Shot Himself While Asleep.

The Lockport IN. " Journal says:
Marvin N. West, about % years of
age, who for some time past has had
charge of the American Hotel barns,
accidentally, and, it is feared, fatally
shot himself this morning at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Luther j. West. Between
Z and s o'clock Mrs. West was startled
at hearing some person grooming, as if
in great agony. The sound proceeded
from the bedroom occupied by Mr..
West, and was accompanied by a
humping on the wall. She fastened
to his room and there found him in
mortal agony, and pressing his side
with both hands. He said that he had
been shot, but he knew not how. By
his side was a Sharpe's Householder re-
volver, which he was accustomed to
place under his pillow before retiring
for the night. He asked that a physician
be Immediately called. Drs. Kittenger
and Evans were summoned. They
made an examination of tho wound and
found that the ball had entered his
vitals neal the pit of his stomach, and
inflicted a dangerous wound. 1t was
evident from the nature of the wound
that the muzzle of the weapon had been
placed near to the body, as the flesh was
scorched and somewhat mutilated.
They, at last accounts, had not sue
ceeded in finding the ball, Mr.. VESTS
able to speak, and from his statement
it would seem that he shot himself
while dreaming, as he awoke and found
himself in the condition. abovesa s1
scribed. He retired to bed about IL
O'Clock last night and slept well. He
states that of late he~has several times
dreamed that he was warning with
burglars, although he does not remem-
Der of having so dreamed last night.
From the fact that no other cause can
consistently be assigned for the COM
INITIAL of the act, the general SUPPOSE
ton among his friends is that he, in
sleep, took the weapon from under
Meath his pillow. and, during his moves
ments, the weapon accidentally dis
charged itself.

The chapel known as st. Peters
ad Vincula within the precincts of the
Tower of London is now being restored.
In this chapel the State prisoners who
died in the Tower or were beheaded on
the adjoining hill were generally in.
TERED, but as they were buried in plain
deal collins without plates, it is some
what difficult to identify the remains.
Fortunately, however, the present Sec
retarv % the British Office of Works
has given much study to the Tower
records, and has been able to identify
some of the dead, whose names are of
great historic interest. Lying far down
the nave was a coffin containing the
bones of q woman about 65 years of age,
which are probably the remains Of Mar
garet Pole, Countess of Salisbury, be-
headed by order of HenryjVIII. in 1541.
| Near the altar in a common elm-tree
chest, made to put arrows in, were the
remains of another woman, young and
d~elicately made, which are without
doubt those of Anne Boleyn; and not
far from her were all that is left of
Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, the
father of Lady Jane Grey. The chapel

The Louisiana Commission.

From the New York Herald
We do not change our opinion
that the idea of this commission is
at best harmless whimsey. I'm
der 10 circumstances could it do
any go.,d, but its negative COM
position encourages the belief that
it can do no harm. The really
controlling consideration in rela-
ton to Louisiana is the loss of the
army appropriation bill, which ne
cessitates an extra session of Con-
gress. Ii the President should
recognize Packard the call of the
extra session will be in vain. In
the new Congress the Democrats
will still control the House, and if
anything may be deemed certain
respecting its action at the extra
session it is certain that the army
bill cannot pass if the President
recognizes Packard. No intelli-
gent man in Louisiana or out of
Louisiana believes that the Pack
ard Government could stand dav
without the support of Federal
troops The certainty that the
President will have no troops to
nse for that purpose or any pur-
poses if he recognizes Packard
decides the Louisiana question in
advance. Whatever the Louisiana
commission nay do or fail to do,
it is certain that Nichols will
maintain his position as Governor
OF the State, be cause it is certain
that Congress will not give the
President any troops to GUST him.
The force of circumstances and
logic of events will compel the
President either to recognize
Nichols or submit to humilia-
ton; and it is incredible that he
will pursue course which will
deprive him of an army for any
purpose.
Vithon, an army the President
is powerless TO maintain Packard
IN his seat, and that the Demo-
cratic majority in Congress
will refuse appropriations for the
army if it is to be nsed against
them in Louisiana there is, as we
said before, of course, scarcely any
doubt. Without money there can
be no army large enough to spare
troops for duty in the Pelican
State, and without troops Pack
ards authority as Governor is at
m end. With these facts before
rs it is difficult to see what real
good the new commission can ac-
complish. If they decide for
Packard and Congress refuses to
appropriate money for the army,
Packard will be turned out by
Nichols. If the commissioners
decide for Nichols there will be
NO need for troops, and Congress
viii not care to cripple the army.
Therefore, Congress holds the
vsntage ground.
