His Pistol Did Ii.

This morning about o'clock man
named George Hewling, aged thirty years,
while walking East on Tibbatts street,
in Newport, Kentucky, between Columbia
and Putnam streeis, placed a revolver to the
right side of his head and fired, the ball
taking effect in the temple.
He fell to the pavement, and expired in
about twenty minutes. The deceased had
a wife and one child, the latter a pretty
little fellow, aged five years. The wife and
child were visiting at the residence of Mr..
John Britton, at 2S5 Isabella street.
Hewling came here from near Cynthiana,
where his wife's relatives reside about the
1st of August, and after remaining a few
days went out to place near Newtown,
Ohio, where he engaged work with a farmer
named Richards, and remained until yes
terday when he came down to this city
and remained over night at Mr. Brtton's.
1t was his intention to move his family
out to Newtown this morning, and he left
shortly before o'clock to engage a wagon
but when he had reached the place above
named he'put an end to his earthly career
There can be no reason given for his COM
mitting the terrible act, as he was of indus
trious and strictly temperate habits, and
was of a jovial disposition. His remains
will be sent to Cynthiana this evening for
interment
