LONDON, February S.-By the death
of Sir Morell Mackenzie, one hospitable
house has been closed for the season,
and series of magnificent entertain
mentS, at which many Americans have
always been present, has come to an
end. And yet Sir Morell and Lady Mac
kenzie did not lead an ideally happy
life. For some time the friction was
so great that only formal notes, when
necessary, passed between them. Lady
Mackenzie, however, was very proud of
her husbands talents.
Ever since the death Of Emperor
Frederick, when Mackenzie got into a
controversy with the German doctors,
be was changed man, while his
practice became less, and finally
dwindled to the theatrical profession,
whose members repaid his professional
services with photographs and boxes
which cost them nothing. His fees
were exceedingly high. He charged
thirty guineas for the simple operation
of cutting babies tonsils. But latterly
those fees were few and far between,
and what money he had left, the family
sDent in giving ''at homes" and dinners.

will have to pay $1,000 policy on his

viewed q lady named Miller, who was
working in a hotel here. The result of
this interview fastened Harland to the
County Clerks Office, and he secured a
license 10 marry Delilah +. Harland.
He then secured a carriage, drove TO the
hotel, and he and Mrs. Miller started
for their home in Carroll county in
bliSSful anticipation of wedding.
Amos Harland and Delilah Harland
had borne the marital relations before,
having been married in August, 1877.
They resided on a fine farm in Carroll
county, and gradually added to their
worldly possessions. No children were
born to them, but they lived happily
untu August 4. 1891, when they separ-
ated.
Mr.. Harland at once brought suit for
divorce in the Carroll County Circuit
Court. In his complaint he averred
cruel and inhuman treatment. To sub
stantiate this charge he said that his
wife heaped opprobrious epithets upon
him, the most CALLING Of which QueS-

of the fire became at once apparent 10

rung three more alarms in quick sue

When the flames were finally gotten
under control there was a
general inquiry as TO VINO

and Who had gotten out in safety.
Neither the proprietors nor attaches
could give the names Of but lew oil

CURED at 10 o'clock this morning and he
sank into an unconscious state In which
he remained until his death at 4:45 this

those at his bedside, but he realized that
the end was near.
The operation performed late last
night by DR.. Kean, OF Philadelphia,
Professor OF Surgery at the Jefferson
Hospital, aud DIR. Thomas j. Gnnott,
confirmed the previous diagnosis, that
he was afflicted with cancerous uicera-
tion OF the stomach. The physicians
gave the friends To understand that
death could not be far away; that few
DAYS at most would end rne soldiers
career. He was ready 10 meet the
enemy and calmly surrendered.
General McCleland's Illness dates
back TO the l4th OF November, when he
was taken violently Ill at his office. He
has been at the city hospital undergoing
treatment almost constantly since that
time. He went to Old Point Comfort n
few days in January, but returned In a
more enfeebled condition than when he
left. Governor Pattlson and other
friends were at his bedside last night.
An order will probably be issued the

been ordered to report here at once.
At the request of the dying man his
body will be buried In Allegheny ceme-
terry at Pittsburg. IL is thought tho
body will lie In state here tomorrow

North Fourteenth street, st. Louis. to-
night shot and fatally wounded his
mistress, Lizzie MaSsengale, who had
abandoned him for an advertising agent
named Frank McLain, and had fled to
this city. The girl is handsome bru-
nette, and was formerly a waitress in
McGuire's restaurant. She received

become intimate with her, began drink
ing heavily and treated her with great
cruelty, but that for time she protect
ed herself by plan that would soon
lose its force. He told her in a moment
OF confidence that after the Adams
Express robbery he harbored two Of the
thieveSan a dive in st. Louis. There
after, when threatened with violence at
his hands, she would say: II have it IN
my power to send you TO the peniten-

on his part lest she would expose him.
According to the woman's statement
Mcclure harbored three of the men i'm
plicated in the Adams Express robbery
from the time they committed the deed
for three weeks following. The men
were Sly, Beespath, alias Woods, and
some other one whose name she said she
could not remember.

Of a revolver he was forced into a cab
by McGuire and forced to show theway
TO the restaurant. He claims he did not
think Mcclure intended to kill the girl.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., February T.
Tie news that Blaine has written let
,sr declining TO be a candidate for Pres
dent, caused big sensation tonight,
.tb0ugh it was not altogether nnex-
gsc.ed.
There have been we'll defined rumOrs
,s5at for two or three days that Blaine

letter, but such rumOrs have so ire

when the exact contents Of the letter
we're learned opinions changed.

hat Blaine in no way indicated that he

Harrison, and that his references 10 the
issues on which the coming campaign
will be fought were so vague and gen

In short, after giving little thought
To- the letter and the time and the cir

toe general impression among poiItl-
clans was that il would not help Harrl-
son. There is still plenty OF time before
the Republican Convention for those
Republicans who have Presidential

In short, Blaine's action is accepted
