Warned the Spectators Not to Interfere.
Said Goodbye and Shot Himself
BUCHANAN, MICH, Jan. 29.-The residents OF
this city were greatly excited last night over
the sensational suicide of p. Cox, about thirty
years old. He was a cousin of Charles Cloves,
who killed himself and mistress in q Chicago
bagnio a week ago. Cloves remains were
brought here for in.erment. Young Cox seemed
to have been deeply affected by the tragedy.
Yesterday he went into a hardware store and
asked to be shown some revolvers. The pro-
prietor intuitively felt that something was
wrong. and declined to exhibit the weapons.
Cox afterward entered another hardware store.
No undue mental disturbance was indicated by
his demeanor. In obedience to his request he
was shown several revolvers. He selected one
and cartridges to fit were handed out. These
he deliberately adjusted in the chamber. Seen
tlemen," he said, turning to the five or six men
in the store, 81 wish to say goodbye, and
The now thoroughly frightened spectators adj
vanced to prevent the suicide. 'Stand back, ~
he exclaimed, brandishing the weapon,"I don't
want to die a murderer, but you mustn't at
tempt to interfere" The men retreated. Plac-
ing the pistol at his forehead, he added: ''Say
goodbye 30 all my friends" and pulled the trig-
ger. The bullet entered the brain, and death
ensued almost instantly. Cox leaves a mother
and young brother who were dependent on him
for support.

COLUMBUS, Jan. 29.-The joint senate met at

the two factions, until tomorrow morning. The
proposition OF the conference committee which
has i'm charge the arrangement of compromise
measures, submitted to the democratic

also been agreed. TO by the republican caucus.
The proposition is that special committee of
six members of equal number, politically, shall

to the Senate. The conference committee re-
sumed business at 1870 a. IN. They expect to
have something further to report To the respec-
tive caucusses by evening. The fight in the
committee now will be on one of the main
issues, which is the rules which shall prevail in
the contest cases, and whether in disposing of
the report to be made by the investigating COM
mittee three of the Hamilton county members
shall have the privilege OF voting on the fourth.
The differences are SO great between the sides
on this point that it may result in killing all COM

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
COLUMBUS, Jan. 29.-The senate met and adj
journed this morning to allow the conference
committee on appointments to continue its
labors. Senator Eggers, of Cuyahoga county,
has made himself ridiculous by giving out to
the democratic press a speech that he intended
to make on Wednesday afternoon when the
senate convened, counseling moderation and
favoring concessions on both sides. The anna
teur statesman was cut down in his prime.
however, by the motion to adjourn, which was
carried by a unanimous vote. Eggers being a
republican, made desperate efforts to prevent
the publication of the speech he had not made,
but the democratic editors appreciated the
situation too well and published the effusion in
great shape, much to the chagrin of the Cleve-
land statesman. The republicans are some-
what handicapped because of the assumption
of certain new members who know little of
parliamentary rules and who desire TO take the
leadership in the senate. The senate deadlock
caused the house to adjourn until Monday
