Monday morning last. The body was lying upon
u bed in the rear portion Of the house and being
very much decompo indicated that he b ad been
dead several days On the bed beside the dead
was an empty Derringer pistol. aud ON the
bureau q bottle IL iaudnum. which had not been
opened. A hole found in the right side Of
the head, near the temple, where the bullet hal
entered. The coroner was notified aud mn inquest
was held. Mr.. Henry Schaefcr, brother Of the de.
ceased, testified that his brother had been in bad
health for some time and that he though, he was
suffering from softening Of TIE brain. After ex-
aminigg several other witnesses. including the
officers who had found the body in the house, the
jury rendered a verdict that deceased had com.
m,ted suicide sometime during the week ended
May 3oth, by shooting himself.
For the last three or four weeks Mr.. Schacfer
had been the only occupant Of the house, his wife
being away from homo on q visit. During her alb.
senee he had taken his meals down town, but had
slept at home, going In late at light and coming out
early In the morning. The last time he was seen
alive was Tuesday, when he was at his Office.
His not appearing next day nor the day following
did not excite surprise. however, As II was sup
posed he had gone 10 see his wife. On Sunday

dwelling detected an offensive odor in the vicinity
which they attributed 10 . dead cat that, IL was
thought, had died In Mr.. schaefer's house. Thi,

cited q great deal Of comment aud speculation.
Mr.. ID. Bosiey Merryman, who resides Of No. 10
Oliver street, spoke 10 the policeman on the beat
with reference 10 the matter. but most Of the
gentlemen In the neighborhood seemed think that
IL was caused by dead cat, as stated and as the
front door was locked and key could not be
found TO &c the lock, II decided not TO open
the house until morning. Many Of the ladies liv.
ing near were afraid Mr.. Sehaefer had fallen sick
and had died. and therefore they were anxious "a
have the house examined at once. When the
house vas unlocked the body was found rs de.
seribed. II 10 said no letters let by deceased
assigning = cause for the act. II Is also said tina,
he had met with hnspcial reverses. lie had re-
