ANOTHER PLUNGE TO DEATH.


Dropping l9 stories through an
elevator shaft, James Pswesic, 80 years
old, plunged to instant death in the
LsSslle Street passenger station in Chi
cago yesterday afternoon. 1t was the
third suicide of its kind in as many days
in Chicago. The falling body struck on
the roof of an elevator. The iron frame
work os the car was crushed and torn as
if it were so much paper, the body dash
ing through it and striking the con-
ductor. The conductor was seriously in
jured. His right arm and shoulder
caught the weight ofthe descending form
and be was dragged unconscious from
the elevator. Pswesic was an electrician
employed in the station. He appeared
to be in a dazed condition a few minutes
before the tragedy.

Vito SELLING In EnaIand.

AS late as the eighties of the last
century cases OF wife selling were by
no means infrcquent in England, and
the thing WAS given an almost judicial
air by the care with which the ycndcr
was supposed To observe three condi,-
tions-lrst, that the same wife could
not be sold twice; second, that the
price must exceed one shilling, and,
third, that she must be delivered to
her purchaser with halter round her
neck. Thomas Hardy. however. who
made the sale of wife the theme of
his novel, "Thc Mayor of Caster
bridge" says nothing of any such con
ditions.
AS late rs 1887 wife was sold in
halter ut Wakefield for half gulnea,

reported from York In the same week
