"For God's sake, run for tho doctor; my
husband has cut his UiroaUwith a razor,"
was the startling language used by Mrs.
Sarah Nord, yesterday morning, to Mr.
William Earkiu, a lodger in her Iioums, at
No. 1211 G street northwest. The hus
band of Mrs. Nord ia Mr. Julius word, who
docs business in ladies' shoes at tho number

Tho attempt on his llfo was made by Mr.

razor and quietly proceeded to open the
veins of his anus, both of which be slashed
in the bnd of tho elbow.
Then he composed hniiclf to await the
results, probably or bleed Jig to death , which
is said to be a pleasant tenration. He bled
profusely enough, s ctcuch to that a rivulet
of the red blood flowed on the floor, whero
it formed a pcol. It was this horrible sight
that fctartled the wire and tent her cream

what fJie could to staunch tho wounds, and
very effectively, as uonc of the aitcricshad

Mr. Nord was taken to Uie hospital,
where his wounds were dressed, and aro

Her story or the affair is decidedly unique.

BILL J01GE WILL NOT GO
No Truth In trie Rumor That He
Is to Be Released.
Manager Bohmelz Says the Story "Was In
vented Out of Whole Cloth Yesterday's
Gamo with Brooklyn Postponed.
Bcveral hundred crania braved tho storm
and gathered lu front of the gate at Na
tional Park, hoping that the game would
be played, and they would have a chance
to see Byrnes Brooklyn boys play ball.
They were doomed to disappointment,
however, as the weather was entirely too
bad, aud the grounds lu a wretched condi
tion for a game.
The Baltimore-Boston game at Baltimore,
and the New York-Philadelphia game at
New Y.ork, were also postponed for the
Bamo reason.
Manager Schmclz'waB seen last night and
when questioned about the rumor that had
been criculated that Bill Joyce was to be
exchanged with Philadelphia for Charlie
Reilly, ho emphatically denied it. He
statedthatthostoryhadbeonmadoupoutof
whole cloth as such an action had not been
even thought or.
Tula information will no doubt be hailed
wit h delight by the rooteraas Joyce is agrcat
f avonto and a good man.
He has not shown up well at the bat in
the few games that have been played, for
theslniple reason that hi has gone up against
two ieft-handd pltchcra, and if there is
anything that Bill can't do it is to bat a
south-paw twiner.
On the wholo, it would bo a very bad
move Tor tho Washington club to let Bill
Joyce go unl-ss they get an extra good A
No. 1 man to fill his place. Not so much
his place on third Uvat as on the team for
there are positions he can cover much better
than third first base, for instance.

Buffalo, N. Y., April 27. L. J. Allen, of
Oncdia, f J. Y., committed suicide to-day at

C. Allen, the bucket shop king.
That there is some connection between
the suicide, L. J. Allen, and tho arrested
and subsequent assignment of his Buffalo
brotcer, thero can bo n odoubt.
The suicide was in no sense a partner in
his brother's brokerage operations, and it is
possible, that ha looked upon the publicity
which has been given the arrest and failure
of his brother , as involving tho honor of tho
family.

G. M. Fustic's Hesijrnation.
It was a matter of much regret wheu the
board of governors ot the Columbia Ath
leUc Club received the resignation of G. M.
Fague'as treasurer of tho club more than
teu days ago, and which was not taken up
for action unUl the meeting of Thursday
ovculng last.
Air. Fague regretted very much the ne
cessity for the step, which was made be
cause of the drain upon his time and Uie
luterfereuco with his personal business
interests.
In jusUce to the club and to llr. Fngue
it is proper to state that neither the fail
ure nor success of the late club benefit
nor any other club matttera had anything
to Go with lila resignation, as published
lu two local papers, for his resignation
bad been tendered, as stnted, nearly a
week before that event came off.
Final action on the resignation was de
ferred until the meeting of Uie board ot
governors, to bu held durlug this week.

"Edw shall I prove my identity?"
said the captive.
"By singing, of conrse."

"Donnervetter!"
In his eagerness Choiley had stepped
upon the gouty foot of the issuing leader

"Dn verdomdest aisel!" Evidently
his feelings were hurt. "
Choiley bowed humbly. "I beg youh

me, but aw you not a German?"
"Yah, icb bin," growled Uie limping
