THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: OCTOBER 24, 1876.
INFATUATION.
DISCONSOLATE LOVER 8UOOTS HIM
SELF AT THE GRAVE OF IIIS AFFIAX-
I From tho Brooklyn Argus.]
The ength to which infatuation may
carry its victim, even after the death
of its object, had an extremely tragic
illustration in Greenwood Cemetery,
yesterday afternoon. A young man,
hitherto having the reDutation of be
ing cool and level-beaded, while
standing beside the lmlf-lillcd grave
of the young woman on whom he
had centered liifc affections, became
suddenly crazed, and with the excla
mation, “ My grave will not be far
from this!” deliberately drew a pistol
from his pocket, placed the muzzle on
his forehead and sent the fatal bullet
into his brain, dying from the effects
of the wound in less than an hour.
The infatuated and inconsolable
lover was Jacob Lamb, a German,
aged twenty-three years,
been for some time
ed in accordance with the fiicts. It
is the intention of the friends of the
deceased to have his last wish reals
ized by having his remains interred
to-morrow in a grave not far from
that of Miss Brocht, whom he loved
with such fatal distraction.
She Thought She Knew.
The passengers in the sleeping
coach were just dosing off when
some one howled out:
* Ow—wow—trow!’
1 Great dragons, there’s a young-
’un aboard!’ growled a fat man from
his upper berth. ‘ I’ll bet a hundred
dollars none of us can get a wink of
sleep to-night!’
* Wow—wow !’
•There he goes again!’ growled
the fat man. ‘ I never traveled but
that I ran across somebody’s off-
spring-’
‘ Who’s that talking?’ inquired the
mother of the child, in a loud voice.
‘ Ale!’ answered the fat man.—
who had j ‘ Why didn’t you leave that child at
employed in I home or stay their yourself?’

Christopher Weiss’ butcher establish*
incut, tit the corner of First avenue
and Forty-sixth street, New York.
The young man was, sober and indus
trious, and a great favorite with his
employer. About a year ago Lamb
became acquainted with Miss Jose
phine Brocht, the daughter of respecta
ble German parents, residing in Fifty
fourth street, between First and
* Are you talking to me ?’ deman
ded the woman.
‘Yes, iffa’am, I am ! I say its a
shame to bring a sick child into a
sleeping car to disturb twenty or
thirty people.’
‘ Are you a father ?’ she asked.
‘No, I hain’tl’
* Nor a mother?’
‘ No, I g-u-e-e-s-s not,’ said the fat
Second avenues. The friendship of | man, softening.
the young couple soon ripened into
a warm affection, and it was general
ly understood by their friends that
they were | engaged to (be married.
Miss Brocht’s parents, it seems, rais
ed serious objections to the action
Of .their daughter, and forbade her
to receive the visits of her lover.
The young lady, while willing to
second the wishes of her relatives,
felt painfully the enforced separation
from Lamb, and became very gloomy
and despondent. Iier health short
ly begau to fail, and a few weeks ago
serious symptoms set in. In spite of
the efforts of eminent physicians, she
continued to grow worse, and died
Hast Sunday morning. The death 1
of his affianced had a very depressing
effect on young Lamb,fund he told his
friends that he could not live much
longer, and that he would soon follow
Miss Brocht to the grave. No one,
however, supposed that his despon
dent language had a deep meaning,
or that his gloomy phophecy would
so shortly be realized. The funeral
of Miss Brocht was arranged for yes
terday afternoon, and saddest among
the numerous mourners who followed
the remains to Greenwood was Lamb,
who, it seems, bad in the morning
purchased a pistol, and loaded it with
powder and ball, placing the weapon
in his pocket. On the way to the
cemetery, he gave vent to frequent
expressions of the most intense grief,
occasionally bursting out in fits of
uncontrollable emotion. The other
occupauts of the carriage endeavored
to sooth him as best they could, and
on reaching the oemetery he seemed
to liavo recovered his coolness, and
witnessed the last services at the
grave without exhibiting any unusual
emotion. Ho lingeredjat the grave
with the little group of relatives and
attached frieuds, standing a few
yards apart from them. When the
earth had just hid from view the
ooffin, be gave a deep sigh, and ex*
claiming: “Mygrave will not bo
far from this!” and, drawing the pis
tol from his pocket, placed it to his
head and fired and fell back mortally
wounded to the mouth of the open
grave.
The bystanders were horror-strick
en at tho dreadful occurrence, and
tenderly picked up the unfortunate
“ man, who was unconscious and bleed
ing freely from the shocking wound
in°his forbad. The police of the
Eight Precinct were promptly jftotifi-
* ed and Capt. Mnckcllar was at the
spot in a few moments and had the
body placed in tho ambulance and
driven towards the Long Island
College Hospital. Death occurred,
however, before the ambulance reach
ed its destination, and the body was
takeir to the Morgue and Coroner
Simms notified. An inquest was
held to-day, and a verdict was return-
‘ Well, sir,’ she said, poking her
head out between the curtains, ‘when
you’ve been the mother of eleven
children, moved forty-eight times,
lived in nine different States, and
worn one corset right along for six
teen years, you’ll begin to think you
know your business, I think 1 know
ne; and if this baby wants to
howl, lie’s goin’ to howl, if I have to
come over there and kick a ton and a
half of conceit out of yon!’
No Longer in Town.
