WALL LOST
HIS NERVE
ENTIRELY
After SIashing His Throat in an
Attempt at Suicide, Pascoag
Man Went for Help.

Thomas Wall, 20 years old, of Pascoag,
made a desperate attempt at suicide yes
terday afternoon, using a common jack
knife to do the job, but after administer
ing a terrible wound in his throat, lost
his nerve and went to his boarding house,
where medical attendance was secured.
The would-be suicide was employed as
a weaver in the Lincoln mill at Pascoag.
He went to work as usual yesterday
morning, but just before noon complained
to the overseer and asked permission 10
go out as he felt III. He went to his
boarding house and after remaining
short time went out again.
lie proceeded to the old stock house
near the Kimbal mill ruins where he at
tempted the deed. The knife had a
sharp blade and this Wall plunged into
his throat drew IL upward towards his
right ear, making a terrible wound, but
missing the Jugular vein.
Apparently his nerve failed him at this
stage. for he left the place and started
for his boarding house. his path through
the snow being marked BY a stream OF
blood.
Messengers were dispatched for physl-
clans and I'm the meantime household
remedies were used 20 stop the flow OF
blood. with very little success. BY the
time the first doctor arrived the man
was unconscious. The windpipe had
been cut by the knife blade and tho pa
tient was in critical condition. Many
stitches were required 10 close the wound.
Drs. Bruce and Corier, who attended
the young man, fear that he may not
recover from the self-inficted injuries
Wall was allowed to talk but little and
aside from admitting that the wound I'm
his throat was made by himself. he would
say little further about Il and would give
no cause for the act. Members OF the
household explained that the young man
has not been enjoying the best OF health
for a week or two. but they had noticed
no change In his usual good nature.
wall had been suffering from the grip
and the physicians think his mind was
more or less affected. This morning
Wall was resting comfortably.

RACE WITH A MOOSE.
MIR. Judkins' Odd Experience on
HALFWAY in Maine.

t"is "NNiI ~ =NHSl IlN WI q
Highway in Maine.
Klneo Correspondence Of New York
Sun: Ernest G. Judk!ns, b~ookkeeper for
the Kineo company. had a remarkable ex-
perience with a bull moose or the carri-
age road to Deer Head farm, two miles
from here, early in the week:
Mr.. Judl.ins was taking a morning riue,
galloping along a level stretch, when the
horse came to a sudden standstill with a
jolt and asnort. Looking ahead Mr.. Jud-
lins saw a large bull moose feeding on
the tender sprouts of the bushes growing
by the roadside, not sixty yards away.
The moose apparently did not see the
horse and rider.
Mr., Judkins' first i'm pulse was to ride
the moose down, but he thought better of
this and hooted to attract the animals at
%tention, and possibly brighten him from
the road so that he could proceed, but the
moose fed calmly on. At the end of q few
minutes the beast moved down the road
in search of more food, and Mr.. Judkins
followed at a respectful distance, hooting
until his throat was hoarse. This process
was repeated over half a mile OF road.
At the end Of that distance the moose
faced about and began feeding toward the
horse and rider, casting an unconcerned
look in their direction every now Gnd
then, and Mr.. Judkins' steed did the back
step for a few rods. This was a little too
mlIn for the horseman, and, becoming
Inpatient, he shouted 20 attract the at
tention Of the moose, %plung.ng spurs into
his horse and made for the big animal.
With the first leap Of the horse the in
different attitude of the moose changed to
one Of concern, and, turning abruptly
about, he started down the road at a
clumsy trot. This gave a new and more
interesting phase TO the situation, and
urging on his horse Mr.. Judkins proceed
ed 10 have his share Of the sport, only
hoping that the moose would keep to the
road. The moose obliged in this part.cu-
lar, and the horse, being a good one, en-
tered into the spirit Of the race, but try
as he could the distance between him
and the fleeing animal did not lessen ma
terially.
II never saw anything like it," said
Mr.. Judkins to the Sun correspondent.
That great ~ungainly animal trotted on
ahead as clumsily as q razorback, and
maintained his lead with apparently no
effort whatever, while my horse legged
IT for all that was in him. / had heard
that moose had speed, but when / start
ed after that bull l would have laid ten
to one that / would overhaul him inside
of 200 yards; that j could have ridden all
around him"
After a race covering fully half a mile
the moose turned into the forest and dis
appeared. From October Is on Mr.. JUDD
kin will carry a carbine when he rides.

Fertilizers for Grass.

Several of the experiment stations report
good results from the use of commercial
fertilizers as a top dressing for meadows.
AS q rule the essential plant foods were
all used but in varying proportions. 1t is
interesting to note in all of these reports
that where nitrogen was used in consid-
cradle quantity the yield was proportion
ately large. showing conclusively the need
for nitrogen by most grasses. In the eX-
periments of the writer this plan OF top
dressing has been carried on successfully
and the best results nave been when wood
ashes were used every third year. Our
plan of top dressing is to use 300 pounds
Of nitrate of soda, $50 pounds of acid
phosphate and $50 pounds of muriate of
potash; every third year this is changed
by increasing the nitrate of soda by 100
pounds and using 400 pounds of wood ashes
In place of the murlate Of potash. 1t pays
to top dress meadows, and If the ommer-
cial fertilizers canno be used, stable ma
nure should take their place.
