ing of your city, on last evening
(Sabbath) in the M. E. Church of

DESPERATE SUICIDE.
Jumps IntO a CIstern 10 End His
Lie.
Cincinnati Times Star, goth.


Shortly before balf-past five O'Clock this
morning The neighbOrs in the vicinity OF
Elm and Liberty streets were awakened by
the screaming Of a woman. The cause was
on learned to be that man had Jumped
into a cistern IN the rear of S house st 553
E u street, two doors below Liberty street.
Officer John Machie, who was attracted to
the scene, procured a ladder and, tOgeth' I
with tie aid OF the neighbors, In all has e
puIled the man out, but life was already
extinct. TIE deceased was found to be
Henry Mosta, who lived on the second hoor
with his wife and four children. He was a
cabinet maker by trade, and worked on
Race, near Twelfth street. He was sixty
t1ree years Of age. He has been dersnged
sOr some time past.
The neighoors speak of the DECEASED as q
sober and industrious man, and sincerely
sympathizs with his widow and children Tor
the sad occurrence.
The case seems TO be plain suicide, for the
aperture of the cistern was surrounded by
wooden box and the hole was only large
enough to admit Of bucket passing tbroug b
easily. 50 that no person could fall through
accidentally. There was about seven feet
OF water ia the cisteTn at the time, and
dearh from drowning must have ensued in
stantly.
la pulling the body up It was necessary
to soueezs it through the aperture. The
deceased was all dressed up as If ready to
20 to work, and in . mOmenI Of his derange-
ment must have formed this desperate plan
OF putting an end to his life, as his slippers
we're found beside the cistern box. bis
eldest daughter was the first to discover the
sad occurrence, she having gone down TO
the ward some five minutes after her fatneT,
aud seeing the cistern open and knowing OF
her fathers Temporary intervals OF insanity,
Immediately concluded that he must have
drowned himself. Her suspicious only
proved too true, for on the surfsce OF the
water she saw the floating body of her
father.
The bodS of the deceased was still warm
after it had been pulled out, and means OF
resuscitation we're Immediately resorted to,
but it was found to be too late.

me to look after"

"Yes, sir; Mr.. Eikins, Senator Davis, of
West Virginia, and number Of other gen
tlemen, whose names have already been
mentioned. The property is first rate one,
and its development will occupy all my
spare time"
"You have been credited with designing

ture in joint session to-day formally an
nounced the election of Riddleberger as
United States Senator. The House to-day
ordered to engrossment and third read
ing the bill relieving a number of citi-
zens of disability incurred by violation OF
the anti-dueling law. A two-thirds vote
of each house is required to insure its pass
age, but there is no doubt of its
obtaining more than the requisite
number Of votes. About forty
names are mentioned in the bill, including
their disabilities during the late political
canvass for State officers: Fl. H. Riddleber-
ger, the newly elected United States Sena-
tor; Hon. George D. Wise, member of Con-
gress from this district; General PeYton
Wise, Captain John s. Wise, John
F. Lewis, United States District
Attorney; William G. Elan, editor
OF the Richmond Wing and prospective
Secretary of the Commonwealth; Richard
F. Beirne and VIM. Ryan, or the editorial
staff of the State; Capt. Asa Rogers, Jr., {,
State Railroad Commissioner; Gen. VIM. IL.
Payne, of Warrenton, Va, and L. Q Wash
ington. A petition in the shape of strong
protest against the passage of the bill, sign
ed by many prominent citizens, including a
number of the most eminent divines in this
city, was presented, but nothing further was
done with it.
The bill, being Immediately engrossed,
was subsequently taken up out of its order
and passed by an almost unanimous vote.
The election of capitol officers has been
postponed until after the holidays.
