Attempted Suicide.
C 2 Crump, of Richmond, who was
arrested Saturday afternoon on a war?
rant charging the theft of a valuable
gold watch and chain, the property of
W. B. Harrison, and who was this
morning sent to the Hustings Court
for trial, attempted to commit suicide
this morning after being removed from
the Police Court room to the station
cell. Crump denied the larceny, and
declared that he did not know how the
watch and chain got in his pocket. By
some nieans he got hold of a piece or
covered wire, one end of which he
wound around his neck and the other
end he tied to the top of his iron cage.
He stood on the Iron bed In the cage
to do this, and having done it he step?
ped off. The wire whs long enough fur
his feet to rest on the floor, but it is
probable that he would have strangled
but for the fact that his condition was
discovered by a fellow prisoner, who
called for Chief Hagland and the sta?
tion keeper, anil Crump wus rescued
Crump, it is said, had carried the wire
around his waist;

On their return troin the oemeters ?
they were the Occupants of a hack I
driven by Alex Valentine, colored, the',
oldest driver and one /if the most care-i
ful in tlie i-iiy. Instead of returning
by llio usual route, down Main Street,
they decided to lake the rond leading
by the city pumphouse. On entering
the dov/h grade of this road the hames
slipped from the collar of one of the
horses, diluting disarrangement of the!
harness, and the carriage bumping!
against their heels, caused the horses I
to kick "lie! run away. The driver!
managed to keep the horses In the
road, and the occupants kept their'
seats though at the curves In the road j
the carriage swayed violently and was!
, in danger of upsetting. At the curve!
I hear tin- pumphouse bridge. Hm drlvei \
j fell from his seat and the horses kept
on until stopped by running Into a
1 luj r bod wire fence, on the edge of. a j
i ditch. Th<- occupants of the carriage!
were fortunately not hurt, with the'
I exception of Mr. Brunei, who had on? j
of ins fingers mashed by the slamming
j of the door They wore saved by the !
action Of the driver in keeping thr [
I team to the road. Valentine was se-1
verely cut und bruised by his fall, and
one of the horses was badly cut by
getting entangled In the wire fence.
Had the carriage been upset and drag?
ged, a different story might have to
be told.

hp would name any first-class citizen,

tration. To-day Mr. iUfiiln sent to

No sooner had the Progressives, or
anti-Martinltes, got wind of the Mar?
tin move than a formal protest against
the appointment of Major Wright,
signed by eight of the city commit
teemon, was wired to the White
House.
The fight this time by the Pro?

mltteeman Martin. The last time it i
was made on Carney. Martin's "right
bower" In Norfolk county politics.
Carney lost, but the fruits of the
victory appeared to he with Alvnh
H. Martin, because the president said
ho would be glad to appoint any first
class citizen recommended by Mr.
Marlin.-If a Martin partisan goes in
office It means tho Martin domination
of Second District politics will be
maintained, whloh will render doubt?
