October 7, 1899.]
At the Shanghai Mixed Court the other day a farmer was sentenced to 200 blows and seven days' cangue for bringing five pheasants into the Settlement for the purpose of selling them contrary to Municipal Regulations.
The Iohang correspondent of the N. C. Daily News writes:-A captain to command one of the steamers for the Iohang-Chungking run is here just now. He leaves for the west at an early date to examine the river,
As the steamer Calypso was approaching Tanjong Pagar Wharf yesterday morning, says the Singapore Free Press of the 25th Septem- ber, a determined suicide took place of a Ger. man named Edwin Scheuerle. He had been, since January this year. in the employ of Messrs. Max. Cylinder and Co., Change Alley, having been previously in the Paris house. Enquiries into the books, while Sobeuerle was away in Penang and Deli, led to the issue of a warrant, on a charge of falsification of Bocounts, and two detectives were awaiting him on the wharf.' These he got sight of and immediately went to his cabin and took his revolver. Going amidship he jumped over the rail, and, holding himself by the right hand, with the left blew out his brains. The body fell overboard and the revolver on to the deck. The body was not recovered.
