TZELIEE! RAZOR!

William Schmidt the Chestnnt Street Baker Takes His Own Life. Cause, Insanity.

About 6:30 o'clock last evening the neighborhood in the vicinity of the Union Depot was thrown into an unusual excitement on account of a report which circulated about with electric rapidity, stating that Wm. Schmidt, the baker, whose shop is situated on Chestnut street between Ninth and Tenth, had taken his own life. A large crowd quickly gathered about the place, aud it was with the greatest difficulty that the house could be kept clear of persons whose curiosity got the better of their judgment. The cause of the act so far as we are able to ascertain is about as follows: The youngest son of the deceased who was the Benjamin of the family, died about the middle of last December, and his death caused the intense sorrow of his father so much so as to effect the brain. The old gentleman who is about 45 years has, according to the statement of his elder son, been more or less insane ever since the above mentioned date. At times however he was sane and would work with the bakers in the shop. His condition had been growing more critical as time advanced, and the family was yesterday morning discussing the propriety of placing him in the charge of persons whose duty would be to watch him. He has since his late trouble been under the trt^atment of Dr. Willien, who instructed th0 members of the family to keep an eye on his actions and thus prevent trouble which was likely to arise from a person in that state of mind. The deceased was worse yesterday than at any previous time and would talk to no one except occasionally- he would entreat his folks to allow him to be free and not lock him in the asylum.

At six o'clock he, accompanied by his wife, who has been sick, came down to supper. While at the table one of the bakers named Charlie Walzcr went up stair to lie down, and was immediately followed by Mr. Schmidt, who went into an adjoining room. He had been there but a short time when Mr. Waltzer says ho heard a gurgling noise and raised to atqeqtain the cause. Seeing nothing to cause suspicion, he again laid down, and the noise was repeated louder than before. Determined to find out the cause he arose, and stepping to the door there saw the ghastly spectacle. Mr. Schmidt was lying in the hall with his throat cut from car to car. and the head nearly severed from the body. This was done after the victim had cut both wrists, which alone would have caused his death.

Deceased removed from Prussia to Dayton, Ohio, ten years ago, where he remained until about one year ago, when he came to this city and had been in the baking business at his pleasant situation until the time of his death.

He leaves a family consisting of a wife and five children to mourn his loss, who have the deepest sympathy of friends and citizens.

which pleased his auditors very much. The crowd then went to the residence of E. Bleemel, the Democratic candidate for Councilman, where speeches were made by Messrs. Bleemel, Crow and Taylor. Three cheers for [each ticket, from the ward to the National, kept the crowd cheering until t^ey were hoarse. After the escort became quiet enough the order was given and they started back to headquarters and the crowd dispersed.

The Temperance Meeting. The attendance at the temperance meeting last evening at the Wigwam was large. The announcement was made that the meeting would be held at the Wigwam this evening. Mr. Dunn made the opening speech, and Jimmie Hughes, Rossman, Guerineau, Butler, Montfered and Mrs. Scott gave short talks. Thirty-three persons signed the pledge.

Mr. Dunn announced his political standpoint. Though a Democrat, he never would vote for a drinking Democrat or a drinking Republican. My politics are to vote for sober men. He rejoiced to know there were temperance Democrats. It done him good to hear Mr. Littlefield, the editor of a Democratic paper, announce himself a temperance man, and advocate temperance in his paper. He gave an instance of the way whisky drinkers and whisky seekers had brought forward a miserable, ignorant man for the oflicc of Representative*in Pennsylvania, in a low miserable saloon, and was nominated by the convention, and the good people were ignorant of the whole matter and went to the polls and elected him just the same as if he had been the purest and best man on earth. (A voice, he was a Democrat.) No, he was a Republican, but the Democrats helped to bring him out. You sober, temperance and christian people never attend the primary elections, and such men are placed in nomination, and you wonder why you had drunken office holders. He had a plan that would rid the State of Indiana of every saloon within five years. (A voice, we would like to know that plan, and the sooner it is adopted the better.) The plan was to secure the pledge of 25,000 men in the state to vote for none, but temperance men and measures.

We thought to ourselves that Mr. Dunn would have a good deal of scratching to do in Indiana if he voted for none but sober Democrats. The Freedom and Rights organ of this and every other state, devo ted to the interest of saloon keepers alone, are the pet keepers of the Democrats. If Mr. Dunn votes for none but sober Democrats, he is all right for a good strong Republican vote. We hope he will persuade the Democrats of Indiana to do the same thing. He certainly has a big field to labor in, but he must make pure converts of them—that is, they must vote for none but good sober men for office. We don't want any of your Luther Benson temperance sons of Democrats, drink-whisky or-let-it-alone-just-as-it-suits-them, but don't let it alone. We want simon pure fellows. Dunn's sort of Democracy carried out in full will be a great help to the Republican ticket, because we have none but the best men out for office.

We have nothing to do with the temperance movement, except to rcjoice oyer every drunkard saved from ruin. Our place is to advocate the principles of the Republican party, believing it to be the best party in existence for the elevation of mankind. So we understand, the temperance movement is non-political and non-sectarian, we give Mr. Dunn and the temperance cause the benefit of suggestions above. We are glad to hear of temperance Democrats, as they area scarce article hereabouts.

Mr. Dunn closed with an appeal to the drinker for his own benefit, -the sober man for his influence over others, to come forward and sicn the pledge, and as stated some thirty or more did so.

LONDON, August 11.—'The iron masters of the West of Scotland met at Glasgow to-day and fully considered the position of the iron and coal trades. They agreed that the state of trade did not warrant an advance in the wages of workmen at present, and as the strike of colliers and miners is general throughout Lanarkshire, it was resolved that all furnaces in the country belonging to the firms represent ed at the meeting be blown out forthwith.

Three or four thousand workmen in the Tyne ship-yards have struck for an ad vance of ten per cent, in wages.

Terrible Double TrafftMly. NEW YORK, August 11.—At 10 o'clock tins morning, in a tenement, No. 141 Thompson street. Amande Bigot, a French tinner, cut the throat of Mrs. Marietta Renaut, a married woman, who had rejected his advances. The woman died instantly Bigot then cut his own throat.

The woman was housekeeper in the tenement forty three years of age and the mother of seven children. The murderer lost his wife two years ago, and her death is supposed to have unsettled his mind. He attempted suicide six months ago. Mrs. Renaut had been very kind to him since his wife's death. This morning he entered her apartment and excitedly asked her to marry him. She refused, where upon he drew "a razor and committed the deed. The wound nearly severed the head from the body. The woman ran in to the hall and fell dead. Bigot then cut his throat, rushed into the street and was arrested. There was no evidence of a struggle in the room., but the ddor was horribly bespattered with blood.

A Shocking rancor Brutality In llavte** County. WASHINGTON, IND., August 11.—A hor rible case of brutality developed in this county to-day.

Quantities of hair have been tqrn from her head. A. boy of eight years shows 110 signs of beating. A girl of eighteen or twenty months old was found in the hoilse nearly starved. Her legs are puny and unable to support her. The children, when found, were extremely filthy, and had on but one garment each, and that in rags. They have been sent to the county farm. Two winters ago the man made bis wife, whose youngest child was but a week old, go to the stable in a cold night to feed the- horses. She was afraid to return to the house, and was chilled and frozen so as to cause her death in a few days. Since, the babe has had no attention, except what it received from the father and the little girl. Constables are out searching for Horning.
