DESPERATE DEED , A Han Gashes His Body Over f iU ! a Razor , And IB Kcicased From Jail .011 a linboas CorpitB to Die at Uomc. It will be remembered by many in Omaha and especially among the business men and contractors that a few years ago a man came to this city and entered upon the work of contracting , being Iden tified with the construction of buildings hero and finally skipping out leaving sundry architects , lumber men and store koopora to mourn hia loaa. Ho waa hoard from at ono time and another , now Horth , now south , shifting around and generally making himself known through some racket. The last hoard from him ho waa in St. Joe and it ia believed by many that the following la the same man who did Omaha up : On Wodneadoy night last qnitp a furore - roro waa created in the county jail , at St. Joe , by one of the inmates , who has boon acting aa a nnrae for W. F. Winacott , the invalid prisoner incarcerated on the dou ble charge of bigamy and forgery , yell ing out dt tha top of hia voice , "Oome quick ! Winacatt hsa got a razor and la catting himself all to pieces. " The deputy sheriff. ! and turnkeys , who slept in the jail building , lost no time in entering the jail , at the same tlmo Bond ing a metsonger for the county physi cian. Wlnacott was found lying on his cot , groaning terribly , with a number of slashes on his loft aide , and the blood flowing profasely from his wounds , The razor was removed from beyond the would-bo-auicide'a reach , but nothing waa done , nor could be done until the doctor arrived , when a critical examination waa made of the wounds , five in number , long nd ghastly looking but not deep. Winscott haa been an Invalid ever Unco h&has been in jil , and will probably not live to bo tried for his Crimea , cf which there is ample evidence of hia guilt. A constant watch has , been kept over him for months for fear that he would kill himself. On Saturday the prleonor wai taken from jtil on a writ of habess corpus , bo- fern Judge Grubb , when evidence was beard to the tifiot that the prisoner could cot Hvo ninny days at best , and that his honrs of existence would bo thortencd by his retention In jail. In view of this state of nlC.urs the judge ordered that the Invalid prisoner bo removed to the city hc pltal and the officers were in the act of carrying out their Instructions , when County Attorney UTAH heard of the matter and had two additional capiases Issued against Win scott on Indictments heretofore found charging him with forgery. Those c- pinaoa were issued nftor Winscott had boon taken out of the j-nl but before ho had boon placed in n carriage to bo con voyed to the hospital , so ho was carried Into the county recorder's otllco where ho remained until fi o'clock , when Judge Grubb was again called upon , and who took immediate action by fixing the bond of defendant at § 500 iu the bigamy case and $300 in each of the forgery cases , B. 0. Eddy was accepted as bondsmah and Wiuscott'a No. 1 took her poor ctuonciatod husband to her homo on Fourth street , to dlo. STRANGE SASTEOM , Uo IjcnvcH Uts AVIfo nnil tlio City lor Sonic Unknown Oimso. Angstrom Sastroin is the euphonious name of n former Wahoo merchant who was ruined by the hailstorms that an-ont ever Saundora county in the last three or four years. Upon his fmnncinl downfall Sastroin came to Omnha , where he haa sieno boon employed ns clerk In the Now York store. ] \Ir. Sastrom was married to a young Bohemian girl and tt is said their family relations were not as pleasant aa could bo dosirea. Some ton days or two weeks ago they had n little di Hi cully but the cloud was dlseipatod and the trouble for ] gotten. On Monday last Air. Sastrom asked his employer if he might absent himself from the store for a short time , and hia request being granted ho wont out. Ho did not return , however , that day nor did ho nppoar at the atoro yes terday morning. Upon looking over his mall yesterday , Mr. Lehman , his em ployer , found a card from him tolling him that a money order would cotno in a short time addroosod to him ( Sastrom ) and ask ing Mr. Lehman to draw it and pay a bill ho owed. Uis wife yesterday also re ceived a letter from him , whoso only words were , "Good bye. 1 am going to leave you. " Upon going to the Savings bank where ho did his business , it was learned that ho had drawn out his money , about $80 in all. Ilo has not been seen In the city by anyone aince his disappearance from the store , and hia whereabouts is only a mut ter of conjecture. Ilis wife , however , thinks ho has gouo to \undera county , where ho haa a brother living , and alio started for Wahoo yesterday , The cause of his departure js also a matter of sur mise , but it is thought by some that ho must have had other domestic troubles than thoeo above mentioned , which led him to lo&vo the city.

Iniulil BtRtoiiiont ot tlio 1'oivor of tlio 1'rcHldcnt tu Ilcinovo Judge Riclmrd II. Stantou , an accom plished lawyer mid politician , nays iu the Maysvlllo ( l\y. ) Dullotin : Fcr the benefit of certain federal olli- cars no r holding by appointmnnt of the president and confirmation of the senate , if they are silly nonugh to boliovu they cannot bo removed until the expiration of the term for which they were ap pointed , wo propose to dinalmso their minds ( if no ridiculous an opinion. The question of the power of the president to remove was considered almost at the be ginning of the uovornmeut , and was de cided In 1789 that ho had the power to remove without the consent of the sonuto. When Andrew Jolmson becnmo president the northern men then in power proponed to chock and control him by the eniclmont of a law tying hia handa in regard to the power of removal. Thla was the ton nro of ollico net , which was paeied in 1807 ever hia veto. This aot provided that every person holding on o flic ; u tor which hu had been confirmed byjtho nonato should hold it until Ills sue cosaor nhould bu appointed in like man' nor , unless ho should bo suspmidod dur ing the rece n of thu senate for miscon duct In oHico or crime , or bucixuso In- capacitated. If the senate ou mooting should not concur in the ouspenslon ho should reRUinuthe functions of hia ollico. .Johrmon'n ullegod violation of Iho law in the removal of Stnntion from tbu war ollico won ono of the principal charged on which ho was attempted to bo hnpenchod. Gon. Grant , when ho became president did not fancy the restraints that thia law placed upon his right of removal , and Boon after hiu inauguration the act wau so modified aa to provide that presidential appointees might bo suspended at the ploaeuro of the president during the recDsii of the senate , and if the oonato during the next session should roftuo to confirm the person appointed lu the place of any suspended ollicor , the presldon' mi ht nominate another. Under the act passed during President Johnson's term , if the tonato did not confirm the now nomination , the suspended ollicor resum ed the functions of hin oflico. Not HO however , under the modiQed net , for th new ronoininatioti does not In any wa ; benefit the suspended olllcer. 1 merely requires thu president to nomln ate another and may keep on doing so until a nomination ncooptiblo to th senate ia mado. Under a ciso of thii kind , decided In the court of claims undo this law , It was held that the presidon had tha moil undoubted right to suapon an ollicor during thu receas of the senate , "with or without cause. " The claimant said the court , may have boon the best pontmtjuer over known , without the absolute right of the president to suspend him boinq at all diminished , or hu may have boon the worst ever known without that right being an atom strengthened. Thia settles the question as to jMr. Cleveland1 ! ) right to suspend a federal oilcor ! of hia own will and appoint his successor , aud any federal olllcer BO appointment ia from the president is simply an idiot or a fool If ho supposes ho cm hold on to hia ollico agalust thu will of the president.
