A MxsrERloUs SUICIDE.
The Supposed Murder Case.

Early On Monday evening the inhabita0,s s in
the vicinity Of North and State streets were
horri1ed at the report Of the death Of one Of
the p1oprieto1s Of the Farmers Hotel, located
at the corner Of State and North streets. at
first the rumoT ran that the deceased had shot
himself with pistol in sudden fit Of de-
spondency at the receipt Of letter from 3
Tsman whose affections he had secured, and
whom he had subsequently deserted. Then
rumor had 1t that his partner had shot him on
account Of undue familiarity with his wife.
As soonas the matter reached the ears Of the
police, they at once took possession Of the:
premises and smpanelled q jury to investigate
the cause Of The homicide, AS q precautionary
measure all Of the occupants OF the
house were placed in custody. The Elcts Of
the case as developed at the inquest yesterday
are substantially as follows: The name Of the
deceased Is Christian John Schmidt, q native
ef Hanover, Germany, and one Of the firm Of
Henry Tobeck & Co., proprietors Of the Far
mers' Hote1, a small place, fequented mostly
By German farmers and the lower class Of Ger
man mechanics. Tobcck returned from Bre-
men, in this county, On the Rock Island train,
at about half past five on Monday afternoon,
and found his wife and Schmidt, the deceased,
in conversation with customer in reference
to some potatoes. Schmidt, according to his
directions, tooka bag Of potatoes on his back,
and carried them to the rear Of the building,
Soon afterwards another customer came in
and wanted ten bushels Of oats, which he said
hehad paid Schmidt for.s sSchoenwolf, neigh
bor who happened in at the time, with one or
two others, then started to look for Schmidt,
and finally discovered him in closet out Of
the kitchen, lying on barrel. They suppos-
ed he was hiding there, drew out the body, and
then ascertained that he was dead, though
still warm. A revolver was found lying on
the floor near the deceased. This weapon was
usually hanging On nail behind the bar, and
Mrs. Tobeck only noticed that it was not in
its accustomed place just before the dead man
WAS found. The deceased was about rs years
old, and has wife and two children in Hano-
yer. He and Tobcck came to this country to-
gether from the same part Of Germany.
The jury proceeded with the investigation
at an carly hour yesterday morning, and de-
yeloped the facts narrated in the testimony be-
low:

The strong vote by which the tax bill
passed the House is indicative that il,
will pass the Senate without material
amendment. We may discuss the merits
OF the system and the justice of some Of
its provisions at some future time. An
army of 10000 men arc to be sent
among the people to collect money to
pay the interest on the expenditure
caused by the success Of the Repl bican
party. The principal is probably to re-
main forever as monument OF, and a
warning against the triumphs OF Sec
tional parties.

ing synopsis Of the amendments made
