A Government Official Com
mits Suicide.

DIR. III. Il. Cresson, a United States official
in the chronological department, was
found dead on doth street, New York, last
night with bullet in his brain. 1t is sup
posed thet it was case of suicide. The re-
mains were identified by letter addressed
to the deceased from Mrs. Anna r. Percy
OF Providence and there was also another
letter written by Dr. Cresson and directed
to CortiRndt Dorrance, 9 Benevolent
street this city.
DR.. Cresson was here all last winter at
work on his government reports relative to
chronological Investigations in Central and
South America and he chose Providence
for bis temporary residence because ne
had several intimate friends here among
the local artists and his wife and family
were in Europe. He left here last March
and from his letter written at his home
in Philadelphia his friends here
inferred that he was to continue
his researches in the South. Aside from
the fact that the doctor was lonesome
without his family, his friends know OF
nothing that could have made him de-
spondcnt. There was, however, found
on the dead mans person some pa
pers making vague illusions to an
unjust accusation of crime of which he
claims TO be innocent, although his ac-
cuser - a relative. 1t is true that he had
an uncle and the two men cordially hated
each her, but there had never been any
open hostilities. The doctor, be-
fore he entered Government en-
ployment, held high position lin Pea
body Museum, Howard. He had not
praci iced medicine for 10 years.
His name was originally Hilborn
Thompson, but when he married
had his name changed to Cres-
son. the maiden name OF his
bride, by act OF the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature in order to please his wife's par
ents.
He leaves wife and two adult sons.

SHORT RAISlN CROP.
By The Associated Pres,

FRESNO, Cal, sept. THE general re-
port throughout the raisin vineyards is to
the effect that the first crop, while of good
quality Is falling far short of expectations
in quantity. one of the leading vine
yards which had 1865 tons of first
crop rsisins lust year, already has
the crop now on the trays and finds
il will amount TO GS tons. The second
crop in this instance is also tar short OF
That OF last year. IL is plain now that
even with most favorable weather, for
drying and hauling the first and second
crops, the output will be less than for the
past three years.
