The rivalry among the street buyers ran high
yesterday, and the price of cotton was shoved up

aay “Lay on McDuff,’’ etc.

Spring Poetry Leftover.
There was a man in our town,
Who thought him wondrous wise ;
He said the way to sell his goods
Was not to advertise.
But his goods are advertised,
And thereby hangs a tale.
The ad. is set in nonpareil
And headed Sheriff Sale.
J. G. Burrus, Sheriff.

total was 664, of which 168 were negroes. In
Nance’s district the total was 345, of which 132

the men may display the ladies do not intend to

were reported. The committees for Wynnton,
Lynnwood and Rose Hill are requested to bring
in their reports this afternoon. The books began
to be circulated again on yesterday, and persons

Last night at 9 o’clock Chief of Polioe Palmer
entered the Enquirer-Sun editorial room and
said : “A woman has committed suicide in the
Odd Fellows’ building.” The chief left Imme
diately, and was soon followed by a mem
ber of the staff. On reaching the
building the reporter ascended to the socond
floor, where he saw a bright light burning and
tho forms of disheveled women flitting to and fro
past the window. On arriving on the second
floor several plainly-ftimlshed rooms with doors
opening on the passageway appeared, and in one
of them the light and the flitting forms were
found. The reporter was invited in by a middle-
aged lady in a calico wrapper, whose unkempt
hair and jerky movements indicated that she was
laboring under considerable excitement.
On a neat but cheap bed a young woman of
twenty-five tossed and writhed in a half con
scious delirium, muttering alternately: “Oh,
God!” and “Oh, Johnnie!” At tho bed stood
Dr. Cameron with a hypodermic syringe in bis
hand, and on the other side stood Chief of Police
Palmer and two middle-aged women, one of
whom continually pinched and tickled the half
doad woman, while the other whipped her in the
face with ft wet towel to keep her awake. When
the Enquirer-Sun man approached the bedside
Chief of Police Palmer said to tho writhing
woman : “Mrs. Henley, here’s a reporter. What
are you going to say to him ?” She
replied: “Oh, Johnnie !” The chief said again :
“What have you to say to the reporter?” The
woman answered with a gasp, “Tell him to treat
me right.” Dr. Cameron said the woman was not
out of danger, but that if she could he kept awake
a few hours longer she would live. The three
ladies in the room besides the would-be suicide
were Mrs. Nancy Tilly, Mrs. A. A. Evcridge and
Mrs. Christina Cawfield. After the excitement
hud somewhat subsided, and the suffering woman
became more quiet, the reporter took a chair in
the far corner of the room with the jadies named
around him, and they clieerftilly agreed to “tell
all they knew.”
Mrs. Tilly said: “ That woman there that tried
to kill herself is Mrs. Cassie Henley,
wife of John Henley, a car
penter. I went and got the chloroform that she
swallowed, for her; but I didn’t know I was doing
it. I can’t read writing. She gave me a paper
with something written on it this evening, to
gether with some money, and told me to go to
the drug store under the Rankin House and get
the prescription filled. I went and got it. At 8
o’clock she called Mrs. Everidge to the bedside
and said: ‘I am going to die.
I have taken poison. But don’t tell anybody.
I don’t want to live any longer.” Mrs. Everidge
and Mrs. Caufield run out then aud went to
police headquarters and reported what she had
done. They also got a man to telephone for Dr.
Cameron, and before they could get back Dr.
Cameron was here working on her. She was
nearly gone when he arrived. He says in thirty
minutes more she would have been too far gone
to get over it. We’ve all been working on her
ever since like you saw us doing when you came
in.”
Here Mrs. Tilly was interrupted by Mrs. Hen
ley, who wokejout of a stupor aud had a paroxism,
during which she screamed “Oh God! oh
Johnie!” and had to be held on
the bed by main force. Dr. Cameron had already
made a hypodermic injection of apo morphia,
and he now injected sulphate of atrofia, after
which the woman became quiet again.
Mrs. Tilly and Mrs. Everidge returned to the
window by which the reporter sat and the latter
began to interrogate them about the woman’s
rash act. They were both unusually communi
cative, and for awhile the reporter was put on
liis metal in taking down verbatim the conversa
tion of the two women, who talked at the same
time and with unusual rapidity. Mrs.
Tilly said: “It is family trouble. The
woman you sco on the bed there is only twenty-
five years old, but she has seen a heap of trouble,
and, I’m afraid, has made some of it. Her
maiden name was Cassie Vining, and her father
lives in TusLegce. Her mother died when she was
a child, and her aunt raised her. When very
young she married a man named Dickens, and
he soon died. Seven years ago, she married John
Ileuley. I don’t know where he is to-night, but
he is in Columbus. He hasn’t been about her
for three weeks. They get along very badly to
gether. To-day one week ago she went to his
father’s house and saw him sitting in
the room there. She got some rocks and
