CURIOSITIEs OF SUICIDE.
A Young Girl Kills Herself Because She

Young Girl Kills Herself Because She
Wants fo See God and Her Dead Brother.
From the Davenport (Iot0a) Democrat Hdy1.
One of the most distressing, as well as mys-
terious, occurrences which we have been called
upon TO record for long time, took place in
our city last evening. young girl of sixteen
years, named Kate Kummerfelt, whose parents
reside in the western part of the city, deli9e-
rately "shufiled off this mortal coil" by jumping
into the Mississippi near the foot of Ripley
street. She had left her outer garments upon
the boat, and in her pocket was found the fol-
lowing letter to her pareuts:-
Farewell, dear father and mother! hope you
will not be frightened. am tired OF this bad world
want to go to Ged and my little sister and bro
ther. shall write this letter myself as good as
can but probably you cannot read 1t. Here is some
thing for my mother. There is cause for this act
you can depend upon that Vrtuous 1 have always
BEEN pure is my soul; but have always kept it to
myself SO that others might not make sport OF me.
Now let me hasten to my home-on the happy way
to heaven will end the way about as far as it, as
God is above me he will cheer me up Before me is
the water; above me is the moon. Give my best re-
spects to all my friends. And l6II now farewell:
Deliberate SeIf-Murder of a Cincinnati
Drug Clerk.
The Cincinnati Times of Saturday says:-
Between l and 2 o'clock this morning young
man named John A. Birkle, aged about eighteen
years, was found in his room at Mrs. Moores
boarding-house, No. 10 Third street, between
Scott and Madison, in the agonies of death, he
having swallowed alarge quantity of strychnine.
n physician was promptly OOIalneu, out Tue un-
fortunate youth was beyond the reach of medical
SKILL and died in about twenty minutes The
deceased was q clerk in a wholesale drug house
at the corner of Fifth and Walnut streets. On
Wednesday he spent most of the day in going
about the city inviting his friends and acquaut-
ances to attend his funeral, telling them that he
intended to commit suicide, but none of them
paid any attention to his statements thinking
he was joking or in liquor.
One man called him "- fool, whereupon
he commenced crying, and finally pulled vial
out of bis vest pocket and said that it contained
the poison that he was going to take. About 10
o'clock P. NJ. he went to his clearinghouse,
and, after playing game of euchre with an
acquaintance, retired to his room, where he em-
ployed himself for about two hours in writing
letters to his mother, father, brothers, and
sisters, who reside near Burlington, Boone
county. The letters were all pretty much alike,
simply telling them that he was about to COM
NIT suicide, bidding them adieu and asking
them to attend his funeral. In letter written
to his sweetheart, Miss Emma Minor, of Bur-
lington, he stated that he did not know why he
was committing suicide. None of the letters
written reveal the slightest hint as to why he
poisoned himself.

DIAMOND ROBBERY.
A Hotel Bell Boy Decamps with Diamond
Jewelry Sent to n Lady Guest.


JeweIry Sent to Lady Guest.
Mrs. Whitney, lady stopping at the Grand
Central Hotel, on Saturday purchased diamonds
to the amount of $4,000, intended as a bridal
present to her daughter. She left orders that
they should be sent to her hotel About six
o'clock a messenger from the jewelry store
where the purchase was made entered the hotel
with package addressed to Mrs
Whitney. Mr.. Mills, one of the clerks, re-
ceived the same and called Martin Fay, one
of the bell boys, to whom he gave instructions
to carry it to Mrs. Whitneys room. Mr. Mills
was unaware of the value of the packages aud
was somewhat surprised an hour afterwardf to
receive an inquiry from Mrs. Whitney as to
whether package of diamond jewelry had been
received for her. He called for the boy Martin
Fay, and to his astonishment the boy was
nowhere to be found. Competent detectives
were Immediately put on the track of the fugi-
tive bell boy, aud there is no doubt but he will
be speedily caught.-N. Y, Herald, to-day.

Monday, Mays 1871. !
The Philadelphia money market is substan-
TALLY in the condition noted during the past
week. The supply of funds offering is large
and accumulating from day to day, making 1t
easy to obtain loans on very favorable rates.
The latter are almost nominal, notwithstanding
the sharp demand from the brokers. Large
sums have been offered as low as per cent. on
choice collaterals, but the usual range is 5@6
per cent. Commercial paper of desirable grades
is scarce, and good makers can obtain almost
their own terms for favors.
Gold is quiet and steady, with all the sales
ranging from 1l1@lll1s closing at the latter.
Government bonds are dull but firm, with
slight advance in prices as compared with
Saturdays quotations.
Stocks were active and prices barely as strong
but steady Sales of City Is at 1885 for the
new bonds.
Reading Railroad sold at So Lie S. O., up to

For several days past, myriads of little black

city, they

to such an extent that the wheels of the railway
trains refused to pass over them, but whirled
around with such velocity that the trains stood
still. Upon reaching the 'yarmints" the loco
motive crushed them with popping, swapping
sound for a few hundred feet, and when the
wheels were we'll creased with fat, it would
sanded would the wheels perform their duty.
Shortly after passing, the caterPillars
AGAIN swARMED OVER THE RAILS,
and the next passing train had the same work
of sweeping to perform. They have also been
seen though less numerously, on the Memphis
and Charleston and Memphis and Little Rock
roads. Out at the race course last week 1t was
stated that when persoas sat down on the

seemed to rise from the very earth or some

A middle aged gentleman went past our office
last evening sobbing and moaning bitterly. He
wrung his hands, and tears were streaming
down his cheeks. Loud was his cry, and with
pity did we hear him moan, "Oh my Duluth,
my poor dear Duluth" We ran out and tried
TO comfort him, but with increased sighs aHd
pitiful groans did he exclaim, Darling Duluth,

We BrinkIey Ghost.

The Avalanche reporters have got up a
sensational ghost story for the credulous,
and Memphians are said to be greatly in
terested; still, our other Bluff City ex-
changes discredit the whole affair. Accord
ing to the Avalanches story, little daugh-
ter of lawyer named Robertson, who is
well and favOrably knewn in Hardeman,
while attending school at the Brinckley
College, was annoyed by the presence of a
ghost, and from the strange and unearthlv
Visitor was informed that if she would dig in
certain location on the college grounds, she
would find near an old stump hidden jar,
which was said to contain quantity of coin
and most valuable papers concerning the
true titles to property. Miss Clara Rob.
ertsOn told her story to parents and friends.
A search was made for the mysterious Jar,
and after long search and tremendous exs
element, a brick arch was found, and under
that glass jar, Of the size usually used by
cOnfectioners-in other words, a common
candy jar-which contains, according to the
Avalanche's report, small bags and large
JS4IO" GIh64Ope. OldFaJ True 10 the lnlunC-
ton of the ghost, "spaded' for the "long
sought herself and while doing so fell
senseless to the ground, and was removed
by her friends and promptly restored to
consciousness. She declared that the tray
eler from ''that bourne from whence no one
returns said to her in plain English that
the jar must not be opened until sixty suns
had risen and set, and so the st ry ends. 1t
is also claimed that Mr.. Joseph r Robert
son, the father, and Clara, the daughter,
have the jar in their possession, or know
where it is, and that at the end of the sixty
days it will be opened, and its contents
made known.
One thing to our mind is clear either the
Avalanche has published for the truth down
right falsehOod or strange and unaccount
able revelation has been made by a departed
sOnl to an innocent and harmless child. If
the subject is worthy of further attention,
we will place all the facts before our read
ers. Until then we will rest content, and
let ''the ghost that made a keno" slide.
