A GRUBBTOWN MAN SEVERS HIS WIND
I'IPE.
The Ghastly sight That Met the (lara of a
Nurae—The Patient's Throat Cut Prom
Ear to Ear aatl the Blood Standing In
Pools on the Bed—A Case of Most Re
markable Vitality—The Man Will Prob
ably Recover,
Grubbtown comes to the front with a
most remarkable case of attempted sui
cide, the particulars about which ore as
follows ;
On Saturday morning Dr. W. E.
Matthews was called to attend a young
man, Eugene Graham, aged about 'twenty
three, who boards with Mr. Daniel
Luther, Grubbtown. The young man was
suffering of an attack of penuinouia and
was very bad. In the evening Dr.
Matthews again visited his patient and
found him no better, but somewhat
delirious, and recommended that the
patient have a nurse to stay with him
during the night. The recommendation
was carried out.
About 3 o'clock the nurse fell asleep,
the patient having told iiim that there
was no use in his remaining awake all
night. Twenty-live miuutcs later the
nurse awoke to find the patient breathing
in a very peculiar manner, lie sprang to
the bedside and was horror-stricken to
see the man's throat cut from ear to ear.
The windpipe WHS severed and both ends
protruded, while blood was smeared over
all the clothing and had run through the
mattress on the floor. The man was lying
nn his buck with his head thiown away
back, exhibiting the whole wound. He
was breathing a Utile, the air in its pas
sage through the severed windpipe, caus
ing the blood to spurt and gurgle afterthe
manner of a slaughtered animal.
Dr. Matthews was again summoned in
great haste. When he arrived he thought
the man was dying, but administered a
stimulant. This somewhat revived the
patient, who after a while regained con
sciousness, and seemed to realize his sit
uation. I)r. Matthews went to wor':,
after examining the wound, to sew it up.
hoping to be able to save the man's life,
although the cast see.ued a hopeless one.
It was found that in addition to cutting
the trachea, several large veins and ur
tenes had been severed, causing a great
quantity of blood to be lost. Au hour
was required to sew up the cut, it being
necessary to sew together the windpipe,
the cartilages and other parts besides the
skin.
As the oesophagus was not severed the
man was able to swallow, lie became
entirely conscious and rational and could
alter it was all over, write and tell his at
tends what he wanted. It is wondei
ful that the great loss of blood did not
kill him. He could al-o indicate Lis
wants by motions, signifying to his nurse
to put two pillows under his head instead
of one. He could diseernly smell when
whisky was offered him in milk, anil
shook his head negatively, but the milk
alone lie drunk freely.
During the tweatv-live minutes during
which llie nurse slept, Or hum had be
come delirious and had gone to tin
kitchen and procured a butcher's knife in
one cupboard and from the top of auothc
one acoss the room lie had got a ruzot.
While in the kitchen lie began the work,
for there were several large pools of bloon
in various parts of it. He must have
completed tiic job after returning to bed.
for butcher knife and razor were found in
the bed with him.
Three distinct cuts wore on 01 e side
and two oil the other. There had also
been some miscellaneous haggling, mak
ing it one of the most ghastly sights that
could he looked upon.
Dr. Matthews visited his patient again
yesterday evening and repoits him doing
well. The pneumonia seemo much bctlei
and the neck, lie says, looks us well as
could be expected.
Oa the whole it seems to be one of the
host remarkable of cases, and should tin
mtn recover, as there is a chance of his
dong, it will certainly he considered a
featpf surgery.

