Sank tekRise No More-Was
a CiVf War Veteran.

John Leech, a painter and paper
hanger, was drowned in Lake Winola
Monday evening. In company with
Silas B. Robinson he was returning to
Mr.. Robinson's cottage about 730
o'clock and while stepping into row
boat lost his balance and fell into deep
water He failed to come TO the sur
face again. His body was recovered
about an hour later.
Coroner Winters, of wyoming coun-
ty, was summoned, but deemed 1t un-
necessary to hold an inquest owing
to the large number of persons who
saw the accident. He took the body
to his rooms in Mill City to await it
being claimed by his relatives.
The remains were later removed to
d. d. Jones & Sons undertaking es-
tablishment on Washington avenue.
Deceased was a native of Virginia
and a veteran of the Civil war. He
was about 45 years of age. But little
is known of his life owing to his ex-
treme reticence in regard to himself
He came to this city about ten years
ago from Paterson. N. ].
He was a member of the Elm Park
church and was also interested in the
work of the Rescue mission. The fun
eral arrangements will be announced
later.

ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
Edward Steindel, of South Scranton
Sent a Bullet Into His Brain Last
Night-He Will Probably Die.

Edward Steindel a man 62 years of
age, made a determined effort to end
his life by sending a bullet from his
revolver into his forehead, at his home
on Pear street, near Irving avenue,
at $50 o'clock last evening.
The act was committed in the yard
of his home.
His wife, who witnessed the deed,
ran to a neighbor's house and sum-
moned help.
Steindel, when picked up, was un-
conscious, and was a mass of blood.
DIR. John j. Walsh was called and
latter DR.. Manley arrived. They made
an examination of the wound, ard
made an effort to locate the ball. Ow-
ing to the mans condition it was de-
cided to let him rest and if he surviv-
ed the night which was considered i'm
probable, a further examination would
be made today 1t is thought hat the
bullet is lodged at the base of the
brain.
To a Tribune reporter who called at
the Steindel home last night, the fam
lily stated that there was not any rea-
son known why the father wished to
end his life. For several weeks he
has been i'll and despondent. and told
his wife and children he intended to
end his career
Reing in comfortable circumstances
they assured him that the remainder
of his days could be passed in ease.
During the past few days Stendel
acted as if he was becoming insane,
and his family were strongly consider
ing having him examined. and placed
in the Hillside Home
He was sinking rapidly at midnight,
and was still unconscious.

vANDLINa AND A RoBBEk.
They Had an Exciting Struggle on
the Steamer Shinnecock.

Ex- Postmaster Frank NJ. Vandling
had an exciting experience while on
his recent visit to Shelter Island. Mr..
Vandlng has been spending some time
at the Manhanset and going thither

trip from New York on the Shinnecock,

gigantic proportions, but who struggled
vigorously in Mr.. Vandling's grasp.

was strongly inclined to fling him over
board, indeed declaring such to be his
intentions. The robber begged pite-
ously for his life and was finally deliv-
cred up to the ships authorities.
One of the regulations placed in all
staterooms warns the occupant to close
the window upon retiring or leaving the
room, but the average sleeper objects
TO the idea of asphyXiating in such
narrow quarters and usually takes the
risk at night. On this occasion one of
the deck hands had climbed in from
the deck, which is an easy feat.

Patrolmen James Saul and Stephen
Dyer are no longer members of the
police force. Mayor Moir yesterday
asked for their designations and re-
lieved them from further duty. Neither
appeared on his beat last night.
Mayor Moir declined to discuss the
cause of the removals, further than to
say that he wanted the designations
and asked for them. He also said that
the designations would be forthcoming.
Both these officers have been slated
for dismissal ever since Mayor Moir
took his seat They are accused of per-
niCious activity in the interests of Mr..
Roche in the mayoralty campaign. At
least this is the only charge against
them as far as is known. One of the
first moves made by Mayor Moir after
his induction to office was to reduce
Dyer, who was mounted officer, to the
ranks of the patrolmen. He was gen.
orally acknowledged to he the shrewd-
est and most intelligent member of the
force
Patrolman Saul was also an efficient
officer and one of the bravest men on
the force. He was shot two years ago
while arresting drink-crazed youth on
the West Side and is minus the little
finger of his right hand as a result.
The youth in question stationed him
self at the head of a stairway with a
double -barreled shotgun, threatening to
kill anyone who entered the house.
Patrolman Saul responded to the call
for the police and after futile attempts
to coax the fellow into submission,
made a dash upstairs after him. The
lad fired and shot the officer in the
hand, but he continued up the stairs,
grappled his man and, although suffer
ing excruciating pain from his badly
mangled hand, disarmed and subdued
him.
Both Saul and Dyer were appontees
of Mayor Fellows.

VenuOn of letter carriers in this city
