W. W. KitteIl was a clerk in the Record
ana Pension Division Of the War Depart
ment. He was a native of Loup City, Nebr.,
and was appointed from that State in 1891
to his present position. When he first came
TO this city he tonk up his residence at No.
925 Z street northwest, at a boarding
house kept by Miss Lizzie Freedman. He
roUmed with Charles II. Gray, young man
with whom he had grown up In his native
state.
He boarded with Miss Freedman up to
TWO years ago, when ne went to live at the
Maryland House, on Seventh street, lust
above the boundary
Here ne formed the acquaintance Of Miss
Olive Wyl!e, the 2O-year-Old daughter OF the
hotel proprietor. Kitteu was almost con
slant in his attention 20 the young lady
from the fret, and their friendship soon
ripened into love. The young couple were
engaged to be married, ana it seems the
wedding was fixed for last Saturday. all
arrangements having been maze by them
TO have the ceremony performed III Balti-
more on that day.
Mr.. Arlington 2. WyIe. brother OF Miss
Wylie, stated last night that the wedding
party consisting OF himself and sister and
MI. httttL4, were 10 ave StdIieu LOT Istlll-
more on the 10 O'Clock train Saturday over

as arrangements could be- perfected
On Saturday morning, bright and early,
Mr.. Wylie ana his sister dressed themselves
for the trip, she being attired i'll her we'd
ding gown. They waited KittelI's coming
but he did not come near the Wyliedomicile.
The brother then called upon Mr.. Charles
Gray, vino was KirteHs room mate. He
saidhe knew nothing whatever OF the missing
man.
The Wylie famsly did rot hear anything
from kittsll until they received telegram
yesterday announcing his suicide at Pitts
burg. The note found on the dead man,
Mr.. Wylie said, was handed Kitten two
years ago by the young lady, after he had
broken an engagement with her to attend
a party. 1t had, he added. DO bearing
on the suicide.
Mr. Wyiie left for PittSburg last night
and will bring the remains TO this city
ii The arrangement is satisfactory 10 the
dead mans family
Mr.. Gray also left for that city a 6 o'cloCk
last night. Mr. Gray was not certain what
was to be done with thecorpSe, but expected
to have definite news upon his arrival at
Pittsburg. Mrs. Strange, the landlady of
No. 1919 Eighth street, where the two
friends had been rooming for the last five
or six months, said that Mr.. Kittell was
no doubta very sick man when he left here.
He had been suffering for n long time wit.

of His Recent Deposit.

of His Recent Deposit.
In view of the constructions that have
been placed upon Mr.. Spofford's state
ment that he recently paid to the Treasury
the sum of $22 400 Oh his accounts, til,
Librarian OF Congress desires that the
following explanation be made public:
He states that the payment was what
he had found to be the approximate bal
ance between two acCOunts-the Treas
ury owing him for several monthly dis
bursements of library salaries, and he owing
the Treasury copyright fees, the adjust
ment of which had been delayed by his en-
grosSment in pressing labors, preventing
close scrutiny and prompt balancing of
accounts.
During the entire time of this delay,
running from October, 1898, he had con-
tinued to pay into the Treasury every
two or three months copyright fees to the
amount OF over 500 900 in 1894 and 1895,
exclusive of.the $22 400 referred to-
This was the plain state of the case
delayed adjustment of accounts, and not
a shortage, as had been widely repre-
sented. He distinctly denied that the
recent deposit was to make good any
wrongful Withholding of moneys due to
the government.