SAIIIY JACKSON'S HA BY.
UNCLE JACK KNEW THE LORD
WOULD PROVIDE.
Death in the llluckcliapel Dlatrint—A True
Story from the Tenement* of the West
6ide in New York City—"We Have Done
What We Con hi."
A bit of crape, hanging side by side
with a strip of satin ribbon which had
once been white, but was now discolored
by constant use, swung idly from the
tack which held it in place at the en
trance to one of the tall tenements on
the west 6ido. It is in the district known
as Blackchapcl, and all the houses there
about are occupied by colored folks.
There is always a pathos about ascrap
of crape at the door, especially if the
griui announcement is hung out for a
child. But Die lean legged and woolly
headed black children who were playing
shinny in the street were too young to
allow their sport to be interrupted by the
presence of death.
"ONLY SAHAIi'S LITTLE BOY." ,
If any one had asked the stout negress
who lolled at the door, they would have
been answered with: "Oneiey Mis' Sarah
Jackson's little boy. An' it's de Lawd's
bressin' he gone, kase he's bin ailin' eb
ber sence lie was bawn. Wliar does she
lib? Up on de top flo', in de reah. Yo'
cawn't miss it. Jess knock hard on de
do', kase Miss Jackson may be sorrowin'
like, on 'count ov it bein' her Johnnie."
And then, if one had followed her di
rection, he would have wondered if there
never would be any end to the bare, steep
flights of dirty stairs, with the too brief
landings, and the musty, dark halls, and
the black, woolly beads thrust out of half
open doors in a spirit of youthful in
quiry.
But there is an end to all things, and
at last the top is reached. It is lighter
here, and the air seeniß a little more
wholesome, although the same musty
smell of crowded quarters is to he no
ticed. A ladder leads up to a hole in the
roof, and the sun sends a slanting ray
down through the aperture. The block
of sunlight strikes the entrance to one of
the three doors on the landing, and has
only the effect of bringing out in greater
relief the worn pine boards half hidden
by an accumulation of dirt.
It is very quiet on this floor, so quiet
than when the visitor listened he could
hear a sound of sobbing, and then a low
voice crooning words of comfort. A
knock at the door brings the answer:
"Come in." The room is not more than
twelve feet square, and is considered a
large room for a tenement. But tho
question of accommodations is not taken
into consideration now.
There are two persons in the room. An
old woman, whose tears made shining
tracks upon her black skin, was bending
over a young woman who rocked to and
fro in an old chair, sobbing and moaning
Cor her baby. The room was uncarpeted
and miserable. Bags and wads of paper
ituek loosely in tlie holes in tho broken
window panes helped to give an inde
scribable aspect of desolation to the
room.
Upon the only table in the room, its
attenuated form wrapped in an old red
shawl, ragged and threadbare, was the
dead baby. Its little black face, tinged
with a grayish line, was turned up to
ward tho cracked ceiling, and the lids
hardly concealed the dull white of the
eyes.
The babe bad been dead since the day
before, and the mother was too poor to
nury it. Her husband was away some
where. He had deserted her months be
fore, so she need not expect him in her
hour of trouble.
"THE LA WD WILL PERVIDE."
As she rocked the door creaked on its
hinges and an old negro entered. He was
lame, and made his way carefully along
with a cane. A high hat that had seen
years of hard service rested on a fringe
of grayish wool which covered the back
of his head, and n bandanna handkerchief
made a picturesque substitute for both
collar and cravat.
"Ilullo, Jack, yo' back agen?" said the
old woman. "Sairy's bin taken on pow
erf'l scnce yo's bin gone, an' she mos' cried
lier eyes out. Did yo' git enny money?"
"No, an' I'se done clean pestered out,
a-trainjiin' and a-trampin'. What wid
de rheumatics and de sorror'bout, Jacky,
1 ain't mahself."
"Uncle Jack," said the young woman,
jumping up, "I'll jes'ask yor tor go to
one moult place fur do money. Jus' one
tnoah. I'se done wasliin' fur dis lady,
and inebbe slie help me."
"Come, come, gal," said the old man;
"I'se doin' all 1 can fer yer, but the good
Lawd will pervide. Jes 1 jiut j-o' trus' on
him."
"1 know, Uncle Jack, I know dat; but
we mus' do somethiu'," she said.
With unsteady hand she wrote a noto
in a cramped hand on the back of a gro
cery bill, the only piece of paper there
was in the house. The paper was blis
tered with her tears.
MRS. REED- Would you please to help me a little,
i am sorry to ask you, but my Baby died yester
day ot noon, with the Brown-keetera and the gua
tar in the throat. We have done what we could.
I have been sick myself and tho little earning i
bad saved i had to pay out for inedein. lam not
feeling welL From SARAH JACKSON.
Uncle Jack hobbled out of the door and
down the stairs. He had to go a long
distance, and when he came back a gen
tleman came with liint. He had come
in answer to the letter and to see the
dead baby was buried decently. Not
long ago his own baby had died, arid
when lie stood by the table and saw by
the light of the one lainp in the room the
face of the little dead baby lie broke
down and wept. His tears mingled with
those of tho poor black folks about. A
common grief bad torn away the barrier
of race, color and station, and lie was as
sincere a mourner as old Uncle Jack,
who stood with bowed head near him.
And as the old bandanna ncckprcliief
seemed to grow tighter and tighter
arounJ his throat lie said:
"I knew de Lawd would pervide, Sairy,
I knew it, chile, kase he allprs does."—

