THELATE mINOR.

A Friends Tribute to the DeceaEed : -The Probably True Solution of the k Cause of MT. Minors Death.
 New Haven gentleman, Mir. c. E. Gran
 his, writes from the Galt House, Louisville,
 Ky, under date of Sept. 18th regarding the
 late Mr. L. D. Minor of New York, formerly
 a well known gentleman of this city, as
 follows: q am just in receipt of a copy of
 the Sunday Register of the. 14th inst, and
 am very much shocked that paper of it's
 responsibility should publish such an article
 as that headed-''The Suicide Who Fled to
 Death to Escape Woman"-for the
 reason that there is not particle of truth in
 the assertion. I have known Mr. L, n.
 Minor intim ately over twelve years, in fact
 have been his confidential friend, and if
 there had been any thing of this kind in his
 mind, should have known it. Furthermore
 anyone who knows anything of Mr. Minors
 characteristics knows that no woman on
 earth, or anybody else could frighten him
 into suicide with demands for money. through fear of exposure" as the Register
 states was probably the case He was not that kind of a man. Any of his large circle of business or social friends can testify to his good moral character, genial disposition and steady habits. One or two papers have stated that the cause of suicide was f. naneial troubles. This is not so His busi- ness was in very prosperous
 condition, increasing yearly. He has told me repeatedly within the past two years that his affairs were in such shape that it was a pleasure to do business. MT Minor never carried weapons of any sort, not even when in former years he travelled west, and don't believe he ever had revolver in bis life until he obtained this one with which to end his career. last saw him on August 2, the day left New York on my business trip. We dined together and talked over flu ture business prospects. He was happy and full of bright anticipations have correspond ed with him since. The Last letter received was dated August 18th, which was month | to day before his body was found in the l United States Hstel, N. Y He wrote as l chesrfully as ever The account published | by the New York Times of the 14th inst. and | which enclose, is correct so far as I know In my opinion he committed the act while l temporarily insane The reason conclude l thus is because I believe insanity to be | hereditary in his family as his own mother Che I has stepmother1 suicided years ago by jump | ing into well, and he also had an aunt 1 who committed suicide.

Te Montreal and Baek-Pleasant Trip
 Of MT. and mrs. B. c. Lake.
 Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Lake recently returned from a vacation trip to Canada and back

 NEW YoRK, Sept. %. Prices to-day were worked up and down at the will of the bigger operators Taking the day through there was considerable disposition to put the steam on. Pretty much all the socalled active favorites were fired up in the direction of higher prices Especially warmed into activity were Della ware and Lackawanna, St. Paul, Western Union and Paeiac Mail. St Paul was bettered by the fact that the proceeds from it's new issue of bonds prac tically guarantee the payment of the 55 per cent. half yearly dividend declared yesterday, be it earned or not; Pacific Mail advanced because in- vestors regard it as good and solid property, sell ing below its intrinsic value and Western Union and Missouri Pacific were strong, partly because MT. Gould kept them and partly because each of these stocks sold dividend off to-day. There nothing in the way of news. The market is me- chanical as ever. Professional bulls work it up one day and professional bears work it down another, It is all machine business and consequently the market is utterly unworthy of serious considera tion.

 contain no mineral nor poisonous sub stance, and do not gripe unless the bowels are irritated, and even then their influence is healing. To continue their effect in constipated or chronic cases, they need only be taken in diminishing instead of increasing doses. For seamen, and in- habitants or travellers in sparsely settled hand, they are of inestimahle value. There is hardly a sickness they will not alleviate, and in most cases cure, if taken promptly. To young girls just entering upon womanhood, and to women whose period of maternity is drawing to close, Ayers Pills, in moderate doses, merely sufficient to ensure regular action of the bowels, will be found of
