HARRINGTON, Del, Oct. 2I.-The
Rev. William Cashmere. pastor OF the
Frederica Methodist Episcopal Church.
this morning aroused the Dover Dis
trict Epworth League convention when.
in discourse on temperance. he de-
clared that bribery in Delaware had
grown to such proportions that class
leaders, local preachers. and ordained
clergymen were guilty of taking cleo
uon bribss.
In speaking of the effort made at the
last session Of the Delaware Legislature
TO pass local option law, the Rev.
Mr. Cashmere said that while holding
a conversation over the telephone from
Wilmington to his home In Frederica
the lines became crossed, and he heard
a conversation between a man in Dover
and a brewer IN Philadelphia
When the statement was made that
the local option bill had been passed In
the lower house of the Legislature, but
that for S3, 600 IL could be defeated in
the senate. the reply of the brewer was
that il must be defeated, and that the

NEWBURG, n. Y, Oct 21.-Hanging
with a rope around her neck, placed
there by her mother with the intention
OF ending both their lives, the seven
year-old daughter of Mrs Maria Car
rison had remarkable escape from
death. Her struggles loosened the
moose SO that she was able TO touch the
floor and make good her escape. The
woman died before the child could sum-
mon aid.
Mrs. Garrison. who was thirty years
old. lived with her husband, Henry Car
rison, and their little girl on a farm near
New Hurley. She had been in frail
health for a long time and lately had
shown signs of melancholia. 1t was
during her husbands absence on a Jour
ney to the city with farm produce that
she made the attempt at murder and
suicide.
Taking the child to the barn, she fixed
two halters to the beams of the roof and
made nooses at the ends of both Then
she seized the little girl, adjusted the
rope around her neck and pulled her UP
in the air, kicking away the chair upon
which the child had been standing
Next she did the same with herself The
knot about the girls neck had been
clumslly tled and II gave way during
her struggles.
When the girl reached the home of a
neighbor and gave the alarm the marks
of the rope were visible on her throat
and few minutes later Mrs. Garrison 5
body was found

appreciated Is well known to her friends.
She was hurt indeed when. so far from
laughing at her pleasantries and funny
stories told by her children, her hus-
band would commonly greet her efforts
with the surly remark: What a set of
fools you are
In her petition Mrs. Pohlman sets
forth: This plaintiff. at the time the
