GRIMES AND ACCIDENTS GENERALLY.

BALTIMORE, MD., December 5.-John W.
Dorsey, a young man boarding with John
NJ. Wilhelm, 156 West Biddle street, shot
himself through the head at 11:3O O'Clock
yesterday. The cause was an unhappy love
affair. Dorsey left the house about l0:3O A.
N. and came back about II 80, retiring i'm
mediately to his room. A few moments
later he rang his bell and soon afterward a
pistol shot resounded through the house.
Mrs. NJ. Tubman, lady occupying room
Just above that of Dorsey, ran down stairs,
and opening the door saw the young man
lying upon the bed with large new revol-
yer in the right hand and two ghastly
Holes In His Skull,
one Just over the right ear, where the ball
entered, and one in the center OF his fore
head, where it came out. The pistol was
streaked and smeared with blood.
Upon the bed in front of the young man
lay the photograph of his sweetheart, Miss
Venie Taylor and number OF presents he
had received from her and which she
brought to him recently from Europe.
There was also a note addressed to the
lady who sis daughter OF r. q. Taylor,
well known halter of this city. The mis-.
sive was at once forwarded to Miss Taylor
and, with her mother, she was at the bed
side of her lover. Dorsey was for few
moments after firing the fatal shot con-
scious, but sank into a stupor, from which

Senator Vest.

WASHINGTON, December 5.-Senator Vest
has taken house for the season on Capitol
Hill where he will be with his family.
Ex-senator Spencer seems TO have the gift
of the hero of Iolanthe-he can make him
sell invisible in twinkling. His wife is
very pretty woman, with romantic his
tory. She is the niece of Gen. Loring, OF
Egyptian fame in the khedlye ismail $
times, and was named, curiously, after her
uncle, Major Loring Nunes. Her father
was Cuban of large fortune, which he lost.
Then the daughter went upon the stage,
and did rather well. In Washington she
met Mr.. Spencer, then in the United States
Senate, and, after a short engagement, they
were married. For a winter or two she
figured considerably in the society oil
Washington. If Mr.. Spencer will only re-
turn 10 Washington he can be fitted out with
another character just as good as new. 1t
is proposed to change the name OF Washing
ton TO WhitewashingtOn, on account OF Its
facilities in that line.

Gently employed in the office of the District
Visitor and Home Monitor, of this city,
was removed to the County Infrmary on
Thur day OF last week, and died in that
institution at clock z. NJ. on the Sunday
following.
When the Charity Board and physician
visited the infirmary they found, upon ex-
animation, that the head OF the deceased
was badly bruised and that one or two cuts
had been inflicted on the forehead. The
walls of his room being bloody, the conclu-
sion of all was that the man died from the
effects OF butting his head against the wall.
While the immediate cause of his death
was excessive use OF intoxiCantS, there was

WASHINGTON, December 5.-AttoGney
General Brewster has communicated to
Congress his views upon the inadequaoy OF
the compensation to United States wit
nasses in the western States and Terri sories.
He believes the present law causes many
suits in behalf OF the Government TO fail
because of the i'll will of witnesses, aud re-
commends the enactment OF a law proFld-
inp that vitnesceg-and Jurors in California,
Oregon, Nevada, Colorado and the, Terri
tories be paid their actual expenses while

GOVERNOR HALE's CAMPAIGN.
what 10 Costs 20 Purchase the Govern.
orship Of New Hampshfre.

CONCORD, n. H., December Sit will
probably never be known to the public
generally how much it cost Mr.. Hale to Sc
cure his election as governor of this State.
That he expended more money for that OBJ.
ject than any other man syer did or ever
will is proposition that no one is likely to
dispute. And yet but a small portion Of
the entire amount expended in combating
the sufrageof the l2,0 900 (Republican Off
cial estimate) corruptible voters of New
Hampshire at the recent election came
from the pockets of the Cheshire county
speculator. AT an average OF S25 each land
$50, was oQmmon price in many places it
must have taken 100000 to have'secured
these votes. The purchasable voters OF this
State, the men who sell their votes to the
highest bidder or the only bidder, as the
case may Be, are not all, or any great ma
jority OF them, in fact, are men OF at least
average intelligence. Some of them have
held important public positions. 1t is, in
deed, fact of current notoriety that man
who has served in the State Legislature and
held the Office of Register OF Deeds, this
year sold his vote to the Republicans for
800 in money and new suit of clothes.

LONDON, December 5.-A home rule dem.

Among those present were O'Donnell and
Kenny, members of Parliament. A reso-
luton was passed condemning the Govern
ment for its determination to prosecute
Davitt and Healy, and complimenting
these same patriots on their refusal to en-
ter into terms for bail. Kenny, in an ad.
dress, declared that if the'Government i'm
prisOned Davitt and Healy it must face
the task of arrcsting the whole Irish Par
liamentary party.
A dispatch from Dublin says: The pro-
eeedingS against Davitt, Healy and Quinn,
have been adjourned ten days to enable
the defendants to meet the charges entered
against them.
Seventy-two soldiers left Cunagh camp
for Galway in connection with the eXecu-

TIE UTAH COMMISSION.
What shOald BE Done with the Latter
Day Saints.

WASHINGTON, December 5.-The Utah
Commission in report to the Secretary OF
the Interior recommend that marriage law
be enacted by Congress which would form
an auxiliary in the suppression of polyga-
my. The Commission say that owing to the
peculiar state of affairs in Utah, allowing
women the right of suffrage is an obstruc-
tion to a speedy solution of the vexed
question and should be repealed or annuned
by Congress.
The commission notices as an encourag-
ing sign that many of the liberal meetings
have been largely attended by Mormons,
and that these meetings have been charac-
terized by exceptionable good order and
good humor. In conclusion the report says:
After ceunseling moderation, if, however,
the next session of the legislative assem-
bly, elected under the act of Congress shall
fail to respond to the will of the nation,
Congress should have no hesitation in using
extraordinary means to compel the people
of this territory to obey the laws of the
land.
