ltOhhUkltATED.
PORTLAND, Maine, June 23, 1885,
The last three days have been full OF ex-
citement and interest to members of
the Grand Army of the Republic on
their way to and reception at this beau.
tiful city. We left Wilmington last
Sunday morning on the new and pretty
steamboat Brandywine, and on our ar
rivl at Philadelphia, were greeted by
the Pennsylvania comrades, and board
ed the Washington and New York ex-
press at l D. M, where we shook hands
with Past Department Commander Bur
dett, of Washington, whose chances
are good for election az our next Com
mander-in- Chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic, and delegates from Wash
ington and Baltimore.
At Philadelphia we were also Joined
by General Logan, Senator from Illi-
pois. and his wife, who is a fine looking
lady, and reminds me of the portrait OF
Martha Washington.
On our arrival at New York. where
we were reinforced by General Barnum,
another candidate for the position OF
Commander-inC Chief, and other Grand
Army delegates.
We took the magnificent palace steam
hoat Bristol at 8 p. N. via. the Fail
River route to Fall River. At Fall
River we took the cars and reached Bos
ton at Z a. m. Monday morning, and
spent several hours in visiting various
points of interest, including tiresomt
trip up three hundred steps to the top
of Bunker Hill monument.
reached Portland Monday morn.
ing, and found the hotels all crowded
but secured pleasant quarters at a pri
vate residence, and spent the evening
in shaking hands with old comrades
from all parts of our grand and glorious
| Union.
Although yesterday morning thu
skies were heavy, and the ground
drenched with heavy showers, yet thii
morning the skies were clear and the ali
delightful and cool.
At II a. m. to-day, the grand parade
started composed first of the Maine STAT
M ilitia. then the G. A. Il. of Maine
who alone occupied about one hour il
passing, followed by large division O
the g. A. r.. of Massachusetts,, then by
lcomrades from Connecticut and many
other States, including fine marching
platoon of eight comrades from Della
ware commanded by Department Ccm
mander Lit1enberg.
The parade was, 1 think, the larges
and finest G. A. r. parade that ever
witnessed, and was over wide and smoo
Ithly paved streets. of which Portland
Imay be well proud.
The National Encampment meets to
morrow morning, and the comrades ar
busy meanwhile in rehearsing tbei
former experiences during the war, an,
their yearly meetings at the Nationa
Eneampments.
The people are enthusiastic in cur re
csption, and this is probably the great
est day that Portland has ever witness

A Terrible Crime.
4 PATHER DEDUCES HIS DA UGH
TER AND THEN CON.
MlT1 10UIClDE,
HORRIBLE AFFAIR.

Indian River Hundred, Sussex Coun-
ty, is becoming famous for the number
Of its suicide GASES. A short time ago Q
man nADsd Hazard took his own
life, and was followed two weeks ago
by Peter Robinson. But the most de-
termined suicide was that Of Thomas
Roach, who, after being discovered in
. revolving crime. took his life. Mr..
Roach WAS 6S years Of age. and lived
one Of the most pleasant farms In In
dian River Hundred, few miles from
Lewes. His life seemed to be 90
|blAmeless and his repatation for in
tegrity was 80 great that for years he
was arbitrator Of disputes betw cen his
His wife was some years
younger than himself and one Of the
l0vliest women in the county. They
brought up six children, the youngest
of whom is q 13-year.old daughter
named Annie.
On Monday night, the 22d::instaut,
Mr.. Roach committed suicide under
shocking circumstance. For some
months past Mrs. Roach had noticed
that her husband was growing melan-
choly and morose, and that their
youngest child seemed to be falling
physically and anxions to avoid the
other members OF the family. Annie's
strength gave way, and on being closely
questioned by her mother she confessed
that she was about to become mother,
and that the father of her child was
her own father. Mrs. Roach was al
most heart-broken, and it Was many
hours before she showed any signs Of
recovery from the nervous prostration
the daughters revelation had caused.
Upon hearing that his crime had
been exposed the father grew desperate.
He went to his room and took from O.
bureau drawer razor, with which he
cut his thr oat from ear to ear, but not
deep enough to cause DEATH. He then
went to the topmost part of the house
dumped to the ground, but even this
attempt at self-destruction failed. and
he only succeeded In breakin z an arm.
Besmeared with blood and dirt and
with torn garments and o gashed neck I,
he made q third and successful at
tempt.
\ He went tn the barn and to o rafter
tied rope, and clint bing up on a high
box, fastened the moose and gave the
fatal jump. The body was found hang
ing from the rafter at 8 o'clock last
evening, and was 30 warm that it was
evident that death had occurred not
more than thirty minutes previously.
The grief.stricken mother is guarded
! to prevent her from taking her own
life. The child, Annie, is in q preea.
rious condition.
Since these tragic events have oc-
Cured, a lady living near the scene OF
! the tragedy, has written to her father
in this city, stating that the report OF
Roach's crime with his daughter 10 not
0 believed in that community.

