At HIS PARENTS GRAVES
CHARLES BRATTON MADE THREE
ATTEMPTS TO STAB HIMSELF
While Temporarily Insane From
Grief and DespOndency-A Friend
Grappled With Him and Secured
Possession of the knife-BrattOn's
Injuries Slight.

Yesterday afternoon the citizens of
Bridgeport were much surprised to
learn Of the attempt of Charles B~ratton,
the well known undertaken, to end his
life. Fortunately, the attempt was I'M
successful, and Mr.. Bratton was resting
easily last night, his self-infiicted
injuries not being of a serious nature.
MI. Bratton's friends say the recent
loss Of his parents has deeply affected
him, as he was very much attached to
them. It appears that Mr.. Bratton yes
terday asked Mr.. Chas. Hill to walk out
with him to- Weeks cemetery. Brat
ton proceeded to the graves of his pa
rents, and appeared to suffer much
grief. He undoubtedly suffered from
temporary mental alteration, caused
by his dependency.
Turning from the graves, he drew a
knife from his pocket, and attempted
thre times to stab himself with the
blade. Fortunately, his clothing was
heavy. The knife penetrated it and
lascerated the flesh, but the wounds
were not deep enough to be serious.
Mr. Hill Immediately rushed to him,
grappled with him, and struggled for
possession of the knife. He succeeded
in throwing the unfortunate man to the
ground, and securing the weapon from
him.
Bratton is about % years of age. He
succeeded his father in the undertaking
business, and is well known in
Bridgeport and vicinity. He was
brought to his home, and although he
is very weak, no serious results are ap-
pretended.

The sportsmen of this city have out
a petition which they will present to
the Ohio Legislature regarding the
game laws. The new amendment pro-
hibits non-residents from killing game
in the State. This part is a slap at
West Virginia; also that rabbit and
quail can only be shot from November
10th to December 18th, but does not
prohibit the people from trapping or
sharing this game. The petition also
asks that the law shall limit the num-
Der of birds killed which is quail fif-
teen; pheasant or grouse five; wood
cock five. The movement is on all over
the State, and among true sportsmen
is meeting with hearty approval, and
the outlook for it becoming a law
looks bright.

An important conference, attended
by officials of the National Steel Com

the Aetna-Standard iron works, was
held at the Mcclure House Saturday.
The matter under consideration
which is of greatest interest locally.
was, it is understood, plans to prevent
the removal of the Aetna-Standard TO
Mingo. Aside from the fact that the
paid to employees OF the Aetna
Standard Is mostly spent In this city
and vicinity, there are other important
considerations which made the Wheel

pose the removal of the plant. AS a
matter Of course, to interest in keep
ing the big plant here, is not confined
to its stockholders, but Is general.
1t is also understood that another
matter discussed was the consollda-
ton OF the steel and sheet interests

evening, in the Office of T. NJ. Garvin.
IN Chapline street.
1t is understood semi-oficially that

1t is understood that the banquet of
