Of the occasion was the reading of

Patriotic Dead by Mr. j. j. Mackey.
The Tammany monument stands in
one of the most conspicuous parts Of
the Gettysburg battlefield. The base is
about twelve feet in height, and is a

One Of a Dozen Such Cases,

Gloucester continues to figure in the news
of the day, not perhaps as the cause of
crime so much as place presenting condi-
tions that tempt weak men to wrong-doing
An embezzler is now in custody at Buffalo
who is to be brought on to this city for trial
on charge of robbing beneficial associa-
tion of which he was Secretary and Treas
urer. The fact that he was elected to these
Offices may be taken as evidence that he
bore good reputation before be began to
gamble at Gloucester, but that false step
led him to ruin. Losing his own money,
he made an effort to retrieve his fortune by
using the money with which he had been
entrusted in another bet. He lost, and fed
from the city to begin life anew, and is now

crime. This is only one of dozen such
cases recorded this summer.

and Usefulness.
wH1HE DEIrRIoUs FROM FEVER

A. p, Moorehouse. Who succeeded
Governor Marmaduise as Chief
Magistrate of Missouri. Cuts His
Throat with a Pcnknife-Brief
sketch Of fits Career.
MARYsvILLE, Mo-, Sept. 24.-Ex-Gov-
ernor A. P. Moorehouse committed sui

was out driving with friend, and dis
PLAYED extreme nervousness. On re-
turning to his home he retired. but the
servants, thinking him i'll, placed watch
ers at his bedside The watchers left
the room for moment yesterday, and
were in an adjoining room when they
were startled by gurgling sound issu-
ing from the room occupied by the gov
erflor. Rushing into the room they
found Governor Mooehouse lying on
the floor, with the blood squirting from
four inch cash in his throat, inflicted
with pehkhife, which was cllnched IN
his hand. Medical aid was summoned at
once, but without avail.
The particulars Of the suicide, as de-
veloped at the coroper's inquest, show
that a few days ago Governor Moore
house, while on one of his farms, twelve
miles from here, suffered slight sun
stroke. His system was impregnated
with malaria and susceptible to fever. He
was brought home, when symptoms OF
typhoid malaria developed. He was

He was attended during his dying
motnents only by servants, the gov
ernors family being at st. Joseph, Mo-,
on visit.

first lieutenant of Colonel Kimball's
regiment of the Union troops. In 1862
he resumed the practice Of law at Marys-
vile as a partner of Colonel James
Graham, from whose wife, Mary, the
city takes its name. This connection
was severed in 1865, he relinquishing
the practice Of law and forming a real
estate partnership. In the same year he
married Miss McFadden, of Lexington,
