YET ANOTHER.
Suicide of Captain J. J. Comeaux

The number of suicides committed in oul
city within the past six months is truly sur
prising. Scarcely week has passed during
that time without there being occasion to
make record of some act Of self destruction.
The last case is that of Capt J. J. Comeaux,
steamboat agent, who yesterday, shortly
after 8 o'clock, while alone in room at his
residence, No. 80 Bienviile street, shot him
self in the mouth, causing death almost in
simultaneously; the ball ranging upward to the
right and entering the braiu. The pistol
used was one of the Avenger make, carrying
about 32-lOOth ball.
On entering the room, our reporter found
him lying on his back in the position in
which he fell, surrounded by pool of blood,
which he'd flowed from the wound. The pis-
tol with which the deed was committed was
lying on the raantel, where he had evidently
laid it before falling. At the time when ne
fired it seems that ne was standing before the
looking. glass which hung over the mantel,
and placing the muzzle of the pistol IN bis
mouth, discharged it.
When our reporter saw the body it was still
warn, but Of a horrible blue color.
Mr.. Comeaux was born in tho parish Of h.
eryille in 1926 At the time Of his death he
was fifty years of age He leaves wife and
four children to grieve his loss.
Mr. Cymeaux was not in the habit Of carry |
ing arms, and had evidently bought the
weapon with the full intention of killing |
himself, as he had told some one, while in
coflee-housc Sunday night, that he would
kill himself.
The cause Of the suicide, from information
that was obtained, was that for some time he
had been greatly troubled by some lawsuits
with negroes, and of which he had frequently
spoken to his wife.

The Lightning Oh a FrOlic.

At about las P. NJ, Tuesday, vivid
flash Of lightning streaked the heavens as il
the armament had been burst in twain. The
shock was felt almost in every police station
and the telegraph Offices. At the City Hall,
in the fire alarm Office, the flash ran along the
wire at the side Of the gas pipe and set fire to
the ceiling, which was extinguished before
much damage was done, with the exception
OF burning about two feet Of the gas pipe
away, thence striking and burning two
switch plates and destroying two wires.
Tho shock must have been one Of uncom-
mon occurrence, as the lightning averter,
which is powerful instrument, was badly
burned.
Thence, on its frolic, the flashing fame of
heaven struck the Harbor Telegraph, destroy
ing the instruments, thence to the Third,
doing considerable damage. The instrument
at the First was burned little, but no damage
was sustained except the fright Of tho opera
tor and several visitors.

Celebrated TOmbs in Gloucester Cathedral
from All tho Year Round

Eut a truce to bishops, for the whole legen
Diary hi story Of Gloucester Cathedral center
itself round the tomb of Edward H. the muir
dered king. Now we do not murder king
every day. Great architects and great anti
Iuares have pronounced the tomb of thi:
weak, ili-stGrrcd man to be one Of the finest
sepuchral monuments in Great Britain, bot
for elegance of form and ingenuity Of design.
Its special beauty is, that it il built for the
cathedral. and blends with it in every part
In q word Cor, at least, two or three), it is
q chJ To'urre Of English fourteenth century
work. and it is, perhaps one of finest relics
of medieval art 1t is built in three stories.
tie solemn figure Of the king resting on the
lower one, and the other two consisting OF
pierced pinacles. The face was probably
modelled after death, for the expression is one
of pain; the attitude is full of repose and
dignity. Centuries have passed, and yet time
has wrought little injury upon this kingly
monument This record Of Edward Ills
love for his unhappy father is still almost
perfect. All that has gone are the Jewels in
the circle around the forehead, the bottom of
the scepter, the cross on the globe which the
KING holds IN his left hand, and the rays OF
the crown There Edward lies still, as on that
September night when Maltrayer and Gournay
stole from the castle room, scared and pale
and the castle rang with the murdered man >
shrieks. Dallaway attributes this monument
to the sculptor Of that OF John Of Ethan, at
Westminster Abbey, which is of precisely the
same date The canopy resembles that over
the glorious Scaliger of Verona, and the
monuments of Charles ", of France. and
Jane de Bourbon, at st. Denis. Rysbach
used to stand silent by this tomb, which
Buckler says. is only equalled in design and
execution by the Percy monument at Beyer-
~. The white stays on the tomb are family
badges Of Edward, borne afterwsrd, and even
still more disgraced, by Richard II. They
gave rise to vulgar Gloucestersbre tradition
that the murdered king was conveyed to his
cathedral grave in chariot drawn by white
stays.
Another scarcely less interesting tomb il
that Of tho wretched Robert Curthose, Duke
OF Normandy This mos. unhappy prince,
put to death by his savage brother Knfua, was
originally buried in the center Of the choir
opposite the high altar, with stone over him
marked with cross and an eiigy u Iriah

"Emma Shenault, come into COURT
called out Sergeant Tignor, in the Police
Court yesterday morning. The door Of
the ante-IoOm swung open and a rather
aged looking coloTed woman of the Olden
type walked around in front of the Judge,
with her head bowed down, and made a
polite courtesy. The Judge eyed her rather
severely and said in a stern voice, "You
