A Fatal Hallucination

NEW YORK, Feb. .. Samuel Cantrell,
the wealthy retired merchant who shot
himself in this city yesterday, was the
victim of a dread of poverty. although he
was in at1luent circumstances At noon a
hall boy at the Putnam House where
Cantrell was stopping, heard an unusual
noise in one OF the rooms. He climbed
up to the transom and saw man lying
on the floor. The door was opened and
Mr.. Cantrell was found. He was still
alive, but had been wounded several
hours On the other side OF the room lay
n new revolver with all the chambers
loaded. save one. Mr. Cantrell was taken
to Bellevue Hospital, and there DR.. Pell
ascertained that the wound was fatal. the
bullet having penetrated the brain. Thir-
ty-tve years ago Samuel Cantrell engaged
in the shoe business. He was a shrewd
business man and one who made it a
point to master every detail Of his affairs.
The result was that he prospered, be-
came wealthy. and. being Of an enter
prsing turn of mind. engaged in various
undertakings in different departments OF
trade, in which he was for the most part
successful He operated in real estate,
and owns at present q quantity of yalu
able property on Sixth avenue. He wa
one OF the original shareholders of the
New York Sun. and has an interest in it
still Mr.. Cantrell has always been man
of good common sense and sound judg-
ment, but once or twice he has spoken
apprehensively of impossible financial
dangers which he fancied We're threaten
ing him, and at such times has acted
OF, frnJy- of ftI,
his usual habits In 1867 he displayed
signs OF worriment, and expressed fears
about his business which were entirely
untounded, but which no argument could
remove. OF late he has exhibited the
same symptoms His failure to realize
upon his property seemed to prey upon
his mind, and he spoke of evils that could
by no means occur to a man with bank
account like his. Throughout a long and
prosperous business career he was known
as a man of honesty, and of almost Puri-
tanical morals. lie was once q Director
IN the Importers and Traders Bank,
Treasurer of the Central Iron Works, and
was recently School Commissioner. ut
was all his own imagination, said one of
his sons, last evening He had not a
thing to trouble him in the world He
had enough money. and had not long ago
given up his shoe business to my brother
George, But he thought that he would
die in poverty"
Louis $. Lenheim, late president of the
First National Bank of Montrose, Pa, and
father of Nathan Lenheim, who was taken
into custody last week, on charge of at
tempting to negotiate forged note for
$4,000, was arrested yesterday and held
in default of SIC, 900 bail. Both the father
and son are now in the tombs awaiting
trial. Mr.. Lenheim, ST.. declares that he
is perfectly innocent of any completely in
the forged note. When Lenheim was taken
from his house by detective, his wife ap-
peared almost frantic with grief, and to-
day it was stated that she had become in
sane. Mr. Lenheim, who founded the
Great Bend Bank, remarked this morning
"A year ago was worth $3.50. 900; to-day
l am penniless. Nathan has ruined me >

iect, "Why Richmond became the CAPT

traying in glowing colors the downfall
of this modern Babylon, and arousing
in q great degree the old feelings OF
patriotism, that had become almost dor
mant for want of exercise. We fancied
that the eyes of the boys in blue bright
