SOUGHT SUICIDE.

In Debt and In Love. Wealthy Mans
 Son Attempts Self Destruction.
 BALTIMORE. July 2a-Hanson Il With son of wealthy parents, and prominent so- cially both here and In the Quaker City, attempted suicide yesterday morning by shooting himself in the head at the fash. ionable Mount Vernon hotel in this city. It is asserted that he also tried to shoot Walter B. Pierce, aged 2e. of this city, whom he was visiting, and whose apart ments at the Mount Vernon hs was sbar- ing when the tragedy happened. A vigor- ous effort was made to keep the matter from the police, who did not learn of it until late last night, and every effort has since been made Go keep the details from becoming public Everything seems Co point to the fact that withers had been drinking heavily of late; that he was do spondent over an unsuccessful love affair, was worried about money matters, and that If he really attempted to shoot Mir Pierce 1t was the result of nervousness or a temporary mental alteration. Mir. With. CTS wound Is serious, but not necessarily fatal.
 The story as told by Mir. Pieroc, the on- ly eyewitness, Is that he and Withers have been fast friends for several years, ire suently exchanging visits The young Philadelphian's parents have recently gone to Europe, and Withers came hero few days ago to visit his friend. MT. Pierce is soon to be married, and withers was to have been hts best man, and Pierce scouts the idea that his friend intsnded to kill him.

Tn. spnnish Main.

We write and talk glibly enough of the Spanish main. but when did tho phrase first come into use and what was it's exact geographical signihcanoef The prevalent idea. borrowed. we take it. from the delightful romance of West ward, Hop' seems to be that tho phrase was in common use among tho Eliza bethan sailors to signify that part of the great American continent on which the Spaniards had effected a settlement when we first broke into the Caribbean sea--that is to say. from Vera Cruz. in the gulf of Mexico. to the delta of tho Orinoco But we cannot find that the phrase was in use at that time. In tho pages of Hakluyt we read of the main. of the firm land. which is, of oourre. literal translation of the Spanish term "tierra firma," of tho mainland coast. of the coast of the Indies or of the West Indies, but of the Spanish main we have nowhere read
 Nor have we been able to find it in the writers of the next century. Dam pier does not use it, nor Lionel Wafer. nor the translator of Exqucmelin's "De Americaensche Zee Roovors" It is not 10 be found In Morgan's 's official reports of his buccaneering exploits. nor in Ringrose's narrative. nor in Sharp'a In the map engraved for Dampier's "Voy- ages" (I72p), the term firm land is em- ployed to designate the territory now occupied by the republics of venezuela and Colombia The original tierra firma of the Spaniards, according 10 Ulloa. included only the provinces of veragua. Panama and Darien, with the City. of Panama for it's capital.
 We may be in error. and certainly we do not profess that our researches have been exhaustive, but the earliest use we have found of the term the Spanish main is in ''The Journal of Admiral James" lately published. by the Navy Records society, where. on Nov. IA. l779. the admiral notes that he ''bore away for Truxilio on tho Spanish main." Truxillo being the port of Hon. duras Macmillan Magazine
