James Hogan of This City
Killed Himself At

WANTED TO DIE.

Act.
WANTED TO DIE

After desperate attempt to kill
himself by cutting his throat and
! breast with knife had failed, James
S. Hogan, former resident of Ell Paso,
threw himself under a moving train
at the crossing of the NJ. K & T. and
Cotton Belt tracks nine miles north of
Ft. Worth and was killed.
The man. who was unknown at Fort
Worth. came up to the station at the
crossing and asked C. A Wells. the
operator for his knife. He was bleed
ing from wounds in his neck and breast
and said he had tried to kill himself
but his knife was too dull. Wells took
him into the station and tried to dis
suade him from his purpose and was
talking to him when an NJ, X. & T.
freight train came up. Hogan said he
would throw himself in front of the
train. The operator signaled the train
to stop before it came close enough for
it.
Determined to Die
forward and took charge of the would
be suicide. They took him a short dis
tance off the right of way and signaled
the engineer to come ahead. When the
train came up even with the men, the
bleeding man jerked himself loose from
the trainmen and threw himself under
a car near the rear of the train. A
wheel struck the man and knocked him
from the track lifeless. Although there
was but a slight wound on the mans
head death was instantaneous
The man told Wells that he wanted
to kill himself on account of family
troubles. saying that he was accused of
having several wives when he only had
one. but did not tell where she was.
He was evidently mentally unbalanced
Identity Established
At the inquest papers were found
on his person which established his
identity.
He was James S. Hogan. who for the
past fourteen months. up till a week
ago was a resident of Ell Paso. He
worked as a switchman for the G. H. in
this city until about three months ago
when he quit to go to work as a brake
man on the 7. & p.
This morning a Herald man called at
9O6 Missouri street where Hogan lived
with his family in home of Jas. Red
mond. Mrs. Redmond said that Mrs
Hogan and children left for Denver a
week ago last night and Mr.. Hogan
started east in search of work a week
ago tonight. Mrs. Redmond was
at the news of Hogan's death
but was not much surprised that he

Girls. 4

If young girls would look ahead it
would sometimes save them from serious
collision with the men they marry. 1t
is here that ignorance is almost a crime.
The young husband cannot understand
it when the wife changes to peevish,
nervous, querulous woman. And the
Young wife does not understand it her
self. She only knows that she is very
miserable.
If ever there is time when nature
needs help it is when the young gill is

associated banks for the week ending to-
day shows: Loans ssS6. $4,000, decrease ST.

The Financier says: The striking feature
Of the movement of money which affect
ed the bank statement of this week. is that
the net gain TO the banks resulting from
Subtreasury operations including payments
to these institutions for bonds and for new
gold, less excess receipts by the Treasury
on the fiscal operations, nearly offset the
loss to the banks caused by gold exports
and the interior movement OF money, there
being an estimated net loss to the banks of
only $57400o. The banks gained 5.56l 500
through bond payments and new gold dis
bursed on Assay Office checks. less trans
fers OF money to the West and South, and
the banks lost to the Treasury S2.7i5.59o
fee for customs. internal revenue. etc,
over payments ON ordinary business. leav-
Rs she nft ss e ths The bank baR o@ @
through exports of gold s2,75S70o. and
through the direct interior movement, less
transfers, s63l 600. making together $3.50.
200. Hence the total estimated loss to the
banks was sS7i.Ooo. II Is noteworthy that
exports of gold were only 1890 more than
the weeks surplus revenues of the Sub
treasury. The bank statement showed a
loss of S.I03.100 in cash. The discrepancy
between this amount and that estimated
doubtless arises from the fact that consid-
cradle sums which We're paid for bonds
we're distributed to institutions other than
banks; also that the bank average system
Is to graf extent responsible for the diff
ference. Loans decreased 1892, 800 indica-
ting liquidation of exchange loan contracts
and deposits were diminished by s76i3 800. or
about 100000 less than the loss of loans
and OF cash. The surplus reserve was re-
duced N.iS2,S15, now standing at s., S,eS9,925."

The readers Of the local papers are un-
doubtedly well acquainted with the name of
Dr. ]. Harvey Moore. as he has been for
some time prominent in scientific and med
lcal circles. 1t will also be remembered
that he received the appointment from two
Governors as oculist in charge of the Mis-
Souti School for the Blind. but what We
wish to call the attention of the readers To
IL the remarkable success that this eminent
scientist has achieved in the Strengthening
OF Cross Eyes. He has placed his life's
work and study in this particular branch
and has probably Strengthened more cross
eyes than any oculist living to-day Dr.
Moore's skill in Strengthening cross ewes
mas won for him the admiration Of thou

the old way of operating on cross eyes
