1 Double lt tempt to Obtain
Itelease from KAfe.
St. Louis, Feb. 16. Even in the
matter of committing suicide the ad
age where there's a will there's a way
holds, good. as. James Winsloe, a
Scotchman, demonstrated very effec
tively yesterday morning. He cast
himself into the river at quite an
early hour, and would have drowned
had not bystanders rescued him and
sent him to the house of his brother-in-law,
on Tenth street, between
Clark avenue and Walnut street An
attempt was made to get him to go to
the City HosDital. but hfi rpfnv1 and
just as the officers left him ho went
out ottne house in his wet clothes,
walking south. Some minutes later
he was picked up, mangled, and torn
to pieces, on the railroad track in the
bridge and tunnel yards between
Ainth and Tenth and Spruce and
Poplar streets. He stood by the track
a short time watching the engines
and cars go by; and at a convenient
opportunity threw himself across the
track in front of a freight car. The
wheels passed over his chest and
crushed him instantly. The remains
were taken to the morgue. In the
pocket-book in his coat was found a
note which announced that his name
was James Winsloe, 4G years old,
married to .Jane Greener in the city
of St. Louis eighteen years ago, and
telling his wife and all his children
good-bye. Winsloe was suffering from
a cancer, which, starting in his throat,
had eaten his jaw out almost com
pletely. Rejected Catholic Jurors De
nounce the Unfair Action of
the Crotch,
Dublin, Feb. 1C In the Commis
sion Court to-day Messrs. Dillon,
Sheehy, Crillx and O'Brien-plead not
guilty to the charge of conspiracy to
induce tenants to refuse paying their
rents. 1 ;
The Crown then proceeded to swear
in a jury for the trial of the defend
ants. Several Catholic jurors, includ
ing one named O'Brien, were ordered
to stand aside. Counsel for the de
fendants protested, and for a while
there was -much commotion. Mr.
O'Brien, one of the defendants, de
clared he would father be sent to jail
at once than be submitted to a trial
before a jury, composed so unfairly
that because' a man's 'name ' .was
O'Brien ho was excluded from it. Mr.
Crilly denounced the Crown's con
duct as ruffianly. Justice Murphy
refused to interfere with the exercise
of the Crown's privilege of challeng
ing the jury.
After a long wrangle a jury of com
posite character was finally sworn.
Its character portends disagreement.

; t
- Boston. Mass.. Feb. 15 Twelve cars
started out from the South Boston sta
bles this morning and this afternoon the
number was increased to twenty-five,
making three minute trips to the city.
The arrest of two or three men for
obstructing the way and o! a dozen
more lor yelling scab " has caused the
crowds to become quiet, so that but two
policemen go on each car
The cars have been fairly well patron
ized, though the opposition barges run
by the strikers carry more passengers.
The company is hiring plenty of new
men, if one can judge by the number of
applicants.
It is reported that Weiclner. Elkins &
Co., o! Philadelphia, have bought a con
trolling share in the stock of the road
and will convert it into a cable railway.
It is believed that the Board of Alder

Consolidated road is trying to effect a
union with the South Boston, but has
not succeeded.
Superintendent-Bancroft, of the Cam
bridge road, put on a new line ct cars

fifty cars in all. Coaches are crossing
the -bridge, .carrying passengers free.
There has been no rioting. The con
solidation of the Cambridge -and Metro

several weeks. The strikers are firm
and do all they can to discourage riot
ing. . : i

of ten years. The gentleman was Mr.
Daniel Chisman, a wealthy farmer
living near Carnie. 111., and the
young woman was his daughter An
nie who. was stolen from home ten

vain until recently,- when it was

boarders, toiho number of fiftv. sat
down to dinner, about 12XO yester
day, and all partook of the food
withojtany complaiut being made.
About 1 o'clock sorao of the boarders
were taken violently ill with symp
toms of arsonical poisoning. Prompt
medical assistance wa3 rendered tne
sufferers. Ten of the boarders who
were not affected had not eaten any
or the brown bread u hlch was 011 the
table. The sickness was attributed
to the wur, stalo meal from which
the bread was mad;?. Among those
who ate the bread and were taken
sick are Dr. Gardner, Dr. Bartlett.Dr.
Hnmestonc,--J p Cubbing, tc-acher at
the High bchool ; Mr. and Mrs. FA

F.S. AmidOn. consisting ofhimself. wile
and three children, were to-day sudden
ly taken ill, with symptoms ol poisoning.
Dr. Fulter found them suffering Irom
headaches and pains in the stomach
which occasioned Irequcnt vomiting.
All the family had eaten heartily ol corn
beef and caboage for supper yesterday.
As the meat had been eaten at two for
mer meals without ill effect, it was con
cluded that the cabbage was the cause
of the sickness. Mrs. Amidon pur
chased it Irom a peddler. Dr. Fuder
thinks the cabbages had become im
pregnated with sewer gas by lying in a
cellar. The children have recovered
and ,Mr. Amidon is improving. Mrs.
Amidon is very sick to night. Dr. Ful
ler will analyze the cabbage. The ped
dler is unknown, but an effort will be
