KIRBY TUPPER's SUICIDE.
The Letter He Left Fails to Throw
ANY Light on the Cause.

Charleston. S. c.. Sept. 2s.-The con-
tents of letter left by the late Kirby
Upper, who committed suicide in At
santa last Monday, have been made known.
The letter was a brief one. In it Upper
expressed the greatest affection for his
children and for his mother, but stated
that he felt overcome with remorse and
had decided upon taking his own life.
He also enclosed the sum of $50, which
he said was government money, and di-
rected his brother, S. 7. Upper, to whom
the letter was addressed, to pay it over
to the custom officer at the 2A.-anta expo
sitiOn, Mr.. Donaldson. The deceased was
what is known as a high roller, and it is
said that he spent all his fortune left
him by his father and a good deal given
aim by his mother to pay his debts. This
Will probably account for his remorse.
The immediate cause of his suicide at
this juncture would probably be explained
II it could be ascertained how and where
he spent Saturday and Sunday and Sun
Gay night preceding his death in At
lanta. 1t is not thought here that he is
defaulter. The large amount given by
his mother to pay his debts was given
some years ago. So far as is known here,
Topper was very clever and genial
man, and his popularity was great.

EPIDEMICs AT ST. LOUIS.
Diphtherin and Typhoid Fever Ram
pant in the City.

St. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 2S.-There is no de-
crease in the number of diphtheria cases
reported throughout the city, and it is es-
timated that nearly 1900 persons are suf-
fering from the disease. The health au-
thorities are at a loss to account for the
unusually large number of cases, but 1t is
believed that the disease has been aggra-
waited by the sudden and extreme change
IN the temperature during the past few
weeks. Another reason given for the
spread of the malady is failure on the part
OF the physicians to promptly report the
existence of diphtheria and the conse-
Quent lack of quarantine precautions.
No abatement in the spread of typhoid
lever is reported, and in some sections of
the city the disease is almost epidemic.
