died in an ambulance while, on his way
frcm Taylor's drug store on 9Th street, to
the Freedman's Hospital. I While the cir
cumstances under which the young mans
death occurred indicate suicide, no one will
in all probability, ever know just why or
under what circumstances, he swallowed
the deadly poison. The young man, 1t is
said, was of disspated habits and recently
he had been drinking heavily. When he
left his wife Saturday morning he said he
was going to the store, and she told him
she would see him during the day. But
ne did not remain at the store long enough
the store about l o'clock and left. 1t is
thought that he took poison of some kind
from the store with him, although he
probably did not swallow it until he reach
ed 1th and p streets, in which neighbor-
hood he had been in the habit of drinking.
He went into McGuire's saloon and an ac-
quafntance, who was in there at the time,
told him he was just in time to treat. He
had no objection to doing this, for he prob
ably thought it would be his last treat on
earth, and he would leave with his ac-
quaintances thinking him jolly good fel-
low. A glass of beer was his order, but
taken effect and he was so deathly sick
that he could not swallow 1t. So great
was the change in the mans condition that
those who saw him became alarmed and
took him to Taylor's drug store.
Died ON the Way.
The police Of the second precinct were
slow in responding to call for assistance,
but the ambulance from Freedman's Hos
pital mades quick time 20 the drug store.
DR.. Thompson had attended the man whose
condition was SO critical, but antidotes
seemed to have no effect on him. After
Dr. Thompson and one of the hospital sur
ceons ha, worked on McComas for some
time the dying man was put into the am
bulance and start for the hospital was
made, Before reaching the hospital, how
ever. the young man breathed his last His
body was sent to Undertaken Wrignt's S
establishment. AMI the coror er notified.
The deceased was a.nephew OF Judge Nc
Comas Of the Supreme Court OF the Dis

a prominent citizen of Ohio, died several
years ago, while his mother lives in this
city.

Deputy Coroner Glazebrook performed an
autopsy on the body of McComas to de-

death, or had died of heart disease, as the
Freedman's Hospital authorities declared.

being much irritated. In the latter was
found partly dissolved pellet, which cor
responded with number the dead man
had in a package in his pocket. Chemical
analysis developed that the pellets con-
tanned morphia and strychnine in large
proportions. SO there was further ques-
tions as to the cause of death.

vices, and the insurgents gained a great

mitted suicide when he saw he was de-
feated. Artillery was captured by the
insurgents and 400 Spanish soldiers deserted
and Joined them; the balance fed, half dead
and half alive, toward Bayamo.
Gen. Valdes was advancing from the
north toward Bayamo to relieve Gen. Cam
pos. after the latter's defeat at Valen-
zuela.
The country around Bayamo is nothing
but hills and holes full of water The hills
were all in possession of the revolutionary
forces, who were patiently awaiting the
Spanish troops, and had all the advantage.
After two hours hard fighting both sides
were out Of ammunition. Then came a
hand-to-hand combat with the deadly ma
chete. The Spaniards were completely
routed and fled III terror toward Bayamo

that had just arrived upon the scene of
