A Preacher indicated.

PORTAGE, Wis, Aug. 15.-The dis
patches published concerning the at
tempted suicide of Rev. J. LANCE,
committed last week, on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul train, near
Minneiska, Mimi, stating that the
cause of the suicide was a scandal
prevailing in this city, are erro-
neous. Mr.. LANCE came to this city
from the vicinity of Sheboygan last
May, to take charge of the German
Trinitatis church, and bore an
unspotted reputation here. His
name was not connected with that
of any female whatever. His moral
character commanded the respect of
the leading men of his church, but
when he left the city, on Wednesday
of last week, his friends We're CON
WINGED that his mind had become I'M
hinged, and his attempted suicide was
doubtless the result of insanity,
brought on, it is thought, by brood
ing over old troubles. He is about 35
years of age and unmarried.
