house Of Mrs. Seymour, in Schuykill 7th ST.,
a few doors below Vine st. by shooting himself
in the head with pistol of which wound he
died few minutes after 10 o'clock He COM
mltled the act in front bed room on the Sc
cond story, under circumstances that leave no
doubt that he designed to take his life rather
than submit to become an inmate Of the prison.
II appears that he has been in the city since
Saturday last, and as was his practice made
his house, the home of his mistress, his place
OF lodging. Yesterday morning he was arrest
ed there while at breakfast, by officer Saunders
of the Sherll2s office, at the suit of the Bank of
Penn Township, involving claim for thirty
one thousand dollars growing out of some trans
actions of his with that Bank, while he was
connected with the Bank at Towanda. He
remained in the custody of the officer during
he whole day and night up to the moment Of
the act which hurried him into eternity. Part
of yesterday he was a, the Office of VIM. l..
Hirst, Esq, Counsel for the Bank of Penn
Township, and last evening proceeded with
the officer 10 the Bank for the purpose Of effect
ing some arrangements in relation 10 The claim.
They remained there until after ten o'clock
and then proceeded to the Office Of Constantine
Gillion, Esq, his Attorney, where he remain
cd until after four o'clock this morning-the
officer then procured Cab with the intention
of conveying him TO the Debtors apartment of
