Remarkable Voyage of the Ships Lorton

One of the most remarkable sailing

Lorton and Cockermouth entered the Mer-

the Mersey on October 8, 1890. bound to
Astoria, Oregon. and arrived at that port
within twelve hours of each other After
passing Cape Horn the vessels were in
sight of each other for forty-eight days, and
visits were paid from one to the other by
means Of the boats. The two ships sailed
from Astoria on the Sth of April, the Lorton
bound to Dunkirk and her rival to Havre.
The Cockermouth arrived ON August 10Th,
and on the 22d the Lorton. Both sailed
from France for Liverpool on September

END OF BOULANGER.

This, Added to the Fact That Most OF His
Friends Had Deserted Him, Caused
Him to End His Life.
ereeial 10 THE MoRNrNs GALE

BRUSSELS. Sept. 3O.-General Boulanger
has committed suicide.
The suicide occurred at the tomb OF Nine.
de Bonnemaine, his mistress, who died here
recently. Boulanger committed suicide
about noon. He stood alone at the grave of
his mistress for some time, when the at
tendant, who stood near by, suddenly heard
a sharp report in that direction. Rushing
to the spot. he found General Boulanger
lying dead upon the ground with revolver
clenched in his right hand. An examina-
tion of the BODY showed the dead man had
placed the weapon to his right ear and fired
the shot. The affair caused great excite
ment here and some commotion among the
Generals followers in Paris. The police
and dead mans friends here have taken
possession Of his lodgings.
The Generals position, financial and po-
litical, has been getting blacker and blacker
recently. He had no hopes for the future,
and his remaining friends were few and be-
coming colder, as the once famous General
dropped more and more out OF public notice.

he paid but little attention TO the reading Of
the decision, as if it were stale news to him.
Attorney Darwin sat with his eyes half
closed, PLAYING with his stubby beard, his
expression indicating satisfaction with the
verdict in advance.
George w. Taylor had taken seat few
feet behind Darwin and Chute. The unpaid
manager of the Senatorial combination lis

homily with cynical smile. and when at

REVIEW OF THE CASE.
Judge Murphy began with reeapitula-

Chute's habeas corpus petition. He re-
viewed Judge Wallace's first attempt to
select a Grand Jury. the torn slips Of paper
IN the jury-b the appointment of an

referred to the summons ISIS sed to Chute,
the latter's disregard Of it, Judge Wallace's
citation, the subsequent sentence of the
boodler for contempt of court and the lat
teT's habeas-cOrpus petition in Depart
ment u.

express purpose of endeavoring to persuade
the General to alter his mind. Dutins and
his leader had several long interviews, dur
ing which the former did his utmost to per-
suade the General that he should abandon
such morbid ideas. The Generals niece,
becoming alarmed after his departure this
morning, sent for Dutins, and together they
started for the cemetery. In the meantime
General Boulanger had left the landau at
the gate of the cemetery and had walked
slowly and calmly to the tomb of Nine.
Bonnemaine. He remained there some time
in deep thought, and was afterward seen
slowly walking around the cemetery, still
thinking deeply. Contrary to the first re-
ports received of the affair the General must
have walked about the cemetery nearly an
hour and half before he returned to Nine.
Bonnemaine's tomb All reports agree in the
statement that as soon as the General
reached the tomb the second time he imme-
diately placed the pistol TO his head and shot
himself. The report of the revolver was
heard by the coachman who was driving the
Generals landau and by the valet who ac-
companied the suicide TO the cemetery.
They both rushed to Nine. Bonnemaine's
tomb and there found the General quite
dead, lying across the grave. Death must
have been instantaneous.

Further Hearing of the Charge Agains

Further Hearing of the Charge Against

So occupied was Judge Murphy yesterday
with his somewhat notorious Chute decision
that he forgot all about the Nelson libel
case. Just before the last campaign William
NJ. Nelson OF Sharonic fame issued circu-
lar charging that Judge Murphy, who was a
candidate for reelection. was a corruption
ist and drunkard. Judge Murphy promptly
caused the arrest of Nelson on charge Of
libel, and vigorously prosecuted the case
until after his election. Then the further
hearing Of the case dragged wearily along.

again came up in Department / Of the Po-

HIS MILITARY CAREER.
General B0ulanger was born in 1887. In
1856 he was appointed Lieutenant in
the Fist Regiment of Algerian Tiralleurs.

Kabyle expedition. In 1859 he was wounded
at Turbigo, and received the decoration of
the Legion of Honor. In 1861 he was with
the expedition TO Cochin-ChiDa. During
the FraDeo-German war he acted as Chief
of Battalion in the Army of Paris. and was
wounded at Champigny. In 1880 he was ap-
pointed Brigadier- General, in which posi-
ton he began to show signs of agreat talent
for organization. He was sent to the United
States as head Of the Mission on the Cen
tenary of Independence. He was appointed
to General of Division in Africa. but re-
turned in twenty months to the War Office
as Minister in 1886 While in Tunis he ex-
