THEATRICAL SUICIDE.
-....._

The Gazette of Mons gives the following partion- '
lars of an actor sad actress in that city having committed
suicide:—" M. Carman, of the theatre of Douai, came on
Monday last to see his sister-in•law, Madame Carman, the
first cantatrice of our theatre. He was to have left the i
next day, but delayed his departare—' I have only to play .]
is three days,' said he to a friend, • end I shall not leave
Mons until Thursday morning; I shall 'wive in time ,
for the performaaos.' On Wednesday, at about tea
o'clock, Madame Carman told her femme de chambre
to go down stairs and not to return until rang for ; she
also said that she would order her dinner when
she would require it. Up I. half-put six in the evening,
Madame Carman had called no one, and the servant, who
had been up several times to the room door, had not found
the key in the lock. The mistress of the hotel having be-
come alarmed at the long silence, at length went up to
the room occupied by the actress. After having called
several times without receiving a reply, she caused the
door to be forced open. The chamber presented its
customary appearance, and nothing would lead one
to suppose that anything extraordinary had taken
place, but the curtains of the bed were closed. On
opening them a frightful spectacle presented itself—Ma-
dame Carman and her brother-in-law were found lying
dead, bathed in their blood, each of them bolding a pistol
in the hand. They were locked in each other's arms, and
must have killed themselves at a given signal. From the
position of the bodies, it was clear that death must have
been instantaneous. Madame Carman was dressed is a
white muslin peignoir, and her brother•in-law was
in full dress. The two Wits were conveyed to
the hospital at about nine o'clock. It appears that
in the moraine M. Carman bad gone to the shop of
M. Clouse, a gunsmith, and purchased two pistols of 121 r.
each, some percussion caps, gunpowder, and slags. He
wanted them, he said, for a friend in Frenoe. He 'elected
the pistols himself with great care, and refused some that
were recommended, because the triggers worked too stiffly.
He talked very freely with M. C 1...., and when he had
made hie choice, asked him if a man mould kill himself with
such playthings. M. Close* said that a man could kill
another at twenty paces with one of them, provided be hit
him. M. Carman laughed aad went away. Madame
Carman was 22 years of age, sad her brother-in-law 25."
