The enactment by Congress OF Mr.. En-
NvNDs's bill to regulate the election u
President and Vice President ~ the United
states. which las already passed the SEN

The bill proceeds on the principle which

The former bill created an Electoral Com

the Constitution cxaets directly OF the two

SUICIDE.
A Lunatio Shoemaker Ends His Woes.

A shoemaker named George Miller,
residing at 81 Linden street, placed a
pistol in his mouth and fred a shot
through the top Of his head. causing
instant death. The man was old
enough to know better, having a mar
ried daughter and another we'll grown
child; beside his wife, who was their
mother. 1t was jealousy of the latter
which is said to have caused the horrid
deed. though the man has long been
regarded as one who was more than
half cracked. He used to manage a
shoeshop down on Monroe street,
below Second, and his neighbors
considered him bordering on the
lunatic order. Miller and wife had
been getting on rather poorly for some
time past, owing to the fact that she
had gone to nurse a yellow fever
patient on Monroe street. 1t seems
that no open remonstrance was made
to Mrs. Miller concerning her course.
but the mans mind had been greatly
worried for several days about the
matter. He on one occasion sent
word to his wife that her daughter
was very i'll. Upon reaching the home
Of her child she found her in perfect
health. Last evening, as Mrs. Miller
was about to leave her home to attend
the sick bedside OF her yellow fever
patient her husband asked her to
remain, saying her other patient was
not as sick as himself. Mrs. M.
.carelessly said he was all right and the
other person was not and she went out
thinking nothing of the circumstance
except that it was one of her hus-
bands eccentricities. She had bare
ly closed the gate of her yard and
stepped out on the street ere the pistol
fred, aud upon returning quickly
within she was greatly shocked to find
her husband lying stretched full
length on the floor and dead, from
the effects Of a bullet fred by his own
hand. The noise of the shot and the
cries of Mrs. Miller drew a crowd of
the neighbors. An inquest was held
and a verdict rendered in accordance
with the facts. The deceased was a
member of the order Of Odd Fellows
and his remains were decently in
tered by his brethren this forenoon.
The married daughters husband is
one Of the BARRIERS at the Peabody
Hotel shaving saloon.
Mr.. George Miller was born in
Bavaria, Germany, in 1898, came to
this country when eighteen years old,
lived in New York, New Orleans and
Natchez, working at his trade in each
place, and settled in this city in 1854.
Some two years ago his health failed
since which time he has been unable
to do any work of consequence. He
leaves a wife and three children, the
two eldest being grown and one is
about to become a mother. The
youngest is a lad of fourteen, and was
In the house at the time Of the TRACE
dy. Mr.. Miller was regarded as a
worthy citizen previous to the time
his mind became impaired. He was
