Hartnett, while In the Maria, did not
reply to his aGeuser as to whether he
had Taken the tobacco or not; but, on
reaching the dock, the conversation
was continued and the negro Hamilton.
rising TO his feet, said: "If anybody
would steal my tobacco be would have

This remark seemed TO offend Hart

Mississippi.

j. @. JaTrion, who sought Consolation
Beaeath the Placid waters of the
Mississippi.
The man who took his fate In his
own hands and committed suicide, at
ten minutes past 10 O'Clock Friday
night, by jumping into the river from
the Canal street ferry boat, was MT. J.
o. Joffrion, late clerk of the Carrie A!
Thorn.
For years this man has buffeted the
pillows OF misfortune, and each sue
eeeding day seemed to bring with 1t
some new pang to crush him.
Domestic difficulties, which resulted
In q separation OF himself and wife,
caused him to take his first step on
THE ROAD TO RUIN.
From that hour he became wan
derer and an outcast, and 1t was PEE
culiarity of his to believe that the leGv-
ing of his wife caused his friends 70
shun him. This embittered him against
the world, and he appeared to care for
nothing or nobody, save his little
daughter, q bright little thing OF five
years, whom he dearly worshipped.
THE DIREFUL HAND OF FATE
still seemed unwilling to unloose itself
from him, and one day, while his little
child was playing near the guards Of
the Carrie Thorn, she lost her balance,
fell overheard and was drowned.
The blow almost killed him, for she
was the star Of his destiny; 1t was for
her alone that he had lived, and now
that she had left him, his future was
without a ray OF sunshine.
After her death he gradually started
on the down grade. He took to drink,
and he became very dissipated. His
friends advised him to the contrary, but
he said he drank not for the love Of
liquor but to drown his many cares.
From drink he started to gambling |;
and, becoming infatuated, he squan-
dered all Of his own money. This put
him in debt; and, wishing to pay up
what he owed, and with the hope Of
better luck next time, he bncked
against the tiger until he lost $500 OF
his employers money.
THE PENITENTIARY
was now yawning for him, and it was
only q question Of a little time when his
employer should discover his crime and
order his arrest.
The time came at last; the money
was discovered to be missing; Joffrion
was arrested and lodged in the Central
Police Station, charged by the captain
of the steamboat Thorn with breach Of
trust and enlightenment.
The captain taking pity on the &C.
cused. told him il he would tell the
truth in regard to the money, hs would
let him go. Joffrion acknowledged his
guilt, and he was released.
Disgraced, moneyless and friendless,
he took his fate in his own hand, and
at night. when all was still, he leaped
into the turbid waters OF the Mississippi.
