ANOTHER WOMAN SHoT-Charlss Soh,T,y..
CntdeJst Cosrtship.-ChaTles Schultz, aged -
years, shot Mary Harnish in the Jaw and hand
yesterday in a ct of jealousy, and then at
tempted suicide by shooting himself i'm the head
schultz, who Is a painter, but who has been
peddling cigars for some time, called at 81
Chrystie street; the residence Of MARY between
and 3 in the morning. He STAYED A short time
but no disturbance OF any kind was heard bv
the persons living In the house. He went back
AZ $3.50. and shortly after he had gone M stairs
Nina hellar, the chambermsid, heard three
shots IN their apartments, and thereupOn ran i'm
10 hnd them both lying on the floor, bleeding
copiously. The direct cause of the SHOOTING vas
the refusal of Mary 70 abandon her husband
and live with Schultz, who had repeatedly
asked her to do so. Miss Kellar, who occupied
the room with Mary, says that Schultz fre0uent-
ly called TO see Mary, and that they always
seemed 70 get along pleasantly, and never quar-
relied except on occasions where the wornap's
husband was the subject of dispute. The raj
entered Schultz right ear, passing downward
and lodged under his left Jaw. The woman's
tered one side Of the neck and skirting the wind
pipe passed out on the other side. The other
ball could be felt under the skin of the left hand
near the thumb.-N. 7. Sun, 29a.
SUICIDES OF CRIMINALS IN swIrzRR1ANp.
There exists in Switzerland, as is well known,
(says the Swiss Times,) q very convenient
method Of getting rid Of malefactors and trOu-
blesome persons in general-namely, BY sending
them over the frontier. There Is, however,
another custom, almost equally prevalent, by
which the unfortunate criminal often seeks 70
spare the authorities all further trouble with
reference 70 him-that is, by committing sui
eide. These suicides OF prisoners in their cells
are of frequent occurrence, and often manifest
culpable negligence on the part Of those whose
duty ii is to search culprits before locking them
up In prison. A few days ago an Italian priest,
who was required by his government, WAS being
conveyed over the Splugen, when, having 70 be
locked up there over night, he released his con-
ductors from further anxiety about him bv cut-
ting his throat with a razor which he had SCI
GREETED in his clothes. This morning we have
received an account OF a woman who was com
demned az Dlssentis 70 several months impris-
onment for stealing silver plate. She was locked
up for the night prior TO being taken to the can
tonal jail at Coire. Both she and her cell are
said to have been carefully searched before she
was left for the night, yet In the morning, when
the gen-d arme went TO summon her 70 accom-
pany him 70 the latter place, he found the cell
full OF smoke and the prisoner a corpse. She
had found some means Of ssphyxiaung herself.
A JOURNEY UNDK r CHLoRoPoRM-The LON
don Lancet, Of August Is, says: "a novel, yery
interesting, and useful application of chloro-
form has just been made by DIR. Squarey, of the
Soho hospital. A lady had been subjected TO
an examination under chloroform on Tuesday
last. The husband OF the patient wished to
move her as soon as possible to her home at Nor
WOOD, but In her then condition Of pain and ex-
nausuon q journey was out Of the question.
Inc adyisaoility OF her return being strongly
the journey under chloroform, and this was ac-
tually accomplished on Wednesday. The pa

street, Hanover square, having no knowledge
OF her impending journey. She was then car
RED down stairs and placed in an invalid car
rage, driven to her home at Norwood, and taken
out and carried up stairs to her own bed With

her way home. The journey occupied an hour
