Suicide.

--Solomon Haunstein, sometimes called Joseph Holstead, more commonly known as "Swiss," who for 8 or 10 years past kept a bar-room on 17th street, in the former office of the Weigh Master of the 1st Market House, committed self-murder about 11 o'clock yesterday, by shooting himself through the left breast with a Colt's navy pistol. The deceased committed the deed at his residence, near the upper depot of the Central Railroad Company, and was induced thereto by depression of spirits. He had a disease of the throat, and remarked to some gentlemen, last Saturday evening, that he had as well kill himself as suffocate to death. He had been to California and accumulated some means, which he had increased by his business. His age was about 40 years. So far as known, he had no immediate relatives in this part of the country.