broke a window iu the house chunking
him. He reported her to the polioe, and she was
up before the mayor the next morning. She
thinks he luvs left her on account of another
woman. In the police court she swore that two
mackerel and a peck of meal was all lie had sent
her since he left I have known them for years,
and they have been having a pretty lively time of
it. Why, before I moved into this building I
came here one night to visit him and her, and
I’ll declare, I do, that they got to fighting right
before me, their company, and 1 hustled out into
another room. Pretty soon he got to choking
her, and at last she got away from him and run
into the room where I was and I shut her up in
there. What do you think of that?”
Here Dr. Cameron turned to the reporter and
said: “Her husband is a brute. He kicked her
in the side once and broke two of her ribs. You
just come here to the bed and run your hand
down there aud you can feel the broken place in
her ribs.” The Enquirer-Sun man blushed and
said he would take Dr. Cameron’s word for any
thing quicker than that of any man in Columbus,
aud that there was no doubt in his mind that
the ribs were broken.
M's. Tilly, whose every word was assented to
by Mrs. Everidge, besides occasional interpola
tions, continued: “Mrs. Henley has been mighty
blue here lately, and we all suspicioned she
would try to take her life, as she kept throwing
out hiuts about it. She took a little too much
morphine this morning. I think she tried to
kill herself then, but she didn’t have enough.
But she had a plenty of chloroform, and she
wanted to die at once.’ ’
When the reporter left Mrs. Henley was im
proving rapidly, and at 1 o’clock she was con
scious and strong enough to sit up in bed and
eat some crackers and tea. She expressed the
profoundest regret aud disappointment that her
life had been saved. She will doubtless repeat
the attempt if she is not watched.
Mrs. Henley wrote several letters after making
up her mind to take her life. The reporter man
aged to secure these letters. None of them were
dated but they weie evidently written yester
day afternoon, and were all addressed to her
husband. The following letter was no doubt
written last. The punctuation, spelling, etc., is
reproduced after the manuscript verbatim:
Johnie I will say good by till we meet again in
the eternity May you never know what it is to
suffer both mental and phisicaly as I have May
god forgive you I am to day in worse Disgrace
than I was when you married me but let me be
blamed bv the world I urn williug I had rather to
be blamed than you but when you marry again
• dont marry for love as you did me for it may turn
out os ours has I am not crazey I just feal as if I
never can face the world after this. You have
caused the people to persecute me when I to day
might of been bette. off and you to if we had
> never of seen one another l have Decived you
when you abused me about things I told you the
truth now can you say you will, goodby
I am now Done
I have strugled long in weakness you are now
With the above letter were two more, written
with a pencil. The writing is almost illegible,
and the paper is dotted with those dim, scorched
looking drop stains which arc never made by
anything but tears, and in this Instance tears
that must have been tinctured with blood. After
being corrected the first one of the two reads as
fellows, and wnlle writing it, the woman had
manifestly reconsidered her intention of taking
hor life, and w&s desirous of going away and be
ginning life anew somewhere else:
“Johnnie: You will please send me $10. I
want to leave here ana begin life’s struggles
alone. I will let your own conscience be vour
accuser. Send the money at once. You said in
one court that I was doomed and sentenced.
But there is another bar at which you and I will
meet, and at that bar all get Justice. At that bar
you can bring no enemies in to swear against me.
You know as well as your God knows that ifyou
had not treated me as you have I would not
have done the dirty oft. But it is all over now.
I know I have made myself enemies by
not making you suffer by the law. But I shall
never do it. I have lowered myself to live with
you and call you mine, but I take it all for my
portion, and I commend myself to the keeping of
my God. If I am forsaken of man, He will not
forsake me.”
Here Mrs. Henley appears to have gone back
to her first determination of suicide, for the let
ter concludes thus:
“Farewell. . You shall never see my fhee n^ain
with my consent. ‘God bless yon,’ is the dying
prayer of this heart.” Cassie.”
One letter among the rest was evidently writ
ten several days ago, before Mrs. Henley decided
to take her life. It is a most passionate and
wailing appeal, and reads as follows:
Well, Johnnie, you will neither come nor send
me anything to eat. Do you think I am a woman
that will let you forsake me in that style? No: if
vou want to quit me you will have to leave this
town. You can’t treat me this way under my
nose. I will live now for revenge. I have got on
my knees to you and have prayed day and
.night for you to have mercy upon
