walking home, deliberately drew a revolver.

wounds, and then deliberately placed the muz-
Zie OF the weapon to his left temple, pulled the
trigger, and fell a corpse. We learn by private
sources that the deceased was an elderly man.

posed that the deed was committed during a
temporary alteration of mind, and on no other
superstition can it be accounted for.

The tact that Bolton did not die for ten DAYS

the defense. Bolton, it will be remembered,
just before dying, bequeathed $4,000 to the

The NATIONAL HOTEL FIRE-It Is now
said that the fire at the National Hotel yester-
DAY was the work of an incendiary, as the room
IN which II originated was unoccupied and
closed, and in IL a ball, saturated with some in
nammable material, was discovered, which, il is
thought. had been thrown over the transom of
Inc coor; PROBABLY there was less excitement
among the guests of the hotel during the fire
than was ever known on q similar occasion, and
after the proprietors, Messrs. Tenney s. CO.,
with the clerks and other employees of the house
had visited the rooms and assured the guests IN at
theIe was no danger, all kept their apartments
until after the fire was subdued

great crowds in the city. The fire was unGues-

the damage is considerable, it is fortunate that
there are two dining-rooms other than the one

a very heavy outlay in repairing and refurnish-
II e the Hotel, it is much to be regretted that
