ALMOST A SUICIDE.
Mr. John II. GIL, While Suffering from
Melancholia, Attempts to Cut His Throat.


Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock,
a negro stable hand employed at the sale
hire, and delivery stables Of Peter Paul,
on Franklin street near Lumpkin's Bot
tom. went 10 the building in real Of the
stable 10 get hay for the horses. The hay
IL kept In loft in the second story OF
this rear building. AS the stable man
with pitchfork began 10 remove the hay
from the heap he saw what he thought
was q dead man. He at once dropped
his pitchfork and ran of, scared almost
to death, 10 give the alarm. The men IN
the stable went TO the loft and there
found Mr.. John H. Gill In com
atose state, weltering in his blood.
1t seems that some time during the
morning Mr. Gill came 10 the stables, and
after speaking with parties there appar-
emily left. He did not do so however
but quietly went into the hayloft, and
either had drank before, or drank there's
goodly dose Of laudanum and tnen
crawed under the heap OF hay. lie then
took from his pocket penknfe and cut
his neck on both sides Of the windpipc
but not sufficiently deep 10 sever an im-
portant artery or vein or 10 cut the wind
pipe.
After committing the deed he pitt the
bloody knife back into his pocket, where
it was found He was taken from the
hayloft and brought to the stable, and
the city ambulance was called. Mr.. Gill
vas taken 10 the AlmshOuse Hospital for
treatment, and last night The physician

a DELIGHTFUL EVENING .
The Entertainment at Corcoran's Hall by
the Little Cleaners.

Corcorans Hall was filed last night
with an enthusiastic audience to enjoy
the performance given by The Little
Cleaners Society Of Old St. Johns
church for ihe purpose of raising funds
to par off the debt on the Chapel OF the
Good Shepherd.
The entertainment was q thoroughly
enjoyable one. The grand drill OF ali
nations, led by little Bessie Brown, was
ap2laudcd to the echo, and the tableaux
were beautiful. The first representing
the Goddess of Liberty, with Miss
Mamie Harrison as the central
figure, was exquisite and ELECTED
well-deserved encore. and the
Dish OF Scandal and Spring Time
of Love were equally beautiful. 1t
would give us great pleasure to mention
the names of all the ladies individually
who took part if we only knew
them, for all acted and posed in a man
uer worthy OF all admiration. We can
only say that little Julia Tyler as Cupid
in the tabeau, The Spring Time of
Love, was as cute and cunning as
possible
The musical portion of the entertain
ment was all that could be desired The
solos Of Mr. Leftwch, Miss Jennie Fer
Qusson, and little Ellen Archer were
beautiful, and each called forth hearty
eRc0res. Taken altogether, no more
pleasant entertainment has ever been
given IN Richmond.
