affair. In which their son Oscar took
part that il likely to prove fatal
unless nm unforeseen and grateful emer-
gency arises. lie has, for long time
past, been very downcast and unhappy
over the state OF his health and his
iucapacity to earn competency on
that score. His sorrow eliminated yes
terday morning in an attempt to end
his life by means OF stranguation. lie
was found by his father, seated In a
chair near the bureau in his room, with
strap around his throat and the up.
per end OF il over the bureau top,
and the terrible work was nearly com
pleted. His father released him in
stantly, and invoked medical aid with
out loss Of time, and all day yester-
day the work OF restoring him to life
and comfort went on assiduously, but
II is said, hopelessly, and his death Is
expected hourly. Young Mr.. Morton
has suffered everything fro man incur
able case OF blood. poisoning, which in.
volved his head and face, and caused
him the deepest suffering and mortifica-
tion. and this is thought TO have moved
him, primarily, to the desperate course
he undertook. Doctors ]. A. Fulton and
O. b. Estes are doing all in their power
to mitigate the results OF the rash act,
but are not hopeful Of the outcome. AT
s o'clock last evening young Mr.. Nor
ton was still alive, but with scarely
any chance in his favor for q saving
re action. The family has the sincere
sympathy Of their many friends in As
