ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A Man Shoots Himself in the Head While
Under the Influence Of Liquor.


About quarter past II o'clock last night,
man named Samuel Earle, printer by oc-
cupatiop, attempted to commit suicide in his
room, on the third floor, at Mrs. Prieur's
clearinghouse corner Of Carondelet and
Girod streets, by shooting himself in the
back 81 the head, with small Deringer
pistol Dr.. Shuppert was summoned, dressed
the wound, and pronounced it dangerous.
but not necessarily fatal.
Earle has been drinking very hard for the
last two weeks, and Was under the in
fluence Of liquor when hetried to take his
own lite. A young man, room. mate
of his, states that Earle woke him up
few moments before the shot was
fred and told him that he (his room-mate)
did not care for him any more. He walked
to the bureau, opened the drawer and took
out small. sized Dsringer pistol, and walked
up to the side Of the bed with it in his hand.
The young man asked him what was the
matter with him, and told him to go and put
the pistol back where.he had found it. He
walked back to the bureau, put out the lamp,
and it was after the light was out that the re-
port of the pistol was heard. The young
man jumped up out of bed, thu lamp and
found his companion lying on the floor,
bleeding profusely from wound in the head.
Earle is about thirty years Of age, and q
native of S.. Louis, Missouri.

One way that the Radical Senators beat the
Treasury is told by Washington CORES
pondenL This is done in connection with
the Engraving and Printing Bureau of the
Treasury. Many Senators have their visiting
cards, their invitati ms to dinners and parties
engraved and printed at public expense, just
as they get their nosegays, bouquets and
flower baskets from the public conservatory of
theAgricultural Department. Loads of Bris-
toll card boards, plain and enameled, are
brought from the government printing office
and also from the Office of the Secretary
of the Senate to the engraving bureau
and there turned out as elegant and
stylish visiting cards for Senators, on some of
which are engraved delicate monograms and
even aristocratic crests and coats of-arms.
This is small matter, and may not on the
whole aggregate over $40, in a year, but it
adds to the enormous expenditures of the
government and increases the corruption now
eating up the very core of our Republican sys-
tenn. Some eight years ago the late James
Brooks startled the country by his statement
that under the management of one Spencer NJ.
Clark the printing bureau of the Treasury De-
partment was very sink of corruption. A
sham investigation was made then, but mere
glance disclosed PMsburg Post.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
A Case for the Police.

On Saturday last Judge Posey, q gentleman
something over fifty years of age, disappeared
and nothing WAS heard of him-although ths
detectives have been Searching for him-untl
Thursday night at late hour, when he came
home deranged.
Judge Posey has for.some time past bean
in the employ Of Attorney General Field as nm
assistant in preparing documents and BRIEFS
He is not, generally speaking, drinking man.
but on Friday last he met some old friends and
while with them got considerably under the
influence of liquor.
On Saturday morning he appeared ct the
Office of the Attorney General somewhat intoxi-
Gated. He obtained from the Auditor warrants
for salary due him, amounting to. s40o, and
left, and, as above stated, was not heard from
until Thursday night
His condition was such that he could give
no account Of where he had been, and it il
supposed that he was picked up by thieves,
taken to their den, dragged and robbed, 40
his money was all gone.
He states that he has been twenty miles be-
low the city, has been to Baton Rouge and to
South America. He has no idea how he got
home. He did not get up town on the cars,
as all the drivers, 10 whom he ia we'll known,
state that they did mot bring him up. It is
believed that the thieves brought him to his
residence and left him.

AN UNTIMELY DEATH.
A Woman SmOthered to Death in
Her Bed.
The Result Of a Spree that Lasted
Over a Week.

Some three months ago Ellen Fitzgerald
and Mary Gardner started grocery store in
partnership, at No. 3l3 Oarondelet, between
Thalia and Erato streets, on very small
capital, say about S25. and were doing very
prosperous business until St Patrick's Day,
the 17th inst, when they both started off
early in the morning to see the parade, and
before night got very drunk. They both slept
in the same room, next to the charcoal and
grocery store. They went to bad late tn at
night and did not get up for three days, an d
when they did get out they drank more ba
whisky, and again got drunk, and kept it up.
They closed up the shop when they came
in the last time, and brought home gallon
of the very worst kind of whisky. Several
colored women who lived back in the yard
saw them enter their room the last time on
Wednesday evening. A policeman walked
past yesterday afternoon about o'clock, when
one Of the women in the yard called him and
informed him that the two partners were on
big drunk, and had not opened the house for
several days. The officer Immediately forced
open the front door, and on entering the
sleeping apartment OF the two women, found
them in bed.
Mary Gardner was lying across the bed,
very drunk, on top Of Ellen Fitzgerald She
was taken out and placed on the floor. Ellen
was shaken but did not move, and on a closer
examination it was discovered that she was
dead. Mary was taken to the Second Pre-
cinct Station and locked up, charged with
being drunk and disturbing the peace. Our
reporter visited the house last evening, and
on entering the front room thought that he
had made mistake in the house, as it was
reported that the women kept grocery store,
but on looking around the room found he was
in the right place.
The stock in trade comprised one jar Of
starch, half dozen sticks OF candy one dozen
bars brown soap, four bags of charcoal, three
boxes of backing, four clay pipes. ETC., all
valued at about S., consequently it was some
time before il was discovered that it was
really grocery store. Ga entering the adj
joining room the body Of the unfortunate
woman was found lying in the bed. dead.
The chairs were capsized, tumblers broken,
the bed clothes scattered around the room
and everything Was in the utmost confusion
and presented sickening sight.
No marks Of violence were visible, aud the
superstition is that she was sutf )cated to
death by the woman who was lying on top of
her. She must have been very drunk, other
wise she could have extricated herself from
that position. Coroner Ohastant held an in
quest, and the jury rendered a verdict that
the deceased died Of congestion of the brain.
Ellen Fitzgerald is As years old, and native
of Ireland.
