A Cranstnn potter's Death.

New York Feb. 1--News has just reached this city of the death of H. Cranston Potter at San Francisco under suspicious circumstances. Mir. Potter was a wealthy wheat merchant of Taco ma, Wash, and went from that city to San Francisco more than week ago. Last Friday night MT. Potter spent with several friends in seeing the sights of San Francisco. MT. Potter became separated from the party and his dead body was found Saturday morning upon the beach near the Cliff house. An au- topsy made at the morgue showed that death had been caused by drowning.
 Mr Potter was very prominent in Ia coma society and business circles, and his friends are unable to account for his peculiar death. Some of his friends in Tacoma suggest that lie was murder ed, while others think that he took his own life on account of financial troubles The body, which lay in the San Francisco morgue for several days, has been taken to Tacoma.
 MT. Potter's father, Howard Potter, is a member of the banking firm of Brown Bros & Co. of this city. The dead man was brother of James Brown Potter of this city.

The cooler weather will reach here to- night It will be from 10 to Ia degrees colder in this city and it's environs to- night and tomorrow morning. The temperature in Minnesota ranges from zero to Is degrees below. At Win nipeg it is 30 degrees below zero. The weather this morning was fair over the entire country.
