Grief Resulted in Suicide,

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Edward Graham Haight, broker at No. S3 Cedar street and lieutenant of company G, Seventh regiment, N. G., s. N. Y., aged 37 years, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head last night at the Kenmore flats, No. 444 West Fifty-seventh street, where he resided with his mother and brother. MT. Haight has been Respondent since the recent death of a sister to whom he was greatly attached He has been drinking heavily, and has acted in an almost insane manner. Last night Mrs Haight called in a passing policeman to quiet her son, who was running wildly about the rooms The officer succeeded in getting Haight to behave nationally, and then left. He had not got out of the building when he heard shot, and running back, found Haight dead The mother was nearly crazed with grief

ble circumstances, the wind blowing a gale and an unusually heavy sea running. Under these disadvantages she made mean speed of 10 59 knots in two runs over a two knot course. The disadvantage of the heavy sea was much aggravated by the shallowness of the water on the measured course It was also conceded on all hands that the water on the measured course is much too shallow to give the vessel fair chance within at least half to three-Quarters of @ knot per hour.
 Yesterday she started to make another run, and had gone over three-fourths of the course in the first run at the rate of at least 21 knots, when one of the air pumps connecting levers broke, which necessitated the shutting off of that engine, and the re- mainder of the run was made with the other engine alone. Under that disadvantage her speed over the whole course was 19.47 knots per hour. Thereupon the trial ended"
 The Messrs. Cramp announce that they feel in duty bound to give another test of speed of the Vesuvius, but they will ask that the course be chosen farther down the bay, near the Breakwater 50 that a clear way and an ample depth of water may be had, with every chance of the vessel to show her very highest speed They have no doubt whatever that the Vesuvius will in every way prove superior to her contract specified tions and they are particularly desirous of showing that she is the fastest vessel ahoat.

Mir. Ford Says Our Charitable Institutions
 Are Flooded with Foreign Paupers.
 NEW YORK, Dec 2S.-Chairman Ford, of the congressional immigration committee, accompanied by Sergeant at Arms Merri- field and Stenographer Fisher, arrived in this city from Detroit, where the committee has spent several days in the investigation of Canadian immigration. MT. Ford, in an interview, said the taking of testimony had at last been concluded. At Pittsburg and Detroit the testimony showed new phases of "the violation of the purpose and intent of the law excluding laborers under contract. "We also discovered that the.eharitable insti- tutions of our cities along the Canadian frontier, as well as those of several interior towns, are being flooded with aliens, pau pers and insane. I shall return at once to Washington and begin the preparation of the committees report to congress" No re- liable evidence was obtainable in support of the charges that during the recent strike on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail- road several hundred English engineers were imported to take the places of the strikers.
