Most Lamentoble Suieide.-Yesterday young
man named John Mcbride. clerk of tho steamboat
New World, committed suicide by shooting him.
self with gun through the neck, near the pla ce
whore the spinal column joins the head. Tho
cause of this most melancholy act can only be d..
vined from the following note. found on the desk
in the room where the act was committed, written
in the usual hand of the deceased:


"From no other cause than insanity, a disease
which has been troubling me 70: many years.


Nov. 4th. 1914. J. MCBRIDE.


The captain and other officers Of the boat we're
at dinner when the report Of the gun was heard,
and upon trying tho doors Of the state.room
whence the sound proceeded, both were found
locked. Forcing open ono of tho doors, the un.
fortunate young man was found gasping his last
breath and weltering in bis own gore. Coroner
Douglass soon after held an inquest over his re-
mains, and the jury returned verdict in accord.
ance with the foregoing facts.


The deceased, we learn, is native Of Pittsburgh
or that vicinity, has held the station he occupied
at the time of his death on the New World for
nearly two seasons, flingit to the entre satsfac-
ton Of all concerned, and was accounted by al
who knew him, an affable and accom- plished gen.
tleman. In his private life he is represented to
have been bright pattern of temperance and mo-.
rality, never giving counsel, by example or other
wise, to- any of tn ose which are too COM
mon to young men in his time and sphere of life.
His death in this awful form; surrounded as he
was by friends, is q matter Of astonishment as
we'll as deep and unfeigned sorrow 10 all who had
the pleasure of his acquaintance, or have learned
the sad ,dings of his melancholy end.


The Perote P,isoners-These unfortunate men
about 100 in number, arrived here on yes,erda y
in the Creole from Vera Cruz, and are in the mos,
miserable condition. The Democratic Committee
Room, at ll6 Chartres street, has been given up
for their use, where they all now are. AT the
Democratic meeting last night, sixty dollars were
at once contributed by those present and placed in
the hands of John Claiborne, ESQ.,, to be paid ou,
for their subsistence during the week.


A resolution was also proposed. and unanimous.
ly adopted that meeting of the Democ ratio party
be held on Saturday evening next at ll6 Chartres
street, ard that the Democrats of the city general
ly be invited to be present, for the purpose Of ma.
king such arrangements rs may be necessary to
relieve those destitute men and enable the to re.
turn to their own country,


We hope there will be general attendance as
their situation calls loudly for the charity of the
community.-N o. Js6srsomian.


Spirited Eiopement.-A very handsome bride
and bridegroom left New York yesterday, who
were pointed to us the hero and heroine of the
following story. Ten days ago, small town in
Massachusetts, was quite alive with the prepara.
tions for coming marriage--the "weIl.off'' belle
OF the neighborhood to a wealthy gentleman from
a distance, much her senior. There we're rumors
that the lady's will had been over. ruled by paren.
tai suasion and authority, but rs she went about
to herlast maiden day making arrangements IS very
smilingly, no one felt much sy mpaihy in the So.
crfce. There was a 'wheel within a wheel >
however, which must be explained by taking the
reader at once into The lady's confidence. She
had formed IN acquaintance. during the summer,
with young gentleman from Southern city,
who, she thought, would have proposed to her bu,
from such obstacle rs distrust of his world y
means. Aweek before the wedding day she sud.
denly took courage, and determined at least to
give him chance before throwing herself away to
please her parents. She wrote TO him that il he
would beat a certain railway s,ation on certa il
day, she would meet and accompany him to
clergyman. and thence 10 the end of her Ii fe O
his. He was ,he's. She was there. They wen
on twenty miles by the train, and met the othe
bridegroom going the other way, with ssters, re
latives, trunks. and love tokens. A deep vail pro
,ected the fugitive. She and her lover reached
the city, were married. and went shopping an'
sightseeing like other people. The lady's forum,
Is IN her own right. moderate but suficient.--N
