The boys namo is John Z. EastiaAd. Jr. He
Joined the Sunday school in May. 1887. when
he was but little more than 2 years old.
and he has been going ever since. What makes
this regularity OF attendance the more re-
murkable is that until q few months ago the
Enstlants lived six miles out In the country,
ana had to drive TO town before o'clock every
sunday morning. Much of the time John has
had to come through all sorts of disagreeable
weather, and very frequently by himself.
Sometimes ho has come through binding rain
and billiards.. when other children who lived
within a stones throw Of tho church have
stayed away.

O saloon and restaurant at 175 East Houston

owned n saloon aud restaurant at So First avo-
nuo and another at b23 Sixth street. He also
carried on n beer bottlinR business and had
large number OF customers. Last November he
sold the two restaurants named and bought the
saloon at 80 East Houston from Bernard Hey
ner, lIe paid $1,000 for the fixtures and good
will of tho place.
Heyner. who mad n lease on the property, be-
came his landlord. Hetzel did not get along rs
well as he expected, and the business fell of
gradually. He tried every means to build up
good trade, but from some reason or other the
old customers OF tho place did not patronlZo
him. Finally he was unable to pay his rent. A
week ago he was notified by the landlord that
he would be dspossessed unless,he paid up. Hey
ner went before Civil Justice Roesch and swore
out disp0ssess oI proceeding
- A sherlff's marshal sold the place out on
Friday Everything was bought in by Heyner,
the former owner. who had a mortgage on the
saloon. The fixtures and contents OF the estab-
lishment, for which lietzel had paid $1,000
were knocked down to Heyner for little over
$500. IIo killed himself yesterday while his
wife and family wore packing up their belong
ings and getting ready to move.
