On the night of the 3d inst., upward of

the report that I "nut uu liv H ail, uuo ol
Tionesla's young men had shot himself.
For a short time there was doub' as to
whether the shooting was accidental or
Intentional, but it quickly developed
that it was with suieidal intent. The
boy's mother, by the first husband, is
now Mrs. II. M. Zahniser, and the fam
ily occupy rooms in the second story of
tho Tartridgo building. Charlio cam'
homo at dinner time and after eating a
little left the table, and went into his bed
room, his mother remarking as he did so,
"Charlio you haveut finished your din
ner?" to which he answered that be would
bo back. The husband leaving the table
had just gotten b the bottom of the stairs,
when the report of a revolver was heard
and tho mother rushed into the son's
room to find him lying 011 bis hack un
conscious Horror stricken the mother
and husband gave the alarm and friend
and neighbors came in. Drs. Bovard
himI Bowman were summoned, but at
oime pronounced the young man's case
hopolcss, and in less than an hour he was
dead.
A 38-calibre now revolver was lying on
the floor with one chamber empty This
told tho story. Tho bullet, which was
found on the floor, had entered tho body
about an inch boluw tho nipple or the
lull breast and passed entirely through
the body, death occurring from internal
hemorrhage. On a table or stand Lear
tho head of the bed a note in Charlie's
hand-writing was found. It was written
Willi lead pencil on a sheet of pencil tab
let. The note was addressed to Rev.
llu..H, and clearly indicated the unfortu
nate bny's dosig. to take his own lite,
giving as a reason his broken down men
tal condition from overstudy, t1 e pain
aud agony of which were too great for
him to bear. On the reverse sido of the
shoot were a few lines addressed to his
mother, asking ber not to mourn for him
and requesting to be buried in Tionesta.
Evidently the note had been written
some time previous, possibly at school,
and reads as follows:
"Rev. Bu.za, please read this when I
am di a l. Filming that I was broken
down mentally by study and toil, study
ing that which would cultivate my mem
ory. I did it before I knew it. Today I
Uiougut I would try nuain, but the pa'in,
the agony. Put this over my colliu:
'Sweet day so bright,
When hope tilled my heart with joy ;
Tho only hope now lei't me is
That I may liye above.'
'He who has most or heart
Knows most of sorrow.'
'Mother, do not mourn. 1 think it is
well with ine. Bury me at Tionesta."
Tho revolver with which Me rash act
was performed was purchased by the
young man at Robinson's store while oi
his way home from school, not an hour
previous. But a few moments before he
had been in Haslet & Son's slore, just
acrass tho street from his home, and pur
chased some candy. Not tho least indi
cat.on was noticeable in his demeanor,
oitlier here or elsewhore, that ho harbored
thoughts of taking his own ll'e. It was
known, however, some mouths ago that
Charlio was studying too hard, and for a
time ho had given up school.
Charles Clinton DeWalt was 1!) years
cf age last November. He was a model
young man in every respect, diligent in
all thai he undertook, gentlemanly in his
deportment, and without any evil habits.
Ho was a member of tho M. E. church,
attending punctually all tho religious ser
vices of the church. The unfortunate
tragedy has cast a iilonm over the com
munity, and (loop sympathy is expressed
