SUICIDE OF PROF. HARVEY
Member of Faculty OF state University
shoots HIMSELF

Bangor, March 6.-Professor Leroy
Harvey of Orono, who filed the chair of
natural history at the University of
Maine, committed suicide about 8
o'clock this morning, the deed being
done In the store OF Fred II. Walton, a
short distance below the home of Pro-
fessor Harvey.
For some months Professor Harvey
had been breaking down in health which
led to temporary alteration, causing
him to take his own life.
For many days it was feared that he
would commit some rash act and he was
closely watched by members of his fami-
ly and friends.
Leaving his home this morning short
ly after breakfast, he wandered down
town and stepping into Mr.. Walton's
store, took advantage OF Mr.. Walton be-
ing out by going behind the counter and
deliberately taking a shot gun which Mr..
Walton kept.
He loaded it with shell filed with
No. II buckshot aud placing tho muzzlc
of the gun in bis mouth exploded the
shell, the contents and conclusion shat
tering nearly every bone in his face and
blowing off his head, death being instan-
taneous.
Coroner Hartwcll Lancaster of Old
town was called but deemed an inquest
unnecessary.
Prof. Harvey was born near Ithaca, n.
Y, In 1880 and moved with his parents
to Iowa in 1865. He was graduated
from the Iowa Agricultural college in
1858 and was connected with the faculty
and for two years was president of his
alma mater. lie was later connected
with Humboldt college, Iowa, and Ar
kansas Industrial university and in 1885
came to the University of Maine.
He leaves q wife and five children, the
oldest of which is in the junior class at
the University.

NEW ELECTION PROBABLE.
NEXT city Government Must Settle the
ward Four Muddic.

According 10 the requirements Of the
law, the Board Of Aldermen met ysstsr-
day noon 10 canvass the vots for mayor.
Az this meeting 10 was decided that the
elestiop IN Ward had nothing to do
with the board Of aldermen and that they
could NOT call . new election. Il was de-
cidsd that this special election In Ward 4
must be called by the incoming board
Of aldermen and 10 IL probable that the
elsptiou will not take plscs for 90 days
ct any rate.
In the meantime the two Democrats
who have received election certificates
will present themselves TO the Common
Council for qualification. The council
must decide whether these men have been
legally elected or not, and II they refuse
to seat them a new election for ward
officers will probably be ordered In Ward
4.
This 10 what win probably be done
as there has been come question raised
40 to the legality Of the election returns
from that ward and some doubt as to
whether Luther u. Roberts and George
Fs lnumhh are euttti~u W Sehts Az eho
Common Council.
Nsither Mr.. Connolly nor Mr.. Moore,
the candidates fer alderman In Ward 4
will be chosen In time 70 take part In
the organization Of the new city govern
ment. Mr. Connolly says that It insures
bis election In 30 days II the contest IL
postpossa that long as all Of the Office
seekers would turn out and Eelp alder
man Moore In Ward 4 II he were to have
chance to take part in the city govern
msnt organization. MIR. Connolly must
remember. however, that this will work
two ways, Hs even an alderman from
Ward 4 cannot vets for more than one
man In caucus for any one position.
At the meeting Of the Board Of Alder
man yesterday the usYa, vote OF thanks
to the mayor aud city clerk were passed,
and President Dow OF ths board was pre-
seated with the gavsl which he hs1 oooa-
sion to use but few times during the past
