TIRED OF LIFE.

DELIBERATE ATTEMPT OF A GUM DIGGER TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

Me Cuts His Throat and Stabs Himself iv Several Places.

The events of the past few days would almost appear to indicate the prevalence of a suicidal mania in Auckland. Within the compass of a week, we have been called upon to record two cases o£ self-des truction, the perpotrator in each instance being a well-known residont. It now de- . volves upon ustochronicleamost determined attempt to commit suicide, which happened at Mr Moselen's boarding - house, "> Hobson-straet.early this morning. William Cosan is the name of the would-be suicide, and he has been employed for some time as a guradigger. So determined was he to "shuffle off the mortal coil" that lie was not satisfied with cutting his throat, but h« also stabbed himself in various parts of the body. The cncum stances of the occurrence, so far as we have been able to gather them, are as follows :— Coean came down frem Aratapu last Tues day week, the 3rd inst., and havhig previously been stepping atMoselen's board ing-house, be put up there. He was evi dently suffering from the effects of continued excessive drinking, and his conduct lately has been rather eccentric. He attended one of the Salvationist services the other evening, and was very much impressed with what he had seen and heard. In fact, from what wo have hoard concerning his behaviour, we should suppose that he has been suffering from delirium tremens and lias also been labouring under religious excitement Various hallucinations took possession of his brain, and at times ho asserted that Men Wore Atte^ Hlm^and Trying to His lucid intervals were frequent and ex tended, and during these ho would talk sensibly and rationally on current topic?. Mr Moaeleu saw him in town yesterday aftornoon, and at that timo he appeared to be in a proper frame of mind. He re turned homo soon afterwards, and it was then evident that one of his attacks had returned. Mrs Moselen says ho began to talk nonsense, and as she was alono with the children, she became frightened. Cogan, howover, soon came round again, ana when the others returned home ho wai quite subdued. He took tea with the family, read the paper, and talked on a variety of subjects with those in the room. No reference was made to the sui cide* which had previously occurred, so fur as our information goes. He went upstairs to bed about half-past ten o'clock, having previously said " Good-night" tohis friond?. lie occupied a bed in a doublo room whore a carpenter named John Whelan also slept, TheMoselens' heard Cogan raving during tltt night, and fearing that he might possibly do some harm to himself, Mr Moselen want upstairs and took away the candle and mat:ho3. Cogan was very restless nil night, and soon after four o'clock this morning Mr Mose.en was about to rise and go up to him, when ho heard a noise aa of wator splashing en the floor. It occurred to him that Cogan was spilling water, and ho got out of bed ia order to sco what was the matter. Passing through the hall, he hoard his name called, and he hastened upstairs. When he reached the room, A Horrible Sight Presented MsoXf to His Oaae. Cogan sat on the side of the bed, with tt pocket-knifo in his hand. At his fec-t was a pool of blood, which accounted for tho splashing noise which Moselen had thought was caused by water being spilt. The unfortunate man's throat was gashed across, his body was bleeding in %V6T&\ places from stab wounds, and, in a wor4, tho spectacle was a most dreadful aoe. When Mr Moselen entered the (room, Cogan said " I have dono it now. Whelan, tho other occupant of the room, had been awakened, by Cogan's call for Moselen. Jie askod nim what was the matter, and tho desperato man who mist at that moment havo been engaged in the set of attempting truction, replied " Not much, 1' and Whelan proceeded at once for medical assistance, aud Mr Moselen, jun., remained with the Sniured man. During the interval that elapwd, Cogan fell off the bed on to his bands tfJid knees, and wan found in this position by Sergeant Donnelly, who arrived Wore 5 o'clock. Despite his injured condition, Cogan had continued to rave, and aajongst other remarks regretted that he had not stabbed himself deeper, or drowned himself. Dr. Hooper was soon in attendance, and having dressed the man's injuries, ordered his removal to the Hospital. He did not appear to con sider tba ga»h in tho throat so serious as several stabs in the lower part of the abdomen. On enquiry at the Hospital at three o'clock this afternoon, wo were informed that there was no change in Cotton's condition. Hopes are entertained that he will recover. Tho unfortunate man Is about 36 or 40 years of age, a carpenter by trade, and was formerly employed by Mr Connolly, contractor. He informed the Mogelens that he had once attempted to commit suicide; by jumping out of an hotel window while suffering from the effects of heavy drinking, but that Mr Lynch, the landlord of the hotel, had pre yen ted him.

Statement by Mr Moselen.

