4 MILLIONAIRE SUICIDES Mir. Peter McGeoch Shot Himself :, Through the Head. FAMILY TROUBLES CAUSEDIT His Wife Had Recently Filed Suit for Divorce
 From Him FOR lNCOMPATlBluTY OF TEMPER He Was Well-Known Speculator, and in 1888 He Attempted to Corner Lard
 But the Scheme Disastrous
 1y Failed.
INCOMPATlBluTY OF TEMPER

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov 27.-About 10:30 o'clock this morning Peter McGeoch, who lived opposite the National Soldiers Home in an elegant mansion, ordered his carriage to go to the city and then went upstairs. He was not seen alive after that. As he did not appear the ser wants became alarmed and instituted a search for him. Miss Annie Bees, who has been servant in the house for about a year, looked through the key hole of the bath room door, which was locked, and saw McGeoch lying on the floor with a revolver in his hands. He had shot himself through the mouth and death was presumably instantaneous. The ser- wants immediately notified Maj. w. w. Rowley, quartermaster of the Soldiers Home, an intimate friend of MT. Me Geoch, who immediately sent for MT. McGeoch's son, Arthur, who resides in the city. When found MT. McGeoch had on his business suit and was apparently ready to start for the city. The servants noticed nothing peculiar about his &C., tions before that time.
 MT. McGeoch's suicide is taken to be the result of divorce proceedings begun last Monday by Mrs. McGeoch on the
 
 ment.
 Mrs. McGeoch was Mrs. Libbey of Ken wood, suburb of Chicago when she met Mr. McGeoch. They were married about eight years ago at the Leland hotel, Chi cago. Since their marriage they have lived at the National Avenue homestead of MT. McGeoch. MT. McGeoch had three children, son and two daughters, who after his marriage occupied a house on Grand avenue which their father pro- vided. Since Mrs. McGeoch left the res idence one of the daughters, 1t is said, has been keeping house for her father
 No man was for years better known on the Chicago and Milwaukee boards of trade than McGeoch. He was a daring speculator up to the disastrous lard deal of 1883, when he attempted to corner the iard Of the country, which scheme failed Dana Wells, Jr,. of Milwaukee, was interested with him in the deal and long and acrimonious law suit followed.

Edward F. Egan, and there was not suspicious article in her cargo.
 If any offense has been committed 1t was done outside the capes and not in the Jurisdiction of this office.''
 United States District Attorney Ing ham, when asked about the detention of the Horsa, said:
 T have been instructed by Attorney General Harmon to detatn the steamer Horsa on charges of having broken the neutrality laws by landing a band of in- surgents, arms and ammunitions of war in Cuba. An investigation of the case will be made also"
 Captain Willburg, commander of the HOrsa, was shown copy of the affidavit made by the fireman, Emil Fredericksen. who swore to the landing of filibusters with arms and ammunition. After read ing 1t through he said:
 'I shall swear to the correctness of the entries made on my log book when called to do so before a court of 1n- quiry. Until then I have nothing to say The vessel was searched at San Antonio, and nothing contraband was found on her. The officers even overhauled the coal in her bunkers.
 'I had fireman on board when I left Philadelphia, whose name appears on my papers as E. Fredericksen. I sup pose he is the one who made this affi- davit. On my return voyage l stopped at six ports on the Jamaica coast"
 The Danish consul says that under the neutrality laws the United States gov ernment has the right to hold a vessel of any nation on charges until an inyesti- gation can be made.
 The Danish consul at this port has called a naval court of inquiry to meet them to investigate the charge against the Horsa.
 Ship brokers and others interested in the commerce of Philadelphia are pre- pairing a protest to be presented to Sec retary Carlisle and Attorney-General Harmon against what they deem the un- warranted detention of the steamer by this government at the instance of the Spanish minister. They claim that the action of the government in seizing yes sells under suspicion is driving ships out of the West Indian trade and injuring the commerce of the country
 Washington, Nov. N.-Attorney-G Gen eral Harmon declined to discuss the mat ter of the seizure of the Danish steamer Horsa. It is understood here that the detention was made on the request of the Spanish minister, Dupuey DeLome. The treasury department was advised by Col lector Read of his action in seizing the vessel, and stated it was done at the in stance of District Attorney Ingham of Philadelphia. Outside of this informa- tion treasury officials profess to be igno- rant in the matter.

THE MUDDY WATER.

The recent heavy rains have so stirred up
the streams tributary to the Potomac. as
well as that stream itself, that the water
comes down to Great Falls in condition
closely resembling that of liquid mud. The
amount of sediment is so great that in
flowing to consumers in this city through
the conduit, the mains and the pipes there
is not sufficient time for it to settle, and
the result is that every faucet in town has
been giving out, for several days past,
LIQUID that is repugnantly yellow, and full