MOUNT MCGREGOR, June 24.-Gener-
al Grant slept veil last night, and when
he awoke this morning he remarked to
DR.. Douglas, in o comparatively
clear voice, " feel better than / have
since came up" He did some work
to-day on his book and received mes
sage from the National Enoampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic, at
Portland. Good cheer was rendered in
behalf of 800, 900 soldiers and sailors of
the Union. The General received the
and read 1t In person,
expressing pleasure thereat, and return
ing thanks over his own signature. :.
Yet the day has been one of pain and
unrest for the invalid. After Finishing
his work at proof revision he went ont
on the porch, sitting while where the
sun shone warm. He had little dispO-
sition however, to remain outdoors,
and although he ventured several times
In sight, it was for short time only,
the long intervals being spent in his
room In Intellectual efforts to sleep. He
was restles, but did not complain OF
special discomfort.
DIR. Shrady arrived in the afternoon
train for a consultation. He Joined
DIR. Doug las at once at the cottage.
They were with the General nearly an
hour. On leaving him they announced
their conclusion that the Generals
system was better than it could have
been had he remained in New York,
but that there had been no check or di.
version In the progress of the disease.
When the doctors left him the General
sat quietly for few minutes before
his restlessness was again manifest, but
when it began to appear he seemed
n greater pain than at any time o1
late. and walked the room with drawn
features.
| Darkness brought relief to the Gen
Ieral and the family. DIR. Shrady wa
with them and cleansed his throat. Hi
lpresence was, an usual, breezy anf
cheering, and tho General grew quit
4 chatty with his pencil. The Genera
summed up what he had done, sayinI
J, that Yesterdays work had not seemet
! specially hard for him. He wa
anxious to know If DIR. Shrady though
Ihe had improved and what the pros
poets were for the recovery of his voice
tlDr. Shrady said he certainly looke'
3 lbetter, but 1T was yet early to So
HI whether or not the voice was perma
| pently lost. All the General said wa
t in writing. He tried once to speak, bu
l the doctor could not understand him.
ell By o o'clock he was ready to be pre-
r pared for the night. Both doctors al
cI tended him and staid at his side q
II hour and then left him, believing tha
z he was falling asleep with prospects {
( a fair night. DR.. Shrady said afterwar
:. that the progress of tho disease sine
9 the last record has been marked b
-ldeepening of the cavity at the base
l. the tongue, and that the grandul
d swelling had hardened and becom
8 more firmly fixed. He will prepare Il
q morrow for the Medical Record q IL

Salisbury Office:
THE GREAT SEALS FBOM
THE QUEEN.
GLADSTONE EXPLAINS.

LONDON June A.-There was o full
Of members in tho House Of
Commons this afternoon. The Conser.
vAtives occupied the ministerial bench
es.
Mr.. Gladstone read to the House the
between himself and
the Marquis Of Salisbury relating to the
recent deadlock in the Government.
This correspondence. which passed
directly through tho hands OF the
Queen, comprised series Of letters Of
date ranging from June II TO June 81.
Lord Salisbury demanded pledges of
Liberal support TO enable the Censor.
vatives to finish the absolutely neces-
sary business of the session by giving
the new Government precedence ON
those days flxed for the supply or ap.
preparation bills. and II no other wsy
Of meeting the deficit were feasible to
let the income tax remain at Sd. for the
remainder of the year, leaving the de-
ficit to be met by an issue of exchequer
bonds or q temporary loan. Lord Sal
isbury explained that 1t would be use
less to take Office without the support
Of the Liberal leaders, because an ap-
peal to the country under the Seats bill
would be impossible before November.
Mr.. Gladstone, In reply, gave assur.
ance that he had no wish to embarrass
the Government. After consulting his
colleagues he Informed the Queen thai
he conceived it would be contrary tc
public duty to compromise the liberty
Of the House Of Commons by giving
specific pledges not to oppose the re-
manning business Of the session before
possessing all the facts bearing upor
such business. He concluded by as
surfing the Queen that facilities for ex
pediting supply might reasonably b'
provided, and there would be no at
tenn pt TO withhold the ways and mean
required for the public service, but h
could give no specific pledges In regar'
to underlined questions.
