Eigl',cr'n street, who, up to arou, two
months ego and previous 10 thar tim -.
about twenty years was Collector OF IN
ternal Revenue in the Tnird district, CON
mitted suicide Yesterday by shooting him
self through the head in the private Office
of James Pyle, soap manufacturer al No.
25l Washington street.
The clerks in the establishment were
shortly before o'clock startled by hearing
the discharge OF pistol in the apartment
and on going in saw Mr.. Tuthil! sitting on
a chair with his right arm hanging beside
him. In his hand was a seven. barre!ed re-
yolver, one chamber OF which was empty,
ana Just behind the right ear was mole
from which blood flowed freely. Mr.. Pyle,

TO that institution he died.

from the position of Revenue Collector.
Mr.. Tuthell has been exceedingly despond-
ent, which evidently resulted IN melan-
cholv and drove him to take his life. he
had hopes of being reinstated in the posi-.
ton which he lost, but finally abandoned
il. In conversation with Mr Pyle about
his removal some days ago, he attributed i:
10 the fact that Messrs. Pierre Van WycE.
Charles Blakeley and Alexander smith; a.!
of whom were his staunch friends, had died
one after another recently, and that his po-
sition was wanted by q younger and more
active man. The deceased has always been

lived in Hubert street, and was for upward
OF thirty wears prominent in the politics OF
his district, the Republican Association OF

bis salary, which being cut of by his re-
moval,
Left Him wAhout Resources.
He had been q successful business man Tor

BAD FOR MUTT.
His Trial Postponed Until Oecem-
ber.
Argument on Petition for POstponoment- =
The Principal Witness for the Defense
Seriously IIl-The Prisoner
Affected.

I'NIoNTowy, September 5.-The Court was
lled with people when Judge Wilson took
his seat on the bench this morning. I'm.
mediately on the opening Of Court, Hon.
W. II. Playford, of counsel for defense in
the trial of young Mutt, presented petit
ton asking a continuance OF the case until
the December term oil Court. The petition,
which was very brief, sets forth that M.
Breckenridge. one OF the principal vii
nesses for the defense, is suffering from ty-
phoid fever, and that it would be impossi-
BE for him to appear in Court during the
week. perhaps for a much longer time,
DR.. Bowie, Who is BreCkenridge's attend
ing physician, was then called by counsel,
and being questioned about Mr.. BGecken-
ridges condition, replied that it would be a
APbysicaI ImpossibiIy
for him to appear as witness if the tria!
was taken up at once. Mr.. b. had been
confined to his bed since sunday. Judge
Wilson remarked that it was altogether
owing to Breckenrdge's materiality as
witness whether a poStponement should
be granted or not. If the defense regarded
Breckenridge testimony as necessary to
their case, and were unwilling to let the
trial 20 on, the petition would be granted.
Mr.. Playford here took occasion to impress
upon His Honor that Breckenridge was
the principal witness for the defense, and
il would be sacrificing the interests Of the
defendant
Proceed without Him.
Judge Wilson then turning TO the District
Attorney, asked if there Were any objec'
tiOns to a postpOnement On the part OF the
Commonwealth, and being answered IN the

the defense in insisting on pOstponement
of the trial. Some OF the best talent at the
bar, and who are among the warmest
friends Of the Mutt family, consider 1t
Detrimental to the Defendant.
They claim that the trial should take place
while the tragedy in all its aspects is still
fresh in the public mind. This argument