DAWN IN AN ITALIAN GARDEN.
The pearl robed morning shook her garments free;
In an old garden sown with eglantine.
Faint odors of the white and saffron rose
Made delicate delight, though breeze was none;
And pulsing coolness, gleam of summer dawn.
Stole like a spirit through the ilex shade
Where starlight wamlered with the glow wona
lamp,
Though penciled rays shot from the hidden sun.
Set the air trembling with a sense of bliss.
And every black recess melted to gray
Soft leafage shot witli rose and plumy gold.
Thinned where tho branches touched the pallid
sky,
Invites tho bird to rise on rested wing
And send his love note in a ruffled song
To the mate's drowsy ear, where warm the nest
Lies under blossoms dripping silver dew
The cypress holds its warning finger high
And whispers, "Breathe not now lest the spell
break.
And the earth tranced In beauty, drugged with
sleep,
Arouse itself to ancient pain and loss:'
But us the pale blurred morning turned to gold.
There started from the shade of hoary trees
Half moldercd statues round a hoary fount-
Like harlequin tossing a crystal plume.
A muse with brows august and tragic mask.
Laocoon enwreathed in snaky folds,
And the great archer with his lifted dart
Aimed at the breast of hapless Nlobe;
And then the magic of the dawn was fled.
And day put on its old relentless face.
—Boston Transcript
Actor Sothern's Rebuke.
An old lady, laden with bundles, stood
in the aisle, weary and almost ill with
fatigue. Close by her sat a big brute,
spread out comfortably and complacent
ly over the space that two people could
easily occupy and refusing to budge an
inch when the lady mildly looked with
longing eyes upon the seat. Everybody
glared at him, but he took no notice of
that; there were muttered words of dis
approval, but he paid no attention to
those. At last Mr. Sothern, with one of
those Lord Cliumley stares, so full of in
nocence and simple good nature, leaned
over from the strap on which he hung
and in a very audible stage whisper in
quired; "Excuse me, s-s-sir, but would
you kindly t-t-tell me what k-kind of
nerve tonic you use?" Even the roar of
laughter which followed in the car did
not bring a wrinkle to the mildly beam
ing face of Lord Chumley, but it did
make the old hog leave his seat and the
car.—Exchange.
Tolling a for a I>*U<l Dog.
The citizens of Woodrulf, S. C., wore
startled by the tolling of the Baptist
church bell, and upon inquiry could not
learn the cause of it. Various rumors
were set afloat as to why it should be
rung, but no one could give a satisfac
tory reason. After hesitating a good
while some one. with more nerve than
the others, entered the belfry and found
a young white boy, named James Dar
win, tolling away as solemnly as the sex
ton would for a funeral. He was asked
why he was doing so, and his reply was:
"That his father's dog had just died, and
ho had instructed him to go and toll the
bell to announce the sad news to the citi
zens of the town."—New York Commer

Avoid tl Danger of Fire.
Drafts, flues and the chimney should
be cleaned at least four times a year.
Consult your insurance policy: read care
fully and fulfill all the conditions. See
if your chimney -is up to the required
standard, and that the stove is far enough
from the wall. Know that 110 sparks
can escape any place, especially where
the pipe enters the chimney. It will pay.
Have your fire safe! Insurance money
is hard enough to get when all the con
ditions have been justly complied with.
It is terrible to burn out! If your stove
smokes, find out the reason and stop it.

