About the American RuirA-"x

New n-vEN, Feb. 7.-Relative to the
shaking mp the American Bnilding and Loan
association of Minneapolis ia receiving in this
and other states, strenuous efforts are being
made to show the company's solvency. 1t is
maintained by prominent bank officials in
this city that according to their belief the
concern il perfectly solvent, yet they refuse
to be quoted, saying they do not wish to get
mixed up in the affair. If, however, what
they say was made public, 1t would restore
confidence In the association.
Henry P. Allen, special agent, of this city,
In an interview this morning says these
stories about the association being in trouble
emanatss entirely from monied interests,
which have combined to root them out. He
states that stockholders need have no alarm,
and quotes as proof of It the very thorough
investigation recently made by the public
bank examiner of Minnesota. The total
profits of the association to January 1, 1890,
are reported to be $127, ga 08.

TIRED OF LIFE.
A Sensational Suicide at
Washington.
Architect Mullett Puts a Bullet
In His Brain.
The Deceased Well Known Through
out the United States.
He Was the Designer of Some of the Finest
Buildings in the Land-Melan-
cholia the Cause.
Associated Press Dispatches. |

WASHINGTON, d. c., October 2l.-
Architect Mullett, one of the best
known architects Of this city, and for
years supervising architect of the treas
ury department, shot and killed himself
this evening at his residence. He had
been in poor health for a long time, suf-
fering from rheumatism and other COM
plications, but it is thought financial
trouble was the chief cause of Mullett's
act.
DR.. P. ]. Murphy, surgeon in Chicago
Columbia hospital, who for many years
had been Mullett's family physician,
made statement of the circumstances
of the shooting, substantially as follows
About S O'Clock he was called to the
house to see Mrs. Mullett who was
slightly indisposed. After prescribing
for Mrs. Mullett, the doctor took leave
and went to his Office just across the
street. He had been there but short
time when a son of Mr.. Mullett came
running over and asked him to come to
the house immediately. He hurried
mons, and found Mullett lying across
tiiC OCu III uio clCCpluS dpdI IultIG, dIlu
partially disrobed, unconscious and
bleeding profusely. The doctor made
hasty examination, and found that the
blood came from a wound about two
inches above the right eye. The dying
man gave four or five gasps, and expired
within seven minutes after the wound
had been inflicted. When the doctor
first entered the room he found Mrs.
Mullett lying by the body of her
wounded husband, weeping bitterly,
with her arms thrown around his neck.
The doctor moved her gently from the
room and then gave his attention to her
husband.
Later in the evening the coroner was
summoned, and after an examination OF
the body gave verdict of death from
suicide. due to melancholy.
Mr.. Mullett was 56 years old, and very
we'll known. He designed many of the
public buildings that have been erected
in different cities, among them being the
New York city postoffice and the impos-
ing state, war and navy department
building in this city. Mr.. Mullett had
a severe case of the grip last winter,
from which he still suffered. For the
past few months he had been at times
Respondent and gloomy.

A PAINFUL RUMOR.
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HOIST BY
THEIR OWN PETARD.
They Bought $1o,ooo,ooo Worth of Sill
yer Before the Bill Passed, and Now
Are Unable to Sell at Profit.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-There is pain
full rumor in circulation here to the
effect that members of congress who
went into pool for the purchase of a
large quantity of silver before the silver
bill passed, have been unable to dispose
of their holdings, and are likely to
carry them some months before it
reaches the quotation of month
or six weeks ago. 1t is understood that
the pool represents O,OOO 900 in silver,
purchased at prices ranging from 81 .04
to $1.10. After the passage Of the act
quotations ran up as high as $1.19, but
spectators in New York unloaded so
rapidly, and so much of the metal was
shipped to this country from England,
that the market was flooded and the
congressman were unable to dispose of
the large quantity they had purchased.
