l3.-The end of Camp Meade is in sight.
BY Thursday the entire Second corps will
have left for the new camps in the south.
Three regiments started today and three
more will go tomorrow. Gen. Young and
staff and the signal corps will be the last to

regiment not yet designated will stay be-
hind to guard government property.
Secretary Alger is SO well pleased with
this location that a portion of it may return
next spring.
The hospitals have been cleaned out and
on Wednesday their equipment will be sent

be Augusta, Ga. The troops will be scat
tered between that city, Athen, Ga, Sum-

siding in Los Angeles. Young Thornton
left the city about the 1st of November,
with the intention of trying to locate in
business in st. Louis. He had worked sew
eral years for the Simpson-Hack Fruit com
pany, but recently had not had very steady
employment. He possessed about 5000 in
drafts when he went away and with this
expected to purchase some business.
But why he should have taken his life
none of his acquaintance in this city could
explain. Glen w. Hack of the fruit COM
pany, who was the guardian of Thornton,
last night stated that Thornton had been
subject to bilious attacks, and on several oc-
casons before he wend away from Los An
geles his sickness had deranged his mind
somewhat. Mr.. Hack said he had received
letter from Thornton several days ago in
which the young man appeared to be in en-
cellent spirits, with the exception of hav-
ing bilious attack. In that letter he said
that he was about to consult with physi-
clan for aid. Mr. Hack said that the reason
of Thornton's act must have beer tempo.
rary alteration caused by sickness. There
was absolutely, so far as he knew, nothing
else which would have led the young man
to have committed suicide l.. d. Drake,
mentioned in the dispatch as the person to
whom Thornton had sent telegram re-
questing his aid, is thought to have been a
former school teacher of the deceased. 1t
has not been decided what disposition will
be made of the remains, as Mrs. Thornton
was not notified last evening.

senator and representative.

Associated Press Special Wire

PARIS, Nov. BIT is reported here
this evening that Dreyfus is dead. The ru-
NOR is understood to be based upon mys-
terious telegram received from Colmar, cap
ital of Upper Alsace, signed by an unknown
correspondent. So far as can be ascertained
there is no official confirmation of the re-
port. The father-in-law of Dreyfus dis
credits it. He says he has received excel
lent accounts from the colonial office quite
recently as to the irsoner's health. De-
spite these assurances, there are dark ru-
mors afoat In view of the curious manner
in which the letter from Dreyfus declaring
that he had abandoned all hope was con-
veyed to Mime. Dreyfus on Friday, many
people believe he is dead. A dispatch
from Paris Friday said that Nine. Dreyfus
had applied that day at the offire of the
minister of the colonies for permission to
send her husband some warm clothing for
his return home. The request was refused
on the ground that the government would
do whatever was necessary.
AN ALLEGED LETTER.
At the same time, according to the dis
patch, the authorities read her letter from
her husband to the effect that having for
five months addressed appeals for revis-
ion to General Boisdeffre (recently chief of
staff of the French army without getting
any reply, and being weary and exhausted
by his useless appeals, he would write no
more to his family or any one else. He de-
scribed himself as i'll and dying and be-
queathed to the generosity of my country
the care of rehabilitating my memory"
1t appears that Nine. Dreyfus then asked
permission to telegraph her husband the de-
cision of the court of cessation. This re-
quest was also refused. Then through a
friend she appealed to President Faure
with no better result. The dispatch said
her counsel would bring the whole matter
before the court of cessation.
MAY BE A HOAX
Careful inquiries made at Colmar thi,
evening show that nothing is known there
as to the death of Dreyfus. 1t il now be-
heved that the telegram was hoax.

