Special Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, March 1.-The Payne in
vestigating committee secretly stole away this
morning at the early hour OF five O'Clock and
much inquiry was necessary before the where
abouts OF the missing members could he
learned. 1t may now be said thatthe events OF
the past week have been such rs to justify the
suspicion that the examination OF certain
books and papers of a Toledo banking house
would remove the screen that has SO long
shielded from the public view the transactions
of certain members Of the general assembly
that have been suspected of crooked work in
connection with the election of United States
Senator. The committee has gone 10 Toledo
for the express purpose of examining the bank
books, checks and other papers deemed neces-
sary for full investigation. IL has ample
authority, and the impression prevails i'm GER
tain quarters that the desired information will
be discovered. The testimony of ex-Repre-
sentative kahle, to the effect that ex-senator
RAINY offered him $1,000 to support Mr..
Payne, appears to cling with tenacity that
defies all efforts TO remove il or in any way
lesson its weight.

THE DETERMINED SUICIDE OF A LABoRER IL
A CAKE BAKERY.
Yesterday afternoon James NJ. Underwood,
employed as a laborer at Mrs. Demonets cake
bakery, 1.14 Pennsylvania avenue, where his
brother, John, is employed as a confectioner,
committed suicide by cutting his head nearly
of with a razor. The deceased was a single
man, about So years OF age, and a native Of
Purcellvifle, Fauquier county, Va. He mad
been employed by Mrs. Demonet for about
eight months. and recently he had been acting
i'm a strange manner, occasionally having hts
of melancholy. So frequently had these oc-
Cured OF late that the question OF discharging
him had been discussed. Yesterday his con.
duct was SO strange as TO attract notice. His
brother John told him to go up stairs and shave
and they would go TO the theater in the even
ing-the brother being in hopes that by this
means his mind would be diverted. This was
about five o'clock and Underwood went to his
room. Some time afterward his absence was
noted. A servant girl who was sent 10 the
third story found him lying dead on the floor,
with his mead nearly severed from the body.
There was a razor beside him and the looking
glass was spattered with blood. Lieut.. Guy
was informed and going to the house obtained
all the particulars and telephoned to the cor
oner. who gave the necessary death certificate.
The body was turned over TO undertaken
and will be sent To Purcellville for interment.
The deceased was not a drinking man and not
given to bad habits, and the only explanation
offered for the act Is insanity.
