A Lover’s Suicide. AN ITALIAN MUSICIAN SHOOTS HIMSELF THROUGH DREAD OF SCANDAL—A WASHINGTON SQUAB! ROMANCE. New York Timet, Aug. 28. Mrs. Ellon Parson, a lady keeping a board- ing-honse at No. 42 South Washington square, rushed into the Fifteenth Precinct Station- house yesterday about 12:30 o’clock and in formed Sergt Murray, who was on duty, that one of her boarders bad shot himself and was lying dead in his bed. Mrs. Parsons was so excited that no detailed statement could be obtained from her, and Capt Byrne directed Sergts. Murray and Young to proceed to the house and make an investigation, at the same time notifying the Coroner's office of the case. Coroner Young at once proceeded to Mrs. Parsons' and as sumed charge of the case. Sergts. Murray and Young had already begun their investiga tion. On entering the hall bedroom, on the fourth or upper floor of the house, they found the suicide's body on the bed, a Smith & Wesson pistol tightly clenched in his right hand, and two letters and a photograph of a j’onng lady closely hold in his left. The body was much discolored, and from a shot- wound iu the head, which had evidently pen etrated the brain, a mass of half congealed blood had worked its way to the floor, where it formed in a large pool. The man’s name was Luigi Tito Kocco, aud the photograph was one of Miss Mary L. Parsons, aged sixteen, and daughter of the land lady. Rocco, who was thirty-five years of age, was born in Naples, Italy, and was a harpist of no mean ability. He come to this city two years ago, from Vera Cruz, Mexico, and bad been engaged by Theodore Thomas, the Parepa Opera Troupe, and was at the time of his death under engagement to the Slrakosch Opera Troupe. His harps, worth $1,800, were in liis room, and Sergt. Murray found $76 in his trunk, and a bank-book, showing that he had between $500 and $600 in the Sixpenny Savings Bank. The only clue to the cause of hi9 suicide was the tone of the two letters found in his hand. These letters were written in Italian. One was ad dressed to Mr. Francisco Schleiss, and the other was a general declaration regarding himself. The following is a translation of both letters: Adieu, dear Ciccio. In a great hurry, as my moments are fatal . I leave you my watch and chain, and what remains of my wardrobe, which you can sell at your conve nience. Know that your Tito, your friend from infancy, swears to you at the moment he is about to leave this world and go to the presence of the Supreme Judge, that he dies guiltless of all that the world can say of him. I leave this world through the fault of my in tended (della mia amorosa), Maria L. Par sons, having surprised her at Long Branch with her brother, and in company ol thieves, (di Ladroni.) She was thunderstruck, and they sought to assassinate me. I harried im mediately to New York, aud now I leave that world for her fault, to say aud to swear that, her family sought my ruin. I swear it! I swear it!! I swear it!!! God help me 1 Your Tito . To Mr. Francis Schleiss, care of Mr. Vunni, No. 120 Third avenue, N. Y. P. S.—SLould you write to my family, say that I am traveling. Also, receive any letters from my sister Louisa (which will arrive about the end of September) at the post-office. Again, adieu. A last tear and a last embrace from your friend, Tito . Monday Night—11 o’clock. I swear before my God, who will shortly be my true judge, I surprised tbe young girl, Maria L. Parsons, in Long Branch, with her eldest brother, w hen in company with thieves, (fit Ladroni.) on Saturday, the 23d. I waited lor her at the Clarendon Hotel, she being my impended, (dellt mio amoroso,) with a basket of flowers, and in the book of the hotel I signed my name L. T. Kocco. When she saw me she was surprised and astonished, and in vited me to go with them to the races, and I refused, as the proprietor of the hotel is a witness, who saw and heard my relusal, be cause I thought my life was in danger. I im mediately departed for New York, saying I was sick. She returned to New York on Sun day, and on Monday 1 saw her. She seeks my ruin, for tear I will say something. This that I write is the truth. I cannot lie, as I wonlLgo to eternal punishment ii I live. I swear, I swear. L. T. Kocco. In reference to these extraordinary letters, Mr. Solon Parsons, the elder brother referred to, made the following statement: About six months ago Kocco came to our place to board. I am a wholesale flour merchaut, and iny other brother is employed in a Broadway house. During the time Kocco boarded in my house be came Lome drunk on two occa sions, and afterward apologized for doing so. Neither myself or mother tboaght he was paying any attention to my sister Mary, or we would not have permitted it for a mo ment, as she is but a mere girl, having just left school. Two weeks ago, accompa nied by two gentlemen engaged in busi ness here, I went to Long Branch to look after a billiard saloon and restaurant there, iu which I am interested. On Wednesday we were joined by my younger brother and my sister Mary, who was complaining oi ill- health. Thinking that a trip to Philadel phia might make her feel better, I took her there, returning to the Branch on Siturday. When we came to the Clarendon we found Kocco there. He greeted us warmly, and gave Mary a beautiful and expensive basket of flowers. We invited him to accompany us to ibe races, but he declined, saying that he was sick and sleepy from having been playing several nights at concerts, and wanted to sleep. When we returned from the races the c lerk told us that Signor Rocco had returned to New York, and sent a thousand apologies but that he was ill and had to go away. We returned to the city the same night. On Monday evening, Iiocco called mother aride in the parlor, aud asked her permission to marry Mary. She at once refused, saying Mary was too young to marry. Kocco then a.sked mother to drink some wine with him. She refused, saying she never drank wine. Then Rocco begged her to remain in the par lor, and again urged his suit, but without .suc cess. He then said he felt ill, and wanted Mary to go with him to a drag store. Mother would not allow her to go. Kocco went, and returned carrying a bottle of citrate of mag nesia in his hand. Some of the folks who were sitting on the stoop began to joke with him about carrying his bottle with him. He replied pleasantly and passed up stairs. That was tbe last we saw of him alive. To-day, Laving knocked repeatedly at his door and not receiving an answer, we broke it open and found him dead. Mrs. Parsons and her daughter Mary made similar statements, Miss Parsons saying that Kocco had obtained her picture without her permission. Rocco was supposed to be a man of quick, excitable temperament. It is believed that on his suit being rejected be went to his room, wrote the letters—for writing material was found on the table—then undressed, got into bed, and blew his brains out His loom was neatly furnished, and bis books and harps showed evidences of a cultivated and refined taste. In appearance Rocco was of considerable manly beauty, wearing a heavy mustache and goatee. A Times reporter made a search for Mr. Schleiss, who is a violinist, but could not find him. He learned, however, that Rocco never let any of his friends know where be resided, saying always that he boarded in Hoboken. In all probability further facts will be d eveloped at the inquest, which will be held on Friday. Condensed Railroad Time Table, Giving the arrival and departure of all Trains, rented by R. D.

Three years since, it is asserted on the best German authority, incredible os it may seem, there were not 150 persona who could read decently in the whole country, and hi ly any who could write. It was also said that few of the parish priests knew anything but tbeir books of prayers, and that only by rote. The fir»t steps toward education were pro moted by Russia, which gave in 1869 a liberal sum toward maintaining a seminary for Greek priests, the Empress having at the* same time endowed a school for the better class of girls ut the capital. The Hospodar has of late been exerting himself to found a system o f parish schools, and thirty of these are already established, in which 2,000 children are re ceiving instruction.
