The Attempted Suicide of DIR. q. HI.
Hess.

THE"DONEsTIC DIFFICULTY" THAT PROMPTED
THE ACT.
Atelegram from Chicago a dav or two since
brought Information of the ATTEMPTED suicide
IN that city, last Saturday afternoon of DR. o.
III. Hess, who is well known in washinctoD
having been business manager OF the National
Theatre here not many years since. The Chi
eago tribune OF Monday says that s.Dr. Hess has
recently been engaged in supervising the i'm
PrOyements now going on in the Standard Hall
auditorium, but his acquaintance have noticed
singular quietude IN his demeanor and an air
OF PerpleXity and sadness quite foreign to his
usual genial manners and disposition. On Sat
uIuay AFTERNOON he was seen at the Standard
HAN saloon, apparently quite sober, but by no
means as cheerful as usual. Later in the after
noon he went to Batchelders restaurant, where
he was IN the habit of taking his meals. He
stood at the oyster counter and asked for some
thing 10 eat. but before il was given him he
Drew fOur-barrelled pistol from his
POCKET, leaned over in such a manner As To
conceal II, and pointing il at his heart As
nearly as he could guess, pulled the trigger
The report of the pistol brough every one to his
feet, but Hess fell before he could be reached
II appeared that the ball had struck the breast
bone or rib, and glanced of without doing
serious injury, lodging under the skin, near the
the wounded man was removed to his resi,lence
and will probably be well enough to resume his
business before the Wyndham Troupe take pos.
session OF the Standard Theater. When Mr.
Hess entered Batchelder's restaurant and leaned
against the oyster counter he drew from
his pocket letter. Hastily tearing off the side
placed
n on the counter. He then took a lead pencil
from his pocket and wrote on the back of a cir
eulaT, which was lying on the counter these
words: "Babee- i can't stand desertion, and
when you receive this shall be dead PIE ase
kiss my broken head. Goodbye"
After writing this he drew from his pocket a
revolver and shot himself. When he was car
Tied to No. i25 State street, the note and letter
were taken also, but our reporter was able TO
get the substance Of the latter. IL was from his
wlfe, who has been living at Dixon, ILL.,, with
he fire. Shar rId a.
had not supported her; that her aunt was then
paying 50 30 week for her board. She wanted
ner watch and chain, and her trunk, and IN
formed him that he need make no apOlogy. "a II
was unnecessary. He had written to her in A
quarrelsome spirit, while her letters had ALWAYS
eTlnced the best disposition This is the do
mestie difficulty alluded to, and the cause of
MI Hess attempted suicide. He lost nearly an
he had in the fire, and, in consequence, became
somewhat embarrassed pecuniarily, and was not
able 70 support his wife in the style to which She
had been accustomed"
