No Cause ksswu for the Act a widow and
Orphan MournIaH.

Yesterday evening, about 7 O'Clock, a Ger.
man named Gustayus Matfcldt committed
sulcdc by shooting himself with a navy ro-
vOlyer, which resulted In instant death.
There y no cause assigned for the terrible
decd, and the facts ~ gathered are about a.
follows; The deceased, who kept a grocery
store at No. 20 Virginia avenue, left his place
Of business early In the morning and did not
return until about $50, being then under the
influence OF liquor. He spoke TO his wife,
who was In the store, and passed out Into the
Kitchen. In the rear OF the house. After re-
manning there for short time he went up 10
his bedroom, on the second floor, aud 10
very few moments his wife heard the report
Of pistol md fall. She hurricdly rushed
up stairs only 10 sec her husband lying bleed
lug, liielcss on the hoor, with q large navy
revolver at his side.
An alarm was Immediately given, and OH.
Ger Turnburke, Of the First precinct, was
soon Uu the spot but ~ life was entirely eI-
unct he could OF course do nothing except
keep away the crowd, which was rapidly
gathering. Later In tho evening Drs. Riley
AMI Brookheimer arrived, and after examin-
Ing the body gave Il ~ their opinion that he
hsd placed the muLElu Of the pistol In his
mouth and fired. The face Is not In the least
disngured, and presents q very natural APP
peaTance. Matfeldt was about thlrty-elghl
years Of age, and was formerly q sergeant In
the Twelfth United States Infantry, from
which he was honorably discharged about
i've years ago, since which time he has been
engaged In the grocery business, He leaves
. wife aud one child, about three Year,, old 10

been uOtided, aud will probably hold an iu-
quest this morning.