A CoDirdy of Errors.
Attorney C. C. Babcock is a very hon
est looking young gentleman, and yet he
was twice taken for a thief and once for
a dead beat.
Mr. Babcock went into a restaurant on
Third street and deposited his umbrella
in the rack and hung his black Derby
hat ou a nickel plated hat hook. When
the disciple of Blackstone had finished
his repast lie walked over to the wall and
took what he supposed was his hat, put
it on and started toward the counter to
pay for his breakfast.
An athletic looking gentleman, who
was eating his morning repast and watch
ing his portable property, roared out;
"Come back here, sir, and leave my
hat."
All the ladies and gentlemen in the
restaurant watched Mr. Babcock as he
replaced the hat and took his own.
The young lawyer was as mad as a hor
net and somewhat confused at the con
tretemps. Then he waiked over to the
umbrella rack and picked up an um
brella. The observant gentleman whose
hat Mr. Babcock had taken noticed that
it was his umbrella that was being carried
off, and lie shouted in stentorian tones:
"Drop that umbrella or I'll hand you
over to the police."
Mr. Babcock saw that he had made a
second mistake, and soon fished his own
rain shedder from among the many
others that were in the rack.
Then ho left the restaurant, and he
was called back by tiie cashier, who
came to the door and excitedly said:
"Hadn't you better come back and
pay for your breakfast? You will at least
avoid being handed over to the police."
As ho still had his check for a fifty
cent breakfast in his hand, Mr. Bab
cock walked back and paid his bill, with
the eyes of every lady and gentleman in
the place fixed suspiciously upon him.
One elderly lady audibly remarked:
"He don't look like a thief, hut you can't
tell by looks nowadays what a person is,
as good clothes don't cost much."—Seat

Willi the Tongs.
A great deal of laughter has been ex
pended on womankind for taking the
broom as a weapon in "shooing" an
enemy, but, after all, why should not
one use the implement to which she is
most accustomed? Great execution is
possible with the weapon of our choice,
as an English lady, living in Canada, lias
proved.
She was one day greatly interested in
putting out the family washing to dry.
Sheets and tablecloths were on the line,
which, to her horror, suddenly fell,
dropping her spotless clothes in the dirt.
A large buck, caught by the antlers,
was the cause of the trouble. There was
not a man within five miles—they had
all gone to a neighbor's for the day. The
deer plunged about, and the lady scream
ed. Something had to be done, and done
at once. There was a fine gun in the
house, loaded, but the lady would not ap
proach it, as firearms were her especial
dread.
Among her many possessions she had
a large pair of tongs. She thoroughly
understood this firearm, and with all her
housewifely instincts outraged, she seized
them and began the attack.
Within live minutes the buck's skull
was pounded to a jelly, and then the vic
tor, her clothing slightly torn, sat down
and indulged in a good cry.—Forest and
Stream.
Trout ami Superst it ion.
The trout is derived from a word mean
ing to eat, just as salmon from one mean
ing to leap. The former fish has acquired
some celebrity in folk medicine. Thus it
is a superstition of Shropshire that a pie
dish full of cider should bo taken down
to a river and a good sized trout caught
and drowned in the cider, would a per
son recover from the whooping cough.
Trout and cider were then to be carefully
carried buck to the house, and the sick
person must cat the trout after it has
been fried and drink the cider. In North
umberland for the samu ailment a trout's
head is put into the mouth of the suf
ferer, and. as it is said, the trout is left
to breathe in the patient's mouth. Still
more curiously, Mr. Henderson relates
that a friend, when fishing in Cleveland,
was asked by a peasant to give him a
"wick" (live) trout to lay 011 the stomach
of one of his children who was much
troubled with worms, a trout so applied
being a certain cure for the complaint.—

N no Tailors Make a Man.
Everybody has heard of the saying
that it takes nine tailors to make a man.
and the general supposition is that it re
flects upon tailors in some indefinite man
ner, and no one knows where the saying
originated. Now, the truth is that the
saying is misquoted, and the proper word
is tailers, or tellers, not tailors, as often
written, and its origin can be traced
back several centuries.
It was one of the customs when a per
son died in tile parish to toll the church
bell once for every year of the deceased's
life. But nobody from this could tell
the sex of the departed, so the sexton,
to gratify public curiosity, after ringing
in the usual way the number of years,
would give eight quick strokes if the de
ceased was a woman and nine if it was a
man. This being rung at the end of the
strokes for the years were called tailers,
and thus nine tailers made a man.—

