THR VERY SAD ENDING
Of a Life That Has Seen Much Trouble
and Could Not Bear Il.
EX-BANK PRESIDENTJ.W. COLLINS
Commits Suicide in a San Francisco Hotel Aftsr
Taking Luncheon With Frisnds-He Seemed
to be in Good Spirits Before the Deed.
His Bank Wrecked.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 3.-Shortly
after one o'clock this afternoon the
community was shocked by a report
that J. W. Collins, the President OF the
defunct California National Bank had
just shot himself. Crowds gathered on
the street and hurried TO the Hotel
Brewster, where Collins had been re-
residing for the past eighteen months.
1t soon became known that Collins,
General f. Murray and Attorney-Gen-
eral Hart had been at lunch together at
the Brewster.
Collins looked very pale but chatted
pleasantly. He was asked how be was
feeling and replied: "Oh, about as well
as could be expected" In a few min
utes he left the table and went direct TO
his room. A minute later the report OF
a pistol was heard and when the door OF
the room was opened Collins was found
lying on the floor with blood streaming
over him and a pistol in his hand.
He expired almost Immediately, and
did not live long enough to speak to any
one. The deed was not wholly uneX-
pected. He evidently has been laboring
under great nervous strain for some
time. About two years ago MS entlre
family was drowned in the bay, and
now that he was financially ruined and
with the charge of embezzlement hang
ing over him, it is thought he was
brought to point where he considered
that he had nothing 10 live for.
The California National Bank closed
its doors November -. 1t was con-
sdered one of the strongest institutions
financially in Southern California. 1t
had paid up capital of half million
and a surplus of one hundred thousand.
The officers Of the bank claimed the
suspension was due to shrinkage in de-
posits and temporary inability to re-
lease its notes and accounts.
The National Bank Examiner took
charge OF the bank and MIR. Hanlin, of
Los Angeles, was appointed receiver by
the Treasury Department. As result
of the latter's Investigations warrant
was sworn out for Collins arrest on a
charge Of appropriating two hundred
thousand dollars of the banks funds,
and it was shown deposits were being
received up to the time OF closing the
doors. 1t Is understood that Collins was

CHICAGO, March 3.-Mrs. Blaine was

Blaine said:

which TO tell the whole truth about the
treatment given by his family, and to
retract the statement that it was |, and
not his son, who had done the courting
before our marriage.
"Mr. Blaine gave to the public garbled
extracts from my letters TO his son.
These convey an untruthful and unjust
idea respecting me. If~Mr. Blaine does
not, within ten days, publish the full
text of my letters, | will give TO the
public the letters which his son wrote TO
me before our marriage and which will
prove cOnclusively which was the wooer.

sists in his attacks on me, | will teach
him to regret it.

as an excuse for an attempt TO besmirch
me. love that child as my son quite
as much as Mr.. Blaine can love him a.
a grandson, and for that reason it is my
duty 20 see that his mother does not
rest under false charge unanswered. "

SpRINGER'S CONDITION AT MIDNIGHT.
He Was No Worse If Not Little Bet
ter-The Disease Affects the Brain.


ter-Thc Disease Affects the Brain.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March st
was announced to-day that Congress
man Springer had grown rapidly worse
and was in critical condition.
At midnight the condition OF Mr..
Springer Is unchanged, il indeed there
is not slight improvement. That he
is no worse is sufficient TO give renewed
hope to his friends, as the nature OF his
malady is such that every hour he sue
ceedS in battling away death, means
that it is he and not the disease is the
gamer.
Incidentally upon learning from the
watchers in his chamber that the Asso-
ciated Press reporter was in the house,
ne requested that he be admitted to the
sick room, and even found strength
enough to draw his arm from beneath
the cover and grasp the visitors hand.
II am no worse tonight" said the sick
man. land l believe l am going to get
fresh hold. II ! can just keep down this
cough which is sitting me l am all
right"
Just at this moment there was re-
currence of fit of deep nervous cough
ing which convulsed his frame. This pc
culiar and singularly dangerous cough
is induced. the physicians say, by the
condition of his brain rather than an af-
fection of the lungs. AS the erysipelas
is of the face and head, while
it has possibly not penetrated TO
the brain it has certainly seri-
ouSly disturbed the condition OF
that organ. 1t is the belief Of physi-
clans that il no change for the worse
takes place before tomorrow noon,
there will be reason TO hope for re-
cOvery.
Inability to sleep, and the nervous
desire of the patient 10 talk TO anyone
within reach are regarded as indica-
tions Of the harrassed and restless con-
dition of his brain, and physicians now
find in this inability to take repose, the
greatest menace TO his life.

