DR.. HERON'S SUICIDE.
Story Of His Love for
Ruby Russell.
ARGYLL TO GLADSTONE.
Claims His Argument Is Confirmed by
the Premier's Latest Article.

LONDON, Sept. 30-The inquest in the
case Of DR. Alexander Woodburn Heron,
who killed himself on Sunday morning,
while under suspicion of having poisoned
his mistress, Ruby Russell, was held
yesterday afternoon. After his examina-
tion, on Sunday, at the inquest on Ruby
Russell, DIR. Heron proceeded TO the rooms
he had occupied with her in Lille road,
shaved, went to Craven street hotel, and
there wrote letters half the night, and
on sunday morning took morphine and
cut his throat twice.
7, e testimony of Coroner Thomas, who
conducted the Russell inquest, was the
most interesting feature of the days in
quest. DR.. Thomas produced n letter,
which was written and mailed to him By
DR.. Heron on Saturday night. In this
letter DR.. Heron said:
As informed you today, did not intend TO
separate from Miss Russell. Therefore, now
20 TO rcioin her as quickly as possible. Unde-
niably her dC9' t,,,a not due % natural causes.
Existence to .ne in this wor!l is not worth
having, if, through myself my promised wife
took her own life. Apart from this, however,
the unfortunate circumstances of the death of
nay wife In Jamaica must attach suspicion 10
my li. This Is a terrible calamity, and ii 10
not worth while TO stay and fight it out.
gad Miss Russell lived life of happiness
rare ON this planet. Now, it appears her
death must have resulted from poison, and IL
seems to me that, had | noticed moro care
fully, not what was said, but the manner OF
saying IT,, my Toor darling love might be alive
still.
Ic1Hnot go through any more horrors for
the Igltry privilege Of continued existence,
therefore | take an overdose of morphine as
soOa as some other matters are satisfactorily
settled.
ALEXANDER WoADBURN HERON.
Coroner Barnes read the notes made on
slip of paper by DR. Heron after he had
taken the morphine. DR.. Heron noted his
sym toms every fifteen minutes after he
swallowed the morphine, and had eX'
plaaed that he lay on the floor to prevent
his alarming the house by falling from
the bed. When the morphine seemed to
wor.> too slowly, he wrote, he cut his
throsJ with q razor. One of the last sen
tencps was; at is terrible that man
should have such power over girl as
had over my darling"
Coroner Barnes told the jury, on the au.
shortly Of the coroner of Manchester,
lam, who is now in England, that the
death OF Dr. Ieron's wife in that city was
accidental
The verdict of the jury was that DIR.
Heron killed himself while temporarily
insane

ARGYLL TO GLADSTONE.

Lreland's Right to Call Herself Nation
Never Given to ANY British Colony.
LONDON, Sept. 3O.-The Duke of Argyll
replies in The Times to Mr.. Gladstone's 8
North American Review article. "That
articlc,' he says, "instead of refuting,
furnishes valuable confirmation Of my
argument That argument is not ad-
dressed to American politicians, but to
friends Of quite different class. / know
the influence guiding American politics,
and therefore attach no Importance to
the American ballot box. We are not
GOING 10 remodel our constitution in de-
ference 20 the opinion of American poll
tic.au-."
The writer proceeds TO argue that, al
though he was at the time of the Ameri-
can civil war in full sympathy with the
north on the question Of slavery, the ques-
tioa at first did not turn on slavery. but
on the right of secession, upon which he
had doubts until Mr.. Morley convinced
him that no part of the union had
the smallest right to secede without COM
mon consent
Mr. Gladstone he contends, "clinched
the argument against himself by claiming
that the people of Ireland never Essented
to ha act Cf the Union, and that Ireland
is therefore entitled to call herself ma
tipr-a tile never hitherto given to any
OF or greatest colonies, and never ac-
knovledged as belonging to any of the
states of Che Union. He has gone tn c
whole length of denying that there is any
obligatory force in one of the few organic
statutes existing in our constitutional
history. Nothing could have been better
served my purpose than to have drawn
this illuminating fash from the thunders
Of ilawarden, which will direct attention
to other zigzag and forked lightning when
we are more accustomed TO the glare and

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-The committee
appointed by the postmaster general to
examine into tho merits Of the eight
propositions submitted to the postofiice
department for more rapid dispatch of
mails between large cities and the post
Office stands and transportation terminals
in large cities by means of pneumatic
tubes or other systems has completed n
preliminary report on the subject and
presented it to the postmaster general
One proposition, the report says, Is more
favorable to the department than any
other, for the reason that no other pro-
posal offers indefinite terms (and without
obligation on the governments part To pur-
chase or renD to give a specific service of
practical character within the near
future. The committee deem IL proper to
make this particul ar proposition the sub
ject of a preliminary report
The offer in question was submitted by
the Pneumatic Transit company of New
Jersey, to put down in the streets of
Philadelphia, between the postoflce and
the East Chestnut street branch post
Office, pneumatic tubes connecting the
two offices, without expense to the de-
partment, and without charge for one
years use of the same and without liza
Iility therefor. The committee believes
this offer advantageous because 1t will
enable an immediate practical test of the
pneumatic system to be held, and recon-
mends its acceptance.
The postmaster general has accepted the
report, and the Pneumatic Transit COM
pany will be instructed to begin the con-
struction of its system for a test of SER

OF the Henry VI. whitney.
Boston, Sept. 30-Some one violated
Ihe rules of the road when the Ottoman
lpd Whitney met In mid-harbor Wednes-
day night. AS the matter stands now,
tho officers of the Whitney are positive in
their statements that the Ottoman was
the aggressor, and the officers of the War
rem liner are no less positive in saying
bhe collision was due To bungling on
boArd the Whitney.
As yet no report of tho collision has
been received by the steamship inspectors,
and there is only allegation and counter
allegation.
Wreckers are hard at work on the Whit

oompany's lighter Aid. Then divers will
patch the thirty-foot tearin her side. The
water VIII then te epumped out of her and
the Whitney wiIi be docked for repairs.
It Is thought she will be ahoat before sun
day.
The damage to her cargo Is roughly esti
mated at sl00, 600, partially insured. She
carried 5000 packages of domestic mcrchan
disc.
The sunkcn steamer was visited by many
sightseers yesterday. A diver, who spent
some time on the bottom, reported that
there is one great hole in the steamers

Full Bench Decision Relieves tho Hub
from Paying Bill of $4,000.
Boston, Sept. 80. The city Of Boston
will save over $4,000 by decision sent
down by the full bench Of the supreme
judicial court in the case of Cephas II.
Bracket vs. the city of Boston. This was
the suit brought to compel the city to
purchase at price of $4,000 the land In
Brighton which the city council voted to
purchase in 1889 for public park to be
known as Roger park.
After the vote by the city council,
Mayor Hart refused to sign warrant
upon the treasurer upon the ground that
the price asked was too great. The board
of aldermen of 1890 repealed tho order of
the board Of the previous year, and Mr..
Bracket brought this suit to compel the
city to carry out its contract with him.
The court finds that the city council has
not the power alone to make contracts Of
the kind in question, az the mayor is n
part of the government, and his sanction
is necessary to complete the agreement.
