dents office, and that these Irregularities
were the cause Of his sudden departure
to Washington. However, the further

ANOTHER ATTEMPTED SuIctpE.-We
have this morning to record another at
tempt at suicide, something that has OF
late been OF frequent occurrence in this
city. In this case Mrs. Reinhart Brue-
bank, residing at No. s 18th street, at
tempted self destruction by swallowing a
half ounce OF arsenic. The particulars
Of the affair are substantially "a follows :
Shortly before 8 o'clock Saturday morn.
Ing Mrs. Bruebauk called the daughter
Of nCighbor named Horn, and requested
her 10 so to the drug store and procure u
half ounce Of arsenic. The little girl
did as requested, and returning 10
! Mrs. Bruebank's house was con-
frontell by domestic, who asked
what she had in the paper. The reply
was "arsenic," and the child pushed past
the domestic and TO Mrs. Bruebank's
room, and handed the lady the poison.
The domestic evidently surmised that
something was wrong, as she Immediately
informed Mrs. Born Of the circumstance,
and together they returned 10 the house
70 investigate the matter. Not finding
Mrs, Dtnsbank up stairs they went to
the cellar, where she was discovered in
the act ot taking the poison. Mrs. Horn
knocked the paper from her hand, but not
In time TO prevent her swallowing the
larger portion Of the contents.
DR.. Cherry was Immediately summon
ed, and administered antidotes which
produced violent vomiting. The woman
refused to take the medicine, and resisted
until II became necessary to actually
force It down her throat. Dr.. Cherry on
Saturday night expressed himself as hay.
Ing grave doubts Of her recovery, as in
his opiGion she had absorbed sufficient
quantity ofthe poison TO produce death.
Mrs. Bruebank Is perhaps forty or
fifty years Of age, and has family Of Eve
Or ak children. There is difference Of
opinion as to the cause Of the rash act,
IL is stated that her husband, who was
employed as Catcher" at the Belmont
Mill, deferted herabout eighteen months
ago to live with another woman. Six
months ago, however, they were reunited,
and have lived together since. Recently the
husband has been out OF work, and the
couple had not been getting along very
well. These troubles are thought by
