Ex-Representative Voorhis' Suicide.

Charles II. Voorhis committed suicide
last night in his law Office in the David
son building, Jersey City. 1t is thought
that dependency was the cause.
Judge Noorhis was sixty years of age.
He served in the Forty-sixth Congress.
In 1880, when the Hackensack Bank failed,
Mr.. Voorhis was president of the insti-
tuition. The failure brought about wide
spread ruin, and President Voorhis was
arrested and tried on the charge of having
used the funds of the bank in specula-
ton. He was acquitted.