DKATH OF JOHN A. CAMPBELL.
Tlie End Cume WediieMty Morning at 8
O'clock.
Wednesday morning abom 8 o'olock Mr.
John A. Campbell, only son and only sur
vivingchlld of County Commissioner John
Campbell, died at his residence ut No.
418 Third street, Thirteenth ward, Peclor
ville. The cause of Mr. Campbell's death
was lung troubles, induced by the grip,
which attacked him some months ago.
The death of Mr. Campbell leaves his
aged parents childless, as their daughter
and only other child, Mrs. William Wehn,
was drowned in the flood.
The deceased was born and brought up
in Conemaugh borough. Years ago he
worked with Michael Murphy and Nich
olas Carroll, who kept a store in the old
Merchants' Hotel building. He afterward
worked with John J. Murphy in a store
where Dibert's new buiidiug stands.
Later he was employed for a leng time in
the vegetable department of the Cumbria
Iron Company's store.
Mr. Campbell was married about three
years ago to a Miss Rodeu, who, with one
child, a daughter, survives him. His age
was about thirty-seven years.
Camped oil a Volcano.
A special dispatcli from tiie City of
Mexico states that William 11. Richard
son, the young Boston naturalist, lias fin
ished his work in the Sierra Nevada
mountains, and on the active volcano of
Coliina, where lie has been cauiped for
the last two months. From the extreme
summit of the Sierra Nevada lie could
look down into the crater of the volcano.
There wese every live hours or more
signs of activity, great clouds of vapor,
gas and ashes coming up with magnifi
cent effect and rising to a tremendous
height. But from the Sierra Nevada no
sound could be heard.
Richardson, being determined to in
vestigate nearer at hand, moved his camp
to the side of the volcano at great per
sonal risk, pitching his tent at tiie upper
line of pine trees and just below the
lower lines of ashes and lava. From thin
point Richardson and his Indian follow
ers could hear the sounds of the volcano.
One night during the eruption they
could distinctly see the deep red glow of
molten lava as it ran down the mountain,
Richardson was regarded by the natives
as phenomenally during, but his expe
dition resulted in no harm to himself or
to his party. —Boston Cor. New York

The Muscle Shoals Canal.
The obstruction known as the Muscle
Shoals, in the Tennessee river, which
covered about 23 miles out of the 453 lw
tween Chattanooga and Paducah, at its
mouth, are at length overcome by means
of locks and dams built by the general
government, and the river is now open
so that boats loaded at New Orleans can
at all times proceed to Chattanooga, and
most of the time to Knoxville. The dis
tance from Chattanooga to New Orleans
is 1,601 miles, as against 2,0G7 from Pitts
burg and 1,507 from Cincinnati, and it is
claimed the coal freights from Chatta
nooga to New Orleans will be between
60 and 00 cents, us against $1.05 from
Pittsburg. The improvement of this
short piece of the river has been more or
less under construction for sixty years.—

Thieving in China.
According to a Chinese story a miser
had three sons-in-law; one was a tailor,
another a jeweler, and the third a spend
thrift, who did nothing at all. One day
the miser called his third son-in-law and
said to him:
"See here! Your two brothers-in-law
are thrifty men. and are gradually add
ing to the family fortune; the tailor, by
cabbaging a little of his customers' cloth
now and then, you know—bless you,
they don't know it!—and the jeweler by
—well, by debasing the jewelry just a
little, don't you see. But you!" exclaimed
the miser, "what do you do?"
"Father-in-law," said the ne'er-do
well, "you say well. Give me a crow
bar; I will go out, and, watching my
chance, I will break in merchants' doors,
open their tills, and bring you back
thousands of pieces of silver where my
brothers-in-law bring you only paltry
gains."
"What! How?" exclaimed the miser,
in terrible anger; "can it be possible
that you would actually be a tliief?"—

Making Pin* and Needle*.
Metal pins were introduced into Eng
land from France in 1543. Within a
short time after machines were con
structed in England for the manufacture
of pins. "Previously they had been (iled
to a point and the head had been soldered
by hand. Great opposition was made to
the novelty," says Felkin, "but utility
and cheapness prevailed in its favor.
The common sewing needle was brought
hither from India after the discovery of
the route by the Capo of Good Hope.
Before that time sewing was performed
In the method still used by shoemakers."

When you step on a loose brick and an

don't mind little things like that. They
will then admire you and depart won
dering whether your wings will sprout
on this earth or wait until you join the

Making Poets.
The secret is out. Indiana poets are
not born but made, says The Chicago
Inter-Ocean. The teacher in the Indian
apolis high school has issued an order
that every pupil must write poetry and
hand in poems on certain prescribed
days. There is no evasion of the order.
The muse must be captured and brought
into the school room. It seems that Miss
Anderson, the teacher who issued the
order, lias been in the high school for
over twenty years, and that the majority
of the "Indiana poets'are her graduates.
