SELF MURDER.
Statistics of Suicides In the United State
\ During the Past Summer.

Statistics of Suicides In the United States
\ During the Past Summer.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The Tribune will saw
tomorrow: The suicide tables of the Insur-
ance Chronicle, which give 1888 as the number
of suicides III the United States during the
Summer months, is somewhat less than for the
corresponding period last year, although sui
cides were much more frequent during the
Spring of 1884 than during any other Spring
covered by these statistics. For the six months
ending with August 806 suicides have occurred
in the United States. The usual annual aver
age is about 100, or about SO per million of
population. So far in the current month in
stances of self-murder have been extraor-
dinarily numerous. Indeed, suicide has been
almos epidemic. The greater number of sui
cides during the summer at any single age
was twenty-three at the age of 50. Next
came fourteen at the age of 46 and ten at the
age Of 30. The youngest suicide was Is years
of age, and the Oldest SO. Distributed bv
principal causes, 70 were traced to insanity, 81
to family troubles a to sickness, SO to bust
ness trouble, 20 to love trouble, and IS to dissi
patton. Distributed by condition, 129 were
husbands, 80 wives, 81 bachelors, SO maids, 81
widowers, widows and divorced persons
Distributed by means employed ITO shot
themselves, 76 swallowed poison, 81 hanged
themselves, 80 cut their threats, 81 chose
drowning, and the remainder preferred other
methods. Distributed by nationality, 1872
were Americans, Sc Germans, IL Irish, II Eng.
lish and the remainder divided among four
teen other nationalities. Distributed BY prin-
cipal occupations were farmers II, merchants
II, laborers 10, conrtesantsland SO on through a
long list. OF the whole number 2S4 were
males and W temales-about the usual rate of
three males to one female. Distributed by
States, suicides were most numerous in Hi
ness, in New York next, in Indiana next, and
Ohio and Pennsylvania tie for the fourth place,
with 20 each. Daylight was chosen BY 267
and the night by ia. Suicides seem to be
more common as rule during the last half OF
the month than during the first half. Nine
suicides of the 1888 were connected with muir
der or other crimes.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 26-With reference
to the rumor of a revolt against Parnen in
county Mayo, Ireland as indicated lin a spec
ial cable despatch dated September %, Patrick
Egan, president of the Irish National League
of America declared that "Parnell desires the
present representatives in parliament from
county Mayo (John O'Connor Power and Rev.
Isaac Nelson) to again contest their seats at
the next general election but disaffected
leaguers objected to Parnell's dictation and
proposed Captain Boycott and John William
Nally for parliament" The truth of the mat
ter is, said Eagan "John O'Connor Power is q
despicable traitor to the national cause, and
Nelson was requested by the supporters of
Parnell to resign his seat for the reason that
he failed to discharge his duty to the party.
Neither Of the pair are approved of by Parnell
but on the contrary their withdrawal from
Irish politics is desired and their defeat at the
next election is d certainty. To talk of the
popularity of Boycott, who supplied in his
name an addition to The dictionary of omin-

The Rockingham House at Portsmouth,
y. H., Destroyed by Fire = Loss over
100000.
PORTSMOUTH, n. H., Sept. 27.-At O'Clock
this morning fire broke out near the boiler in
the Rockingham House, and spreading ran
swiftly up the elevator in the centre of the
building. The fire department was called out,
but the flames made rapid Roadway through
the building, fortunately leaving the stairways
intact. The guests being quickly aroused most
OF them dressed and found time to save all
their valuables, but some few lost considerable
Jewelry and loss of three hundred dollars in
money is reported. All the guests escaped by
the stairways. A large amount of the most
valuable furniture was saved, but much was
destroyed. The fire was confined to the main
building, but only the walls are left standing.
The fire didn't reach the billiard room and
wings. The origin is unknown, probably
accidental. Sailors from the United States
steamship Vandalia rendered valuable assis-
lance. The Rockingham is brick hotel, the
finest in the city, and was erected By Wood
bury Lanedon in 1880 and rebuilt by Frank
jones in 1870. 1t is now owned by sister of
Mr.. Jones, Mrs. Sinclair. 1t has been noted
as one of the finest hotels in New England.
During the past year nearly $35, 900 was ex-
pended in Improvements and ornaments The
loss is estimated at from $4,000 to $40 ,000
The amount of insurance cannot be learned
the owner refusing to make any statement
until the actual loss is ascertained, but it is
reported that there is insurance in various
companies amounting to about $75, 900. Mr..
Jones is in New York. It is said the hotel
will be rebuilt at ones.

A Mystery of the Seas.
How Capt. EairfieId's Sister Got His Pic
ture Years After He was Drowned.

cortland Correspondence of the Boston Globe.)
"There is picture in the possession of Mr..
George B. CARL of Ken nebunkport that has a
strange history" said an ex-newspaper man
recently. "Looking at it closely you see that
it is very rough and creased, the effect of salt
water. 1t fine picture simply regarding it
as work OF art. The name Of the painter is
not known"
''What is the strange story connected with
it?'
"Some fifty years ago there was no better
man in command of Maine ship than Capt.
Fairfield. He was every inch a sailor, not one
OF thhe kind we sometimes see now, but man
who knew no other business. Frank, manly,
and upright, he had won the confidence and
respectSof all.
''He was greatly attached to his sister, the
wife of Mr.. Tobias Lord, and when ashore
made her frequent visits 1t is matter of
tradition that he promised when he left home
for the last time to have his portrait painted
for her. As the old song goes, he sailed away
on the fatal sea- and months passed before he
was heard from. The news came that his ship
went down in the Indian ocean, and that all
on board were lost.
"Again months passed by and the second
year after his death had come and gone when
Swedish bark sailed into Portland. Soon
after, Mr.. Lord, the brother-in-lsw of the dead
captain, was sent for, and on reaching Port
land was invited on BOARD the Swedish vessel.
On entering the cabin he started back with
surprise, for he found himself face to face
with fine life-size portrait of Captain Fair
field. 1t seemed to him that the captain had
arisen from his grave in the ocean to meet
him.
"There was one very peculiar thing about
the painting. The captain was represented as
holding in his hand folded letter with the
address,
