Cashier James A. Brandon of the Ma

posed to have been taken with suicidal in
tent. There is absolutely no ground for
such conclusion. Mr.. Brandon left his ac-
counts in perfect order. as he always
kept them. He had quite a sum in cash
TO his credit. besides other property. and
owed no debts Of any kind. He had suf-
fered for years with nervous trouble,
which threatened congestion of the brain.
He had been warned repeatedly by his
physicians 10 change his employment,
and he had finally decided 70 take their
advice. He was in Florida prospecting for
a new location. and had written cheer

in the paragraph and never had any

loved fondly. and everything TO live for.
While his health was poor. It was mall
ady that rest and change would cure, OF
which he was well assured and this rest

of the legislature have to-day been the
scene of long and exciting
debates, and the discussion of
the new Jacksonville charter
bill on second reading has packed repre-
sentative hall to suffocation. When the
bill came up, this being the same measure
as that introduced in the Senate by Mr..
Hartrdge, and for which that gentleman
afterwards offered a substitute. Mr.. Dancy
moved the adoption of the substitute,
which was finally carried.
Mr.. McCreary moved to strike out all
after the enacting clause and substitute
an amendment of his own, which was
lost
A motion was then made to submit the
entire matter to the electors of Jackson
Vile. which resulted in a tie vote.
The battle was resumed In the afternoon
and proved a heated one, but the tide had
turned since Saturday and the absence of
several of the Stockton-Barrs element
gave the ether side an advantage which
they made the most of.
The motion to submit the question to
the people of Jacksonville was revived
and lost by a vote of 80 to SO.
Mr.. Healy spoke at length against the
motion and in his most effective manner,
and was replied to by. Mr.. Brady, who
referred to his Inconsistency in deferring
TO the wishes of the Duval county delega-
tion in this instance, while he had ignored
them on the jockey club question.
Messrs. Clarke and Sullivan also spoke
against the motion.
The bill was finally ordered engrossed
for third reading and the chances are in
favor of its passage.
During the afternoon debate Mr.. Christie
declared in voting to table an amend

which was grinding them out by the
