A Consumptive's Suicide.

Coroner Lowry was, last evening, called
upon to hold an inquest on the body of 9
German, named Frederick Schuchman, in
South Pittsburg, who had died from the effect
# injuries inflicted by his own hands.
The circumstances attending the perpetra
ton OF the deed, arc apparently IS follows:
Shucbman occupied house on Coal Hill
and was in INDECENT circumstances He wai
butcher by profession, and formerly DOS
sesssd considerable wealth, which he sauan
dered for drink, the immediate use of which
soon undermined his constitution, shattered
his physical frame, and left it open to con
sumption, which, by gradual progress, was
making him its victim
For some two or three months ;past he was
confined 10 his bed, and on Saturday told hiE
wife that his pain was 80 great that he could
stand 1t but little longer. On Saturday night
she remained up and prayed in his behalf, BY
his bed side, until o'clock on Sunday morn.

couch to rest, and being asleep probably hall
An hour, whom she heard a noise, and on rising
found her husband lying on the floor his head
clothing covered with blood. Her first i'm.
pulse was, that not knowing what he did, he,
companion had got out of bed, and by exertior
ruptured blood-vessel. On making more
close examination, the real state of the cas-,
presented itself to her gaze. The truth, tn,
awful truth, flashed across her mind. He haG
committed self murder.
A large butcher-knife was lying BY his side
covered with blood, with which he had cut hi
throat almost from ear to ear, severing bott
the jugular veins. The alarm was soon spread
to the persons residing in the neighborhood
and DR.. McCook sent for who soon arrived
and bandaged up the injured mans wounds
He gradually began to revive, and was sool
enabled to speak, whom he stated that he re
collected arising FROM the bed, but knew no
what he was doing when committing the deed
In short time he again began to fail ant
