SUICIDE NEAR LOOMS.
A Stranger Takes His Own Life
Without Apparent Cause.

The body of a man was found lying
face downward about fifty feet from
the track a little east of Loomis, Placer
County, on Wednesday night by some
section hands.
A revolver was tightly c1enched in
the right hand, and on turning the
body over, they found that a bullet
had passed through the mouth into the
head 1t was undoubtedly a case of
suicide, in their opinion. In the pock-
cts of the dead man was found sec
ond-class ticket from Sacramento to
Salt Lake, dated September 7th, and
numbered 3,174, bearing the sigma
ture of John Eliza, as near as it could
be deciphered. In his vest pocket was
a new Rockford gold watch No. 361,-
627, while two $50 pieces and some
silver were found in his other pockets,
showing that he was not destitute. He
also had a memorandum book in his
pocket, with Byron Jackson, Wood
land written on it. Entries
in a notebook were in Ger
man, although the dead man ap-
peared like a Portuguese. He ap-
peared to be about 80 or 80 years old,
and had on an unlaundered shirt with
clean white collar. On a slip of paper
We're the words, Sacramento, Septem-
Der Z, 1891 Mr.. John Doe owes me $40
on account" It was apparently signed
ID. C. Gee" In one of his pockets also
was a Bible and a handkerchief bore
the initials IL. L. F.
Byron Jackson is a large pump man
ufacturer and foundryman in San
Francisco, and has large fruit ranch
near Woodland, but inquiry developed
the fact that at the Postoffice there
and the store where Jackson's laborers
are paid their wages the name of John
Eliza was unknown. The body was
taken to Auburn, and the Coroner will
keep it a few days for possible identi-
cation.

try and harmonic as far as possible
the cOntending factions the Government
established a trading post there. John
Howard Payne appeared upon the
scene, and was accused of melting the
Indians to ~insubordination. He was
placed under arrest as an incendiary
and carried to the counciI-house.
While Payne was held there one Of
the first bands arrived, and among the
Indians was the chief Go-chee, or Rat
tling Gourd, broken-hearted man. He
was moody and abstracted, and refused
all invitations to the council house, and
would partake of no festive enjoyment
whatever, but spent the most of the
time at the graves of his wife and child
further up the valley. One morning he
was missed. Welterfng in his own
blood, his body was found between the
little mounds that covered his squaw
and papoose. In some way he had Sc
creted a bayonet, fallen upon the point
of it and died on the spot where he had
often expressed a desire to be laid for
his last long sleep.
A grave was dug on the spot where
he lay and the chief was buried bv
the soldiers, one of the Moravian mis-
sionaries officiating After the SER
vices were over, John Howard Payne,
who had been a silent witness of the
pathetic scene, began singing softly to
himself the song which has since been
echoed through every land on the
earth. General Bishop, who had kept
a close scrutiny on his actions, heard
the song and called Payne to him.
Young man." said the stern old In
dian fighter, where did you learn that
song?"
Il wrote that song myself" replied
Payne.
And where did you get the tuner"

IN ONE TENEMENT.
How Twelve Hundred and Sixty
People Live.

A few days ago a. dog on the roof of
a big tenement-house kept more than
1900 persons from enjoying the cooling
evening breezes in their accustomed
place for two or three evenings. The
dog was left up on the roof by a ten
ant who had moved, and, getting hun
grier every day, soon became so saw
age that a policeman was called in to
kill him.
This story in itself isn't so very re-
markable, but that one building should
be the home of so many human be-
ings, the size of many a village in this
country of ours, will astonish even New
Workers.
The building is one of the best of the
tenement-houses in the city 1t was
constructed in 1881 by the Improved
Dwellings, Association. 1t is in First
avenue occupying the whole block be-
tween Seventy-first and Seventy-sec-
ond streets. 1t is built around three
sides of a court, the fourth side open
ing into the row of yards in the rear
of the houses on the north side of
Seventy first and the south side of Sew
enty-secOnd street.
There are 21S tenements in this block,
and at present 210 of them are occu-
pied A very conservative estimate of
the size of the average family, the jan
itor says, is six. That makes the num-
Der of dwellers in the building 1860 a
very good sized village. In fact, there
are a good many villages in the New
England hill towns to-day that haven t
so many inhabitants. If all of the 21S
tenements were occupied with families
averaging six each this house would
shelter 1,30S persons.
In 210 families, allowing three chill
dren to a family, there would be $50
children; allowing four to each family
there would be $40. Think of it, some
where between 600 and 800 children
playing in one COURT It seems incred-
ible. but one can easily believe it after
visiting the court, especially in the ear
" evening. There are children, chill
dren everywhere and of all sizes, from
the infant just old enough to be
brought out in its mothers arms to the
boys and girls who are earning their
own living And such a. noise as the
younger children can make when they
all get playing together, while their
fathers sit on the steps and smoke their
pipes anu tlielI 1HOlAeI0 SOSSAp- AZ
such a time it is easy to see where the
block got it's neighborhood name of
THE Barracks
During these hot nights the roof is
a common gathering place for the
building is a high one, and any air
stirring is sure to be felt up there.
The tenements vary in size, running
from four rooms each to eight or nine,
while the rent is from S6 to S14 a
month. They are in good demand, too,
and usually the population of the build
ing will be found paying the larger fig
ures rather than the smaller.-New

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Shaw Dramatic Company had a
crowded house at the Metropolitan
Theater last night. 1.-The Two Or
phans" has been repeatedly played
here, and by some of the best dram
attic organizations. In all the material
phases of the play it has only rarely
been given better than by Mr.. Shaw s
troupe. Tt was well staged, well man
aged. and the chief characters were
sustained with skill worthy of far more
pretentious organizations. The old bag
who is so prominent in this touching
drama is rather too heavy a part for
Mrs. Shaw, but her exceeding versa
tility was demonstrated by assumption
of the role. Mr.. Shaw was entirely ac-
ceptable as the Chevalier. Mr.. Hallett's
heavy villain is a part familiar to him,
as he has frequently had the part in
this play, and has given it with uni
form success. Miss De Vault as Louise,
the blind girl, gave those who knew her
earlier in her career another surprise.
She played it more than well, with a
feeling and discriminating judgment
highly creditable. Her advancement in
dramatic walks is remarkable. Her
versatile capacity was manifest last
night when she capitally doubled as the
Nun in the refuge. Here is a little
woman who in vaudeville gives clever
fancy dance and song, in comedy is the
piquant coubrette. in character work q
typical tough girl and in drama sus-
tains effectively two leading emotional
roles in the same play-al1 around
adaptability not often found. Miss
Howe gave good reading of Henri
etta's lines, infusing the part with
feeling and realism The support was
good throughout-in short, the Shaw

rett, Rev. A. c. Herrick officiating. The
house was tasefully decorated for the
occasion, and the bride, in a dress of
white organdie, looked very charming
as she stood beneath bower of flow
ers and ferns. About thirty relatives
and immediate friends witnessed the
ceremony and sat down to q choice re-
past. Many beautiful and useful gifts
testified to the esteem in which the
pair are held. Amid a shower of rice,
the happy couple departed on their
wedding trip to San Francisco and
other points. On their return they will
occupy their cosy home just completed
