Attempted Suicide or Geo. Ducker.

The following account of Mr. Geo.Duckers suicide is taken from ihe ColumbiaState. Mr. C. F. A. Bultman returned t0

Sumter yesterday morning, leaving Mr.Ducker in a condition that gave hope forhis recovery. He was telegraphed for last

night, Mr. Ducker growing worse, and re¬

turned to Columbia this morning :

Up to 4 o'clock this afternoon no informa¬tion had been rtceived from Mr. Bultman as

to the condition of Mr. Ducker.fFrom the State, November 21 J

One of the most deliberate attempts at self-destruction that has occurred in Columbia foryears, was made by a young man aboutthirty years of age, in his room at the HotelJerome yesterday morning.The young man js George Ducker, a

Charlestonian. He came here previous to theFair, remained through it, and returning to

the hotel on the 15th, h:ts been there ever

since. He was a man of means, and a very-quiet, gentlemanly and apparently happy-man.Monday morning, at 7 o'clock, a pis'ol shot

rang through the hotel. A lady in the next

room to Mr. Ducker's, beard groans (nut not

the shot,) and rang the bell. A porter cameand finding it impossible to get into MrDucker's door, the lock having the key io it

on the inside, he lifted out the transom andwent in.The bed prevented him from seeing Mr.

Ducker. Once in, he found the unfortunateman in a pool of blood, with blood still gush¬ing from the wounds in his forehead. He was

still lying on his back on a pallet consistingof á comfort neatly folded and a pillow. Bybis left hand lay a hand-mirror and near hisright was a 32-calibre pistol.The porter frightened by.the horrible sight,

rushed down stairs A gentleman, learningof some trouble, went to Mr. Ducker's room

and found him still alive. Dr. A. N. Talleywas summoned and in twenty-five minuteswas by his side. He found that the bullethad entered the right temple, glanced aroundfoe eye-socket, severing the optic nerve, andpassing through the ball of the left eye burieditself in the wall. The man was found to bein a very critical condition. The physiciaodressed the wound and bound up the poorwilow's head, he all the time asking them tolet bim die.He8eemed to be conscious, and muttered a

good deal, but it was unintelligible. He was

lot removed from the pallet where be hadexpected to end bis life until in the afternoon.Last night his condition was about the

tame as an hour after the shooting. Hopesivere entertained of his final recovery. Evenf he should recovei, however, the sight of)Otb eyes is totally destroyed.From all appearances the attempt was

nost deliberate. The young man had spentSunday afternoon -on the canal, apparentlytee from care. At eight he remained in thelotel lobby until ll o'clock writing andbatting pleasantly with friends.When his room was entered, a dress suit,

t full outfit of underclothing and otherhings were found on a chair. To these werelin..ed the following, written in a clear firmtard :

"Gentlemen : Dress me in what you find on

bis chair. Do what is right and al! will beveil. Yours very truly,

"GEORGE DUCKER ."On the table were letters addressed to

arioos parties, and this :"NOTICE."

"Teleeraph to C. G. Ducker, East Baytreet Charleston ; also to J. H. Ducker,58 Kiog street ; also to C. F. A. BultmaD,Sumter. Tell Mr. Bultman to come on firstrain. Deliver letters to parties when theyrrive. Yours very truly,

"GEORGE DUCKER."On the edge of this was written : "Yon

rill find pocketbook in my trunk containing»165 instead of $190." There were lettersddressed to Mr. J. H. Ducker, Charleston ;Ir C. G. Ducker, Charleston, and to C. F.L Bultman, Sumter.The letter addressed to the latter was ob-

ained upon'the arrival of that gentleman."Dear sir aud kind friend: When you

ead this I will have passed away out of thisrorld. Allow me to thank you aud yourrift/for the many kindnesses you have cott¬

ered on me during my stay in- Sumter, andhope that both of you will enj-»y life thealance of your days in this world. Kindégards to all, and good luck to your sonlucius and his prospective wife. Trulyours,

"GEO. DUCKER."There was also a letter to Mr. Fagan, theroprietor of the hotel, in which he said :

"I have nothing on this earth to live forny longer. My mistake was made threeears ago wheu I sold my interest in or.e ofhe fiuest businesses now and at that timeD the city of Sumter. I have no family andio one dependent upon me for a living."A letter to another gentleman io the hotel,

sked him to see that the instructions for theimposition of his body be carried out in full.The instructions as to telegraphing were

trictly carried out, and the poor fellow'sdatives and friends are now with him.He tried tc secure poison at one of the drug

tores in ihe afternoon but it was refused him.

