Suicide.
 A poor German woman, whose husband recently died in New York, and who
has been an inmate of Mr. Schultz's house for some time, was found dead 
in Gen. Pargoud's plantation on Friday of last week, having been gone three
days.  The day she left she procured five grains of morphine, and near
her remains was found a razor and on her left wrist two or three cuts,
one reaching the artery.  She had previously attempted to drown herself
in the river, but was prevented.  These circumstances influenced a jury
of inquest to return a verdict of suicide.  Deceased's name was Glinda
Koltzau.
