SHOCKING SUICIDE.
Terrible sclf-NIurder of n Leading Merchant of
prlr

Newark.
The Newark Advertiser OF last evening says
At noon to- day the city shocked by the intel
ligence of the suicide of one OF Oldest and
OF the firm Of Jacobus & Utter, leather dealers, Of
No. 100 Market street. For some thirty-ive years
Messrs. Jacobus Utter have been engaged In busi-
ness in this city, and in that time had been unusually
successful Mr.. Utter was gentleman OF the highest
standing In his business relations and otherwise, and
always won the kind consideration of all with whom
he came in contact.
About 10 O'Clock Mr.. Jacobus, his partner, went
up to the head OF the stairs in the fourth story OF the
establishment, and seeing Mr.. Utter reclining be-
hind a bulkhead about four feet high, against the
railing OF the stairs said :-"Come, Aleck 1t is IL
o'clock" and descended the stairs. Eliciting no
reply, and thinking that perhaps Mr.. Utter was
asleep upon the pile of leather behind the bulk
head he retraced his steps, and beheld sight which
riveted him to the spot-the body OF his partner
cold in death, with rope around his neck, which
was fastened by a knot in crack in the bukhead,
which had at some time been door, Screaming for
aid, he cut the fatal cord
The unfortunate man must have died an eXcru-
ciatingly painful death, by slow srangulation The
rope was about three feet in length He evidently
adjusted the rope around his neck, tied knot in the
end of rope which he forced down crack in the
bulkhead and then deliberately settled down upon
the pile of leather, When found his tongue was
protruding from his mouth, and his face was fright,
fully dscOlored. Mr, JacObus between whom and
deceased the most friendly relations have existed
since they entered into partnership could give no
for the rash act He was free from debt worth
and their business was going on successfully
The news OF this shocking event soon became
known throughout the central portion Of the city,
and hundreds iocked to the place Of business of de-
led to the suicide, and others to crafty morbid de-
sire to look upon the CHASTITY corpse.

CHINAMEN AND THE RAILROADS.



The St. Louis Republican of the 22d inst. says:-
The influx of Cinnamon engaged to work on
Southern railroads still continues, and is growing
in proportion. Yesterday five car loads came
by the North Missouri Railroad. These were
100 men In the party, and they were sent from
San Francisco by Koopmanschap x Co., who
had made contract for furnishing them with the
Selma and Gulf Railroad Company. They are to
be employed as laborers In the construction OF
this railroad, and have contracted to work three
years. Each laborer is to receive Sl6 in gold
monthly, free board lodging, water, and fuel The
contract stipulates that the working hours shall be
ten hours per day, six days in the week that there
shall be five cooks; that SUFFICIENT quantity OF rice
pork, fish, beef, and vegetables shall be furnished:
that when a man falls sick he shall receive no
wages, but provisions, and guarantees free
return to San Francisco after the term OF
service. There is one interpreter who has to
receive $40 a month, and there are four foremen
who will receive $40 month.
The men were small in stature but apparently
robust and intelligent There was one female, the
wife OF the interpreter, In the party. The whole
were under the charge of Mr.. F. Croen agent of
Koopmanschap Il Co. They left San Francisco on
the night OF the 18th instant and came overland by
the Central and Union Pacific Railroad the Burling
ton and Missouri River Railroad, and the North Mis-
souri, Railroad, and arrived yesterday morning.
They left at o'clock by the Iron Mountain Railroad,
for Selma, Alabama. Most of them have lived In
California from five to fourteen years. The route
by railroad is preferred more than that part which

accustomed TO boat sailing to take the oars, which
they did, sculling the boat for considerable dis

backwards into the water, which at that point was
some forty fathoms deep. Mrs. Trimble immedi-