STRANGE SUICIDE
OF CHARLES H. THORNTON OF
LOS ANGELES
BLEW OUT HIS BRAINS
AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE
SOUTHERN HOTEL
HIS LETTERS AND TELEGRAMS
Reveal the whereabouts Of Friends
But Afford No Explanation OF
the Deed

Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. l3.-A few min
utes before IL o'clock Charles IL. Thornton
of Los Angeles, CAL, committed suicide IN
a sensational manner at the Broadway en-
trance to the Southern hotel He was
guest of the Southern, occupying room 40.
Thornton came in from the west Saturday
night about lO3O After registering and
having his luggage taken to his room he
had placed in the hotel safe package con-
tanning money and valuables. He paced the
corridors all night, going in and out OF the
hotel, evidently laboring under great men
tai excitement. He did not retire during
the night, but kept pacing up and down,
keeping his own counsel. About o'clock
in the morning he got the valuables he had
in the safe and later received telegram
which seemed to add materially to his
troubles. He spent Sunday mostly in his
room, writing or wandering aimlessly
around the corridors. He was in and out re-
peatedly during the early part OF the even
ing. About 1890 he went to Faust's, in
the same block, where he procured and
drank bottle of beer Then walking back
to the main entrance, with head bowed
down on his breast, he suddenly pulled
revolver from his pocket, placed the muzzle
in his mouth and pulled the trigger, fall
ing dead on the sidewalk at the main en-
trance. Two ladies passing at the time wit
messed the grewsome deed and were seized
with Mysteries, adding greatly to the con-
fusion and excitement incident to the trag-
edy.
Thornton was sober all day and it is not
believed that he drank anything except the
bottle of beer just prior to his suicide. In
velopes addressed to Mrs. Isabella Thorn
ton, So1 West Eighteenth street, presuma-
bly, his wife; Glenn W. Hall, and Simpson
g. Hack Fruit company, all of Los Angeles,
Cal.
He was about 40 years of age feet
or 10 inches in height, of gentlemanly ap-
pearance, and wore blonde mustache.
Nothing is known as to his business here.
The telegram was from Bonneville Mo-,
signed Mrs. l.. d. Drake, and read: "Mr.
Drake is in st. Louis, will leave tonight"
and was in answer to the following: al.
d. Drake, Reform School, Bonneville, Mo-:
Come here at once. I need your assistance.
Answer at once. Charles II. Thornton.
Lindell hotel"
1t is evident from the above that Thorn
ton got his mail at the Lindell, though
stopping at the Southern.
He arrived in the city bn Sunday, the 9th,
stopping at the Moser hotel, where he paid
his bill Saturday, the 18th, going to the
Southern, as though he had just arrived on
the train.

MADRID, Nov l3.-El impartial says the
government has forwarded instructions to
Sencr Montero Rios, president of the Span
ish commission at Paris, and that Monday s
conference may be the last or the last but
one, "unless the American commissioners
modify their claims"
According to El Impartial, a member of

from General Rios, governor of the Visayas
islands, reporting the rebellion in the island
of Negros and announcing the departure
from Iloilo of the mail steamer Munoz, with

MAGoW's ovERDRAFTs
Can Not Be Collected From Rubber
Company Directors

TRENTON, N. j., Nov. l3.-Vice-C Chan
cellor Reed rendered a. decision yesterday
in which he holds that Mayor Frank A.
Mcgowan, president of the Trenton Rubber
company, overdrew his accounts in that
concern to the extent of at least $3.50, 900.
He also decides that Allen Magown, the
ex-mayor's father, and director of the
company, is civilly responsible for $1,000
of the drafts and that William p. Hayes,
aonther director, is responsible to the ex-
tent of $4,000.
Suit was instituted by Receiver Burd with
the idea of holding Allen Magown and Will
liam p Hayes responsible for the ex-mayors s
overdrafts, on the ground that they had
been negligent in their duties as directors.
The vice-chancellor expressed himself
pretty freely as to Magown's reckless con-
duct in using the funds of the company for
his own personal benefit, and says that it
is clear that Allen Magown and Hayes were
negligent in their dealings, but they can
only be held responsible to the creditors
from the time they knew the company to be
insolvent.
