A SAD Death.
Details of the Suicide of Halsey L. Coop
The Inquest.

Detalis OF the suicide OF Halsey L. Cooper
The Inquest.
Halsey F. Cooper, until recently Deputy
Surveyor of the Port, committed suicide at
his residence, 1902 Vallejo street. about
noon yesterday, by taking a large dose of
carboilc acid. The act was TO his family
entirely unexpected and unaccountab!e.
Deceased apparently was OF a happy. cheer
ful disposition, and when his wife and
daughter left home for church. Yesterday
morning, he seemed in his usual frame of
mind. When they returned, about go
P. NJ. they found him lying on the sofa,
apparently asleep. Upon nearer approach
they saw he was dead.
Upon table beside the sofa was the fol-
lowing, written with lead pencil in plain
| hand:
SUNDAY, 70 o'clock NJ
To my Deor We and Darling Daughter: Just
how true, loving and faithful you both have
ever been 10 me the world viii never know.
The remembrance of your loving fdelities will
constitute my last conscious thought. To you
and the world have endeavored to appear
happy and cheerful but ] am weighed down
with a grief and agony untold and must seek
what rest there may be in mother earth Soften
ing of the brain, old age creeping on, and
pauperism, is more than l can endure. Your
lives, so useful and noble. should not be bur
| dened by one who devotedly loves you, but who
| has failed to provide. And now goodbye.
Deceased was a native of New York, 58
| years old. His wife, Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper.
is well known from her connection with
local religious and philanthropic work.
This forenoon an inquest was held by
! Coroner O'Donnell at the family residence,
| which was filled with the friends of Mrs.
| Cooper and the family The shock to Mrs.
| Cooper was so terrible, however, that only
| the most intimate friends could be ad-
mitted to see her. The circumstances OF
| the suicide, as they became known, iusti-
| fed the minds of all in the belief that the
verdict of impulsive insanity, which was
rendered by the jury, was in accordance
with the truth The sudden death of Mr..
| Cooper seemed TO be rendered still more
sad when ii became known that his great
| est financial difficulty was about TO be re-
moved at Christmas through the generous
action of friends. At that time the mort
gage of So, 800 on his house was to have
been paid, and his property was to be
given to him unincumbered This move
ment to pay the mortgage was originated
by Charles Lux, who subscribed $500, fol,
lowed by Charles Crocker with $500. The
names of the other subscribers are at pres.
ent unknown. but there are some fifteer
on the list. The anxiety arising from the
mortgage on his home, and the failure t
secure a position in the Custom house
which he felt sure of obtaining until b,
was assured to the contrary on Saturday
morning, led to the frame of mind which
caused Mr.. Cooper to take his life-[S. +

THE Dynamite conspiracy, 50 called,
in San Francisco, the other day, is Il
very attentuated specimen OF the
business introduced into the First
Empire OF France by Fouche. Bourri-
enne says that this great original oil
the modern detective was eternally at
work connecting artificial conspiracies
with view to impressing the First
Napoleon with high value OF his
services. 1t mattered very little to
Fouche, who betrayed his master with
the grace and readiness of an Italian
diplomatist of the kind dear to the
heart of Nicholas Machiavel, that a
number of poor devils were put to
great inconvenience by his subtle tao
ties. The fact that they were sent oil
to the galleys, or shot in the ditch oil
some prison, gave this astute detective
no trouble whatever. lie rather en-
joyed, with the genuine detectives
glee, the discontinue OF mankind.
We are inclined to think that Chief OF
Police. Crowley and Captain Lees
have been getting up similar
advertisement, with n view to
throwing sand in the eyes of the pub
lie and enhancing their own impor-
lance. OF course every one knows
the amusing game that O'Donnell has
been playing. The intelligent idea
in San Francisco is that he has been
engaged by colloguing set OF Re
publican politicians with view TO
disengaging enough Democrats at the
ensuing gubernatorial election to in
sure the triumph of the Republican
tickets, State and legislative. Ii
O'Donnell had been left alone this
game might have had some signifi-
canoe. But when it is sought to inter
polate the Russian Nihilistic features
in our local comedy the mark Is so
far overshot as to provoke laughter.
Ten pounds of dynamite and Il yard
or two of gas pipe will hardly serve
10 convulse community so expert
enced as that OF California. The
thing is too thin. Sold foil has never
been beaten out to such state OF at
tenuation as this roorback. 1t is
diaphanous. To vary the simile, it is
rank. II smells to heaven. That
item OF assassinating a lot OF hand

Walter Turnbull and VIM. 7, Cole
man, is too too-too. There is too
much OF the Poo Bah and Gen. Boum
about all this business for it to have
any serious effect There are men IN
that list marked for assassination who
were dead politically long ago. The
people really call for something more
energetic and fanciful in the line OF
invention than this two for a quarter

