tS-DE64i OF RICHARD H1DDES. II Rich
ard MADDEN, tue man who was shot by
young MeLane. at the Sprigg House on
Tuesday morning, under With
which our readers are already familiar,
died about. O'Clock yesterday mt .the
residence Of J. ". McCouTiney, on Market
street. The death of Hadlyn and the
terrible suicide of MrLane were talked of
all over the city yesterday. We do not
know when such fearful trp gedyi has be-
fore occurred in this city. e $3.50
One circumstance, intimately connected
with this ease, it may not be Improper to
mention. Our readers will remember that
some months ago the city was startled

ly declined into melancholy state Of
mind, once or twice iutimatiug that he
was almost tempted 70 shoot himself. We
mention this because II evidently had not
a little to do in determining seif-destruc-
tion after shooting MADDEN. The two cir
cumsanceS together, and the dependent
reflections which necessarily followed flu
one of MeIane's nature, doubtless dsrapgsd
his mind. II is thought, from the BIta4-
ton of the Garth where the body was
found, andithe body itself, that the unfOr-
fortunate young man, before firing the
hall into his heart, must have laid down
fl.tupon his back. ;.er1 r. $3.50
We do not feel like making use of such
a lamentabie tragedy to read a moral lesson
to tue community, but all may indulge
a train ofreasctiOn, which, ifproper con
