ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Joseph R. Willard Gashes Himself
With a Pocket Knife
Wounds Not Considered Fatal. Melan
cholia the Probable Cause Of
the Desperate Act.

J. n. willard, confined in the count,
! jail TO answer before the February
term OF the circuit court the charge o.
numbering T. d. Perry, attempted sui
eide early Tuesday morning by cash
ing himself in four places with pocket
knife. His injuries are not, however,
considered fatal.
At about half past six this morning
Sheriff Durbin was aroused by his
mother, who had been awaked by
groans from the Jail.
An immediate investigation discovered
Willard weltering in his blood He had
gashed both arms on the inside OF the
elbow and the back of the right leg near
the knee. He had also stabbed himself
in the left breast. inflicting quite deep
wound, but little too low 10 reach the
heart.
When found he was very weak, but
Dr. w. II. Byrd, who was summoned in
haste, attended to his injuries and
stopped the flow Of blood.
This desperate act Of Willard's is n
surprise 10 Sheriff Durbin and those
who have had the prisoner in charge,
While he has naturally been in low
spirits, his usual quiet manner has not
given any indication Of a resolve TO make
away with himself.
Deputy Sheriff Estis had a short con-
yersation with him Monday evening,
and asked him II there was any thing
he would like 10 have done for him. He
asked Tor nothing but that he would
like TO have knife 10 trim an ingrow-
ing toenail. which was giving him
good deal Of trouble.
II was known that he had such a
nail, and had previously borrowed a
knife from one OF the other prisoners.
Estes therefore let him have his knife,
intending TO get IL later. However, it
slipped his mind and willard retained
the knife all night.
Willard'a story Is that he awoke
about three o'clock, and got TO thinking
OF his situation and Of his family, de-
priyed Of his support, and he concluded
that his wife and children would be
better off II he were out Of the way. lie
then determined 10 accomplish his own
removal, and the knife supplied the
means.
He must have kept quiet until about
the time he was heard by Mrs. Durbin, |
for another. prisoner in AN adjoining cell
only walked as Sheriff Durbin came in.
II has been a very quiet and orderly
prisoner, having very little 10 say either
10 the deputy sheriff or 10 the other
prisoners. The theory OF the sheriff and

nitted In temporary III of mental

THE SIGN OF THE BOOT.
A Familiar Emblem That Usually
Hangs Over the Door OF the
ShOemaEer's Shop.

The sign Of the boot seen hanging out
n front of the shoemaker's shop may
re made of wood or zinc or of copper.
Of these three the wooden boot is the
cheapest, the copper the dearest. Such
boots, says the New York Sun, have
been made also of chalk and of iron.
sign boots are made in two or three
standard sizes and OF other sizes to or
Ter. They are most commonly seen
Vilded, but sign boots are occasionally
finished in some bright color, as, for
instance, a brilliant red. The boot
signs may be bought in the establish
ment OF the dealer in emblem signs,
where there are also to be found the
gilded fishes for the dealer in fishing
tackle. the great gilded paddock for the
hardware dealer, and Il variety of other
signs of an emblematic character, and
they may also be bought of the dealers
IN leather and findings who make a
specially of shoemakers' supplies.
Besides these familiar gilded or paint
ed smaller boots there is occasionally
seen in front of shoe stores n giant boot
with the foot part perhaps three or four
feet in length and the leg in proper
ton, four or five or six feet tall These
great boots, of which the number used
is limited, are made Of sheet iron or
tin and painted. The dealer who wants
a boot of this kind gets it made to or
der, by some skillful worker in sheet
metals.

Average Life OF An Iron or steel
Bridge.

The permanence of a steel bridge will
depend upon three conditions: the de
sign, the loading. and the maintenance.
If it be properly designed for specified
maximum loading; if oversight be exer-
cised that this loading is never exceed
ed; and if the steel work is thoroughly
accessible and painted at regular inter
walls, there is no reason why a bridge
should not last for centuries As a
matter of tact, however, these condi-
tions are too often ignored or imperfect
ly fulfilled. In the first place, although
bridge designing should always be IN
trusted to a specialist, even if the struct-
ure is to cost no more than the sum
named above, many of the country
bridges and those constructed in the
smaller towns are built from the de
signs $50 called) of the local surveyors,
who may have the vaguest ideas as to
the strains to which the various parts
are to be subjected and the best way to
proportion the different members and
connect them into finished structure.
The construction also should always be
carried out by recognized bridge firm,
for the local blacksmith or machinist's
shop is usually no more fitted for build
Ing good bridges than it is for building
lathes and locomotives. 1t is question
able whether amateur bridge building
can produce structure with useful
life of twenty five years.
To secure the best resul Is the county
officers, Board of Aldermen, or who
ever it is that has the matter in hand,
should first determine exactly what
uses the bridge is to be put to and the
greatest possible loading to which it
vii ever be subjected. This inforina
ton, together with the location and
other data, should then be published for
the benefit of the competing bridge
companies, who should be given a free
hand as to the style of structure best
adapted to the case. In this way a bet
ter bridge and cheaper. will be secur
whose construct ion it might
be supposed the bridge companies
would not be at the trouble to under
take When such bridge is complet-
ed, the question of its life will be one of
care and maintenance. If every inch

care is taken that the bridge is not |
