MACEo's DEATH-Private adyices
received in Key West, Fla, last night
from Havana confirm the report of the
death of the son of Maxine Gomez,
and on account OF certain letters found
on the body the Spaniards report the
death of Maceo. In letter which was
addressed to his parents young Gomez
stated he would not abandon the body
of Maceo, but would die at his post.
He said he had been wounded in two
places, and to avoid falling into the
hands of the Spaniards he intended to
commit suicide.
1t is reported that Maceo's body is
buried near San Pedro or Poturo La
Matilde, both of which places are thick
ly settled. Spanish troops have been
sent out to iud the body and bring it
into the town, and great confidence is
lelt at headquarters that they will be
successful.

THg FALLs CHUgcE Po=ToYFTCg.-
Considerable feeling ha= been manifest
ed among democrats Of Falls Church
over the appointment OF a republican
az principal deputy postmaster oy the
incumbent OF the postoffce-a demo
crat appointed at the commencement
Of the present administration. Mr.. :.
K. Newton, the cumbent, having
changed hia business, appointed Ir. {.
F. Croker &c deputy, who took charge
Of the Office come days ago. Mr. Crock
er was the incumbent of the Office for
four years under the republican adj
ministration and conducted the affairs
Of the Office satisfactorily, and no COM
plant is now made on that score, but
the postmaster having moved his family
to Washington, it is claimed ne has
thereby vacated the Office, and, pur-
suant to notice, meeting OF democrats
was held Tuesday night, at which
some thirty where present. Mr.. W. b.
Shreve presided, with Mr.. A. Davis, jr.,
81 secretary, when g resolution asking
the department to declare the Office va
cant was offered and adopted, and
committee, consisting of William 81.
Shreve, A. Davis, j., r. W. Birch,
Samuel Thompson and George Bruner,
was appointed to wait on Hon. E. E.
Meredith and lay the matter before the
Poatoffice Department. This was done,
AZ stated in yesterdays GAZETTE.
Among those whose names are men
toned for the appointment, should the
Office be declared vacant, are Y. Y. Ter
rett, J. NJ. Newton and r. w. Birch.
The other republican applicants and
their friends are watching the matter
with lively interest. They think If
Crocker is ousted, that they will stand
a better show when Mckinley comes in.

When John Kehona got through
work yesterday afternoon he proceeded
to fill up on bad wine, and when his
capacity was reached he went to his
home on Punchbowl street, opposite
Cunha's nursery. The house is a small
one, and one room is occupied by a
brother; in the house adjoining mar
ried sister lives.
Kehona's mother resides further up
the street, and when he reached home
he was struck with a desire to call
on her, and when he arrived at the
house he found the door locked. Some
the key had been deposited with a
friend down the street. Returning
there and not finding the key, he
went back to his house and sat down
in his room. One of his brothers sat
on the veranda and the two conversed
about their work until suddenly John
remarked that he was going to kill
himself
Before he could be prevented he
drew his pocket knife and jabbed the
large blade into his left side below
the heart
The police were teIephoned to and
the police express wagon was sent to
the place with Dr. Emerson. A cur
sorry examination of his injuries was
made by the doctor and the wounded
man sent to the hospital.

feet of the company the deceased was
put in charge of her as captain. This
position he retained until his illness
prevented the discharge of his duties.
About a year ago he was attacked
with dropsy and gradually grew worse.
He also suffered considerably from
fatty degeneration of the heart. Yes
terday he ate his breakfast about nine
o'clock and shortly afterward was at
tackled with spasms and before he
could recover from the first he had a
second attack and he had no strength
to fight the battle and he passed peace
ably away.
