lyn soldiery This Afternoon.

This IL O red-letter day for the National
Guardsmen of New York and It's vicinity.
Although the Clerk of the Weather Bureau
seems to have been trying his best to make
things unpleasant for the gallant boys in
blue, the arrangements made for the day are
being carried out in every particular.
The presence of Gov. Hill and his staff in
town to review the grand parade Of the First
and Second brigades. as we'll as TO take part
In the ceremonies OF laying the corner stone
Of the new Eighth Regiment Armory at
Einety-fourth street and Park avenue, makes
the occasion one OF more than ordinary inn
p~ortance.
The first thing in order vas the laying of
the Armory cornerstone, which took place
at noon.
Only the members of the Eighth Regiment.
with some invited guests, participated In their
ceremonies. The members assembled at the
Old Armory, Thirty-sixt street and Broad
way. at 0 o'clock.
The prospect was moi, an inviting one, for
and the boys looked rather glum as they
thought of the havoc the mud and water
would make with their best parade uniforms
and now white helmets and leggings-
Col. Scott was on hand with his stan at an
early hour, and he decided that the line Of
march must be taken up at 10 O'Clock sherp,
just as II had been arranged.
Precisely at the appointed hour the big
doors of the Armory were thrown open and
the regimental band, with Drnm Major Conner
at It's head, fled out and took up Its position in
Broadway. Eight companies OF privates,
with their officers, followed. and with gray
whiskered Col; Scott and his mounted staff
at its head the column began its march.
There were between four and five hundred
men in line.
just as the regiment started the rain began
to slacken o bit and soon after Il stopped
altogether and there were signs Of o general
clearing M.
At Fifth avenue and Forty-ffth street the
Veterans of The regiment, 800 strong. under
| the command Of Major Leander Buck, fell
into line in the rear, and the column pro-
eeeded up Fifth avenue to the site of the now
Armory.
Gov. Hill and the members of his STAFF,
left the Hoffman House at II o'clock, in car

The corner stope il q big block of red Nova

SHOT ON CONVENT GROUNDS.
FERDINAND PFITZER KILLS HIMSELF
AFTER SHOOTING HIS WIFE.

He Thought lie Had Become n Murderer
After n Quarrel at Home, and, Going
Into the Grounds Of the Convent Of the
Sacred Heart, shot Himself In the Head
Detectives Sought Him for Hours.
What at first was supposed to be q tramp
asleep in the grounds Of the Convent Of the
Sacred Heart, at One Hundred and Twenty
eighth street, near Tenth avenue, this morn
ing. was found upon investigation to be the
body of a dead man.
The man lay partly on his side in q pool of
blood that flowed from q bullet wound in his
head.
A policeman Of the West One Hundred and
Twenty sixth street station, had the body
removedl TO the West One Hundred and
Twenty. sixth street station house 1t is be-
loved that the man committed suicide.
He was identified later as Ferdinand
Pftzer, employed as a Waterman in Yueng-
ling's Brewery, at One Hundred and Twenty
West One Hundred and Twenty-eighth
street. He was q German by birth, thirty
five years old. Family troubles, 1t is sup
posed, induced him to take his life:
Christina. The uproar they made aroused
the neighborhood. Pftzer at last whipped
out his revolver and fred at the woman.
The bullet struck her in the thigh, inflict-
ing q serious but not q fatal wound. She was
removed TO he Manhattan Hospital.
Without waiting to see how badly she was
injured her husband fled from the house.
Detectives Of the West One Hundred and
Twenty sixth street station we're looking for
him all night, but could find no trace of him.
The theory is that he imagined he had fatally
injured his wife, and fearing the conse-
quences determined to kill himself.
The couple had been in this country only
o few years. They quarrelled constantly.
Sergt. George L. Suite. of the West One
| Hundred and Twenty-s ixt street station. noti-
fed the Coroner's Office of the case, and Cor
oner Eidman will hold an inquest this after
noon.
Mrs. Pftzer is forty years old. She is re-
ported bv the Manhattan Hospital physicians
to be doing we'll.
One strange phase of the tragedy is the fact
TINT there are no powder marks on the dead
mans face, such as are always produced by a
| suicide, who must necessarily hold a weapon
close to the face when about to shoot him
self.
TIL revolver was not found near the dead
man and gave rise to suspicious of foul play,
but the police think that some Italian
laborer in passing the scene of the tragedy
found the weapon in the pathway and carried

Gen. Solomon was seventy Ave years Of age
and 0 feet tall. He resigned the Presidency
of Hayti Aug. 10 and left the Island immedi-
ately, coming TO New York on the steamer
Cienfuegos, of the Ward line. He arrived
here Aug. "a, and next day sailed for Paris
on La Champagne, of the French line.
President Solomon's resignation WINS the
result Of one of Hayti's peculiar revolutions.
In 1886 he was reelected to q second term OF
seven years as President of the Republic.
His opponents In the election were Boisrund
Cayal and Gen. Telomaque, Liberal leaders
at Port au- Prince and in the north part of the
island respectively.
The people were melted to rebellion by
stories of how Solomon was sending fabulous
sums of money out of the island for his own
use. and stories Of deeds of violence COM
mited by him were told.
On July 4 last the Chamber Of Deputies
was burned to the ground, and a week later
the buildings of the Departments OF Wa and
Interior Affairs, the Court House, the Gov
eminent Printing Office md the house Of the
Bishop were destroyed by fire by the revo-
lutionists.
Gen. Solomon hastily resigned. He was
permitted to go to Cuba on O British man-of-
war and came thence to New York.
Preside nt Solomon left Hayti once before,
but was called back after o season Of turmoil
and confusion there.
