USED A RAZOR
On Herself after Trying Hatch
ct and Scythe on Husband and
Daughter.

Mrs. Henderson, of Beechurst Avenue
Attempted to end Life-Is Suffer
ing from Emotional Insanity Lock.
ed herself in Bath r0Om-Cunning in
Getting Razor-Will be sent TO Wes-
ton for Treatment.
Mrs. Mary Henderson, wife of
John Henderson, OF 400 Beechurst
Avenue, attempted to commit suicide
about six o'clock yesterday evening by
slashing her throat with razor. Mrs.
Henderson has been suffering from
emotional insanity since January, and
has taken treatment, but evidently
without much success.
Before attempting the rash act of
self destruction, Mrs. Henderson tried
to kill her husband with Ratchet
and her daughter with a brier scythe.
She was subdued, and the husband
and daughter escaped injury.
Mrs. Henderson then rushed to the
bathroom and locked the door, threat
ming to destroy herself. Her daugh-
ter ran out Of the house and called for
help. John Martin ran In, and found
the door bolted. The men broke it
in, and as they entered, saw Mrs.
Henderson draw a razor across the
front part Of her throat. The wind
pipe was laid bare, but the cartilage
stopped the keen edge of the razor.
Medical attendance was called at
once and rendered the attention neces-
sary. The cash in Mrs. Henderson's
throat was about 6 inches long, but
missed the jugular vein. She will
recover.
Last week Mrs. Henderson attempt
ed suicide by taking carbolic acid.
The dose was too small and her par
ents saved her. She was sent to Pitts
burg some time ago to take treatment.
Her parents live there, and she stayed
with them receiving daily visits from
her physician. The treatment did
very little good, however, and her inn
provement was only temporary. She
is 81 years old.
Her husband and daughter have
been watching her. Mr.. Henderson
was fearful and kept his razor locked
in the top drawer of the bureau. His
wife obtained it by lifting up the mar
bic top, which was kept in place by its
own weight.
Justice Hayes has taken testimony
in the case, and arrangements will be
made to send her to Weston for treat
ment.

LADIES FIRST
Said the Mayor of Mount Morris
When the Blow Started.


He Stepped Aside and His Girl Caught
the Lick Intended for Him Mount
Morris Band Plays and Makes the
Audience Feel Like Fighting-W What
Happened After They Started.
There was sound of reyelry by
night. Fair women and brave men
had assembled TO brave the dangers
which Turk in the festive ice cream
and to withstand the horrors perpe
trated in the name of music by the
Mount Morris Brass Band which
shone Respondent in their glittering
uniforms.
All went happy as marriage
belle who has had trouble landing
her man and Is at last en- route to
the altar. There was nothing to
vex or make afraid at the festival
which was given in Mount Morris
for the benefit OF the band.
With war whoop which put him
in the front rank of bad men from
Bitter Creek Minor Dean hove on
the scene.
His ballast was badly trimmed
and he listed first to star board and
then to lar board. In fact he felt
like the Presbyterian Sunday School
coming back from the picnic Thurs
day evening.
Misther Dean incurred a violent
antipathy to Mayor Higgins and
proceeded 10 thump him. Mayor
Higgins is usually the brayest of
men but he was with a girl this time
and the danger she was in un-
manned him.
He lodged the blow which Dean
sent home and the young lady, who
was Miss Martha Evans, received it.
Higgins led the congregation in
prayer. He felt that he and Dean,
especially Higgins, had but few
nome is to live.
Dean would have completely
wrecked both the mayor and the
young lady but for the heroic efforts
of w. L. Hickman, pipe liner of
great chivalry. He came to the res
cue. Dean had clinched with the
mayor who was offering up suppl
cations at rapid rate. Hickman
smote Dean under the left ear and
both he and the mayor went to the
ground. Frying them apart the
mayor was sent home and Dean to
jail at Waynesburg.