me. I told you if you would return
to me I would prove to you what a good
wife I could be. I have copied every note I’ve
written to you, to prove some day it is not my
fault I left you. Don’t you know in court they
will say you had a heart of stone to turn a deaf
ear to my petition. One more time I will ask
you. please, for the love of everything, come
home and live with me. Oh, my God! Johnnie,
don’t turn a deaf ear to me. Please come home.
I am sick-worse than sick.. T am dying
of a broken heart. Will you
bear my last prayer ? Come home and
talk to me. Please come home. Let me know
this moment. I am now clown on my knees to
my God praying for the man who has so cruelly
treated me. But I love him. I would die for
him and my poor aching heart will beat its last
stroke for him. So far as what you give me is
concerned, it is nothing without vou. No; do
you think I have lived with you for what you
gave me? I want nothing but for you to come
home. Please come and give me one more trial.
In a postcript to the above letter Mrs. Henley
grows facetious by a sudden transition, and says:
“If you knew how much fun people are making
of you for calling on tho police to quell your wife,
you would leave this town.”
In a short note which must have been written
yesterday evening, Mrs. Henley alludes patheti
cally to her dead baby, and tells her husband to
sell her “things” and to bury her with the
money. In concluding the note she says:
“Farewell. Don’t tell the world I was crazy.
I am not. But I cannot live and face the world
after my disgrace. Cassie.”
The “disgrace” alluded to must have been her
appearance before Mayor Grimes on the charge
of disorder.
Mrs. Henley has evidently been trying to live
respectably with her husband, even if his leav
ing her did cause her to make the rather novel
attempt of wooing him back to the home nest
with a volley of brickbats. Nor, to do Mr. Hen
ley justice, is it any wonder that he protracted
his absence after the brickbat episode. The seve
ral families who live in the building with the Hen-
leys are poor but respectable people, and they
seemed to regret the occurrence very much. Mrs.
Everidge is a very lady-like woman, and one of
more than ordinary intelligence. She said that
it was no more than she had expected, and that
now it had happened she thought it was no more
than right to give the reporter all the facts.
Op to a late hour last night, Mrs. Henley was
doing splendidly and her husband had not yet
been found.
A Sensation on Eleventh Street.
Yesterday, about noon, while Mr. Hock McKee
and his porter Henry were sitting in the office of
Mr. McKee’s buggy emporium, something came
tumbling down the chimney into the fire-place.
They both sprang up to examine it. It was too
much covered with soot fit first to be distinguish
able, but it was bloody, covered with soot and
fresh blood. Henry, the porter, decided that a
gray old rat that he had been laying for a long
time had fallen and broken his neck. He
wasn’t sure it was the rat, however, and
he got the poker and stood otf a long ways and
touched it gently. He said he didn’t want to
take any chances of its jumping on him and
biting him. Mr. McKee wasn’t afraid of it at all.
He stood about ten feet back of Henry and super
intended the investigation. Things were getting
interesting. They wouldn’t have left that sooted
and blood stained creature that had descended
from the skies into their midst to monkey with
au earthquake just then. The gore-stained creat
ure had two eyes, which were wide open, and
and a mouth and lips as hard
as horn. After a close scrutiny
the strange intruder turned out to be the head of
a chicken which had been but recently severed
from the body But how it came raining down
the chimney is the question. The only solution
of it is this: Mrs. Lary’s boarding house is next
door to Mr. Me op’s establishment, and a num
ber of chickens were killed for dinner yesterday
aud their heads were thrown on the vacant lot
across the street A cat or a buzzard evidently
got one of these heads aud accidentally dropped
it down the chimney. Chicken has always been
pleutifhl at Mrs. Lary’s, but this is the first time
it has rained chicken around there. Henry, the
porter, was sorely disappointed^ and he is still
laying for a chance to bushwhack and murder
tho old gray rat.

“Not a Qnestlou of Bruin*.**
Wichita, Kan., August 22,1886.
To the Agent of the Mutual Life—Dear Sir:
Success in this world is not a question of brains.
Last winter I made the acquaintance of a gen
tleman who used to be worth $250,000. During
these years he took out $11,000 15 year en
dowment in the Mutual Life. When it had run
11 years he broke up in business and lost all but
his policy, for which the company paid him
$8,000. This gave him a second start. He said:
“If I had not taken an endowment policy I
would now have to work by the day, as the
money paid for the insurance would have gone
into the business.” Respectfhlly,
D. C McKinnon.
Need we say anything relative to the advisa
bility of preparing a * financial umbrella for the
proverbial “rainy day” by taking a policy in the
Mutual Life. * D. F. Willcox,
