A mile north of the village of Phoenix lives Joseph Smith, an honest, industrious farmer. Not until about three years ago did Mr. Smith evince any particular interest in church matters. At that time a revival occurred in the Methodist Church in Phoenix. Mr. and Mrs. Smith attended regularly, and exptiK enced a change of heart. Three or four weeks ago Mrs. Smith became impressed

Meanwhile the man had come to the surface. and with powerful strokes swam toward the boat. At first it was thought that be was trying to save himself, and 1 when he came within reaeli a boat hook was lowered to him. lie would not touch it, but tried bard to get directly in tin* way of the boat, but by this time it was backing. Then a deck hand, by a skillful thrust, caught the man by the shoulder with the hook. The coat was evidently new, and held well fora time, as the man turned and twisted and struggled to get loose. Finally the cloth gave way and tho man, giving a powerful shove, swam away on his back toward the bridge. He was evidently an accomplished swimmer and perfectly at home in the water. When near the bridge be turned on ids face and dived down under the water, but a man speared him w ith another hook and brought him to the surface. He quickly shook himself loose and again went under, while the air bubbles arose from his lips. Again he was fished up, and this time he was drawn so near the bridge that a stout fellow reaching down seized him by tho colter. Then a ladder was put down. Tho man would not climb up. Another man reached down and also seized him, and the next moment the would-be suicide was dragged

dripping from the slip.

Strangely enough he did not appear exhausted. It was noticed that throughout he kept bis mouth tightly closed. This accounted for his freshness. He was taken to the Oak street police station, and on the way he rubbed his h* ad is if it pained him. At the station he gave his name as Charles H. Hays. “1 guess I’m about forty,” be said, in a dazed sort of mariner. ”1 guess I was born in this country. I live in Boston. I don’t know how 1 came in the water.” He afterward said that he was a sailor, just returned from a long cruise, and that he hail been on a protracted spree. He was taken to the Chambers Street Hospital

and treated for alcoholism.

has.”

Tho reporter then hunted up Dupee, who was found suffering with internal hemorrhage, which in tho judgement of his surgeon, Dr. Trunk, will result fatally. He denied using any weapon, and claims that Stone burst into the hallway with a razor in one hand and a revolver in the other. "lie swiped at me w ith the razor, and I knocked it hack against his neck, and that’? how he got cut. I had no razor. Then ho began shooting, and 1 ran out and attempted to got behind a pole, when ho hit me. I never had anything to do with his wife.” The reporter was forced to he content with this unsatisfactory and Incomplete a *- count of tho double tragedy. Robert Williams witnessed tho fight, and he reports that the two tuvn began struggling witliotit waste of words. Finally Stone called out: “You cut me, you s—n of a b—h!” Dupeo replied: “Yes, sah, and Tin cutting some more.” and with that ho sprang toward Stone, who immediately began shooting. The women toll much the same story as Williams, but both were reluctant to admit that Dupee and Stone’s wife had wrandcred outside tho commandments. Late to-night Stone was sinking rapidly, the cut on his neck, as reported by Dr. Cotningore, having severed tho occipital artery and probably several smaller ones, ns they had not been found and taken up when tho reporter withdrew.

In Berkshire County, Mass., a family i of sparrows took possession of a house which martins had used the year before. One day the martins came, and, finding their quarters occupied, began a battle for possession. The fight ended in a victory for the martins, who drove the sparrows away and turned their nests out on the ground. Next day the sparrows returned, strongly reinforced, and rennwed fhe battle. This time they were the victors and the martins were driven away. But on the following day

Accordingly at noon on the 4th inst. they each partook of a little milk, and for live days neither of them took nourishment of any description, but at the end of that time Mrs. Smith resumed eating. The sustenance of the infant at her breast was exhausted, and, as she says, obeying divine instructions, she broke her fast. The girl, however, continued festing until the 14th, when she was given a slight quanlily of food iu liquid form. She was so weak that she had frequent fainting spells. On Saturday evening, tho 10th, friends learning of the condition of tho girl, called a doctor, but she was past aid, and died the next morning. While fast-

William B. Barrington, of San Francisco, was possessed hy a desire to take life. He went before the Lunacy Commissioners and asked to be put in an asylum; but they decided that bis mental trouble, if he had any. was brought on by drink, and refused to incarcerate him. He declared that he had murder in his heart, and f.omo day would be unable to resist it. One evening he was drinking amicably at a bar with a friend. Without warning he drew a revolver and killed his companion. “I couldn’t help it,” lie said. “I had to take somebody's

life.”

The apparent cause of the downfall of John A. Woodward, who has absconded with |82,000 from the Boston city treasury, was an actress known as Imogene. Her maiden name was Amy Louise Knowlton.

The martin house is in two stones, and, as if by mutual agreement, the inartius took one story and the sparrows the other.

When she became so weak that she could not get on her knees, her mother informed her that prayer was just as effectual while sitting in a chair or lying in bed, and in this way it was continued until her physical strength wes exhausted. There are several other children in the family, but none of these participated in the fast. Mr Smith, although not fasting, interposed no objection to his daughter's abstinence. An investigation will be held, and if it is found that Mr. and Mrs. Smith are insane, a; it is supposed they are, they will be sent to an asylum.

The Prolessor left the State, but now he has returned and sued his tormentors’ parents for $5,000 damages. J. Harvey Reed, the senior member of a largo Boston insurance firm, suffered terrible pain during illness, and expressed a desire to be relieved by death Everything that could be used as a weapon was put out of his reach, and be was closely watched. The windows of tho thirdstory room were fastened down, as on additional precaution, but he ballied all all these measures by throwing himscli through' the glass and sash.
