 fort at Suicide.
 BROOKLYN, March 19.-John Oysterman, a Journeyman laborer, in fit of jealousy today struck his wife Caroline with a hatchet, killing her instantly. He then attempted to take his own life by beating his head with the same in strument. He has been out of work for some time and at the time of the tragedy had just returned from vain search for employment. The only other person in the house at the time was his son, lad nine years of age, who says that his father called his mother vile names, threw her down and while she was prostrate struck her with the hatchet. The boy gave the alarm, and the police hearing his cries burst open the door. Lying pros trate in the hallway was the body of the un- fortunate woman in a pool of blood, her head completely battered in, and there was shocking gash across the face, over which the blood was flowing in torrents. The floor and wall in the hallway were bespat- tered with blood, and close by the side of the woman was an axe covered with blood and hair. Turning their attention from tho life- less victim the officers started to search for the murderer and found that he had locked himself in little room on the second floor. He refused to admit them, and they were obliged to break this door also. They con- fronted more of fond than human being in the person of the murderer. He was in the act of flashing his head against the wall when the officers seized, and after 8 severe struggle overpowered him. He had evidently attempted to knock his brains out for his head presented a frightful appearance. He was sent to the hospital
