iery OF His Con,psniobs-A Man
Found Dead Ia He'd
A melancholy suicide was committed la
WARWICK, yesterday morning. Henry
Peinoman, an industrious German, OF
gullclcss disposition, with nature too
sensitive to endure the raillory Of his
companions, sought relief Mt tho end
Of the halter, being discovered about noon
stone dead, hanging to latter in his gar.
ret. AS we'll as can be learned, the par.
tioulars OF tho tragedy are as follows :
Mrs. Ponemau, to whom the deceased
had been married moro than threo years
and whose domestic relations with him
were of the plcasantost kind, left her
home about O'Clock In tho morning to
attend the funeral of Adam Shroincr, ut
New Haven. She returned TO tho Peine-
man domicle about noon, aud was some
what startled To find the doors locked and
all tho windows down. Marvelling at this
strange state Of affairs, sho hastily climbed
in tho window aud hurrying up stairs, was
Mortified To find tho dead body Of hor
husband hanging from rafter in tho
attic. An alarm was at once given,
neighbors hurried in and tho body was cut
down. Ii was then discovered that the
remains waro cold, loaliug to tho theory
that the unfortunate man had committed
the rash act shortly after HIS widows
departure. Tho locking of tho house
| doors to guard against interruption shows
| that tho suicides determination TO kin
hi mself was carefully promeditatcd.
The deceased was about 80 years Of ago
and was for sOCie time u hOstlGr at the
Warwick house. Besides his wife several
grown step children survive him. The
motive for his suicide is believed to DO his
desire to escape from the teasing of somo
of his fellow workmon. lie was In tho
employ of Buch & Bro, working in their
tobacco warehouse. Not long since Pein
oman's watch was stolen, and tbs loss
troubled him not little. IL was after
| wards found on tho person of younG man
named Miller. Peiucman's fellow work
men tcaSed him considerably about tho
matter, and when ho finally recovered his
| property, some OF the wags about the
warehouse told him ho must prosecute
young Miller. His real friends explained
TO him the absutdIty of bringing suit aftor
| the watch had been recovered. Distracted
IN mind by these contradictory advioes,
he became very despondeut. This per.
haps with other causes unknown super.
induced his suicide.
| Deputy Coroner Reidenbach held an in-
quest, tho jury rendering a verdict in
accordance with the above facts. When
Mrs. Peineman entered the house there
were fow dishes and tho romans of
lunch on the dining room table, showing
that the deceased had taken measures for
his death with calm de'brration.
A Man found Dead In Bsd.
| David HabeCkcr, aged G7 years, was
found dead this morning by his son,
Aaron, at his home about one half mile
from Lititz, on tho road to Rome. The

last evening and retired in the best of
spirits. He was widowor for some years
and leaves n grown up family. Deputy

panuoed a jury consisting Of Henry He'll

cause Of death was heart disease.
