CASUALTIES.


ST. LOUIS, June 2.-R M. Reynolds,
late first auditor of the United States
treasury, killed himsiit this morning at
the Southern H.t,l. There Is an air
shaft In the hutsl over the rotunda
which cuts though The different Aoors
AT hve minutes TO o'clock Reynolds
either jumped or fell over the railing on
the third story into the air shaft. He
stru3k the marble floor of the rotunda
with a report heard all over the hotel.
he was picked up quite dead in front OF
the Office clerk. His skull was frac-
turedt and one OF his legs shattered. A
visit made to Reynolds room disclosed
the fact that It was full Of gas, although
the stop cock was turned; hence the
Theory" is held in the hotel that IL
must be suicide, and that after the fail
ure 10 asphyXiate himself he took tho
terrible dive to the marble
noor below. Reynolds had made
a. careful toilet this morning.
lie has been in st. Louis since Satur-
day, stopping with MIR. G, III, Albers,
but he left that gentleman's house and
put up at the hotel last night. He MAS
in excellent spirits whom last seen alive,
and no motive can be suggested for self
killing. He was on his way to Kansas
TO buy lana. He left tho United States
treasury only couple of weeks ago. He
was about 90 years Of age, and fine
looking, healthy man.
THE VERDICT SAYS 6uICIDB-THB HyI-
DENCE SAYS ACCIDENT.
The coroner's jury, after hearing con-
siderable testimony, rendered verdict
OF suicide. The remains win be
sent to Washington for burial. Mr..
Reynolds had been in the city several
days, but went TO the Southern hotel
last night, and after registering, asked
for an outside rosm high up. He said
he would not have an inside room on
any account. The clerk gave him
room on tho fourth floor
which satisfied him. Before he went 10
the hotel he had been stopping with
Charles III. Albers, an old friend, and
according TO MIR. Albers, he was the last
man IN the world 10 suicide. He
was In good health, apparently
happy ana on his way west 10
invest In new enterprise, of the sue
cess OF which he was very hopeml.
Others besides Mr.. Albors speak OF him
in about the same terms, which leads
to the belief that the death was caused
by accident rather than suicide. .e,,A

supposed to have driven him 10 self-do-
struction.

DENVER, June AIT an early hour
this morning the residents of tho west
orn portion of the city were startled by
a loud explosion. Investigation showed
that barn few feet from the residence
of o. Il. Davis, on Eighth street, was
blown up with giant powder or dynam-
ito. Some months ago the employees OF
the Davis mill asked for Increased
wages, which was refused, when
the men struck. New men were
employed IN their place. Since
then the strikers have boycotted
Davis and made numerous threats.
Two days ago five sticks of giant pow
der were found on the Denver Il Rio
Grando track near the city. The con-
oussioD caused from the train passing
over 1t would have blown the train To
atoms. Several other attempts 10 blow
up th0 property have been discovered
recently. II the Outragos continue the
indignation of the citizens may possibly
materializo into vigilance committee.

A despatch from franklin parish,
Louisiana. says sugar making has been
stopped, and the result Is disastrous 70
the plh nters. The yield, with few ex-
ceptions. has been unsatisfactory. and
This, coupled with the low price Of
product, has discouraged and depressed
the planters. The small yield is due to
the drouth in July, August and Sep
tember, producing .short, hard cane,
with woody fbre and saccbsrine mat
ter. Quite large area planted in the
lower end of the parish was swept
away by high water. No contracts
with laborers for the new year are being
made.
