About 5 o'clock last evening, Jacob
Mautz, of Hickory street, who resides
with the family of Peter Rouner, made
desperate attempt to commit suicide,
ana would in all probability have sue
ceeued had it not been for the prompt
ana decisive action of John Niles, his
hext-door neighbor.
Mr., Mautz, who was formerly in the
employ of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad as a laborer, has
peen i'll for some time, and yesterday
morning, on account of the extreme
neat and while in a state of tempor-
airy mental alteration, he seized a
large butcher knife and began plung-
ing 1t into his body, in the region
OF the heart, inhlcting twenty-six
ugly cuts, and was still jabbing away
at himself when Mr.. Niles arrived on
the scene and forced him to give up
the weapon.
That the attempt was not successful
was the fault of the knife, which was
very dull and had the point broken off.
NO serious results are anticipated as
the wounds are all slight.

FIRE AT PITTsToN.
A Serious Conflagration in Cork
Lane-Damage, $4,000.

Special TO the Scranton Tribune.
Pittston, July IA serious fire oc-
Cured in Cork Lane, Pittston town
ship, about 10 o'clock this morning. A

loon and residence and single dwell
ing house owned and occupied by Mar
tin Walsh was burned to the ground,
while two other buildings close by

The damage win foot up about $4,000,
partly covered by insurance.
