that six hundred Of the Cuban prisoners sent

A Man Kills Himself that his Chill dren

From the Chicago Tribune, May 26
A suicile under rather peculiar circum-
stances, and one OF the incentives to which
was obviously desire to bestow on relatives
large sum of money to be obtained on life IN
surance, was committed in this city either on
Monday night or yesterday. The particulars
are as follows Several weeks since middle
aged man named E. Stephenson, with Two lit
tie children, arrived in this city, evidently from
Canada, and took lodgings al boarding
house kept by lady named Mrs. Elzl Clark
located at No. 1877 Adams-street. He stated
made q trip on one of our lake steamers.
During his absence the childre1 were well pro-
vided with money by him and such comforts
as they could reasone bly, desire. On Saturday
nj sht he returned, and stated that he had
concluded to send his children back to Canada.
On Monday he took the little ones ard placed
them on board of Canada propeller. He re-
turned to the house about o'clock, and I'M
mediately sought his room.
When he did not make his appearance at
breakfast servant was sent to call him, but
she found the door closed, and nothing more
was done about the matter until noon, when q
carrier brought letter to him. The propri-
etress OF the place and the carrier both visited
his room, and finding it locked, with the key
on the inside, the door was forced open. On
entering the room q ghastly sight met their
gaze. O1 tQ6 D6Q, uUQT6s5SQ U ul6 uuueI-
clothing, lay the body Of Stephenson with his
throat cut from ear to ear with a razor. The
suicide had been very particular as to details
in committing the act, and placed his panta-
looms under his pillow, carefully adjusted his
other clothing on chair, and otherwise con-
formed with the strlctest rule OF safety and
pgopriety. Before he undertook the bloody
dead he had carefully tucked the bedclothes
about his person. The following letter, ad-
dressed 10 brother of the landady, was
found on the dressing stand BY the bedside.
