A DETERMINED SUICIDE-BetWeen eleven
and twelve o'clock yesterday morning Mr..
AdOlphe PineOn, well known as an excel
lent bOOk-keeper and accomplished CORE
spOndent, entered No. 7S Carondelet street,
and intimated to an acquaintance that he
was going to the rear. No particular no
tice was taken of him at the time, for his
manner was as calm as usual. He pro
ceeded to water-closet, and Immediately
afterward a clerk in front heard the sound
of a pistol shot, when some gentlemen pro-
Ceeded to make an investigation. They
found Mr.. PineOn on a gallery, second floor,
PROSTATE and bleeding from wound in his
breast. On questioning him, he replied
that he had shot himself. He was placed
on q bed. One of the gentlemen imme
diately left to find a surgeon, when Mr.
Pincon requested the remaining gentleman
to procure glass of water for him. When
returning with the drink the clerk heard
another report, as if of pistol shot. Hur-
rying on, he found Mr.. PincOn again lying
on the gallery, bleeding from fresh wound
in his head, double barreled pistol in one
hand. Death ensued almost instantly. As
he had been left alone on the bed, he must
have risen with the determination to take
his life. The pistol is a new one, and both
barrels were empty. A box Of metallic
cartridges was found on the floor, only two
shells missing from it. The bullet is large
size, and either wound would have proved
fatal.
Officer McAlpine sent message to
Coroner Creagh, when the body was re-
moved to the first precinct station house,
where an inquest was held, and the above
facts aseertained.
Deceased was native Of Hamburg,
about thirty-six years old, spoke French,
German and English, and until recently
was employed by che firm of levy &
Wolfe, No. 76 Carondelet street, where he
was held in good repute. He was formerly
in the employ of J. H. Jensen, No. 4 Maya
zine street.
The cause is unknown, and it is believed
that his worldly affairs were not in a bad
condition. He leaves a wife and four chill
dren, one of them an infant only few
weeks old.

great scarcity of water can not the sluices
at the heads of several streets be opened
River water running down street cutters
would, in many instances, prove a real
blessing, as nearly all cisterns are empty
The benefit would be twofold. The only
expense would be for that of man to open

revel on the Fair Grounds. The committee
of arrangements has provided rare good
programme, which will be found in another

hearty response. Mr.. F. Rawle, chairman
of the committee of arrangements, can be

CALLING ON MAYOR FLANDERs.-Yester
day delegation, sent by the Second Ward
Club, called on Mayor Flanders, having
been instructed to see him and ask his as
sistance to better the financial condition of
men who labor for the city, particularly
those who work in street gangs. His honor
was not inclined to give the committee any
great encouragement, although he is aware
that these men are paid only 81 rs per day
in scrip, which must be sold to brokers at a
ruinOus discount. This discount robs the
labOrers of more than twenty-five per cent,
leaving them only very insignificant sum
of money. They are beginning to grumble
in tones that bode no good. Mr.. William
Baker spoke for the delegation, making a
fair representation of the facts, and stating
what was desired to be accomplished
through the Mayor and Council. As the
committee was leaving, Mr.. Baker closed
the conference with about the following
words: "Well, then, we can only tell them
there is no hope for them until they get
better Mayor who will establish better
state of things"

Very likely the attack of influenza
that kept Frank at home during the

Judgment: it looked. however, very
much like one: and some would ever
deem the opportunity thus afforded
johnny of regaining his lost position. ;

Frank, now certain of securing the
prize, can almost see himself bearing it
triumphantly from the stage, amid the
uproarious applause of the spectators.
Five days more. He has already be
gun to practice his bow. AT length the

recited, th" books laid aside, and the
pupils erect III their seats. with arms
folded, are waiting the signal of dismis-
sion.
"A word, scholars. before you 90

way: then opening her record book she
looked straight AT Frank Sawyer. and
continued:
Prank will you loan me your pen

Pencil - thought Frank, as he took
that article from his pocket and started
for the desk, what does she want of
another! She has one in her hand
Something's up"
He was evidently right
Miss Brown took the pencil and eX-
amincd it. 1t was quite short and
sharpcned at both ends
:'Wait Il moment - said she az Frank
turned from the desk, Il have some
thing to show YOU"
Frank came back to the platform,
puzzled and frightened.
what can il mean ," wondered the
scholars.
''lou used the wrong end of the pen
ell. did you not - inquired the teacher
very quietly, as she held ont the record
book to Frank and pointed to three biUc
marks that We're standing straight and
stiff among the black ones against his
name.
The riddle was solved. He might
have denied his guilt. but his very face
would have denied the lie. He simply
hung his head. ashamed and sorry !;
ashamed only of having his sin known,
and sorry that he had used the blue end
of the pencil instead of the black
ON the following day Frank Sawyer's
seat was vacant, and johnny Bingham
bore off the prize.