WHITING THE sFENTH WARRANT
Frank Canoe Srill DIGGING the Con-
stables Heels Waiting to be Arrest
ed.

ed.
At twelve o'clock today the at
torney tor the prosecution in the
case OF Gallagher and Fisher against
Frank Canoe, policeman, was enjoy
ed in writing the stenth warrant
for Canoes arrest. Squire Gallagher
of the West Side was lending his
assistance, and it is predicted in
legal circles that if the SqIire's sup
ply of blanks holds out, one that
will hold the prisoner will be issued
by three o'clock this afternoon. Con-
stable Jolliffe says he is getting
awfully tired of Canoe chasing
around after him waiting to be ar
rested.
The story of the first warrant was
related in these columns yesterday.
The second warrant named Gallagh-
er in the affidavit as an agent for
the restaurant company and in the
warrant as one of the "proprietors. J"
Canoe was arrested on this, but it
was quashed on motion of his attor-
ney. Then the wholesale writing of
warrants began, and one after an
other was found defective before
they were served. The prosecution
is taking on the character of a farce.
LATER-At two o'clock this after
noon, the prosecuting witnesses,
Gallagher and Fisher refused to
make oath to the warrant and aft
davit drawn up by the attorney and
Squire Gallaher, and sthe case has
been dropped until after August Is.
The last warrant charged simply
unlawful arrest instead OF trespass,
as the others had, and the restaurant
men bucked out.

DR.. KENT'S LECTURE.
can Old Fashioned Club" DIR.
Johnson the Central Figure.

Remarkable 6roup of men Gathere,
Around Him Burke, Goldsmith
Beauclark, Gibbons, Garriek and
Reynolds-Lecture of Intense Inter.
est.
DR.. Charles w. Kent entertained Q
good audience for an hour at Com.
mencement Hall last night with his
lecture, San Old Fashioned Club.
This with his lecture at two o'clock
this afternoon concluded his engage
ment here. He has been heard with
great deal of pleasure and profit, and
his lectures will be remembered as one
of the best features of the Summer
School OF 1908. Besides being great
authority on English and English
Literature, DR.. Kent is genial, COM
panionable gentleman, and has made
warm friends in Morgantown.
In introducing his lecture last night,
he said he would like TO talk about
the industrial development OF this
part of West Virginia, in which he
knew all were interested. He did not
want to be limited to literary pnr-
suits and subjects, but liked to be in
touch with humanity. The term
professor he did not slike; it was so
wide in its modern application that it
included the bridge-jumper and the
barber, as well as the scholar.
The club, he said, was as old as
Angles Saxon civilization. The Sax
on's earliest conception of heaven, was
a great club, where the disenthralled
spirits of heroes gathered around the
beard to recount the deeds done on
earth. So animated did these discus
sions become, that the heroes fought
over in spirit the deeds done IN the
flesh.
1t was this feeling which led to
the formation Of the club in the 18th
century, Of which DR.. Samuel Johnson
was the central figure, and the equal
Of which the world has never known.
DR.. Kent asked his audience to
think OF the three great invasions Of
England-the Normans from the
South, the Danes from the East, and
the Celts from the West, as waves
setting in upon England at the same
time. These meet in the centre, in
Warwiekshire, and there are pro-
duced the best Englishmen-men and
women like Shakespeare, DR.. Johnson,
and George Elliot. DIR. Johnson was
the theme of DR.. Kents lecture.
He reviewed briefly his early life in
his fathers bookshop, his marriage,
his going to London with David Gar
rick, his early struggles, the writing
OF the first English directory, the
death Of his mother and the writing
Of "Rasselas", in the evenings of a
week, and the formation OF the Club.
DR.. Kent touched with great skill
on the members of the club, one by one.
Lankton, the man whose soul touched
heaven. Beauclark, the decendent of
Charles Second and Nell Guynn,
Burke, the only man whom DR.. john
son admitted called out all his powers,
Sir Joshna Reynolds, who stopped
work day when Goldsmith died,
Goldsmith who adorned all he touch
ed, Gibbons, the historian, Garrick,
the actor, and finally, Boswell the
hero wosshiper and Johnson's biogra-
pher.
He concluded with just and glow
ing tribute to DR.. johnson his influ-
ence and supremacy in the world of
letters. Every word of the lecture
was intensely interesting, and the au-
dience was sorry when it was ended.

New Church st Providence.

A spirited contest has been going
on among the members of the PrOvi-
dence M. E. church, on the prairie
south of Bloomington, relative to
the location for the new church
building to be erected by them the
coming summer.
Those residing near the present
structure strongly favor the reten-
ton of the present site, while the
members in the vicinity of the Dodge
school house favor placing the new
structure there. Separate subscrip-
ton lists have been forwarded the
presiding elder, the lower prairie
people claiming to have won the day
on account of list about $500 larger
than the north people furnished.
On the other hand, the people
near the church insist that the pres
ent site should be retained because
a majority desire 1T and the cemetery
is there.
However the matter is decided
there is certain to be a fine new
church in that community next fall.
