Kpldaaale of
New York. September 24.— An epi-
demic of suicide seems to have struck
New York yesterday. Besides the suc-
cessful attempts, the police handled a
number of cases wherer the persona
failed to accomplish B«lr purposes.
Magnus Bwsnsln, a cabinet maker,
drowned himself In the North river,
after tying his own bands with flab
Unas, to make sure of his Job. Georgs
Burch, an Insurance solicitor, shot
himself in Tompkins Square park. Hs
had beeu complaining rmently of a
carbuncle on Jils neck, ino.Meyer took
poison In a Third avenue hotel and
then turned on the gaa and was found
dead later. Jamas CampbelU fatally
shot himself In Central Park. Hs had
been Indulging In too much liquor.
Edwnrd Schwsrmwsld a one-time pros-
perous merchant of Detroit, and later
of Chicago, also ended hla life In Cen-
tral park. He had recently come to
this city with his wife from Porto
Rico, where he had planned for the
erection of a large moerdn office build-
ing. Failure to raise the capital re-
quired for the enterprise so affected
him that lie decided to,end his life.
Mery Crane swallowed poison for some
unknown cause, but did not tako
enough to kill herself. Elmer Bates of
Jersey City Jumped from the deck of
an East river ferryboat and refused
Resistance from a passing yacht. One
of the yachtsmen, however, Jumped In
the water and after a light with the
would-be suicide, managed to got him
aboard the smaller vessel.

Galveston. Tcxay, September 24.—
Y cktorusv was probntdy the quietest
day Galveston lias experienced since
tlio storm. People came and went
much as they would do on an ordinary
Snbbatli day. and In tbo uptown dls-
trlct there wore but few evidences of
the terrible dimeter which overtook
the town two weeks ago. One of these
evidences furnished, by the presence
on the streets durlifjl the early hours
of (he day of men who had been at
work oleuring away the wreckage and
dls|toHlug of bodies, and who were
either on their way to the ofllco of
General Scurry to receive their time
checks, or to one of the two banks
which had arranged to remain open
during the morning In order to caah
these checks. The men were a motley
looking lot; bpt then every one In Gal-
veston ban paid but little attention to
appearance* during the paat two
week*, and so the workers received
nothing hot applause aa they passed
down tha street The work of Issuing
tom chocks and money was carried on
quietly and rapidly and by noon a
large number of the man had beo»
provided for.
