The Record say here we're ne
hundred persons, - oi th'' twenty
thousand who died IN rUiiadGiphia last
year, who took the snOr. way TO the
hereafter through the gate Of snicide.
Twenty.eightpersons hung themselves !;
twenty. six shot themselves to death /;
twenty.six poisoned themselves four.
teen cut their throats, and six drowned
themselves. Probably there is no easier
form Of death than drowning, but it
evidently is not the popular method
nine months in the year.
The water is shivery cold that fact
may have its deterring influence There
is very general popular belief that
hanging Is Il painless way Of getting
out of the world. The fearful struggles
and contortions Of some poor wretches
who are hung in the presence OF wit
nesses and in conformity TO law do not
bear evidence Of the truth of the pre-
vailing notion 1t is astonishing, how
ever, that half the people who kill
themselves in Philadelphia should re-
sort either to gunpowder or poison.
These are uncertain methods.

FOURTH EDITION,
A Queer Case Of Auperstiiion.

A most remarkable case OF supersti'
ton has just come TO light In New Lots,
a suburb Of Brook. n,where the author
tiles have discovered religious society
that has kept the dead body OF It's
leader for fourteen days in the expecta'
ton that life will be restored to II. Five
years ago seven persons, five men ana
two women, came from Chicago and
settled In New Lots. They occupied one
house and did no work, believing that
they were under the especial care on
God, who would provide them with all
things needful. How they have man
aged to live is a mystery Their leader
was RobertJ. Haynes, about 50 years
old, an intelligent, educated man, but
monomaniac Oh the subject of religion.
Il said that he was prosperous bust
ness man in the West and gave up 3d.
500 position, turned his money over
to the society and with bis wife Joined
the society.
Fourteen days ago he died Of con-
sumption. His wife went to Chicago,
saying that her husband would join her
there. Since the body has laid on cot
in the room where the others sleep,
dressed in ministerial black, with hat
and shoes on. One of the members said
Brother Haynes Is still with US.
He is only dead for punishment, and
III few days will return 10 life. You
see, he never wanted to die, and II AIDE
up his mind that he would not. God,
to punish him, caused his death, but he
will restore him to life, TO work more
earnestly for his glory"
They will not allow the body to be
buried and say that they will send 1t TO
Chicago. The health officers will see
that the laws are complied with.

The Nih1list's Triumph +.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 1.-Lieuten.
ant General Sudiekin is now believed
to have been murdered in the Rathef1
Building, near the Moscow Railway
Station, by Nihilists, who enticed him
thither by pretending to convey the in
telligence that Socialist meeting was
in progress there
During the terrorism, two years ago,
General Sudeikin said: $ ! am told the
Nihilists are preparing my funeral.
They will fi.I it pretty difficult to car
ry out their intentions, as am always
accompanied by six detectives-three
behind and three in front"
Lieutenant-General Sudeikin stood al
most six feet and halfin his stockings
and was of Hereeulean strength to
Judge from the broken furniture and
debris in the Groom wherein his body was
found, he made desperate struggle for
life. He was highly intelligent and
humane, and knew his business better
than anybody before him.
Daily Republican., 1884-01-02

A high police functionary says that
the death of Lieutenant General
Sudeikin is terrible loss to Russia.
Nobody was so thoroughly acquainted
with the secrets and tactics of the Nj.
hilists. His funeral, which took place
from the Mariensk Hospital and
church, was attended by Nil the minis
tiers.
After the silver brocaded coffin fol-
lowed his weeping widow, his favorite
horse in mourning and large number
of ladies, the music of the Horse Guard
playing dead march. Sudeikins as
sistaut and scompaniOn who died of
wounds received in the struggles with
the Nihilists, was his own nephew. The
assassination had most depressing
effect on the Gar, who was on the
point of making constitutional conces-
sions, but is now SAID to be firmly re-
solved on most stringent and binding
measures.
