CORNELIUS j. VANDERBILT, brother
Of William H. Vanderbilt, fatally shot him
self at the Glenham Hotel, New York City,
April I'd. From the time of the shooting
until his death Vanderbilt was unconscious.
Many friends of the dead man and members
of his family were present when he passed
away. The reason for the act given by his
friends is that it was the result. of mental
derangement brought on by years of suffer-
ing from epileptic fits. No, other cause
could be given, as his financial affairs are
said to be in most prosperous condition.

When the fire was discovered the male pa

as soon as the attendants left them to rescue
the invalids and females who were inside,
there was general stampede among them,
and they, too, rushed to the building. The
scene that followed beggars description.
The attendants were making every effort to
rescue the patients, and many of the latter
seemed determined to rush back In the
building. Every effort was made to group
the patients as they were brought out. and
several of the insane were rational enough to
tender assistance, but some of them were as
wild as beasts, and it was found necessary to
knock one or two of them down to keep
them back. One woman was especially des-
perate. So determined was she to get back
that she tore the dress from one OF the fe-
male attendants. Two men rushed back in
