.1O, yet the township indebted
ness grew larger.
Mr.. Thompson took occasion to throw
little light on school board matters.

ment that when Taylor borough was
part of the school district the coal
bill for one year, 1894, was $20r. Now

creased, the district pays 81 800 a year
for coal.

when they were about to adjourn that

The Game Wardens VIII Travel
Sporting Haunts Inco2nito.

Christopher Cox was arrested Friday by
Gamewarden Peyton, charged with shoot
ing game out of season. He forfeited col
lateral in the Police Court yesterday
morning.
Major Sylvester intends to enforce the
game laws of the District, being himself
a sportsman of no mean ability he does
not intend that the plover snipe and reed
birds. which were once so plentiful on
the marshes lining the Potomac, shall be
entirely exterminated. He has appointed
a number of assistant gamewardens with
full police authority, and a strict watch
will be kept on the haunts Of the pot
hunters.
These men will be dressed in citizens
clothes and carry a gun, so that the UNI
lawful hunters will not be able TO distin-
guish them as officers. They have been
furnished a list of all the professional and
habitual gunners that are known to the
police. and the descriptions accompany
them have been so complete that. it is
impossible for them to be mistaken.
The practice of going out on the
marshes just before the season opens
when the birds are plentiful and killing
Them by the hundreds for market must
be broken up, Major Sylvester says, and
ne intends to see that the laws on the
9ubiect are strictly enforced.
