A SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.
Jerry Doering, a German residing on
Bellevue street, near Columbia street,
committed suicide last night by drown.
ing himself at the foot Of Columbia
street.
The rash act was accomplished about
II 80 O'clock, and was attended with
rather sensational circumstances, At
the time mentioned he appeared at the
door OF his residence with pistol in his
hand In q very excited condition. He
then started for the river, with his wife
after him, begging him not to kill him
self. He paid no attention to her en-
treaties, however, and kept up bis pace.
A party of men then started after him,
but he leveled the pistol at their heads
and threatened to shoot them If they
didn't desist in their attempts TO caputre
him.
BY this time he had gained the river
BY running up Bellevue and down Co.
lumbia and jumping on barge, with his
vile all the time close behind him, beg
ging him piteously to-desist from sui
eide, but he plunged headlong into the
river. He rose to the surface three
times, but could not be rescued alive.
The strongest Inducements only pre-
vented the frantic wife, with babe in her
arms, from jumping in after him. Sub
sequently the body was recovered. Cor
oner Winston was notified and held an
inquest.
The jury returned verdict OF "suicide
by drowning" D0ering was q man
about thirty-fve years Of age. He had.
four weeks ago, arrived from .Pirtsburr.
and had intended soon TO ~ to. nsillns.-
