TRIED TO
Cleveland Couple Jump Into the
Lake-ReSCued by Railroad
Policemen.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 31.-A desperate at
tempt to commit suicide was made early
today by Rose Lauer, aged %, Of $40
Lake street, and j. E. Cleckner, aged 80,
of 264 Case avenue.
The couple walked out to the end of
the dock of the Cleveland Yacht club at
the foot of Erie street and tied them
selves together with strips torn from a
bedsheet. They then jumped into the
lake.
Two Lake Shore railroad detectives
were in the vicinity and witnessed the
act. They at once ran down and dived
into the icy water after the couple. The
man and woman had already sunk sew
eral times, but were finally rescued after
a long struggle on the part of the de-
tectlyes. Both were taken to a hospital.
Cleckner is a conductor on the Cleve-
land & Pittsburg road. Beyond saying
that they were tired of living the couple
would give 10 reason for their attempted
suicide.

OBSEQUIOUS OFFICERS.
When the Engineer Attempted tC
Move the Train Soldiers Level
ed Rifles at Him.

Knoxville, Tenn, Oct. 31.-There was
quite a disturbance at the railroad station
here about midnight last night. A battal-
ion of the Tenth colored cavalry was pass
ing through on its way from the Philadel-
phia jubilee headquarters at Huntsville,
Ala, and at this point they refused to al
low the train to proceed under the orders
of the railroad authorities. The officers
Of the battalion left the train at Knoxville
to get something to eat with instructions
to the men not to allow it to leave the sta
ion until they returned. The railroad Off
Gals wanted to move the train before the
officers returned and the soldiers WOuld
not permit.
The railroad authorities allege that the
officers went uptown and remained away
for an hour or more, leaving the train
standing Oh the main track. The rail
road people became impatient and at
tempted to move, but some Of the troops
boarded the engine and ordered the engi-
neer not to start. The railroad superin-
tendent then appealed to Gen. McCook
OF the war investigation commission TO
interfere, but being a reured officer that
official referred them to the commanding
officer of the post. In the meantime
the officers of the battalion returned and
the train moved off. The soldiers com
planned TO ~bystanders that the train was
cot properly provided for their conven-
fence and said this was the reason Of
the disturbance. This the railroad peo-
