ENDING THEIR OWN LIVES.

COLONEL /. V. b. HOWELL SHOOTS HIMSELF IN HIS
RooM--A PHYSICIAN SWALLOWS LAUDANUM IN A
JERSEY CITY HOTEL
p A domestic in the employ of George Inness, of Nc.
so West kleventh.st. went into the room occupied
by Louis V. b. Howell at p. m, Sunday, and
seeing him lying the bed, did not disturb him.
but told Mrs Inness that he had not yet left the
room. Toward evening Mr.. Inncss went to the
room to inquire if Howell i'll, and was startled
to see a large Colts revolver firmly cutched in his
right hand. The body was cold, and there was
bullet hole over his right eye. Evidently he had
been dead for some time though a pipe which he
had been smoking was still in his mouth. MIR.
Inness last night told TRIBUNE reporter the par
tculars of the case. He said:
@Coloncl Howell has been friend of mine for
several years. He formerly possessed considerable
fortune, bat went 10 California seven years ago.
and engaged in mining speculations and lost most
of his property. Three months ago he came from
San Francisco on visit TO my house. Alter staying
several weeks he intimated his desire to hire
room in the house, where he could sleep when he
chose; but he procured his meals at a restaurant.
He had never paid any rent for his room; but know
ing that he WAS proud sensitive man. did not
wish to suggest such thing lest be shouid feel hurt
and 90 away Last week be had been away for two
or three days. lie came Tome at ii O'Clock on
Saturday and went at once to his room AZ he did
not mineie with the family since his visit was
Cluded. be was not missed until the servant went
TO arrange tho rooms the next morning. She found
the door unlocked. but did not see the revolver and
Thought that he was sleeping. The revolver was
one that he had carried during the rebellion, when
he was the colonel of. q vol unteer regiment, and
since the war he has carried il with him TO Cali
fornia. He evidently knew where the ball would
have the greatest effect, for lying on bis back he
had held the muzzle OF the revolver close TO ms
forehead and fired. This also prevented the family
from hearing the noise OF tho discharge. though a
servant now says that she did hear pistol fired at
moor on Saturday but thought il was a toy pistol
with which some of the street boys were playing
IL is probable that Mr. Howell had 70 his room

10 end his life do not think 1t was premeditated.

gent man. born in Newark and educated in this
city. For several years he has been civil engi-

 The members assembled at City Hall yes | terday morning at nine o'clock, where they l formed in line under the direction of Chief Hendrick, acting as chief marshal, and 8 \ half hour later took up the line
 of march, passing through Church, Temple,
 and Chapel streets to Wooster Square, head ! cd by the American band playing ssAuld
 Lang Syne." Ex-Chief Engineer and presi-
 dent of the association Hiram Camp marched

 The party proceeded down Chapel street and across Quinnipiac bridge, thence through
 East Haven to the Forbes House, where they were cordially greeted by the ever gen ial Landlord Buell..
 On their arrival the veterans were invited to partake of fine fish chowder, which had been specially prepared for their benefit All who partook pronounced it first-class in every particular. During this part of the gastro homie exercise there was a general hand shake among old comrades. many of whom had not met since the last reunion over one year ago, and some had not met for years
 The. American band was stationed under
 the awning in front of the hotel, and under
 the direction of Leader Streit played sslec- uonS that pleased the veterans, they being
 principally ''old fashioned" tunes which they
 took particular pains to select.

 under a large canvas in front of the hotel it
 was served. The members formed in line
 and to the music of the band marched to the
 places assigned them. Governor BiRelow

From the National JOurnal of Educn-
 1ion Boston, Mass.

A movement in the right direction has been inaugurated by Dr. Virgil W. Blanchard, who has been contributor of several valua- bIe papers to the Boston Medical and Sus;gtcdl Journal, and now is engaged in the advance ment of the Food Cure system, designed to supplant the use of drugs in the treatment of all debiIitated conditions. The system is a series of concentrated liquids, manufactured principally from the wheat kernel, concen- trated and artifcially digested by processes well known to science. We have not space to go at length into the common sense theo- ries, but have pleasure in saying that the evi- dences of the value of these foods are con- elusive. Our we'll known Rev. Dr. Austin Phelps, of Andover, endorses the life food highly; Prof. John Clark, of Oberlin, has received great benefit; numberless physi- clans from all parts of the country, as well as hosts of private individuals, testify to the curative effects of the Blanchard Food Mir Chas.