Ut Wm. Moselen informs us that Cogan, wfio bid been employed gum-digging at tthe WfttaW for over twelve months, re ■turned to toivn on Tuesday week past. As Mr Moaelen had been previously ac quainted with Cogan, he gavo him lodgings >at hia private residence, opposite the Governor Browne Hotel, Hobson-street. fiogan appeared thon to have been drinking hewrfly, and he stated that he had lost his money, about £15, and he then had only 15s in hoi possession. He njso said he would stay with Moselen for a few days, until he could write and get monoy from Waiim in order that he would be able topay tforhis passage back there. For the first three days of his residenoe hero ho drank moderately, and rinco then lie drank little or nothing, although he still suferedirom the of a debauch. Yesterday Cogan Ca?to tolk incoherently, but became more rational during the evening and read tho Evekjko Star. On one occasion he said,. "I wish that when I was on the wharf I had jumped overboard, rhAre is (somebody after me," He appeared Sbe wanXring in his mind at inJmals, MdhJSwtal w horror of the Salvation Army K9 was a Roman Catholic, but had t?tote Of" the Army meetings, ZThegofc an top***. <*f *£ Army wanted to make amy with him. #c went upstairs for the puroseof g°lnS tO -bed about half-past nine o'clock, and then BeVmed. to be better than üßuaf, and cheerful. At: five minutes past one, Mr Moselen heard Cogan nioVine about, and went to «cc him. Me lvna l! "'. sltfcin&° n Ms bed undressed, with !v candle 1 Sited He was looking' at a. wood cut in an illustrated paper, and pointing to the picture, said "fhto bjhp lot that; always -after me-the Salvation Army.' tfcXselen told him it was all nonsense, f o d recommended him to get into bed. Coimtaid, "Oh, it's no use ; they won't letßme alone." Eventually he agreed to get into bed, and Mr Moseten left him, The latter, however, remained in the kit. chen until two o'clock, but was not again dtturbed until twenty minutes before five when he heard Cogan W""^"^!^ Tnat as he Eot to the bottom ot tne srairs Coin called him by flame, Mr Moselen answered and immedUly ™t*°V* i l< ioJP' He found Cogan sitting on the bedside ' Oulte Nufle With His Taroat Cut. the seine. Dr. Hooper bound up the throat of the would-be scfoide, and then Redis covered that Cogan had several other wounds in the lower pert of fte«taM*. and the man admitted thati he.had stabbed himself several times, but had not suc ceeded in making tho wounds fatal, because ofthe knife bling blunt. Cogan w then dressed, and a cab.hav.ng been sent for, he was conveyed to the HospiSil.

TWO RUAKAKA SAILORS AT SEA IN AN OPEN BOAT.

Captain- Macdonalu, of.tho Result, which arrived lioro this morning, reports that when between Whangaroa and the Cavalli's ho picked up an open boat containing two men, who stated thnt they wished to be takon on board tho largor vessel and landed anywhere. The men were rather recicent, but it was learned that they belonged to tho scow Ruakaka, which they in Mongonui, bound for Sydnoy. Why they left her they did not state, but it is most likoly that the men becamo faint hearted in prospect of a rathor risky voyage to Sydney in a scow, and preferred to return to Auckland in the vessel's boat, of which no doubt they have taken possession with loavo. When picked up they had been at sea for over twenty four hours, and had neither food nor witer, so that thoir meeting with tho Rosult was a very lucky one, and no doubt saved their lives.

THE DYNAMITE SCARE.

Arrest In Shropshire.

London, April 25. Considerable excitemont has been caused in the district of Shifnal, Shropshire, owing to the discovery of a quantity of dynamite in a lodging-house kept by Mrs Lewis. A man having the appearance of a navy called , at Mrs Lewis's house and took lodgings for the night. Ho sat in the kitchen for some littlo timo, and when lie rose from his seat a fellow-lodger noticed a peculiar package close to where he had been sitting, which on examination was found to be labelled " dynamite." Mr Cock, lodging-house in spector, visited tho placo shortly after wards, and, the parcel being handed over to him, he at onco gave it to the police, and a local chemist pronounced it to be dynamite. Sergeant Meredith, accompanied by Con stable Evonson, then made a thorough search of the lodgihg-houßo. On the navvy, who gave the name of Sutton, they dis covered threo dynamite cartridges, much above the usual sizo. He was taken into custody, and conveyed to the station, where a closer search was made, and in a purse in one of the man's pockets were found five dynamite cartridges, eacii about an inch and a half long. The prisoner, who said he was a native of Stratfoidon Avon, asserted that he purchased tho cartridges at. Cardiff as a remedy for chapped hands. JIo was taken before tho magistrates and re manded. Strange Discovery at New York. A box, containing fuses, two pistols, and some cartridge cases filled with a greyish substance, together with some strange memoranda, has been found in a hotel in New York, where it has lain evor since the owner was removed ill from tha hotel to a hospital, where Jio committed suicide. This occurred some time ago. It is a ques tion whether the deceased belonged to the dynamite party.
