A MERIDIAN SENSATION.
John Sullivan, Young Business Man, Com mitted Suicide by Taking an Over
 dose of Laudanum.

Meridian, Miss, Oct. 14.-(Special)- Quite a sensation was caused late this evening by the announcement that John Sullivan, a young business man of this city, had committed suicide by taking an overdose of laudanum. 1t seems that Sullivan, upon going to his home on Twenty-eighth avenue about 3 o'clock this afternoon, went into his room, where he was found about an hour later in an unconscious condition. An empty two ounce laudanum bottle found near his bed told the tale of the purpose to end his life. A physician was summoned, but the unfortunate young man had passed beyond all succor before the doc tor reached him.
 Sullivan was 32 years of age He was born and reared in Meridian and leaves wife and child. He has led lately a dis sipated life and has been involved in some petty violations of law that car ried him before the courts and it is thought by some that he became despon- dent on this account, notwithstanding the cases against him had been compro- missed or settled, His family does not be- lieve, however. that he really intended to take his own life and they hold to the opinion that his> death ayas accidental and unintentional

NOTED FISHERMEN
HAVE ARRIVED AT THE WHITE HOUSE
They Did Not Get Sea Sick and We're Not Scared While Being Tossed About
 at Sea.

Washingt ton, Oct 15.-The president ar rived in Washington at o'clock sharp. He was accompanied by Private Secre- tary Thurber and D. c. Benedict, who has been for the past four days his host on board the steam yacht Oneida. The party boarded the yacht off Gray Gables and started down Buzzard's Bay about 5 o'clock last Friday afternoon. A rough sea was encountered, which tossed the little vessel about in a most uncomfort- able manner the greater part of the night, but the president and MT. Thurber proved good sailors, and suffered no particular inconvenience during the run to Sands Point, near New Rochelle, at the western end of Long Island Sound, which was reached about o'clock Satur- day.
 The Oneida remained at anchor all day, the president desiring to fish, but it rain ed hard all day and prevented any sport. On Sunday morning the yacht moved down East river and anchored off Twenty-sixth street, the party going ashore and dining with Dr. Bryant. Sun day afternoon the yacht proceeded down the bay, anchCTing for the night a short distance from Sandy Hook Had not the weather outside been too threatening there would have been no break in the cruise at this point, but the indications pointed to a heavy blow during the night, and as there was no particular hurry for reaching Washington, it was decided to wait for daylight.
 Promptly at o'clock the Oneida put to sea and set her course for the capes of the Chesapeake From Sandy Hook as far as the entrance of the Delaware bay the ocean was exceedingly rough and the Oneida rolled badly but all the party declared that she behaved wonderfully well and all on board claimed to have reported at every meal between Gray Gables and the White House. The sea SubSided after Delaware was passed and salutes were exchanged with num- Der of coasting steamers. Cape Henry and Cape Charles light were abeam at 1 o'clock this morning, and about day break the Potomac was entered. No in- oident occurred until the yacht was rec ognized and cheered at Mount Vernon.
 The president was met at the wharf by his carriage, which drove him rapidly through the city, reaching the White House accompanied by MT. Benedict at 4:15 o'clock.
 The president has improved notably in appearance during the summer, and is evidently in excellent health. In addi- tion to the recreation he secured at his seaside home, he managed to keep up with all current business which demands his attention, and in consequence he re- turns to find no accumulation of work on his desk, except 0 number of vacan- cies created during his absence. and for which in most instances he has prac- tically determined on the appointments he will make.
 Private Secretary Thurber Is also much refreshed by his vacation. He had lots of good fishing during the summer, and attained a very becoming tanned skin.

Lexington Results.

