ATTEMPTS SUICIDENegro Stanton, Locked Up Mon¬day Evening, Cuts Ugly Gash

in Throat With Razor.

Wound Sewed Up and He HayLive

Em Stanton, the HullpaslureRiver negro, who was brought hereaud locked up on Mondav, made a

desperate attempt to take his lifeon Wednesday night, a razor beingused for the purpose.Henry Baker, who is one of the

seven prisoners, but a''trusty,1' hadbeen using the razor on the previ¬ous day, and left it in th" cell.Stanton says that he cut his throatabout 10 o'clock, but, being lockedin the cage by himself, the crimewas not discovered until earlyThursday morning, and then onlybv the appearance of blood stain?,as he had covered his neck and facewith bed clothing. The wound,which bled profusely, is a de*»p one

immediately in front, partly sever¬

ing the wind-pipe, but, while theknife marks reach from car to ear,the vital region of the jugular was

not deeply cut.He was attended by all three of

the resident physicians, and, whilewe did not hear their opinion afterthe wound was dressed, the generalimpression seems to be that thechances for and against him are

about equal.Stanton's fellow-prisoners now

recall certain remarks made by him

yesterday which pointed to self-de¬struction, but at the time not un¬

derstood by them. It is said thathe sent bis purse home by some!one yesterday evening, and express¬ed a desire to see his boy.He is a large man, perhaps forty

years of age, and is said to hayeIndian blood in his veins, a claimwhich is strengthened somewhatby his prominent cheek-bones andcolor.The crime with which tbe negro

is charged and for which he was

locked up, is the seduction of hisstep-daughter, the circumstancesbeing aggravated, according to theevidence, by cruel treatment,threats etc.

four yfars.The Board adopted the ''single

ist will necessitate almost an en-

ire change in this and many coun¬

ts, perhaps only two of the oldKiok9 being retained. One feature;onne»:ted with the move is favora¬ble, and that is that the price ofhe hooka will be decidedly lower,ind the old b>oks should be savedis they can be used in the ex¬

change.The new list includes the follow-