Mr.. HARRISON SCARED.
He Fears That He Nay be Called Upon
to Veto a Silver Bill.
HE URGES ALL THE REPUBLICANS
In the House to Use Every Possible Means to Pre-
vent the Bland Bill From Coming to Vote at
This Session-TO Veto the Bill Might Cost
Him Several Western Delegations.
speetaL TeLeqram % Ms Rsgistsr.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 3.-Tom
Reed and the other Republican leaders
of the House have been lolling back In
their chairs expecting to have no END OF
fun with the Democrats because OF the
differences Of opinion on the silver
question.
Up to day or two ago the House Re-
publicans had pretty well made up their
minds to let the Democrats severely
alone, and not take any part whatever
in the pending contest as TO whether or
not the Bland bill should be discussed
this session or the discussion postponed
TO next session.
BY these tactics the Republicans eX-
pected 10 put the Democrats in the deep
est kind of a hole, as they felt certain
the extreme silver men would carry the
day, take up the Bland bill, pass it and
thus commit the party TO free silver
policy, although very strong element
of the party is utterly opposed 10 Tree
silver.
On the record the Democrats would
thus make for themselves the Repuoll-
cans expected to be able TO carry most
Of the doubtful States in the East. But
IL seems TO have been discovered within
the last couple OF days that II the House
passes the free silver bill and II goes to
the Senate it will also be very likely to
pass that body; thus the President would
be placed in the hole, which he so much
feared and so narrowly escaped from in
the last Congress, of havingsto veto the
bill.
While there are some Republicans
who seem TO think the President would
not be injured by such veto, the
President himself does not share these
views. He wants Congress again TO
save him from the necessity OF having
to veto a free silver bill. 1t may be
true that IL President Harrison vetoes
such bill it might not injure the Re
publican chances Of electlng President
Eext fall. Harrison not only wants
the Republicans to elect President
but he wants 10 be the man they elect
and be no doubt fears that silver veto
by him would greatly interfere with his
chances Of capturing delegates to the
Minneapolis convention in several
States of the West, so it is understood
he has made an urgent demand on the
House Republicans to do all in their
power TO keep the Bland bill from pass
ing that body.
II the bill is taken up it is certain to
pass, so the Republicans, to accomplish
the Presidents object, will have to act
with a view to postpOning consideration
OF the measure until next session. 1t
is said to-day they have already prac-
tically decided to do this, and they are
consequently expected to join with the
more moderate Democrats in trying to
secure the postponement of the discus
sion of the Bland bill until next session.
This is rather rough on the Republi-
cans, but it IS what might be expected,
as II is fact that both parties are di-
vided on the silver question.

Fltzsimmons as Well as Ever, but Maher
Looks Very Bad-Mitchen Wants to
Meet Sullivan.
NEW ORLEANS, La, March 3.-The
morning trains carried away many OF
the sports who saw last nights fight,
and there was a further and greater
exodus this evening. The Fasteners
generally are very anxious to get away,
for they plunged heavily on Maher and
are nearly If not quite broke.
Fitzsimmons had good nights sleep,
aud was up early this morning. by 10
o'clock he had come down 10 the St.
Charles, had registered, and was re-
ceivinC the congratulations of hundreds
of admirers. The Australian said he
felt as we'll as ever he did in his life.
He bore no marks resulting from last
nights contest. F'itZSimmons will
probably go back to Bay st. Louis for a
day or two, and then go North with
Carroll.
The Maher party were scattered this
morning. Maher did not show himself
on the streets to-day because OF the
damaged condition Of his face, which
this morning is very much swollen and
quite unpresentable.
Mitchell is in consultation with the
Olympic Club management, negotiating
for a fight with Sullivan. He says he
wants 10 try his hand against the
champion once more and is willing to
fight before the Olympic Club in Octo-
ber for a purse and will make bet Of
81, 900 on himself. Sullivan may be
offered an opportunity TO meet the
Englishman.

ditional alarms quickly brought the en-
tire department 10 the scene OF what
proved to be very destructive fire.

tage on account OF several OF the hre
plugs being out OF order in the imme-
diate vicinity. The following business

$50, ,OOOO Carried Away From the Cold
water, Mich, Bank by Burglars

COIDwATER, Mich, March 3.-The
Coldwater National Bank was robbed
last night. The estimated loss is $50, 600.
The robbers drilled the outer door Of the
vault and with punch broke the lock
off. The middle door was secured with
a paddock. This was probably broken
with a sledge. The inside vault con-
tained one burglar proof combination

with time lock. These were
drilled and charged, it is thought
with dynamite. The doors Of both safes
were blown completely of, wrecking
both safes and leaving nothing but
shell Of each.
There was no one sleeping in the
bank and the discovery was made by
one OF the employees on opening the
bank this morning. No one heard the
explosion. There is no clue TO
the robbers The bank offers $500 re-
ward. and the sheriff offers $500 addi
tional for the apprehension and con-
viction Of the thieves.
