Suffer the Pangs of Poverty.
CHICAGO, March 1S.-Upon cold marble
slab in the morgue at the County Hospital
there at present lie, side by side, The dead
bodies Of man and wife, by name, Mr. and
1Irs. Frederick JagoW. A small, stout cord
encircling each throat tells tale of suicide
The exact time the deeds were done can not
be learned, but from the appearance of the
victims and the stories of neighbors they
seem to have deliberately set about it
some time during Saturday. Mrs.
Broderick, their landlady, having failed
to see them since last Friday, had
natural curiosity to know what
was the matter. Monday morning she
learned the storm-door was bolted from the
inside, and on examination the windows
were found securely fastened. Papers were
hung over the windows so that no one was
able to see inside. In company with a
neighbours wife, Mrs. Broderick took
courage, and broke open window Before
she herself had seen anything the neighbor
screamed: "Look out! he is clinching his
fists at youp
The landlord was called, and, going to
the window, saw the lifeless form of the
man hanging to the door casing, his feet
reaching the floor. An entrance was effect
ed, and in the same little unfur-
nished room they saw hanging to the wall
the Woman's body, cold in death. Both
were attired in their best clothes, as they
would prepare for church. His boots were
polished, and she had fastened pretty lace
tie at her throat
In the large room, which had been COM
fortably furnished, there was every appear
ance of preparation. Fine bed clothing, a
handsome rug, several suits Of clothes, and
everything that could be of use was cut into
small bits. Even clothes-lne was cut in
pieces; and the cords used by them
for hanging themselves were not
more than one-siXteenth of an inch
in diameter. Gimlets were fastened
in the wall from which the two were to
suspend. Neither seems to have faltered,
and their intentions were carried out in the
most deliberate way imaginable Neither
OF the unfortunate people could speak the
English tongue, and as the man had been
unemployed for several weeks they evident
ly.were disheartened. The man was APP
parently forty years of age and the woman
about thirty-fve.
