Closing out balance of our of summer shirts at Moritz. The announcement in the QBAi'H last evening of the Beginning of work by the Boston Water and Light Oo. at the site of their new pump house near Armstrong's quarry, caused quite a little comment in some official quarters, end much speculation to what Is to be the effect of the sudden activity of the water company. No doubt it will have a bearing and a strong one on the bids to be submitted September 15. Some people'think It is all a "bluff," but Bupt.

Taylor asked a TELEGRAPH representative today: "Do yon think we would em ploy forty or fifty men just to make a bluff?" We had to acknowledge that it was rather an expensive amusement to Iceep that many men at work If the accomplishment of some end was not in view. There Is now at work under the bluffs a force of forty men engaged at excavating ground for a foundation for the pump house, laying a side track from the Bluff Lino, and the clang of industry IF. making a lively scene. The change in the name of the' company has also caused much comment. "The New England Waterworks Company Trill not bid" declared Mr.

Venner, but we suggest, perhaps the Boston Water Light Oo. will. No man can tell what a few days may bring forth In the water works matter, but there is one certainty, some of the capitaliats who were to bid for the city water franchise are beginning to wonder and ask, what neit? question puts its ears above water. It is this: it was said some time ago that some of the capitalists who are owners of the Alton Biilway and IlluminatingOo.were con in getting up the new water works company. The Vice President of the company put in a bid several months ago, but being the only bid it was rejected by the City Council.

Mr. Venner heard this, and It may account for the new corporation taking hold of the lighting matter here, Mr. Venner's new company is named the "Boston Water and LIGHT Company. 1 It evidently squints at the idea of being a competitor for the lighting of Alton when the present franchise ends, and practically serves notice upon tne Alton Railway and llluminat ing Oo. to keep hands off the water franchise, or it may have a lively competitor.

CUT HIS THROAT. Ferdinand Miller, an Aged Resident of Alton, (Juts His Tbroat While Shaving Himself. Ferdinand Miller, who lives at 1124 Stanton street, cut his throat at 7:30 o'clock this morning whilo shaving himself, presumnbly with suicidal Intent. The family was inclined to think that it was accidental, but to everyone else there is little doubt that the deed was dono with deliberate intent, and that the old man Intended to commit suicide. When found he was weltering in pools of his own life blood on the; bed, and life was almost extinct.

His aged wife discovered him and is prostrated with grief and the shock. Miller was almost seventy-five years of age and had for many years lived at his present place of abode. He had no special troubles and the ouly reason that can be assigned for his bloody deed is despondency brought on by the ills of old age. Dr. G.Taphorn was notified of the suicide, but life was then extinct, and he at once notified Coroner H.

J. Bailey. Miller had been an Invalid for som time and was under a doctor's care. About one mouth ago he fell and injured his hip so that he was unable to get up from bed, and it was while lying in bed that he suicided. He cut his throat first and then severed the artery in the wrist of bis left arm.

The cut in his throat was not deep enough to have produced death and he, doubtless, bled to death from the severed artery in his wrist. The suicide had baeu despondent of late because of his bodily infirmities, and liii rash not, was due to that cause Coroner Bailey impanelled a jury and held an inquest over the body, and a verdict of suicide was arrivedjjat. camp Chairs and Tents for Kent.

traok at Alton Summit was discovered to be on flre. The 0 A. authorities here were notified, but nothing could be done to save the structure, so it was allowed to burn. The 0:10 0. A.

train passed under the bridge while it was burning fiercely and at 6:60 it was thought Inadvisable to take the train that here then under the bridge, so It was sent around over tho cut-off. Shortly after 7 o'clock the woodwork was al consumed and nothing but the stone piers left standing, so that the other morning trains were not delayed. The origin of the flre is unknown but it is probably the work of tramps as no train had passed under the bridge since midnight. The 0.
