brother iu-law that he would go
into the sitting-Toom In the
front part of the house
and make fire where they could sit COM
fortably, and left his wife and her
brother talking together. He remained
away for some time and then went back
through the rooms aud hall TO the door of
the cook room, where he told his brother
in-law to remain awhile longer until the
sitting room could be warmed up. He
then turned and closed the cook room
door behind him and the doors of the
other two rooms through which he
passed. He had been gone only a few
minutes when his wife and her
brother heard the pistol shot
They ran into the front room and found
him lying on the floor, gasping, his head
and shoulders partly raised, one Of his
feet drawn up towards his body, his left
hand covering a pistol on the floor by his
side. He breathed only few times,
when his head fell back and he was dead.
On a dressing case in the room was
large 45-eulibre revolver, which he has
kept for long while under the head of
the bed in his and wife's sleeping room.
This he must have taken
out the first time he passed
through the room where he left his wife
and her brother. He had taken the cyl
mder out of it and had taken the balls
out of the cylinder and all were lying by
the pistol on the dressing case, which in
Dictated that he had decided he could not
use it The pistol with which he killed
himself was thirty eight calibre, Ameri-
can Bull Dog, which had been kept in
the drawer Of the dressing case on which
he left the revolver. This drawer had
been locked, and in unlocking it, he had
left the key in its place. Hewas without
a coat and only the lower button of his
vest was buttoned, though it covered
the wound in his heart, and he must have
pulled the left side of his vest with his
left hand, while with his right he held
the pistol to his heart and fired the fatal
shot. Justice Hinkle held an inquest
over the body, and from the surround
ings deemed it only necessary to take
testimony of one witness, which was that
of Mrs. Bankt, and her evidence cor
roborates the foregoing.

haitian, and steamed down the quar-
anime, where they met the City of
Para, and took Off the South Ameri-
can delegates to the International
Congress. In conversation with Sen
or Zclapa, delegate from Honduras,
that gentleman said Our people are
very enthusiastic over this Interna-
tional Congress and expect many adj
vantages to result from it. We wish to
develop our mining and our agricul-
turai interests, but our mines are what
we want to see in operation as soon as
possible. We need railroads and en-
largement OF commerce with foreign
countries, especially the United States.
All classes IL our country need closer
relations with your people" In speak
ing OF the present foreign trade of
Honduras, he said that it was now
controlled by England and France,
that those countries were reaping a
benefit and were opposed to the open
ing up Of all South American coun-
tries by other than themselves, and
that one main result hoped for by his
countrymen from this Congress was
immediate influence on American trade
and enterprise to develop his country.
Senior Juan Francisco Valerdo said,
in relation to Bolivia: We wish to
develop our extensive mining and agri-
cultural interests. Mining is the prin-
cipal industry, and always will be. We
have rich gold and silver mines. Our
copper mines are equal to any, and we
have one of the richest tin deposits in
the world. England monopolizes the
trade of our country, and, of course,
will not advance our interests to the
injury of her own. What we wish is
to have the United States be our prin-
cipal commercial connection"

LONDON, Sept. N.-The fact, though
suppressed by the authorities, has
come to light that on the occasion of
the Cars departure for Copenhagen,
chest of dynamite exploded in the
railway station at Peterhoff, killing
tho signal man and wounding several
other persons. The explosion occurred
Just previous to the Cars arrival at
the station. The explosion was prob
ably premature, as it is undeniable
from circumstances connected with the
affair that the persons who placed the
chest in the station did SO with the in
tention of exploding its contents when
his majesty should be near it.
