STRANGE SUICIDE.

Yesterday morning, when the first
ferryboat left for Delta, a strange gen
tleman was among her passengers. He
was Il fine-looking young man, with
dark hair, mustache and goatee, dressed
in dark clothes, and wore Il tall pal
,netto hat, with IL cord of the same ma
terial, but white and black, around it.
After walking around Delta, going
into several saloons and stores, and
purchasing u cigar, he went on the
north side of Delta, above the point,
and, as we are informed by Il negro
man who was an eyewitness, taking
off his hat and turning his back to the
river, he deliberately walked out until
he got beyond his depth when he sank
and was seen no more. The negro
man secured tho hat and brought it to
Delta, and it is in the possession of Mr..
