A QUEER STORY OF SUICIDE.

A servant who was on the fourth
floor of Gustave A. Walthers saloon.
No. 412 Library street, about 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, heard "A pistol re.
port, and, pushing open the door of s
room occupied by John Tobler, dis
covered him lying upon the floor dy-
ing of bullet wound in the forehead.
A heavy revolver lay on the floor near
by. Mr. Walthar was quickly sum.
moned, but Tobler, who was Bis friend
died before he arrived. The saloon.
keeper was grief stricken, rs he had
been chatting agreeably with Tobler
about IL o'clock. A lengthy letter was
found. addressed to Mr.. Walther Civ
ing a full explanation of the motive o.
the suicide. The writer said that hr
had been the victim of his partner.
Adolph Mayer, and had sunk all his
money in the business of lnanufactur-
ing pocket-books. Mayer had offered
him $50 for his interest. lie had killed
himself because he had been cheated
Tobler was 50 years old and a natiy-
of st. Gall Switzei land. He came to
this city early in the year. On Jan.
11th he went into partnership with
Mayer at No. 104 north 9th street. To
bler's first intention was to go into the
wine business, his sons having vine
yard in Switzerland. Tobler believed
that he had been swindled, and yes
terday had Mayer arrested on sher-
if IS capias in civil suit to recover
the amount he had invested. Mr.
Walther says Tobler told him he hasl
lost II, 600.
Last evening Mayer and his sales
man, Charles Buescher, told story
which put another complexion upon
the matter. On Tuesday last, they
said Tobler, on the eve of his depart
ure for New York. said he had insured
the stock of pocket-books and satch-
els for Sc, 600 in the Germania and Gil
rard companies. He pointedly told
Buescher that he would give him So
600 if he would scatter coal oil on the
stock and set fire to and burn out the
place in his absence. Mayer said To
bier had previously wanted him to
buy out his interest for $2, 600, paying
$500 a week. Tobler came back from
New York on Thursday. His first
words to Buescher were, How is it
the place amt burned out YETI" Yes
terday he had Mayer arrested. Mayer
insinuated that the reason for the sui
eide was the failure of the scheme to
burn out the store and the release of
Mayer after his arrest on the capias.
Mr.. Walther, who was asked to be ad-
ministrator by Tobler i'm his letter, de
nounced Mayors and Bues.her's sto-
ries as untrue and only intended to

POETRY.
NEW EVERY MORNING

Every day is a fresh beginning,
Every morning is the world made new,
You who are weary of sorrow and SHINING,
Here is a beautiful hope fer you;
A hope for me and hope for you.
All the past things are past and over,
The tasks are done and the tears are shed,
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover:
Yesterdays wounds, which smarted and bled
Are healed with the healing which night
has shed.
Yesterday now is part of forever,
Bound up in a sheaf which God holds tight,
With glad days, and sad days, and bad days
which never
Shall visit us more with their bloom am
their blight,
Their fullness of sunshine or sorrowful night.
Let them go, since we cannot relieve them,
Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God in his mercy forgive, receive them
Only the new days are our own,
To-day is ours and to-day alone.
Here are the skies all FURNISHED brightly.
Here is the spent earth all reborn;
Here are the tried limbs springing lightly,
To face the sun and to share with the morn
In the chrism of dew and the cool OF the
dawn.
Every day is fresh beginning:
Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain,
And spite of old sorrow and older SHINING,
And puzzles forecasted and possible pain,
Take heart with the day, and begin again.
Susan Coolidge,
