AID was brought ashore. He was rolled
and turned up ard half bucket full of water
was elected from his stomach. He was then
conveyed to his boardinghouse, corner of
Poplar and Front streets. Dooley is man
about sixty years of age, and has been in the
city but few days. No cause is assigned
for the rash attempt at suicide, except that
he had imbibed a little too much whisky,
and was thereby rendered non compos mentis.
