Suicide Of w. e. HAGEN

The Carson Tribune in speaking OF
the suicide of w. L. Hazen, says:
1t is apparent thEt deceased had
frequently talked with his son about
committing suicide and on the occa-
sion OF his recent visit to Lake Tahoe
wanted to jump into the lake, but
was dissuaded from it by his son.
He seems to have been respondent
ever since the death of his wife,
which occurred IN Sioux Falls,
South Dakota, about three months
ago.
The annexed found in the dead
mans effects, clearly indicates that
he intended to commit suicide by
jumping into Lake Tahoe on the oc-
casion of his recent visit to that
Lake:

KNOWS HIS CONDITION.

The Czar Wishes His Sons Marriage to be
Hastened.
London, October l9.-The Daily Chonicle's
Vienna correspondent says: 1.-THE Car is
entirely aware that his life is to be
reckoned by days. He expressly desires to
witness the marriage of the Czarewitch,
and therefore the ceremony possibly will
take place in the next few days"
he st. Petersburg correspondent of the
Times, says: ''lt is impossible longer to
ignore the persistent reports from reputable
sources that the Czar has cancer of the
kidneys"
Princess Alix Will be met in Warsaw by the
Russian Imperial family. and will proceed
with them to the Czar's bedside.
A despatch received from st. Petersburg
this morning confirms the report that the
Czar's trip to Corfu has been abandoned.
A representative at Livadia of the British
Medical journal. telegraphs that, as the re-
suit of interviews with the Czar's
physicians, he IS able to state that the
cause for fear of the worst has not been
lessened. The Cars removal to Livadia
has ben Gifted him in some ways, but he
grows weaker, and there is little hope of his
ultimate recovery unless he gets into
warmer climate and refrains absolutely
from the transaction of State business. Pro-
fessor Leyden thinks that Teneriffe or
Orotava, in the Canary Islands, would be
preferable to Corfu as wintering place for
the Gear; but the distance and His
Majesty's weakness render it hardly possible
for him to be taken there.
The Lancer, speaking of the illness of the
Gar, says that the character of His
Majestys disease, his pathclogic
condition. which is no two days alike. and
the deterioration of his blood, have led to
general state of perverted tissues and
nutrition, physical weakness, impaired
digestion and insomnia

Captain Banker Found Unconscious in the
street--His Gold Watch and Money
Missing.

New York, October 19.-CaptaiE James
A. Banker, well dressed, white-haired
and 70 years old, a member of an old
New York family, well known on the
central West Side, was brought to the
Yorkville court yesterday morning by
Policeman Haugh, of the West 47th
street station. The policeman told Po-
lice Justice Mead that he found Captain
Banker at about O'Clock in the morn
ing lying on the steps of No. 100 Sixth
avenue. near 5Sth street, insensble. Az
ter good deal of difficulty he succeed
ed in partially arousing him, but he
seemed to be dazed, and was una Bile to
tell where he lived. Haugh did not
know him by sight, but inferred that
he was well-to-do resident of the local
it who had been drinking too freely
after dinner. So he sumomnedl another
policeman and walked the old man about
the neigh borhood in the hope that he
would recognize his own house. They
walked past great many private dwell
lings, but. the old man made no sign,
although, as it afterward appeared, he
was led by his own door, No 242 West
5Sth street. Finally, the captain was
Jaken to the West 47th street station,
where ne was kept till morning. His
first question to the doorman on awak-
ening was:
where am /? What has happen ed ?
Where is my watch?n
The Captain declared that his watch
and chain were gone. He then felt in
his pockets, pulled out wallet, opened
it and exclaimed: My money is gone
too
The old man put his hand to his head
and seemed trying to collect his ideas.
Then, slowly shaking his head, he NUT
tered: / must have been drugged. Yes,
they drusged and then robbed me-"
This was all he would say. To Police
Justice Mead Captain Banker said that
he went out on Wednesday, and on re-
turning in the evening, he stopped at a
bar room in Third avenue, and got a
drink. He had no recollection of taking
more than Que drink. and almost imme-
diately he lost consciousness, aud knew
nothing more until he came to his sens
es in the police station. He said he
had valuable goldswatch and chain on
entering the liquor shop, and between
$40 and $50 in cash in his pocketbook.
He still had the pocketbook, but the
money was gone. He said he believed
that some drug was administered with
his drink.
Policeman Haugh made a charge Of
intoxicatiou that was dismissed. Cap
tain Banker is said to be wealthy.

" ashington, October 19.-The Maine has
probably earned a premiumm of $4,000 on
acc cunt of surplus horse power developed
by her mac chinery Wednesday on her trial
trip. The preliminary calculation of her
engine performance is completed, and there
seems to be no doubt of substantial excess
over the contract requirement. On account
of the amount of money at stake, the
official record is not to De announced until
thor roughly checked by independent COM
pilations. Careful estimates show that
about 80 extra horse power was developed
above the 900 demand by the.government.

Alarm Thereby Awakening the Firemen.
Especial to the PRESS)
Augusta, October 19.-About two weeks
ago false alarm was RUG in from box So,
situated at tns corner of Capital and Sewall
streets. AS the entsoccu1red in the dead
of night, the fremen did not relish being
awakened from sound sleep and were very
indignant. Reports were going the rounds
that two prominent young society men were
implicated in the affair; that a well known
business man was the guilty one; and the
names of many others were often mentioned
as being come cted with the case.
The city government offered reward of
$50 for the arrest and conviction of the
guilty persons; Chief Engineer Kicker Offer
ing like amount. But they could not be
found. Private detectives at work upon
the case tracked a horse and team to Cony
Brothers livery stable that night The
manager, Mr.. Martin Nolan, was asked to
divulge the names of persons who had
teams that night. But Mr.. Nolan would not
tell. So, of course, everybody thought that
Nolan knew something about the matter.
Marshal Bean set at work upon the case and
found many clues, but soon as one was
discovered it soon paled into insigniI1cance.
Today. Nolan. the man who was at the
stable the night of the affair, was summoned
into Judge Andrews's court. City
Solicitor Little conducted the case for the
city. NolaL's testimony did not turn out as
sensational as was expected. He said that
two sailors. one named Stevens. had hired a
team to go four miles in the country. They
returned just little while after the alarm
had been given. SO that they are thought to
be the guilty one.
Court adjourned till next Wednesday, when
it is expected more evidence will be OBJ
