Irvine, a we'll known man, committed
suicide at Mrs. jenkins boarding house
this morning at 4 o'clock by drinking
chloroform. He left three letters, one
addressed to his sister, one to Mrs. r.
A. Weld, Warren, Pa, and a note read
ing:
mo one knows what I have suffered,
but it's done now. Boys, take warn
ing"
Young Irvine WAS twenty.six years Of
age and came here ten months ago with
tho Natural Gas Company. He took Q
good social position at once and was
very popular on account OF his attractive
qualities and personal magnetism. His
downfall was caused by liquor. He
was a graduate OF the Dwight Keely
Cure Institute and since then has been
drinking very hard.
Financial trouble with the First Ma
tional Bank was probably the direct
cause of his downfall, and his sad death
is added TO the long list OF unusual
deaths and tragedies that have shocked
this community in the last few weeks.
Irvine's home is in Warren, Pa. he
conducted successful business in put
ting in natural gas lights until recently,
when he sold out.

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.

win Adjourn Thursday Until After Now
Years-The Hawaiian Affair.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. Ill is the
present intention Of the powers that be
in Congress to adjourn Tor the holiday
recess next Thursday until January 4
Of the new year The tariff debate
which the Democratic leaders had
hoped to enter upon before adjourn
ment, cannot now begin until after the
recess, although the bill be reported on
Tuesday or Wednesday. The four days
before the adjournment promise to be
busy ones.
Alter tho urgent deficiency is disposed
OF, the New Mexico statehood bill,
which is the special order after the
morning hour, will again come forward,
and it is expected that it will go through
tomorrow afternoon or Tuesday, pro-
vided the Democratic quorum remains
intact. II the Republicans tilibuster
and the quorum breaks, the house may
be dead-locked for the rest OF tho week.
as far as business after the morning
hour is concerned.
THE HAWAIIAN MATTER.
The transmission OF the Hawaiian
correspondence by the President may
lead to some debate on this question IN
the open house. Much, however, will
depend upon the nature OF the corre-
spondence, and the instructions given
to Minister Willis aud the tenor OF the
Presidents message. On the highest
authority it can be stated that the
Presidents message Transmitting the
correspondence will show that the adj
ministration has done all in its power
by the aid OF diplomacy to
right the wrong from its stand
point done the Hawaiian monarchy,
and that the situation is now one for
the Congress OF the United States to
deal with. In other words, that diplo-
macy has failed to restore the condi-
tons exiating prior to the revolution,
and Congress must now decide whether
other means arc to be employed. The
message will also remove the last doubt
about disagreement between the
President and his secretary OF state. 1t
will show that Mr.. Cleveland and Sec
retary Gresham have been in perfect
accord from the first.