Lexington, Ky, Oct 15-The 1895 meet of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breed ers' association has thus far been a high class, and the several days show that interest is unabated, giving evidence that if will be the most successful meet ing in the history of the association.
 only two events reached conclusion this afternoon and in neither case did the first choice win. The Wisconsin stal- lion B. B. P ruled as choice in the S500O stallion representative stake and on form should have won, but Baron Dillon was inc hest horse and won. Gentry did not handle B. B. P. just to suit the crowd and a shift on the betting caused the judges to think that something was wrong. In the fifth heat Billy Andrews took the ribbons by request and could not have lost had B. B. P. remained on "a trot, as he was making gradual but certain gain near the seven furlong, but shifted to a pace and then a break and Dillon won a brilliant victory in 212A.
 Two of the prime choices in the 2:16 trot. Lyric and Rotta Soap, won a heat each.
 Tomorrow will see the prime event for the free for all pace, in which Robert J., .John R. Gentry, Joe Patchen and Frank Agan wilt meet, and it will be the betting race of the meeting. Another special race of interest will be the 2:11 trot, in which several of the Transvylia starters will battle for honors.

Within the Twelve-Mile Limit. But on Her
 Usual Course.
 Quarantine Staten Island, Oct. 15.- Captain Seiders of the Atlas Line steam CT Alene was not inclined to talk about the report that his steamer had been fired on by a Spanish gunboat off Cape May on the outward trip. He did say, however, that on the morning of September 26. when passing Cape May a short distance from the place where the American steamer Allianca had similar experience, he sighted Spanish gunboat heading toward him. The Alene was steering her customary course, and was off Cape May; light, about three miles from the shore. When about two miles further on he was surprised by a shot from war vessel, which was fired in his direction. This shot was followed by two others in quick succession Cap tain Seiders immediately stopped his ves- sel and set signs asking what was want ed. The Alene also had all her usual colors flying at the time. No answer was made by the gunboat, which soon after steamed away. Captain Seiders report ed the incident to his agents and the British authorities. Captain Seiders can not account for the strange action of the Spanish naval officer, as he was proceed ing through the windward passage, which all of the steamers of his line are accus- toned to use on frequent occasions. He is unable to give the name of the gum boat,

 Prof. Arnold of the University of New York: 1T consider that each and every ingredient of oleomargarine but ter or butterine is perfectly pure and wholesome, that the oleomargarine butter differs in no essential manner from the butter made from cream. It is great discovery, blessing for the poor, in every way perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article.

This will help the steamer to get liberty soon if the charges that she is a filibusterer can be disproved.

 Morris Park Race Track, Oct 15.-The Westchester Racing association began it's meeting at this track today. The weather did not smile upon the proceedings. It rained steadily all the afternoon. The attendance, despite the weather was quite large. The changed conditions of the going caused many withdrawals, but the scratches were not of sufficient num- Der to rob the card of all interest. The features today were the Nursery stakes for 2year-olds and the Manhattan handi- cap, with nearly all of the crack handi- cap horses in it. In the former event Ben Brush, the favorite, clearly demon- strated his superiority over all this year crop of 2-year-olds He won the race quite handily from Hazlet. The heavy track caused Clifford to evade meeting Henry of Navarro in the Manhattan handicap. Counter Tenor, the added starter in this event, rushed to the front and piloted the field to the brow of the hill, where Calico took command. and then Sir Walter. Henry of Navarro, who had been taking matters easily rushed to the front in the final sixteenth, and won very easily by an open length.
 Couner Tenor beat Sir Walter, who collapsed utterly in the last twenty lengths, two lengths, for second money. Altogether the slent did not fare badly on the opening day. as three favorites passed under the wire winners.

 crats for Johnston for Governor.
 Centreville, Oct. 14-(Special Corre- spondence )-Farmers in this county will finish picking cotton within the next two weeks. The citizens of this place are very much pleased with the State Her aid. Politically, everything is very quiet in this county, The financial question is discussed very little. There is no doubt that large majority of the democratic voters of this county are for Captain Johnston for governor Some Of the strongest advocates of the single gold standard in this county are strong John ston men. They have too much sense to notice the malicious thrusts that some of the newspapers of the state are mak- ing at him. They know he is demo- cratic to the core, and has done good and valiant service for the party. Cap tain Johnston is in every way fitted for the office of gov e1nor of Alabama, and the demo- cratic party owes him the nomination. Your correspondent has been informed that the republican party will place ticket in the field for the county officers In this county. There are about l200 re- publican voters in this county. and the leaders say they do not Wanl any pup ulites in theirs.
