THE SEQUEL.
How a Washer Made Trouble
in a Family.
X n
To End the Existence of q Loving
Husband, Probably With
Fatal Effect.

Word was received at The MINER office
late last night that Mr.. Hynk, the night
operator at the depot telegraph office, had
attempted to commit suicide, and that, in
all probability, his efforts in that direction
would be successful. The report was con-
irmed. The following are the particulars
OF this lamentable affair, and the reasons,
SO far al they can be learned, why this I'M
happy man made this attempt upon his
own life: Hynk and his wife have been liv-
ing for a considerable time in the vicinity OF
the depot, and, to all outward appear
ances, they were getting along very happily
together. According to the husbands story,
as related a few evenings ago, nothing oc-
Cured in the family circle to maj their hap
piness, until three weeks ago, when a young
man named Barry, who has been employed
at the Parrot mill as an engineer, formed
the acquaintance of Hynk's wife, and as
Barry is

and prides himself IN being u masher, it
was not long before Mrs. Hynk began to
see defects in her husband that would
probably never have come to light had not
the MASKING Barry made his advent into
the Hynk domicile. This state OF affairs
continued for some time, until the wife
thought herself to be head over ears i'll love
with the handsome engineer, and a few
evenings ago the silly pair met somewhere
in town. with the intention of clipping to-
gether. 1t appears, however, that Hynk
was acquainted with the intentions OF his
wife and her paramount, and with the aid
| of some of our police officers, prevented the
| would-be clippers from leaving the city.
| Hynk. his wife and Barry were found on
| Upper Main street engaged in a wordy war,
| and upon the invitation OF Officer Dyer the
| three persons repaired to the Police Court,
| where every one of the trio poured out the
| burden of their complaint to some persons
| who had undertaken to pour oil on the
troubled waters. After rehearslng all their
troubles, from Genesis to Revelations, and
receiving the advice of some older persons
present, the couple

and 60 home together. This they did
Barry Naving the married couple t o pursue
their way in peace. For a short time
everything in the Hynk mansion went as
smoothly as marriage bells, but it seems
that Barry had taken such a strong liking
to Mrs. Hynk, that he could not overcome
it. and on Tuesday night, (the same night
that the guilty pair had attempted to
elope) after Hynk had repaired to the tele.
graph office, Barry went to his (Hynk's)
house, and induced Mrs. Hynk to flee with
him. When Hynk came home few hours
afterwards he found that his wife had left
and upon investigation it transpired that
she had gone with Barry. Hynk I'M
mediately applied to the ~horl 1ol
assistance to enable him to bring his wife
back, but to no avail. 1t is said by persons
living in the vicinity of Hynk's rooms, ano
who are well acquainted with him, thai
then a sudden change came over the injured
husband. He has not been seen to eat any
thing since the night his wife first attempted
to run away from him, and the genera
oppinion was, that Hynk was greiving ovel
THE CONDUCT OF HIS WIFE,,
as a man who loves a woman who hal
wronged him, only can grieve.
Thus matters proceeded until yesterda!
evening about 5 o'clock. At that time
Mrs. Doane, at whose house Hynk hat
taken q room, was alarmed at hearing
piteous groans issuing from Hynk's apart
ments, and upon opening the door, she dis
covered Hynk lying on the floor IN a dy
ing condition. Mrs. Doane immediatel.
sent for DR.. Whitford, Jr., who was on thu
spot in a short time, and discovered tina
Hynk was a victim OF self-poisoning. TIL
Doctor did every thing in his power t.
counterfeit the effects OF the drug used, bu
as Hynk had swallowed about ten grain
of morphine, and as it had been, perhaps
three hours since he had taken the poison
it was soon discovered that he was beyOn'
human aid.
i A MINER reporter interviewed DIR. Whit
ford on the matter at midnight, and n
gave it as his opinion that Hynk could no
live many hours.
WHERE HYNK GOT THE POISON.
Tt appears that a gentleman living in tn
vicinity of the depot, who is making al
rangements to open II drug store, was WI
tied by Hynk yesterday morning, VIII
informed the druggist that he had no
slept any for several nights, and that h
wanted something to assist him in gettln
sleep. The druggist gave him a quantlt
of morphine, and told him to take 1t !
three doses. AS none OF the drug could /
found in Hynk's room, it is reasonable t
nresume that he took the three doses all 4
9 once.
I There is a great deal OF sympathy e!
: pressed for Hynk, by his acquaintance 8
I the depot, where he is looked upon as
! quiet, Industrious man.. Nothing has bee
> heard of Mrs. Hynk and Barry since the
l left on Tuesday night. TIL feelings OF tt
guilty. pair can better be imagined than de
cribed, when they find out that, by the
foolish action, Door Hynk has launcht
: himself into eternity.
