Death Preferred IA Disgrace.

NEW YORK, May ia Toronto special
says; The determined attempt at suicide
made in the city jail night before last by j.
X. A. Gauthrleu, an eX.Confederate officer,
has created quite stir, and many south
erners who are here have visited the
prison to make inquiries after The
unfortunate man. The shameful character
Of the charge made against him-tbat OF
stealing $1,000 worth OF iewelry during an
auction sale-preyed on his mind to such a
degree that he chose death rather than the
disgrace which awaited him. The self.n-
fiicted wound in bis throat was dressed by
a doctor, and hopes OF his recovery are en-
tertained.
