LOVE AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
A wealthy Young italian Officer Shoots
Himself in New York.


Gianini Bettini, % years old. a native
OF Verona, and Lieutenant in the Third
Savoy cavalry, shot himself last night in
tltty-seYenth street, Just west of Cor
nellus Nanderbilt's mansion, with a self
cooking Claudin revolver, bought in
Paris, which he discharged twice at his
left breast, holding the weapon to his
shirt. A-friend who was with him, and
who concealed his identity, procured
a coach and took him to St.
Luke Hospital, where he was
attended by Drs. Hunter and
Deyelin. At midnight he was easy,
ana although it was evident that there
was internal hemorrhage. his wounds are
not necessarily fatal. Bettini, who, though
tall, elegant and handsome, has a bovish
appearance, is travelling for pleasure, and
II is said that he belongs to a rich and
noble family. He arrived in New York on
April IL, and went to the Windsor Hotel
lie had been at the Hygienic Hotel at
Fortress Monroe, and there made the ac
qualntance of Mrs. Josephine NJ. Aver,
widow OF James c. Aver, a patent medi-
cine maker, who lives at No. ) West
9th street. Bettini became enamored
of her daughter and visited the family
when they returned TO New York. Last
nght he made call on them, and on
leaving the house shot himself. Neither

would see any one in regard to the affair
last night. They excused themselves bv
saying that all the information they felt
called upon to give had been given to the
police. Sergeant Rooney of the 10Th pre-
cinct saw the wounded man, who said
that he wanted to die and intended to kill
himself. He was elegantly dressed and
wore light overcOat, and had a valuable
watch and diamond jewelry. In his pocket

lice refused to open. One was marked in
French, This is my last will;" another
was addressed to Mr.. NJ. G. Cassali, edi-
tor of the Eco d'Itdlidn, and the third to
Leonello Bettini. officer of cavalry, Can
arsa Palace, Verona. At the Windsor
Hotel nothing was known of the young
man, except that he was gentleman and
paid his bills. The gentleman who was
with Bettini when he shot himself lives
in Brooklyn, and he was understood to
say that the motive for the suicide was
the rejection of his suit by Miss Aver.

The Collector at Newport News Has to
Call for More Gaugers.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 16.-COllec-
tor of Customs Clay, of Newport News,
Va, reported to the Treasury Department
that the export of bonded whisky from
Newport News is increasing to such an
extent that additional help was absolutely
necessary. He said that five thousand
barrels Of whisky were now at that port
awaiting shipment, and he was informed
that certain exporters, for whom Y. 0.
BOrd, of New York, is acting as agent,
expect to ship whisky to Bermuda at the
rate of from 5000 to 10000 barrels
monthly. The first shipment will
probably be made in week or
two. A vessel which has been engaged for
the trade is expected to reach
Newport News in a few days. Under the
regulations Of the department, whisky
must be gagged either alongside or on
board the vessel in which it Is to be ship
ped. Mr.. Clay said that his present force
could only gauge about sixty or seventy
barrels daily, and could not begin work
until the exporting vessel arrived.
Acting Secretary French has informed
him that force of gaugers from Rich
mOnd would be sent to his assistance
temporarily.

gen. Newton Elected President of the

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The business
Of the government departments was
practically suspended. it being the first
day of the reunion of the Society of the
Army of the Potomac. and the day chosen
for the public parade, About 700 men,
bers were present in the procession,
escorted by number of regular army
and militia commands, and the posts of
the Grand Army Of the Republic. The
day could not have been more favorable,
and the streets were thrOnged with
spectators. The route of the procession
was not long, and after passing
in review before President Arthur the
parade was dismissed, and the members
OF the various corps and regimental sOcie-
ties held business meeting. Tonight a
meeting of the Society OF the Army of the
Potomac was held in the National Thea
ire. The speech Of welcome was made by
District Commissioner Edmonds. George
Alfred Townsend read a poem, and Major
Maginnis, Congressional Delegate from
Montana, delivered the formal Grafton.
Gen. John Newton was elected President
OF the society over Gen. Grant, who was
his only opponent. Tomorrow the vete-
rams will go on an excursion down the
river, and at night grand banquet will
be given them.

BIaine's Popularity Increasing.

Washington Correspondence Chicago Tribune.
One of the first questions asked by those
politically curious who come to Washing
ton is, what is Blaine doing? AS the eX-
Premier drives about the streets of Wash
ingtOn, placid and uncOncerned, one
can readily believe that he is not doing
anything but what he says he is
alOOf from politics. There are
many who think that President Ar
thur and Mr.. Blaine have a very definite
understanding, and that possibly they
may yet unite in some political cOmbina-
ton. Certain it is that the paths of
Arthur and COnkling seem daily to di-
verge more widely. An old friend of
Grant and COnkling, just arrived from
New York, says that COnkling's recent
speech has created the greatest dissatis-
faction among his political and business
friends, who pronounce it piece of folly
second only to his resignation from the
Senate, A Republican oficehOlder from the
South, one Of the principal managers
there, speaking of the growing feeling of
admiration for Blaine. and the strength
of that gentleman in the South, says: II
find remarkable Blaine sentiment grow
ing in the Southern States, particularly
during the past ten months. Blaine has
hitherto been comparatively weak in the
OOulls anu OEdIJ has always DeeQ Dy tar
the strongest. The natural hatred of New
England men in the South has initiated
against Blaine. His action while Speaker
of the Forty-third Congress in as
sisting the conservative Republi-
cans and Democrats to defeat the
force bill also operated to his disadvan-
tage among Southern Republicans. While
he was Secretary of State under Garfield,
however, he made many warm friends in
the South, and he has steadily grown in
favorable estimation there since. His
connection with the business enterprises
in the South has brought him in personal
contact with Southern men, and he has
won their friendship by his tact and
ability. Southern Democrats as a rule
admire him. | do not think there is anv
particular boom for him as a Presidential
candidate, but he is undoubtedly growing
stronger with the Southern people"

PHILADELPHIA, PA, May 16.-In the
Court of Common Pleas to-day the jury
in the case of Mark Spicker against the
Pennsylvania Railway gave Il verdict in
favor of the plaintiff for $1,000. Spicker,
who is travelling salesman, took passage
in 1881 from this city for WilliamspOrt
and presented to the conductor the return
slip Of an excursion ticket from Williams
port to Philadelphia. The conductor re-
fused to accept the ticket and elected
Spicker in an open strip of country
on the Northern Central Railway, above
Harrisburg, in the midst of drenching
rain. The company claimed in defense
that the ticket presented had been pur-
chased two years before, and that the
company had endeavOred to call in such
tickets by extensive advertising. The
Judge charged the jury that election
under the circumstances was an outrage,
and that the question of the liability of
the company was the only one for their
pOnCidpratipu
