Gov. William McKinIey's Manage Shuts the Colored Brother Out
 at Jacksonville.

JACKSONVILLE, March 27.-Gov. William Mckinley of Ohio and party arrived in the city tonight and an informal reception was rendered him by the board of trade at the St. James hotel. Two hundred promi lent citizens wero present. Governor Mckinley had consented to a formal reception, but the programme was changed, it is said because of the governors. illness. He was advised last night by his physician not to appear in public, but when informed of the charac- ter aud number of the crowd went down for twenty min utes. The committee hav- ing charge of the arrangements kept the movements of the governor n secret all of yesterday for the purpose of shutting out the negroes, who, when they learned the governor was to be received, sent him an invitation for for ma rt tcepiiop. No negroes were present at the Lotel and but few at the depot.
 General Osborne of Boston, who is with the Mckinley party, is said to have been especially anxious 10 prevent the negroes from participating in the. reception to Gov ernor Mckinley, as he feared that the pres- ence of the colored brother would render of no avail the attempt to build up white republican party in the south, which IS said to be the programme of McKinley's managers.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
A Young Actress Killed by Her Lover, Who in Turn Ends His
 Own Existence.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Murder and sui eide were committed some time today in the furnished room house No. 15 West Twenty fourth street. What led to the tragedy may never be known, for nothing was left to indicate any reason for the mad acts. The perpetrator of them was John Bigelcw, an actor, and the scene of the tragedy was the room of Miss Amy Thill, his victim, who was also an actress. It appears that he killed the young woman by firing three shots into her and then shot himself in the head.
 Miss Thili occupied a room in the house with her two sisters, Alice aud Marie, and Bigelow was frequent caller upon them.
 shortly after 10 o'clock this morning Martha Coleman, wife of the janitor of the house, heard four sharp reports. and thinking water pipe had burst she sum- moned her husband and tt ey examined the pipes, but found no breaks.
 It was Miss Thill's custom to rise about noon, but she did not appear. and during the afternoon 1t was decided to break open the door of her room. When this was done horrible sight was presented. On the floor, with his head near theifoot of tn @ bedsteaa and his feet in the alcove, lay Bigelow. In his right temple was a hole, from which the blood had ceased flowing, while blood was spattered on tae wall. Clutched in his right hand was a revolver, with four or five cham oers empty.
 In the alcove lay the body of Miss Thill. Her head was near the door, while her feet were under the washstaud. She was partly clothed. In one hand was towel; near by stood basin with water. Her face was covered with blood. There was one bullet hole under her left eye, another in her left cheek and third in the left side of her head. She had evidently been washing, and had been shot while standing with her left side towards her slayer. On one of the bureaus in the room lay two letters in the woman s handwriting, one addressed 5. s. Harsch, the Standard, l155 Broadway, and the other to Madame Thill, SIP Mill street, Minneapolis. Mnp. The second letter, it is believed, was for the dead woman 8 mother. Her family are said to be we'll to-do.
 The coroner, after being duly notified by the police, viewed the bodies and gave a permit for their removal to an undertak ing esta ablish ment. Meanwhile the two sisters Of the dead woman, Misses Alice and Marie, at present with a theatrical com pany in Erie, Pa., were notified.
 It was learned tonight that Blgelow was the son of J. Bigelow, a retired lawyer and ex-nayor of Morristown, N. J., and that he hso claimed 10 have wealthy relatives in brooklyn aud in the south. It was said that Bigeiow had been very gloomy since he lost his position last Christmas and had been drinking heavily.

A CINCINNATI BANK,
The Oldest in the City, Goes to the Wall With Crash-Much
 Excitement.

CINCINNATI, March 27.-The Commercial bank, located at 1S2 Main street, assigned this afternoon to w. H. Campbell, it's cashier. The decision to go out of business was reached but half hour before the as- sig n ment was made.
 The bank was compelled to make good $50, ,000 worth of bad paper yesterday. When the bank sent it's paper to the clear ing house this afternoon the directors Of the association, on motion of Cashier Guthrie of the National Lafayette bank, suspended payment ou the paper and orr dered an investigation of the banks con- dition. Ibis move proved fatal, and pre- cipitated the failure, which has been I'm pending for some time. The directors of the bank were hastily called together, and the attorneys were ordered 10 draw up the deed of assignment, which was filed few minutes later.
 President Foote said that the bank will be able to pay dollar for dollar. The bank is the oldest in the city. It was organized in 1881. Charles B. Foote is.president. The bank Las a paid up capital of s32S, ,00O and surplus or s4o,- GOO. Its average deposits were S490,- o10. The stock was divided into shares Of $50 each, aud very little trading was done In it. It was quoted at 92l5 asked. When the rush was made to the bank il was closed and the iron doors were locked tight. The rumor soon gained circulation and crowd of anxious depositors congregated in front of the door.
 The Commercial bank was one time the main bank for the steam boats, and the Pendletons and Thomas Sherlock were heavily interested.
 The opinion on Third street is that the crash came about through bad manage meut.
 Swing & Morse, attorneys for the bank, and Robert Clark & Co. are among the heaviest depositors.
 The tank has been rediscounting 1t, own pap-r for two weeks, showing con. clusively that failure was inevitable.