[Columbia Cor. News and Courier.JThe" most pathetic of all the correspondence

s contaiued in th- following letter, which Mr.3. G. Ducker presented to-night to Tbe Newsind Courier :

"COLUMBIA, November-,1891-"Dear«Brotber : You will not see me again

dive. Do not let thi3 worry you. I owe

lotbing to anyone io this world and hope allny friends and acquaintances may prosperted do well. I havt-¡ wri'ten to Brother Johnind you will see from that what my desires in.egard to what I leave are."Dear brother, if Mr. Bultman comes over

rom Sumter you and he will decide as tovhere I »ra to be buried. I prefer Sumter,providing Mr. Bultman can obtain a placehere for roe. All this, however. I leave to

rou, Johii and Bultmnn. Whatever you doam su"e will be satisfactory to John. If

rou come to Columbia you will find Dr.Saker a very pleasant gentleman, and I am

iure he «ill assist you and give all informa-ioo regarding roy action. After you readhe letter to Fagan Bros. you will know whyconcluded to end my life."Let all be forgotten, and don't think of it

my more. I leave in my trunk $185 or

?190, for which Fagan Bros. will account foro you. Good-bye to all of you, with hopesrou will see that every thing is done right.

I am your brother, GEO. DOCKER.

Yesterday afternoon about 5:30 Mr.Seorge Ducker whose premeditated attemptit suicide has been fully detailed, took a

urn for the worse after being considered in anmproved condition. At the hour mentionedie was taken with severe convulsions and DrTalley was hastily summoned. He has little¡ope of recovery now. The poor fellow intis agony tried so hard to tear the woundon his bead that it was found necessary to>!ace bim in a straight jacket. He was lastlight in the care of a trained nurse and beg¬ged hisattendants to give him something to:iil him. State. Nov. 25th

Carrying of Passengers Resumed.

About two weeks ago the Board olTrade met and appointed a committeeto confer with the management of thcCoast Line in reference to the mattelof carrying passengers On the freighttrains between Sumter and Florencewhich had been discontinued by theroad and was working to the disad¬vantage of our merchants as well as tcthe convenience of passengers. Thefollowing letter explains itself and ourcit}' is to be congratulated on itsBoard of trade and their efficient com¬mittee:

WILMINGTON, X. C., Nov. 23,1891.Mr. Abe Rettenberg, Sumter, S. C.,DEAR SIR: Your communication of

the 13th inst to Mr. T. M. Emerson,Traffic Manager, in regard to carryingpassengers on local freight trains wasreferred to me. I regret very muchthat my absence has prevented an ear¬lier reply to your letter. .

The handling of passengers on localfreight trains was so unsatisfactoryboth to the public and ourselves thatwe felt obliged to discontinue it be¬tween Sumter and Florence, particu¬larly as we believed that we hadsufficient passenger trains or. that partof the road to properly and conven¬iently handle the travel. Yon, ofcourse, understand that it is impossi¬ble for us to give the same accommo¬dations on freight trains that we doon passenger trains. Many passen¬gers, however, cannot be convinced ofthis fact, and in consequence thereofwe were flooded with trival and un¬reasonable complaints in regard to theaccommodations on our freight trains.

I am glad to say that in deference tothe wishes of the Chamber of Com-merco of Sumter and the request ofother committies, we will resume

carrying passengers on local freighttrains between Sumter and Florencecommencing on next Monday, the30th inst., and we trust the travellingpublic generally will appreciate thefact that we are doing the very bestwe can to accommodate them onfreight trains, and will cheerfully putup with the inconveniences necessarilyincident to that mode of travel.
