Shocking Suicide of n Baltimore Pc
licemam.

In Baltimore on Saturday morning Robert
Rae, an officer of the southern district, commit
ted suicide under peculiarly shocking circum-
stances. AT about O'Clock he entered the
grocery and liquor store OF Charles F. Muller
corner OF Hause and Emory streets. He was APP
parently in good spirits, and cheerfully saluted
Mrs. Muller and her son, who we're in the store
After few minutes conversation he proceeded
to the yard, and after divesting himself in the
water-closet of portion of his clothing fired a
ball from his revolver into his forehead. The
ball striking the frontal bone, glanced off, and
did not enter the brain, when the desperate
man, determined on ending his existence, cut
MS throat from ear to ear with butcher knife
which he had taken from a meat block in the
store. After committing the deed ae stagger-
ed into the store covered with blood, and after
a lew convulslve gasps and struggles, expired.

prosecution for perjury. A few weeks since.

billy. He took the man whom he supposed to

ferred charges against him, and he was bound
over to await the action of the grand iury In
the meantime the friends OF the accused tried
to induce Rae TO withdraw the charge; they fol-

be punished for perjury, and at the hearing
before the committing magistrate they sgore
positively that it YVES another man who used the
billy. The grand jury found no indictment

rest of the officer. He was held to answer, but
the grand jury found no bill. The police de-
partment had entire confidence in Oficer Rae,

ance that he was not mistaken in the man whom
he charged with striking him, he was told to
continue on his beat as usual. The mortifca-
non suffered by the poor man completely broke

the mission of Mr.. Thomas has been the means
of educating the public in the highest Of must
cal art From first TO last there was interest
manifested by the audience, and the haI py
pleasing music OF the midsummer Nisht 2
DrtSn." and the intricate harmonies Of Ruben
STEMS "Der Grausame" were alike appreciated.
Mr.. Myron A. Whitney, whose artistic singing
has before been enjoyed here, sang well in the
aria from the Magic Flute" and responded to
an encore TO Handles ''R uddier than the Cher
~" in the ''Three Fishers, >" IN which ballad
the purity of his voice Is especially noticed. Mr.
Louis L1beck, who rendered a song for the VIC

itself should attract large audience. Mr..
