THE MELANCHOLY SUICIDE

THE INQUEST.

Wellington, June 29 The following additional particulars ii connection with the death of Mr J. T. Barnieoat have been obtained : Mr Joseph Mackay Principal of th< College, states that deceased had been ont of the masters ot the 1 ollege for five years and had been in the best of health and spirits until b'aturdry last, when he com plained oi being low-spirited, and said the boys under him were not getting on so well as he would wish Mr Mackay told him that no one thought so but himself, and that he (deceased) was working too hard Mr Mackay suggested that Mr Bamicoat should take a holiday, and he felt disposed to agree tr this, but subse quently said it would be better for him to give up teaching altogether, and take outdoor work. Deceased also complained

of sleeplessness, but ou Sunday night he passed a good uight, and < arly yesterday appeared to be in belt r spirits. How ever, last night he a.;ain became low spirited, and Dr (Jollies was called in, and, after a short consultiti 11. prescribed for him, and the medicine was adminis tered by Mr W. Percival Evans, another master, who was the last to speak to him. This morning, Mr Barnieoat was seen in bed ana appt ared 10 be s eep log peacefully, and Mr Mr-okay decided to allow him to remain in bod, and obtain the services of another gentleman to take his class. About S. 15 the masters and pupils were assembed for breakfast, when Mr Campbell visited deceased’s study, and was surprised to find him stretched on the fl jor in a pool of b’o.a Medical aid was sought atd arrived quickly. Mr Mackay is unable to attribute any reason for the act, unless it be that deceased’s mind had become unhinged by over-work. Deceased had of lata been reading very much, but It was not thought ha was studying for any examination. The following note, wri’ten in pencil, was found in Mr Barniooat’s bedroom : *'l am going to commit suicide; short anguish is better than prolonged suffering, for my friends shore are no other al erna tives —J, T. Barnicoat.” The note was not addressed.

Dr. Collins, who saw deceased last night, says he complained of b Tog un ■ able to properly pe-f->nn his dunes, and that for three inon ha ho feit ho had not been doiira justice to ins b ys. He thinks that the deed could not have been premedi ated, but that on a momentary impulse, and in a moment of madness, he committed the deed. The rifla used was deceased's own pro perty, and was usually kept in his study. Deceased was twenty-eight years of age, and the youngest sou of the Hon. Mr J. W. Barnicoat, of Nelson, who is noss£in Wellington, attending Parliament. *He was unmarried. He was a of Nelson. Deceased was _ a pro minent athlete. He was a mem ber of the Wellington and the College Football Clubs, the t tar Boating Club, and Secretary of the Wellington Cricketers' Association Mr Barnicost took a great interest in the welfare of the papila attending the College, with whom he was very popular. Deceased was highly esteemed in town, and his sad death cast a gloom over it At the inquest this afternoon no fresh facts were elicited, snti the j try re urned a verdict that “ Deceased commit-ed suicide while suffering from temporary insanity, induced by ovrrwirk."

Very little progress has been made with the Customs Bill In the Assembly, busi ness being impeded by the motions for adjournment on the proposition to gra»t Sir John Pobertson £IO,OOO for his long, distinguished, and patriotic services. Tho motion was variously received, although it was generally admitted that his services were entitled to recognition.

The polny of the banka in raising the* j rate of interest is generally regarded as likely to further cramp trade. A number of miners still continue leaving for Kimberley. Business of all kinds is very dull. Ministers have promised that a Bill, dealing with the rabbit nuisance will be Introduced next session. Beisbane, June 24. Captain Cross, of the Undine, emphatl cally denies the statement made by the French press at Noumea that there has been any formal annexation or occupation in the New Hebrides. It has been ascertained that the Anti podes Islands are seventy-five miles further to the eastward than laid down on the chart.

SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS FUTURE DEMOCRACY.

Quite a sensation has been excited In political and clerical circles by the publica tion of a pamphlet written by the Arch bishop of Bordeaux, and entitled “ The Social and Religious Future of Demo cracy.” It is an eloquent exposition and earnest defence of deemocratic principles. Democracy the prelate declares to be an irresistible movement which nothing can arrest. It will leave no room for des potisms, and, in ihe near future, govern ment for the people by the people will be the universal rule. He pronounces the political tendencies of modern society to be Providential, and prophesies that In a few years democratic principles will have made the tour of the world, and will raise its down trodden races to the level of their already enfranchised brethren. Monsignor Gilbert recognises democracy as the twin sister of Christianity, whose virtues it must practise in order that its ascendancy may be beneficent and dnrable.

St. Mary-Strect, Peterborough, November 29th, 1881. gir It gives me great pleasure to inform you of the benefit I have received from Seigel’s Syrup. I have been troubled for years with dyspepsia ; but after a few doses of the Syrup’, I found relief, and after taking two bottles of it I feci quite cured. I am, Sir, yours truly, Mr A. J. White. William Brent. September Bth, 1883.



Dear Sir, —I tind tbc sale of Seigel’s Syrup steadily increasing. All who have tried it sneak very highly of its medicinal virtues ; one customer describes it as a “ Godsend to dysp'. ptic people.” I always recommend it with confidence.



Faithlully yours, (Signed) Vincent A. Wills. Chemist-dentist, Merthyr Tydvil, To Mr A. J. White.



Seigel’s Operating Pills are the best family physic that has ever been discovered. They cleanse the bowels from all irritating sub stances, and leave them in a healthy condition. They cure costiveness. Spanish Town, Jamaica, West Indies October 24, 1882.



Dear Sir, —I write to inform yon that I have derived great benefit from “ Seigel” Syrup.” For some years I have suffered from liver complaiut, with its many and varied concomitant evils, so that my life was a perpetual misery. Twelve months ago I was induced to try Seigel’s Syrup, and although rather sceptical, having tried so many reputed infallible remedies, I determined to give it at least a fair trial. In two or three days I felt considerably better, and now at the end of twelve months (having continued taking it) I am glad to say that I am a ! different being altogether. It is said of certain pens that they “ come as a boon and I Messing to men ” and I have no reason to doubt the truthfulness of the statement, a can truly say, however, that Seigel’s byrup has come as a “ boon and blessing ” to me. I have recommended it to several fellow sufferers from this distressing complaint, and their testimony is quite in accordance with my own. Gratitude for the benefit I have derived from this excellent preparation, prompts me to furnish you with this un solicited testimonial.



I am, dear Sir, Youra ever gratefully, (Signed) Carey B. Berry, A. J. White, Esq. Baptist Missionary. Preston, September 21st, 1883. My Dear Sir, —Your Syrup and Pills are still very popular with my customers, many saying they are the best family medicines possible. The other day a customer came for two bottles of Syrup and said “ Mother Seigel ” had saved the life of his wife, and he added, one of these bottles I am sending fifteen miles away to a friend who is very ill, I | have much faith in it.” The sale keeps up wonderfully, in fact, one would fancy almost that the people were beginning to breakfast, dine, and sup on Mother Seigel’s Syrup, the demand is so constant and the satisfaction so great. I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, ■ (Signed) W. Bowker. To &, J. White, Esq.
