Determined to Die.

The stroers in the Central Park were consider.
ably astonished on sunday afternoon by the pecu.
liar movements OF a susDcious-ooRing individual
who Kept wandering about IN most unusual
and cratic manner. Those who watched this
strange man supposed at first that he was
insane, and kept at respectful distance,
while they followed him. Seeing thai lie was being
pursued the gentleman used all the strategy in his
power 10 get away from the anxious and wondering
gaze OF the pubic. At last lie made
SUCCESSFUL DASH
towards that part OF the Park known as the Rambe,
and almost III an instant the report OF a pistol
rang out upon the air and was echoed
by the surrounding hills. The people rushed
TO the spot 10 assist the suicide, and 1t was found
mat he had shot himself in the forehead with o
pocket pistol. Some gentlemen who were present
TOOK up he victim OF his own mad rashness and
conveyed him TO st. Lukes Hospital. IL was dis
covered that his name was william Chamberlain.
lie was hlty.fvo years OF age, and had been at one
time clerk in the Health Department OF this city.
What the cause was that urged the gentleman TO
attempt his own life has not yet been discovered.

MURDEROUs ONSLAUGHT.
Tragedy i'm the Fourth Ward-A Mans Head
Broken with Pitcher.

Tragedy i'm the Fourth War6-A Mans Head
Broken with Pitcher.
Another terrible example Of the demon Of
drunkenness comes from the famous Fourth ward.
In boarding house in that locality, at 81 Oliver
street, two young men, who had previously been
friends, got into some trihlng difficulty while under
the influence Of whlskey and set to work sys.
tematically to pound each other out OF existence.
According TO the statement of one OF the parties
named Eugene Mccarthy, who now lies In Centre
Street Hospital in very critical condition. he and
his friend Harry Fields had always been on
THE BEST POSSIBLE TERMS,
ana rOOmed together at the house Il oliver street.
On Sunday Fields was the first to get home, and
Mccarthy found him sitting on the bed when he got
in. Mccarthy, who was tipsy, addressed his friend
in coarse, offensive manner which led to quar-
rel and Fields, becoming enraged, took up heavy
earthen ware pitcher and struck Mccarthy on the
head with IT, fracturing the skull and endangering
his life Seeing what he had done, the cowardly
assassin escaped from the house, leaving his victim
DYING ON THE FLOOR
of the room. Two young men in an adjoining room
were disturbed about two O'Clock In the morning
by the groans OF the wounded man. They came to
his assistance, bound up MS head with a towel and
took him TO the hospital, where he now lies Fields
was arrested yesterday afternoon and committed 10
the Tombs by judge Hogan TO await the result OF
the injuries ne inflicted upon his friend.

Tie maxim that the voice Of the people Is
the voice OF the divinity may in some cases,
be open to doubt, but she testimony Of hon
est and enlightened witnesses extending
through a series of years, and all TO the
same purport, is worthy of credence, admits
of no question. Upon such testimony the
reputation OF Hostctter''s Stomach Bitters
az an antidotc and cure for many ailments
Is based. During the twenty years that 1t
has been before the world, innUmerable
preparations intended to compete with IT,
have gone up like rockets, and comes down
the extimguished sticks. Meanwhile the
progress OF that incCmp arabic tonic has been
swift and steadv-always upward and on
ward like the eagles flight Its intrGduc-
ton produced a revolution in therapeutics,
and il proved to he one of those salutary
revolutions that cannot 20 backwards. To-
day HOstetter's Bitters is one Of the most
popular remedies III cristcndom, and COM
mands larger sale than any other mcdlci-
nal preparation, domestic or imTogted, on
this side of the Atlantic. As = cure for
dyspepsia, bilious disorders, nervous alice
tions, general debility, and as a preventive
Of Epidemic fevers, ii takes precedence of
every other remedy. This fact should teach
the ambitious country dealers who enieavor
to feist their local abortiOns on the public IN
its stead, how futile their small attempts to
caiole the community must necesearilT be.
