A. NJ, Yesterday John Lane, the keeper Of The
Storm coffee house, No. 81 Front street, between
Lafayette and Poydras streets, committed suicide by
shooting himself in the head with Colts revolver.
He had been for time previous to the first OF the
month deeply addicted to drink, but during the last
week had abstained entirely. This change of habit
brought on mental alteration, and from several par
ties who had recently eonyersed with Mr. Lane, we
learn that his and conduct had been far from
rational.
He had also recently bought bible aud prayer
book and passed considerable time in reading and
praying Sunday night last he out all night, but
Monday evening returned home about nine O'Clock,
and Yesterday rose took his breakfast and went to
market as usual. About nine o'clock, while his wife
and sistern-aw were engaged in washing in the back
yard, they saw him ont Of the room by the back
door, and go up to the second story by back stair
way Noticing subsequently that he did not return,
his wife went up to remind him that ten o'clock, the
hour for the lunch to be spread, was approaching,
when the horrible spectacle of her husband dead upon
the floor of the front bedroom met her eyes. The
pistol which be had always kept locked ZIP in bureau
drawer, was casped tight in his right hand, pointing
towards him with bis fnges on the trigger The bali
had entered his right cheek, and life was extinct.
