CINCINNATI, July 10.-The painful dis

McGill, President of the Cincinnati and
Eastern Railroad, who came to his death
last week by falling from the door of a
baggage car to the bottom Of a trestle.
near Winchester, has been raising money
by fraudulent practices. This gives
color to the theory that his
death was suicide. He had
been in easy circumstances, but by con-
nection with the railroad had been much
embarrassed. A number of notes pur-
porting to have been given him on which
ne obtained money, have been discovered
not to be genuine. An investigation is
now in progress. 1t is thought that the
total amount will reach above $50, 900,

But the South Does Not Stand Up to

CHICAGO, July 10.-The friends of the
different candidates have been working
hard for their favorites all day. Bayard
is gaining strength, but many Southern
men who should support him are in some
way pledged to vote for Cleveland. If
Bayard is defeated it viii be their fault.
Bayards nomination would unite the
Democracy of New York and secure that
State. Cleveland's success will proba-
bly, lose it. The Randall men in the
Georgia delegation VIII Ivote for Cleveland.
Cleveland appears to be the strongest
man. Bayard, Mcdonald, and Thurman
follow in the order named. If Cleveland
is not nominated by the second ballot he
will probably not get the nomination. and
Bayard will be. 1t is, however. very
difficult to forecast the result.
