AS soon as the action OF the Clearing
House Association became known on the
street there was perceptible feeling Of re-

most without exception. remained in their
offices TO await the outcome OF the meeting
OF bank presidents. The leading brokers
freely commended the resolution passed by
the bankers, and said that all they needed
was to have the banks stand firm and that
they would then pull through without fur
ther serious trouble. The crowds in the
street rapidly thinned out after 4 O'Clock,
and by $50 o'clock there were no external
traces Of excitement left in the vicinity OF

SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.
A Kentucky Judge in n Fit of Depression
Kills Himself.
fBy telegraph TO The Dispatch.I

fBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.I
Mt. STERLING. KY, May 15.-This COM
munitv was thrown into the widest cX-
citement about IL o'clock by the startling
announcement that Judge Reid had COM
mitted suiciue. Judge Reid was cowhlded
recently by Lawyer CorneisOn. For the
past few days his friends had noticed that
he was considerably depressed in spirits,
and commented upon 1t. But he had Just
returned from a canvass Of this tApplegate)
district, and had been in close consultation
with his friends rs TO the ACCESSIBILITY Of
stll remaining in the field, as he appeared
discouraged at the outlook. This morn
ing he was more cheerful and in better
spirits than he had been for some weeks,
and was hopeful Of the canvass, and had
made arrangements TO visit different pOr-
tons OF the county during the week. His
mental alteration must have come upon
him suddenly, doubtless superinduced by
q pain in his head, OF which he complained
to Judge Brock. 1t appears that he went
into Judge Breck's law-0tfice about half-past
10 this morning, and told him he would
like to 60 upstairs, as he was suffering
from severe headache. Judge Brock after
a lapse OF an hour went upstairs and was
Mortified to see Judge Reid stretched out
on the floor dying, his head lying in pool
OF blood and q pistol on the floor by his
side. The following note, written on the
back OF q businesS-card, was found: Mad,
mad Forgive me, dear wife. and love to
the boy" 1t is not signed, but is in the
handwriting OF Judge Reid. 1t is singu-
lar fact that no one heard the report OF the
pistol. The weapon used by Judge Reid
was one he kept at his house. but never car
ried. Itappeared to have been just loaded.
