Owen Sullivan, who lived near
the bridge in Pulaski committed
suicide last Monday by taking ar
senic. He had been in pecuniary
trouble, was almost blind and adj
dicted to drink, and his wife said he
had intimated several times lately
that he would kill himself. He
bought an onnce of arsenic Monday
morning at Pope q Cos drug store
and took it about noon, lingering in
great agony until GAO P. NJ, when
he died. Drs. Sumpter and Grant
were summoned, but not until some
six hours after he had taken the
poison, when it was too late to do
him any good. He did not wish a
doctor and refused to see a priest,
but just before his death he ex-
pressed a regret at having commit
ted the deed. Esq. Alexander held
an inquest, with jury OF j. Is. Sta
cy, ST., w. A. Gilbert, N. S. Town
send, T. NJ. N. Jones, w. A. Ma
lone, J. G. Young and H. NJ. Stan
ley. The poison was enough to
kill fifty men.
The American of the 10Th con-
tanned several erroneous and one
very unjust statement. First he
was only about 40 years old, sec
ond he had family, third, other
relatives, and fourth be harbored
no prostitutes. They lived in his
neighborhood, but his wife being
herself a vlrtuous woman, would
not have countenanced any such
thing, even if he had been disposed.

Mr.. Randolph Neill was in town
two or three days this week.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-04-20

spoke Of the satisfaction that men should feel In
the consciousness OF duty done, without regard
to consequences. Even death itself was not to
be dreaded when man died for his brother man
in obedience to the will Of God.
He then went on, In an earnest and eloquent
strain, to urge his hearers not TO indulge in vain
repinings for the past, but msnfuly TO strive to
fulfill ths duties which Divine Providence has set
before us for the present and the future. This
portion Of his remarks, if rightly and fully re-
ported, would be suffcierft answer to any inn
putation that could be made by the worst Of our
enemies, Of the lurking OF any rebellious or vim
dictive spirit in the miods OF the leaders Of South
ern thought.
At the conclusion of the ex Presidents re-
marks, which were received with cordial enthu-
siasm, he was introduced to and shook hands
with the membsr of the Lee Association, the
ladies present, aud other visitors. When the line
was formed again for departure. Major Henry st.
Paul, member of the Association, formerly an
honored citizen OF New Orleans, attempted to say
a few words Of farewell to the iustrious gentle
man, but was 30 overcome by his feelings that he
was obliged to ask leave to read from his manu-
script what he had outlined for the OCCASION We
regret that we have had no opportunity to obtain
g copy Of this touching address Of the gallant
Major. Mr. Davis, ia reply, said that the bravest
we're ever the geptlest, ana he was not surprised
that Major st. Paul was obliged to yield to his
emotions. He concluded by graceful compli-
mont to gallant charge made by ST. Pauls bat
alton at "Seven Pines"
Before leaviog the grounds the members OF
the Lee Association called to pay their respects
to the et-Presdeut's accomplished hostess, Mrs.
Dorsey, and through their President, Major
Walthall, m ado Acknowledgements for kind invi-
tation to remain and partake of the Inequalities
of her house, which lack of time compelled them
TO decline.
The whole affair passed off very pleasantly,
and although some Of the bronzed veterans of
the Lee Association ehed tears Of emotion, they
we're all thoroughly charmed and delighted by
the visit.
The excursion Is to leave New Orleans on Its
return at o'clock this afternoon.
