CITY AND COUNTRY
Things Briefly Told.

  Lewis C. Brastow, Jr., a student for the last three years in the 
University of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, committed suicide near 
Camden, N.J., on Tuesday, by shooting himself in the right temple with 
a pistol.  Deceased was the son of Lewis C. Brastow, Sr., master 
mechanic of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Railroad Company, and at one 
time master mechanic of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's shops in 
Altoona.  A note left by deceased states that too much application to 
study had impaired his mind.
