A STRUGGLES FOR LIFE.
An Aged Man Beats . Woman Nearly to
Death and Kills Himself.

Death and kllls H1ms0lf.
New YORK, April 7.-Charles Harold,
a widower, II years old, ran amuck in q
tenement at II stanton street, with two
big revolvers, at 6 80 O'Clock this morn
ing. He tried to shoot the housekeeper,
Mrs. Louise Roth, but the pistols would
not go off, and then the old man went to
his own room in the same house and
shot himself dead. He used both re-
volvers, one bullet entering the temple,
the other his chest. Harold was a manu-
facturer of brushes, and the little room
was also his factory. Some neighbors
a son and daughter living in the West
was unclean in his habits, and lately
had become 30 disgusting that the land
lord secured a dispossess warrant, and
Harold was to leave the house today.
He blamed Mrs. Roth for this and de-
clared he would get even with he;. He
entered her apartments this morning
while she was in bed. He approached
her with both revolvers pointed at her
head. Mrs. Roth sprang from her bed
grasped him, and q desperate struggle
ensued. Harold snapped the revolvers,
but they would not explode. The old
man then beat Mrs. Roth on the head
with the revolvers, inficting severe cuts,
and beat her all over the body until she
was covered with wounds and bruises.
Her nightdress, her single Governing,
was torn from her body in the struggle.
The screams of the woman brought a
tenant named Hayes to her assistance.
The old man tried to shoot Hayes, but a
kick in the stomach took much Of the
fight out of Harold. Harold ran to his
room and ended his existence before the
police could be summoned. In his room
was a moose hanging from the door, with
which he had evidently intended to hang
himself He left note addressed to the
landlord saying that he had lain in wait
for him yesterday to kill him.
