WAS 1T sUIc1DEe
The Mysterious Death of an Omaha Man
in Chicago.

CHICAGO, August 20.-The dead body
of Clark Woodman, one of the wealth.
lest citizens of Omaha, Neb., and an in
fluential director of the Linseed Oil
trust, was found this evening, in his
loom, at the Grand Pacific hotel. The
general supposition is that it was sui
eide, but the cause for such an act is a
mystery. Woodman arrived late Mon
day night, and no one had seen him
since that time. Wednesday evening
the chambermaid entered the room and
found, him lying on the bed, fully
dressed. He was breathing, and she
supposed he was asleep. The room
was not re-entered until this
evening, when his dead body was
found. On table were two bottles,
one containing ammonia and the other
spirit of camphor. On piece of letter
paper was written: "Three ounces of
chloroform, ,'one ounce of ammonia" A
stamped and sealed envelope addressed:
'H. G. Clark, OMAHA" was also on the
table,,
Goodman was member of the grain
commission firm of Woodman & Harris,
of this city. A rumor was current that
Woodman lost large part of his fortune
during the recent excitement on the
board of trade, but no confirmation
could be obtained. His partner, J. +.
Harris, said that except in company
with himself, Woodman never visited
the board, and that he did nothing out
side the regular work of the firm.
Strangely enough, Harris did not know
Woodman was in the city until he
learned of his death. He could imagine
no possible reason for suicide, if that
was the cause of his death.
Woodmap's friends are inclined to be-
lieve that. death resulted from heart
failure. The letter to Mr.. Clark, at
Omaha, may explain the mystery, if it
was suicide.

HARRIsoN,s BIRTHDAY
Celebrated by Banquet on Mount Nc
Gregor.

Gregor.
M. MoGREaoR, N. Y, August Co.
On arrival Of the presidential party this
afternoon, the president proceeded to
the cottage of w. J. Arkell. In honor
OF the president, Mr.. Arkell had ar
ranged for pleasant birthday dinner at
the Hotel Balmoral. About 120 guests
participated, including Commander-in-
Chief Palmer, Of the q. A. R., Spencer
Trask and John A. Sleicher. Shortly
before o'clock, Mr.. Arkell arose and
said: "The president, on account of
his worn lungs and throat, is solicitous
that this be a Quaker meeting, one of
unspoken eloquence. Let me say, how
ever, that this being the 58th birthday
OF the president, we can properly extend
to him our heartiest and most sincere
wishes. His administration will be
known in the hereafter, not so much as
a Republican administration, as an
American administration"
President Harrison, in replying, said !:
ut was part of the covenant that this
feast should be a silent one, not exactly
a Quaker meeting, as Mr.. Arkell has
said, because silence there is apt to be
broken by the moving of the spirit.
That is not safe for a banquet. Laugh
teri We are gathered here in spot
which is historic. This mountain has
been fixed in the affectionate and rever-
ent memory Of all our people, and been
glorified by the death on its summit of
General Ulysses s. Grant. [Applause. ]
It is fit that great spirit which had
already lifted its fame to height un-
known in American history should
take it's flight from this mountain
top. 1t is been said that great
life went out here, but great lives like
that of General Grant do not go out
they go on. [Cries of ''good" and great
applause.l will ask you in reverent
and .affeetionate and patriotic remem-
brance of that man who came to recover
all the failures in military achievement,
and with his great generalship and in
flexible purpose to carry the flag of the
republic to ultimate triumph, recalling
with reverent interest his memory, to
drink toast in silence, as pledge that
we will ever keep in mind his great
services. and in doing 30, perpetuate
his great citizenship and the glory of
the nation he fought to save"
This evening literary and musical
entertainment was given the president
at the Hotel Balmoral.

ALMY's SURRENDER.
The Peaceful Town of Hanover, N. H.,
Greatly Excited.

Greatly Excited.
HANOVER, N. H., August 2O.-Solicitor
Mitchell who went into the barn and
talked with Almy, the murderer OF
Christie Warden today, at the murder
er's request, after the latter had refused
to surrender, gives the following account
of the interview: He told me his leg
was broken. He had large revolver in
each hand which he pointed sometimes
at me and sometimes at himself. He
asked if would guarantee him a fair
trial. l assured him l would. He
asked how much of his past history l
had found out, but would not tell him.
He asked me if thought he had better
kill himself. He finally refused to sur
render himself.
A. A. Smith also had conference
with Almy, in which Almy said: Il
did not mean to kill Christie. fired
the first shot accidentally. This threw
me into d frenzy and l shot her again. +"
Then pointing a revolver at Smith,
Almy forced him to leave the barn.
When Mitchell and Smith reported
that Almy had decided not to surrender,
the crowd became excited. "Don't fool
with him minute longer. Bring him
out, dead or alive, and do it quickly" !"
were some of the cries. A force with
Winchester rifles commenced firing at
the barn. Almy responded with his
revolvers, but the shooting resulted in
nothing but demand from Almy for a
