DEATH OF A. n. POTTER.

Our people were profound y shock
ed yesterday, at the news OF be death
Of A. X. potter by his own hand,
after having slain his vile, or the
woman fron whom ne had been di-
vorced. The tragedy oce.irred at tbe
Nucleus lodging house, in san Frau
cisco at about O'Clock yesterday
morning. Mr.. Potter was resi-
dent OF Gold dill IN this county. aud
served term in the State Lcgisia
ture. lie was man of Intelligence
and integrity. About SIX months
ago his wife was divorced from nm,
and removed to San Francisco. A
few weeks ago he followed her. The
woman was extravagant and heart
ess, but potter's iufatuat!on for her
overlooked her infidelities. In San
Francisco they renewed their mar
tial relations, without repeating the
usual formalitieS OF marriage. This
must have been the case, AS they
were found dead and dying in the
same bed In tit of jealousiy or
he had shot the woman
with whom he could neither live
nor live without, and then with the
same weapon taken his own life.
Potter was a temperate and industri-
Gus mau; but his wife could not
content herself with his modest in
come, and they separated. Dis
followed both, and they
died together, possibly with mutual
consent. There is lesson in all this.
Let the wise profit by it, Enter
prise.

ST. LOUIS TO HAVE THE
LARGEST HOTEL.

News from st. Louis is that some
Boston capitalists are going to build
q hotel in that great central city
of the Mississippi Valley, twelve
stories high, and with two thousand
rooms. st. Louis has already
erected the largest Merchants Ex-
change building in America; and
the jocular "Globe-Democrat" in
its levity suggests as the best loca-
ton for the hotel, the east side of
Fourth street, immediately in front
of the monster Exchange, saying,
"It could start with o big kitchen
in the rear already built and fres-
coed" At the time the Lindell
Honse of st. Louis was erected
In 1861 that was the largest hotel
in the world. But when it was
burned, the new Lindell was not
CONSTRUCTED on SO large scale; and
though 1t is an elegant building, and
the most fashionable caravsnsary of
the Mound City at present, II the
Boston capitalists do overshsdow 1t
as proposed, its projectors will re-
gret that they did not amplify in
stead of contract its dimensions when
rebuilding it.-CaH.
