4 SUICIDE BY DRoWNlNG.-Henry
scharstein, a German residing at No. 1856
orchard street, left home last night
about O'clock, telling his wife that he
was going to the lodge and would not
return till late hour.
Two hours afterwards his coat, hat
and letter addressed to his wife were
dound on the ferry boat by Officers Con.
nally and Marlzolf. In the letter it was
stated that the contents should posi-
lively be kept from the reporters.
Enough was learned of its contents
however by a STAR reporter to prove
that he committed suicide and the reA-
son for committing therash act.
He has been suffering for number of
years from rheumatism and neuralgia.
He lost 81, ,2OO in the Constans Brewery;
$433 tnat he was unable to collect for
work done for Capt. Jas. Williamson,
and $l 300 that he lent to his brother-in-
law, who went to Texas anu invested it
IN stock, which, he stated in letter a
few days ago, WAS stolen, and
that, consequently, he would be unable
to pay the uebt Tor perhaps II years.
Ali OF these losses preyed so on his
mind that he said ii he did not take his
life 1t would set him crazy anyway. He
was a man well liked by all who knew
him and was of strictly temperate hab-
its. He leaves vile and three chill
,dFen: the youngest, son, aged seYen+
feen, is lying sick at home IN bed, the
other son is aged twenty-five, and u
daughter aged nineteen.
i The latter two are at Preston, Onta-
