GAMBLING AND SUICIDE. - Monday after
noon chambermaid al the st. Cloud hotel,
corner of Broadway and 42d street, found By
ron Seeley, aged -, employed as drummer
by ). Stein Co.. cloth merchants, Nos. 446
and AS Broadway dead i'm bed. He had sho,
himself through the head with small revol-
yer. The proprietor of the hotel notified CorO-
ner Ellinger, who found two letters in SeeIey's
room. one addressed to his father in Boston.
the other TO Stein & Co. Coroner Ellinger
posted the Boston letter and read the othe'
which related that the writer had lost $500 at
the gaming table. and had determined on tax
ing his life. Yesterday MeSsrs. Stein & Co
gave Seeley good character, and said that
his accounts with the firm were balanced TO a
dollar. They refused to show the letter ad-
dressed to them, which had been forwarded by
Coroner Ellinger. but said they supposed that
Seeley found the vice of gambling Irresistible
that the money he referred To was his own
and that despair of not being bic to leave OF
gambling, and fear OF the discovery of his
weakness by young lady to whom he was en-
gagged, drove him to suicide. He was ALWAYS
honest and Industrious and returned from a
successful business trip few DAYS before
Christmas day. The firm were so pleased with
ms services that they increased his salary and
lie went TO Boston, his home. to pass the hOli-
days. He returned on Saturday and reported
for duty, but his samples were not ready and
II was arranged that he should start between
The 10th and 18th inst. The next the firm heard
OF him was that he was dead.-[N Y World
