A Dismissed Suitor's Suicide.
IBridgenon, Cor. Nov York sun.


Frank Lane, q young mechanic of this city,
shot himself i'll the head on Sunday evening,
after his dismissal by his sweetheart, Kittie
Martin. The latter is an attractive girl of
about twenty years of age, who works in a
paper-bag factory. She and Lane became
acquainted about year ago, and May last
they became engaged. Lane, who had been
dissipated, suddenly abandoned his wild
ways, and was thereafter exemplary in his
habits. He was devoted sutton, calling
upon the girl every evening, and seeking her
society at every opportunity. They we're to
have bsen married on the 9TH of the present
month, but tame had been ont of employ
ment lately. and the wedding day was there
fore post poned to December 10Th. On Sur
day afternoon he and Miss Martin went on
long walk together In the evening Lane
called on her again at the house of 7 sues
Dunning, where she boards. MIR. Dunninq
who was in the parlor with them until with
i'll ten minutes of the tragedy noticed that
they were teasing and bantering each other
great deal, but had no suspicion from their
manner that they were approaching quarrel.
After be retired the quarrel became more
spirited, and Lane slapped Miss Martin in
the face. She says that she does not believe
that he did it in bad temper, but at any rate
the slap angered her into telling him that
if he struck her again it would be after they
were married. Then she told him that she
wanted nothing more to do with him, and to
emphasize her words she took off her en-
gagement ring and threw it in his face. Her
words and manner reused Lane to a sudden
frenzy. He is nervous and quick tempered,
and formed aud executed his desperate pur-
pose before the girl realized what had hap
pened. When she tossed him to ring. he
stepped to the door and locked it. Then he
pulled out his pistol, and, dropping ON his
knees at the girls feet, pointed the weapon
to his head and fired. As he had often fooled
with the revolver before in Miss Martins
presence, she supposed ho was only trying
to brighten her, until she heard the report
and saw him fall backward on the floor. The
shock so terrified her that some minutes
elapsed before she could rise from the sofa
or utter a sound. Then her wild shrieks
quickly brought the family to her room and
policeman from the street. Lane was
alive, but unconscious. The ball had en-
tered the head just above the right temple,
and must gone through the brain nearly to
the opposite side of the skull, as the doctors
probed nearly FIVE inches without finding it.
Lane was still alive this afternoon, but his
death is momentarily expected. He hos not
rallied or spoken since he received the
wound. Miss Murtin was at Lanes bedside
this morning, nearly crazy with grief. She
was not in earnest when she threw back the
ring, and did not suppose that Frank took
his dismissal seriously, or really intended to
shoot himself. She even believes that he
dulled the trigger accidentally.
