Shot Himself in the Head at His Homo II
RrOnklHn.

Shot Himself in the Head ut His Homo In
Brooklyn.
John H. scheible, aged 80 years. a compositor.
recently engaged by q law book publication
firm, committed suicide yesterday afternoon
by shooting himself through tho head at
his homo on the secoEd floor of the
house at 314 Sixth street, Brooklyn. He and
his wife, Carrie Scheible, had been living at the
Sixth street house for the last six months. Thoy
had no children.
On Aug. 8 Mr.. Scheible received a telegram AM
nouncing tho death Of his father, John s.
Scheible at Youngstown. Ohio. and saying that
the funeral would take place three days later.
Another telegram was received within an hour
by Mrs. Scheible from her brother, VIM.
A.. Rumble at Ithaca, n. Y, announcing
the death Of her brother Nicholas. and asking
her to come to the funeral. which was also fixed
three days later. There was a dispute, 1t seems,
between Mr.. Scheible and his wife as to which
of them should go. there not being money
enough for both to go.
On the day after Mrs. Scheihle left a letter
came addressed to her from Ithaca explaining
that her brother, who is a hotelkeeper there.
had mmit suicide. Mr.. Scheihle evidently
read ibis letter. for it was found open in his
pocket after he had killed himself.
The neighbors noticed that he became despond-
emit after the departure OF his wife, and he re-
marked to one Of them on Thursday night that
he was tired Of life. At 2 o'clock he called on
Mrs. Fred osphlart, at 3l2 First street, and af-
ter telling her OF his troubles. said that there
was a strange buzzing in his head. An hour or
so later he shot himself. A letter to his wife
was found on the table in which he said:

Hard RtEhts between Oar seausen ana jap
anese Coolies at hebe, Sapan.

hahFe E'EhNs Hotween Our geamen ana jap
anese Coolies at nkese, Japan.
TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 1A.-Details OF the ston-
Ing OF forty American bluojackets by japanese
coolies and roughs have Just boon re-
ceiyed from Kobe. Japan. The fight started
with q brutal attack upon James Null
lens, a seaman on board the cruiser
Boston. Mullons had been drinking. but on tho
way to his ship q policeman iostled him. Null
Ions jostled him in return, and the oficer, aided
py several coolies, began to assault tho seaman.
mnIens grappled with the Japanese police
man and tossed him into tho water. When the
oficer ciambercd out Mullens promptly I'M
armed him, and, brandishing the policeman's
sword, scared him of. as we'll as the other Japs.
Meantime the coolies increased in numbers
and when Mullens offered to return tho sword
to the policeman he was knocked down, and }.
M. Harmon OF the Seamans' Institute OF Kobe,
under oath, swore that fifty coolies jumpod
upon the lone blue jacket and nearly kicked him
to death.
Mullens finally struggled to his feet, covered
with blood. and attacked the policeman, and the
attack resulted In his being sentenced to sixty
days imprisonment and to pay a fine. The sem
tence was pronounced by Hunter Sharp, who
conducted the United States Consular Court.
The Kobe, now an impartial English publica-
tion, sympathizes with Mullens and asserts that
evidence is at hand which. however. was not
presented to the Consular Court, that
shows that Mullens, covered with dirt
and blood. was bound hand and foot
and dragged over the cobblcstones after he
assaulted the policeman, and was kicked and
insnlted by tho coolies as he passed.
rue next day a party OF sailors from tho
American war vessel we're attacked by the
coolies. and several of the coolies were knocked
down..
The sailors were pursued, however, and as
the coolies and roughs increased in number. the
sailors collects sd their men ashore, and by the
time they. reached the point where they usually
embarked for the warship. there. were forty
seamen running a double quick time and or.
ganized for the defence.
The coolies stoned them. and three times the
Yankees returned the assault, using cobble-
stones, and scattering the Japanese with broken
heads and bloody faces. No native boatmen
would take the sailors to their ships. and every
native who started to como 70 their asslstance
was stoned and driven of by the coolies.
Finally. under heavy police, protection, tho
sailors were cotton Off in police boats:
A week later Ensign Everhard OF the YORK
town was assaulted by q j~inriksha man; He
dubbed the coolies with a cane. and Sharp's
Consular Court acquitted him as having acted
entirely in self-defence.
On account of the impudence Of the coolies,
foreigners will probably 60 armed in Kobe here
after.
The Japan Mail. q government paper, de-
nounces the impudence of coolies and jinriksha
men.
