sUEoIDE-Yesterday morning a report
was current In the streets that John
1sen, who lived near the Intersection OF
Market and Quincy, had attempted to
take his life by shooting. A crowd soon
gathered about the house, when II was
ascertained that he had committed the
rash act by cutting his throat from ear
to ear with shoe knife. The unfortu-
nate man did attempt 10 terminate his
existence BY the method first stated,
but the cap exploded without discharH-
ing the gun. He then seized shoe
knife and accomplished his object.
Medical aid was at once summoned,
and on examining the wound II was
found that both jugnlar veins had been
partially severed. All attempts 10
staunch the blood were unsuccessful.
He fingered until about 12 O'Clock,
when death closed the dreadful scene.
Durlngthelast few days Mr.. Isen's
acquaintance had noticed a marked
change In his demeRnor and spirits:
His eyes exhibited plainly that his
mind was seriously misunderstanding
that Wild, staring look which usually
attends mental arrangement. This
gave his family and friends no little
uneasiness, but they were not prepared
for the sad denouemsnt OF yesterday
morning. Various reports were In cir.
culation as TO the causes which pro-
duced the alteration Of mind alluded
to, but as they are founded: on mere
conjecture we do not think 1t proper 10
give any Of them. Part Of each may
be correct, still as we do not know
where 10 draw the line OF distinction
between thetruth and falsehood Of any
one ot'them, we prefer to pass them
over In silence until the time when all
hidden things shall be revealed.
From the hour at which Mr.. Isen
made the fearful cash In his throat un.
I'll within few moments Of his death
he was conscious Of his condition, and
shortly before IL o'clock expressed the
Wish that an Attorney be called to
draw up his will. This was done, but
before the document was finished he
became unconscious and breathed his
last while the gentleman thus engaged
was sitting at the table with pen In
hand. .... ,.......
Immediately after death had closed
the unfortunate mans career, II was
thought best by the friends OF the fam.
lily that an inquest be held TO satisfy
the public mind. Judge Johnston was
notified and jury empanneled. The
following gentlemen composed the In.
quest: Messrs. W. J. Baldwin, Joseph
EIsemSn, James Brown, Chrlalian Ma.
biz, s. N. Prather, Victor Sauvageot,
Isaac Colts, John Donlon, Charles
Hanke. James MoAdAms, Lewis Fred
erlck aud Albert Neuhsrger. Sew eral
witnesses were examined who testified
to the facts given above, In the main.
The jury rendered u verdict "that the
deceased came TO his death by his own
hand, the act being committed during
alteration OF mind" 80 '-''.
Mr., Isen leaves u wife and several
children. He had accumulated pro-
perry here to the value OF several
thousand dollars. He had resided In
this city n number Of years, and was
highly esteemed by those who were In.
timately acquainted With him. His
sudden and terrible death was fearful
shock 10 large circle Of friends and
the general public. a,..
