COrOner's luquest.
About eighteen months since Henry Fazel, of
German extraction, aged aoout twenty-five,
arrived IN this city and procured employment in
the grocery store OF Henry Busch, German,
within lew steps of the Wedge House, on
Market street. Fa2el gradually advanced 10 the
position OF book-keeper. 6usch had an interest
ing daughter, named Minnie, between whom
and Harry Gas Fdze was called) love sprang
from intimacy. But the. paternal parent con.
sidered the union obnoxious, while the mother
favored the lovers. elimination and recrimina-
ton was indulged in between Busch and Fazel,
the clerk being more than once discharged and
re-emploved. At last the grocery keeper became
firm IN his determlnaron TO dissolve connection,
socially and in a business sense, with his clerk,
and he called mis- daughter to him, and forbade
her having any further intimacy with Harry,
and set himself TO investigate his business. He
discovered the books full of errors, all OF which
were, however, finally explained, so that he
could only kick out the lover with an imputA-
tion of carelessness, but not dishonesty.
The lovers, forbidden to meet in the house of
the parents, still KEPT up Their intimacy by
stolen interviews while Henry obtained sltua-
ton as bartender in the STar Saloon, ext door
to Buschs, that he might watch over his beloved.
Thus matters continued up to last month-uhe

however, the youth was guilty of tdUr pas-at

he worked, and Busch told IL everywhere,
with such additions as his dislike to the
youth would induce. Minnie disbeheved
the tale las what olrI would notO, but 1t
so worked upon her lovers feelings as 70
make him nearly crazy. He wa often heard
to declare that he would poison himself. Thurs,
day night he offered to wager 5000 that within
six days he and Minnie would both be IN eter-
nifty, where slander could not poison their
peace nor cruel parents frown upon their love.
Friday, however, he rode down Market street in
the cars, telling one OF mis- friends that he and
Minnie were going to Illinois TO be married.
Minnie at about the same tine eVaded her
parents, ana came down town, where she met
her lover. They were together all day, and
though 1t has not yet been ascertalned what
passed between them, nor where they went,
there is no doubt but that they arranged their
double suicide, which resulted so tragicay to the
girl and SO tarccally to the lover. They returned
nearly to Buschs house together, where they
separated, with the expectation OF meeting in
another world. Nothing unusual was observed
in the manner OF the girl till at midnight, when
| her mother was aroused by her grOans. she
admitted she had taken poison arsenic-and
| although physicians were called, in medical aid
| was OF no avail and she died about three O'Clock
yesterday morning. Her father says that she
| told him, Just before she died. that Henry had
bought the poison and gave it TO her. Per contra,
| Fazel says that she asked him on Thursday if he
| was in earnest in saying that he would commit
| suicide. and ON his replying that he was, she
| said that she would kill herself too.
In the meantime, FaZel had disappeared early
| IN the evening from his accustomed haunts; but
no parents nor relatives were near to look after
| his disappointed steps, and 1t was not till the
| Helghbors heard in the morning of the tragic
| fate of Minnie Busch that any one thought of
