A Young Man Attempts to Commit Sui
eide.
Quite a sensation was occasioned at
the residence Of Mrs. Hutmacher, on
East evenue, Saturday by the attempt
of young man named Joyce to commit
suicide.
Joyce and another young man boards
at Mrs. Hutmacher's. A pretty and
popular young lady is member of the
family. Joyce is dead inslove with her,
but finds it a hard matter to get his
affections returned.
The young lady smiled ON tho other
fellow. Joyce was much put out, but
thought he was getting along all right
until something occurred tina prompted
him to shake off this mortal coil.
Thursday night his rival took the
young lady to the opera. Joyce didn't
see them go, and sat waiting patiently
in the parlor for the young lady's ap-
pearance. But she came not The rival
came, however, late at night when the
play was over.
The young lady entered the house by
tho rear door and retired. joyce asked
the rival where she was, and was told
that she was at her room. Then every
body retired.
Joyce learned yesterday that he was
duped. He felt that his solid footbold
had slipped away and gave himself up
to remorse. Straightway he won't to a
druggist, purchased largo bottle of
laudanum and returned.
Downing suit OF nobby clothes he
went in the young lady's presence. lie
made known his intentions and at
tempted to swallow the deadly dose.
Just as the deadly poison was placed
to his lips the young lady struck the
bottle away, and reproyed him for his
fool-hardy act.
Joyce was foiled and retired. The
bottle when examined later bore the
label of landanum, but Joyce asserts
that tho contents was whiskey The
enthusiastic rival is jubilant. and SAYS
he now has free course. Joyce is
entirely out of the question.
