New YORK, May l2.-JameS W.
Raymond, middle-aged man, broken
with drinking and consumption, shot
himself dead in little room at No. SO
Market street this afternoon. The sui
eide was the son of c. Raymond, of
New Canaan, Conn. He came from
Savannah, Ca, few weeks ago after
having worn out the patience and
bounty Of friends in several por-
lions of the country. Raymond
was evidently a man of education
and geologist, for in his pocket was q
letter from the Columbia School OF
Mines, dated March both, offering sl5
for three specimens selected from a col
lection submitted. A pathetic letter
from his father, begging his son to avoid
his old companions, was found among
Raymond's effects, as was letter from
" Your Cousin Lou," dated in Savan-
nah, telling Of :" the prayers and best
wishes for the fallen one.
