ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A Young Woman I'm . House or III Fame
Shoots Herself.

About eleven o'clock last evening the re.
port of pistol was heard in the house of
i'll fame, No. II Ferry street, and in q few
moments the house was surrounded by q
crowd and the occupants went TO where
the report proceeded, and found the pro-
prietress Maggie Shuttle, lying in a pool Of
blood. The alarm was at once spread and
a messenger dispatched for DIR. +. p. Lang
fit, who upon examination OF the wound,
found that the ball had entered above the
left breast, and after striking the first rib,
took downward course, passing the heart
without injuring it. and lodging in the
twelfth rib near the spine. The ball was
easily extracted in a somewhat tiattened
condition. Unless pneumonia sets in, the
doctor has strong hopes OF her re-
covery. The woman is probably
twenty-eight or thirty years Of age, OF
fine form and rather handsome. The in.
mates, as well as the woman herself, are
very reticent rs 10 the cause OF the shoot
ing, merely saying that she has had trou
bic, but the supposition is, which was
learned from another source, that the act
was on account OF some man deserting her.
That the action was premeditated and has
been in contemplation for some time is
evident from the fact that a few days ago
she sent to Wheeling for her sister to come
on, and when she arrived, the injured girl
DOugnt revolver from one OF tne DehOy
pawn shops, and Just before the shooting
she took her sister TO one OF the upper
rooms, and after telling her watch and
bracelets were for her and a chain for her
husband in Wheeling. she sent her down
stairs on an errand. While she was away
the girl took the revolver, and, after plac.
ing the muzze so the ball would pass
Though the heart, fired. At the time the
reporter visited the house. she seemed to
be in a semi.unconscious condition, but be-
fore he left had ceased 10 moan and recov.
cred consciousness.
Ii has since been learned that her right
name was Ball, and that he formerly lived
in Wheeling W. Va. Some seven or eight
years ago she listened TO the voice OF q
commercial drummer, and after sort OF
marriage ceremony was taken by him tg
Chicago, and afterward deserted. She thou,

there ever since. About six months ago
She again tried TO make a reconciliation
with her relatives, and letters have been
exchanged until the present time, when in.
telligence was received 10 the effect that
her desire was impossible, and could not be
granted. This is supposed 10 be the real
cause Of her attempted suicide.-Pdt"''"Hh

When he alighted at Midway in the midst
OF cold driIzling rain, he noticed small
knot Of men standing in the shelter OF the
station building, and judging from thsir
appearance that they were part Of the

query as to how things stood. One Of them,
in clear and concise manner. presented
their side in its best light, using the argu-
ments which for weeks past have beer daily
given to the public. He held that the

and when asked about the Ohio colored
miners, he said: They have been brought
