Passenger Drowns Himself,

An unknown man, a passenger on the steamer City of Milwaukee, committed suicide by jumping overboard when the steamer was in sight of St' Joseph, Mich. The man was shabbily, dressed and he had bought transportation for Detroit in Chicago. He is said to have intimated that he would not live to see St. Joseph. The steamer was stopped and boats lowered, but the suicide did not come to the surface. The life savers noticed the stopping of the steamer, and thinking something was wrong' with the boat, the tug Andy was sent out to meet her.
