AN INSANE SUICIDE.

AN INSANE SUICIDE.
On Sunday German named Busche
was noticed looking into the windows of
the Luthern Church corner Broome and
Elizabeth Streets. Suddenly he drew from
his pockets a Colts revolver and single
barrclcd pistol and aiming both at his
breast fired and fell back dead. The body
was at once taken to the Mulberry Street
Station, when II was ldentllled, oy paper
found in the pocket, as that of Fritz Buschc,
a german mason aged about y, and known
to several residents of the neighborhoOd as
an insane man lately discharged from
Wards Island. Besides the two pistols
there was a long hunting knife in bowie
sheath in his pocket. The insane freak
that probably led to his suicide was a pas
sion for young woman whom he saw at
the Bruunlr Street Lutheran Church. He
followed her ev,ry where, and so dogged
her footsteps that on one occasion to rid his
sister of him the girls brother beat him
badly.
END OF TIE MARKET WAK.
Judge Pratt's decision sustaining the ac-
ton of the Board of Health is just and
timely. The Board declared the operations
of Fertilizer Manufacturing Company n
dangerous nuisance, and it decrced the de-
struction of the filthy boths at Fulton Mar
ket, and the attempts to stay the applica-
ton of sanitary remedies by the issue OF in
functions has resulted in formal and pre-
else definition of The powers vested in the
Board. These powers are declared to be
discretionary. The Health Board may not
only determine what is nuisance, but may
vocate and destroy it in n summary way.
| 1t is not within the province of the Court
| TO interfere with the acts of the Board, and
parties who consider themselves aggreived
must apply to the Law-making power for
relief 1t is a pleasant novelty to find Law
| paramount 10 New York.
RESULT OF A REPoRTERs INTERVIEW.
Few things in this world will kick up Il
| bigger row than when Jones in conversa-
! ton with newspaper 'interviewer"
speaks his mind fully as regards Brown.
! Brown, ordinarily comes back at Jones in
print and then the fun gets lively. But it
! often happens that the party of the second
part would have done well to have obtained
from rushing into print, case in print is
just now printing the moral to this kind OF
common sense reasoning. Mr.. Shepard
Homau's is Just now the talk Of the town,
but as every one and his wife may not know
who the aforesaid party is and why he
should be the talk of the town we rise to
explain. Iiomans was formerly actuary
of the Mutual Life Insurance of this city
and was discharged from that office in 1871
under circumstances which made him then
the theme for nine days gossip in the Life
Insurance world, inasmuch as lac was dis
missed for "unfaithfulness, incompetence
obstiuacy, impractibility and insubordlna'
tion"-a string of powerful adjectives hal
of which, in the war times would have
caused him to be shot. In this case ht
was lucky, he was only drummed out o
the service. 1t seems that recently Tho
President of the Mutual Life was put undel
the pump of that artless and gentle crea
iure known as newspaper reporter anl
said reporter interviewed the President al
to the facts connected with Homan's dis
missal from the service of the compan,
with the result given above. OF course Iii
interviewer could not keep so luscious al
item to himself and he blurted it ont in hi
paper. Heretofore out OF consideration 10
Homan's the matter was kept rather quiet
but as soon as the matter took air tn
trouble commenced. Homan's .card'
went the rounds of the metropolitan pres
and the reply of the Mutual followed ant
the testimony addueed by the latter ha
sent Homans higher than the graphic bal
loon will be apt to 60, and he will sta,
longer than Prof Wise will care to do, a.
of which proves that when Jones has beel
interviewed and has had his say abou
Brown, aud when il happens that his stor
corresponds with facts the best thin
Brown can do is to silently stand il.
