ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE
THOMAS ]. BURRELL DEsPoND-
EMIT BECAUSE OF ILLNESS.

Thinking he could no longer stand the
suffering and inconvenience caused by an
attack of Bright's disease, Thomas J. Bur-
rel, respected resident OF Southeast
Washington. attempted to end his life by
shooting himself through the heart He
held the muzzle of the weapon a little too
near the middle line for the bullet to pene-
trate his heart, however, and the attend
ing physicians say he has good chance
for his life.
MIR. Burrell was in bed at his home, sol
9th street, when he fired the shot, his wife
being near him at the time. She screamed
ana attracted the attention of Mr.. James,
who lives in the adjoining house. The lat
ter hurried to NE fifth precinct police sta
ton and notified the officers. Lieut. Nc
Cathran. Precinct Detective Smith and
Policeman Vanzant went to the house and
round the wounded man lying upon the
bed. The weapon was near him and the
detective took charge of it. DIR. f. +. Re-
petit was hastily summoned, and then DR..
Young, the family physician, was sent for.
Lieut.. McCathran, who had known Mr..
Burrell for number of years, wanted to
remove him to the hospital, but the latter
objected to going to institution and
made such pitiful appeal to his wife to
let him remain at home that the latter de-
cided that she would grant his request.
Prominent Resident.
Mr.. Burrell Is one of the best-known resi-
dents of the southeast section of the city.
He is prominent in Grand Army circles and
is a man of some means. 1t is said that
he was employed in one of the departments
Tor number of years, but has remained at
nome recently on account of his illness.
Shortly after o'clock this morning he got
out OF bed and took a small revolver from
a bureau drawer. His wife, who knew he
was respondent and had heard him speak
of his sufferings in significant way, ask
ed him what he had taken from the bureau
drawer
Nothing but piece of paper was his
response, and he then turned and started
toward the bed.
Knowing Ge had the revolver his wife
followed him and endeavored to take 1t
from him, but he resisted, and without in
hlcting any injury on his wife he succeeded
in knocking her down. When. this had been
accomplished he took one step toward the
bed and fired the shot.
Mrs. Burreil screamed when she heard
the report of the small weapon, believing
he had inflicted mortal wound. The
police reached the bedside of the wounded
man within five minutes of the time that
the shot was fired, and summoned the first
named physician by phone. The shooting
attracted a large crowd of curious persons.
When the police had done what they could
for the sufferer they dispersed the crowd
and returned to the station.

DEMOCRATS OF OHIO
MUST FIGHT TO KEEP EACH
OTHER IN LINE.

Special Dispatch &c The Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 9-The two
weeks of the state campaign that have now
passed have been sufficient to show to the
Ohio democrats that their greatest danger
lies within their own ranks. They must
bend their efforts to keep their own men
/: in line for Pattison for governor or the
day will be lost They realize that Patti
son is SO well known as temperance man
that thousands of personal liberty demo-
Gratis will not support him. Democratic
leaders find that the fact that national is
sues cut little figure in the state campaign
this year, which they have been urging as
reason why republicans should not feel
bound to support Gov Herrick. also oper-
ates in like manner against Mr.. Patt;son,
for the argument makes the party harness
rest lightly upon republicans and demo-
Gratis alike.
There is little room to doubt that enough
republicans will scratch Gov. Herrick to
accomplish his defeat If he should get no
democratic votes to offset this detection.
The democratic leaders need waste no eff
fort in converting republicans to the sup
port of Mr.. Pattison. If they can hold their
own men in line Ohio will have demo-
cratic governor next year. The opposition
to Gov. Herrick is overwhelming. 1t is
confined to no section nor to any element of
the voters. Secretary of State Laylin has
figured that it will require net repub-
lican loss of IS per precinct throughout the
state as compared with the vote for gov
ernor two years ago to defeat Gov Her.
rick AT that election the governor had a
plurality of 112,000. 1t seems improba bic
on the face of it that such a gain could be
made by the democrats, but with the ex-
istent opposition to the governor it is not
an impossibflty.
OF course, the rest of the republican state
ticket will be elected. 1t is only the oppo-
sition to Gov. Herrick that causes doubt
as to the result of the election this year.
There is, however. some opposition to At
torney General Ellis for the reason that
he is from Cincinnati and is looked upon
by boss-hating republicans as one of Boss
Cox's men, and William Kirtly, candidate
for the board of public works, who is OPP
posed strenuously by the Anti-saloon
League. Kirtly is hotel proprietor, and
In connection with the hotel there is
bar.
The republican campaign leaders are
bringing into the state campaign many DIS
tinguished republicans from other states,
but the democrats. adhering to their plan
of keeping national issues out of the cam
paign. have SO far announced no orators
except such as the party in this state al
fords. However there is a semi-authentic
report that Gov. Folk of Missouri will
make a few speeches in the state before
the close of the campaign.

Colonization Palm Fails.

A cable from London last night says: The
colonizing scheme of Gen. Booth of the Sal
walton Army appears to have collapsed as
far as Australia is concerned. Gen. Booth
purposed to send out 5000 families, provided
the Australian government would give the
land.
The government announced its willingness
to consider the scheme, but the colony
called loudly for process of selection, in
order to prevent the immigration of needy
colonists.
AS a result. Gen. Booth has cabled Alfred
Deakin, prime minister of Australia ex-
pressing his regret that owing to these
difficulties he cannot proceed with an effort
that is likely to involve a conflict.
