G.n.raI Reem's a1isfortune,

CHICAGO, May 3.-One of General
Beem's most intimate friends received
a telegram yesterday morning, stating
that the general had shot himself.
my dispatch" he said. did not say
whether he had shot himself by acct
dent, or with intent to commit suicide,
but believe he did it by accident. I"
The general has not been enjoying
good health for some time past, and he
was compelled to travel a great deal
about the country in search of chang
ing climatic conditions. The report
that he committed suicide en- account
of family troubles is untrue. General
BEEN was a member of both the ILL.,
always took an active interest in their
affairs. His title of general was one
that was given him by his friends,
not one that he won in the
army, where his rank was captain. The
particular feat of gallantry which won
him that rank was related by a friend
last night as follows: BEEN, when the
battle begun, was assigned TO head
quarters, where he was ordered to re-
main at all hazards. He watched the
battle with eager interest and saw
were making. Finally, when he saw
his own comrades falling back before
the rebel shot and shell he could con.
tain himself no longer. Selling a flag
that was tied to the tent he
wrapped it around his form and then,
regardless of his order, he sprang in
front OF the broken columns of blue
He tore the flag loose, waved it around
his head and, with cheer of defiance
made for the advancing rebels. A
mighty cheer from the tired and nearly
discouraged soldiers answered. His
own lines closed up as if by magic; anC
the retreat became a victorious ad
vance, for the men gained a temporary
victory there" "Old Tecump" saw
Beem's gallant act and he told Genera
Grant of it and recommended that thu
young lieutenant be made q captain Oh
the field and the RECOMMENDATION wa
carried out.

The best medical writer's claim that
the successful remedy for nasal catarrh
must be non-irritating, easy of appli-
cation, and one that will by its own
action, reach all the remote sores and
liberated surfaces. The history of
the efforts to treat catarrh during the
past few years obliges us to admit
that only one remedy has completely
met these conditions, and that is
Ely's Cream Balm. This safe and
pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh
as nothing else has ever done, and
both physicians and patients freely
concede this fact. The more distress
ing symptoms quickly yield to it.

HOpeIessly insane.

DENVER, Col, May 4.-Ben Robbins
of Kentucky, who was recently ap-
pointed United States district attorney
for Colorado, and who attempted sui
eide a few days ago by cutting his
throat, is thought to be hopelessly in
sane. He is confined in a hospital,
where he is constantly raving over
attempt upon his life. The physicians
think the knife used by Robbins must
have severed nerve leading to his
brain, producing an injury from which
he will never RECOVER.

IN HE HANDS OF HIS FRIENDS.
Isi~fne Gives Assent ito an Aggressive
Campaisn In his Behalf

Il
Campaign In his Behalf.
| PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-THE Times
viii publish tomorrow the following
triple leader special from New York,
which it will endorse as coming direct
from the most authentic source:
NEW YORK, May Al have entirely
reliant information that friends of
Blaine have within the last five days
received direct, from him, his assent to
an aggressive movement for his re-
nomination for president, and the as
surance that if nominated in the face
of his Florence letter of declination,
he would not feel at liberty to decline.
a general and systematic effort has
been made by Blaine's closest friends,
| such as Chairman Jones, William
Walter Phelps, Whitelaw Reed,
/ Charles Emery Smith and Others for
two months past to get Blaine into
the attitude of a passive candidate.
The Washington conference was only
part of the varied methods by which
influences had been brought to bear
upon Blaine, and the publication of
his portrait freshly taken from life in
Italy and issued by the Judge" this
week was decided on more than a
month ago as starting point for the
avowed effort to make Blaine the can
didate. Every possible pressure has
been put upon Blaine to get from him
the direct assurance that he will not
decline if nominated, and that aSSur-
ance has been received in this city
from Blaine within the last three days.
In a very few days more it will cease
to be a secret that Blaine is in the
Blaine leaders will at once come
| to the front and make an ag-
gressive campaign for his renomina-
| ton. This movement has been
pretty clearly foreshadowed for some
weeks in such of the Blaine organs
as the Tribune. of this city, and
the Philadelphia Press and all affec-
| lions about Blaine's candidacy will
now be thrown off and the battle made
an aggressive one. Part of the origin
al programme was the election of
Charles Emery Smith as delegate at
large from your state, and the
| failure was a great disappiont-
in this city. But MIR. smith
gives the assurance that Blaine can
command majority of the Pennsyl-
vania delegates under any circum-
stances. and that if Blaine's nomina-
ton shall be assured, the delegation
will be solid for him. The unexpected
expressions in Massachusetts and
Vermont for Blaine were not accidental
nor were they unexpected to Blaine's
friends. When all anti-Blaine
men were reposing on their
arms because they regarded Blaine
out of the fight, the friends of
Blaine were most energetic in the
work on two anti-Blaine New England
states, and they got possession of Yer
mont and Massachusetts, while the
others were sleeping IN fancied security.
1t was the expression of three hitherto
anti-Blaine New England states that
made Blaine cast aside his doubts and
assent to the opportunities of his
| friends for his denomination and it is too
positive fact that Blaine is in the
| field and that his friends have his as
sent to a movement in his favor, and
| that he will be nominated at Chicago if
hard work and plenty of enthusiasm
can accomplish IT,

An InrOrmAI DIeI.


JACKSON, Miss, May 3.-JOhn II.
Martin, editor of the New Missis-
sippian, was returning to his Office yes
terday afternoon, when he was met
about midway between his nome and
his Office by General Adams and a
friend who had left the postoffice a
few minutes earlier and were proceed
ing towards Martins home.
Adams stopped Martin and engaged
him in conversation for about a min
ute, when Adams drew his pistol and
fred, knocking Martins hat off.
Adams second shot brought Martin
to his knees.
Martin experienced considerable
difficulty in drawing his pistol, but
finally succeeding. he fired rapidly. A
third shot from Adams caused Martin
to fall fiat on his back. After a few
seconds, however, he partially rose
and steadying himself on his elbow,
shot Adams directly through the heart,
killing him instantly.
Martin lived a few minutes only.
Owing to the fact that Martin is
believed to have received four shots
while only three chambers of Adams
pistol were empty, some suspicion
attaches to Ned Parrish, Adams
friend, and an investigation will be
held.
Martin, though only 25 years of age,
stood at the head of the Mississippi
journalists. General Adams was be-
ween so and 20 years of age, and was
ne of Mississippi 3 most distin
uished men.
The following article. published this
morning in the New MissisSippian
was the immediate cause of the trag-
edy, though a breach has long existed
between the two men: People who
do not receive the New Mississippian
regularly will please remember that
since we exposed the obliquities of
General Writ Certificate Adams, The
postofice is endeavoring to wreak its
spite against this paper in every pos
sible way. This paper has to be in

some men will get when plain truth

per is feeling remarkably well.
