ENDS- LIFE WITH RAZOR Patient at Cincinnati Hospital Cuts His Throat and Dies Instantly. SEVERS HIS JUGULAR VEIN Victim Gives Way to Worry and Ends Ills JMIiterable Exist . ence In Blelo-Draniat-lc Maimer. Cincinnati, May 27. With his mind deranged from worry, but acute with the determination to end his existence, John Melllnger, formerly a wealthy farmer near Springfield, O., slashed his throat with a razor In Bethesda hos pital yesterday, and died In his chair at the breakfast table, where an at tendant had left htm half an hour before. Melllnger died within a few minutes after he had opened the right Jugular vein. Officials of the Institution called up Coroner Weaver at 9 o'clock and at the same time notified the members of the dead man's family of his death. A brother arrived on an afternoon train and gave hla statement to the coroner. The body was prepared for shipment home and will be taken there on a train this morning. While little of the history of the busi ness reverses that unsettled Mr. Mel llnger's mind are known In this city, It' Is understood he was one of the wealthtea farmers near Springfield. A month ago his relatives decided his mind was In such condition that special medical treatment would be necessary, and he was sent to Bethesda hospital, this city. All such dangerous articles as raz ors are taken from patients when they enter the Institution," and the officials there are unable to discover where Melllnger obtained the weapon with which he ended his life. Melllnger had not suffered from de pression since Thursday last, and he conversed with the attendant in a Ughthearted, jovial manner when his breakfast was brought to him. When the body was discovered a por tion of the food that had been served htm was clutched in his hand. The razor was found on the floor beside him and the untasted portions of his meal lay undisturbed on the table. left San Jose yesterday, and it was expected to ship from five to ten more this week, but the storm of yesterday caused such loss that not more than two cars will go forward now. Much of the loss of the cherry crop will fall upon the packers, as most of the grow ers sell their crops in trees. In the Willow district the loss to the cherry crop is the largest, and in several or chards the ground Is covered with red and black fruit In one orchard it Is estimated that five tons of cherries are on the ground. The Black Tar tarlans suffered the heaviest, as they are just In the ripening stage. Con siderable of cherries left In trees are so bruised as to render them unfit for Shipment. Peaches and apricots were damaged to some extent In one orchard near Campbell eight fruit trees were blown down and scores of trees are down in other orchards along the roads. Many growers believe the destruction of the prune crop may work to an ad vantage to the orchardists.