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, December H.
A fire broke out last night in Hubbard's
warehouses on the docksand spread to
Benedict's warehouse aud thence to the
Abel block, in which were located the
Herald newspaper and other Offices.
Hubbard's loss on the building and stock
was 81 80, 0OO insurance, 5000. Bene-
dict & Cos. loss on the warehouse, $751;
600. Loss on the Abel block, S25, $50;
partially insured. Hazen's loss, $780,
900; Kuentz Bros, $4,000 insurance,
$4,000. The Herald newspaper loss is

most disastrous Jacksonville ever knew.
The fire on Bay street was stopped at
Kohn, Furchgott & Benedicts store, on
the western limit, including Mcconnell
ly's hardware store. About 2 A. NJ. a
portion of the wall of the Abel block
fell, crushing four colored tiremen. one

The publication of the correspond
ence between Secretary Bayard and
the Austrian government shows CON
clusively that this peculiar and com
posite Empire refused 10 receive Mr..
Kelley as Minister of the United States
because his wife was Jewess. This
proves that the Austro-Hungarian
Empi, Q Is farther behind the demands
Of the age than Great Britain. Nearly
fifty years ago Great Britain admitted
the jew TO a seat in Parliament. Tie
Kelley correspondence shows that the
Democratic Secretary of State OF the
United States is fully responsive to
The situation. 1t also shows that the
Austrian Empire ought to be stricken
from the roll Of powers friendly
TO the United States, and which, con
sequently, are entitled to the priv
ileges of the most civilized nations in
their intercourse with this country.
The Austrian mission ought to be left
untitled until an elaborate and ample
apology has been made for such an
unexampled and inexcusable diplo-
matte outrage.

DUBLIN, December ia London
dispatch to the Irish Times says:
Should the Queens speech on the open.

move an amendment to the royal adj

then take office and introduce bill
granting home rule to ireland.
LoSDoN, December II, . p. M.-The

of Gladstone this morning, the Liberal
scheme for home rule for Ireland has
been decided upon. This scheme pro-
yides for the creation OF an Irish Parlia.

crown will reserve the right to veto.

minister, and take part IN the Imperial
legislation. The scheme further requires
Paruell to furnish guarantees that the
interests of landlords shall be protected.
LEEDS, December 1.-THE London
correspondent of the Mercury says; In
the event OF the passage OF the home
rule measure for Ireland, no Irish mem
Der of Parliament will be allowed to
take part in legislation respecting Eng
lish and Scotch affairs. Sir William
Vernon Harcourt and George Goschen
support the Gladstone Irish scheme.
LoNDoN, December 1.-THE CORE
spondent of the Eapress telegraphs as
follows: "There is no longer any doubt
that Gladstone has approached a mem

The opinions of various leaders have

PERHAPS one OF the most unfortu-
nate developments ever known in the
Democratic party is the fight which,
under the inspiration OF Col. Morrison,
is being made upon Samuel J. Ran
dali. This onslaught has features Of
special ferocity, and, from every point
OF view, it is indefensible. Its grand
fugleman is the Hon. Henry j. Wat
terson, the editor OF the Louisville
Cowier-JOuaal, a gentleman OF ex-
ceptional ability, OF great personal
worth, but of decidedly eccentric
traits. Mr.. Randall, very happily for
the Democratic party, defeated the
celebrated Morrison horizontal tariff
bill. II that measure had passed the
Forty-eighth Congress it would have

cost us each of those debatable north
ern States which, added TO the vote
Of the "solid South" made the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Cleveland possible. The
people OF the city OF New Y ork are free
trade in their preferences, but there
are enough manufacturing centers
in the interior Of New York TO make
the Empire State good for fifty thous-
and Republican majority on Morri-
son basis. Instead OF being thanked
for the services he rendered bis party
Mr.. Randall has been bounded from

signed the colonelcy of Philadelphia
regiment to accept an election to Con-
gress this great Pennsylvania has
been the ablest and the most trench
ant OF the men who have upheld gem
uine Democratic principles on the
floor of the House Of Representatives.
At a time when the Federal heel was
pressed heaviest upon the neck OF the
PROSTATE people OF the South Ran
dpll's voice was the loudest and most
eloquent in reminding the States oil
the North Of the true obligations OF
the Federal compact. 1t is some

opposition to this admirable and

come from Southern men. 1t
has not come from the South,
because amongst Southern men
he has his most enthusiastic
supporters. Watterson's invectives
were followed by an invitation to
Randall to deliver the address at the
Cotton Exposition at Atlanta. This
was quickly followed by the tender OF
a public reception at Watterson's own
home at Louisville, which was par
ticipated in by all that was most note
worthy and distinguished amongst
the Southern people. Nevertheless,
1t is strange that such wise and
statesmanlike man should, amongst
any portion Of the Democratic party,
be spoken OF save In terms OF well
| earned Difference. The present de-
bate upon the change OF the rules oil
