GRISSOM, ALIENIST,
TAKES HIS OWN LIFE
Had Been Detected and Morose for
Weeks and Was Weakened BY
Narcotics.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 27.-Dr.
Eugene Grissom, once we'll known as
an alienist and neurologist, committed
suicide here today at his sons home
by sending a bullet through his brain.
DR.. Grissom had been detected and
morose for several weeks and had be-
come physically and mentally weaken
ed from the use of strong narcotics.
He was a native of Granville. N. c..
served on the Confederate side until
wounded during the Civil war, and
afterward was a member of the state
legislature. For twenty-one years he
was superintendent of the North Caro-
liza insane asylum at Raleigh and
gained wide reputation as an alien
iSt and lecturer. Before the American
Medical society he delivered a lecture
entitled "The Rorderland of Insanity
that attracted great attention. He was
the author of .sTrue and False Ex-
perts," work devoted to showing the
alleged inaccuracies of the expert tes-
timony in insanity cases.
DR.. GriSsom was one time first vice
president of the American Medical So
ciety and several times presiding Of
f1eer of the association of the super
intendents of American insane asy-
lums. He was the president of the
convention of 1876. He was a Mason
of high degree. He was. seventy-one
years of age. DR.. Grissom at one time

ABSORPTION BY THE
ATLANTIC COAST LINE
Belief That Moree. Has Disposed of
the Louisville G. Nashville
Railway.

BALTIMORE, Nd, July 27.-It is i'm
possible to obtain an authoritative ex-
preston OF opinion on the rumOr that
negotiations are pending looking to the
absorption by the Atlantic Coast line
of the Louisville &, Nashville railroad.
which is controlled by J. Pierpont Nor
gan & Co. The report that the Coast
Line company will get the Louisville
q Nashville has been freely discussed
in financial circles here and the gen
eral impression prevails that it is well
founded.
Il think Mr.. Morgan has already
practically turned the road over to
the coast line" said a member of one
of the leading banking firms. The
two roads do not parallel anywhere
and have a physical connection at Au-
gusta, Ca, through the Georgia rail-
road, which runs from Atlanta to-Au-
gusta, and which is leased jointly by
them. Such a deal would eliminate
that hostility in Tennessee and Ken
lucky which has been aroused by the
runor that the Louisville & Nashville
Will be merged with the Southern rail-
way. These roads parallel, and are
competitors in both states. 1t is thought
that when Mr.. Morgan purchased the
Louisville & Nashville he had in view
its transfer to the coast line.
Morgan & Co. manage the South
ern railway, and have been working in
complete harmony with the coast line
The absorption of the Louisville &
Nashville would give the coast line
control of the railroad situation in the
South east of the Mississippi river"
The outstanding stock of the Louis
vile & Nashville amounts to 100000 600
and If the plan of Morgan & Co. to
pay $3.50 a share fer it is carried out,
$90,000,000 will be required to complete
the deal.
In round numbers, the combined
mileage of the Coast Line system and
the Louisville & Nashville is 9,400.

SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT
TO STOP TROLLEY CAR
Obstruction Placed On the Track and
Numerous Passengers Badly
Injured.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, July 27.-An
attempt by five men to wreck an in
coming trolley car at rife range, a
short distance north of this city on the
Rochester & Irondequoit railway, late
tonight, resulted in a rear-end collision
in which seven passengers were seri-
ously and several others slightly in
jured, and two score more passengers
narrowly escaped. The seriously in
jured, all of whom reside in Rochester,
are:
H. D. Bryan, head badly
cut in becoming jammed in
window. Miss Nellie Ritter,
back seriously sprained; Mrs John
Haley, badly bruised; William Brodie,
back sprained; w. p. Hamlin, back
wrenched and side bruised; Frank
Farley, back sprained, condition seri-
Gus; Joseph r. Webster, several pain
full bruises about head and shoulders.
Shortly before 10 o'clock car No.
457 left Summerville, on Lake On
tario, bound for the city, heavily la
den with passengers, with orders not
to stop at the rifle range, which is
a flag station only. AS the car ap-
preached this point the motorman dis
covered an obstruction on the track
and brought his car to stop in the
nick of time. The obstruction, which
consisted of several lengths of picket
fencing and other material, had been
placed on the track by fivd men under
the influence of liquor, because, as they
said, they had attempted to flag other
inbound cars without success, and de-
termined to make sure of the next at
tempt.
While the crew of car 457 was trying
to clear the track in order to proceed,
car 454, also inbound, came along at
a rapid speed and crashed into the
rear of the car ahead. The vestibules
on both cars were smashed and their
interiors were wrecked. Most Of those
injured were caught in the wrecked
vestibules and between broken car
seats. The men who placed the OBJ
struction on the track have not been
captured.

AMERICAS ARBITRARY
INCREASE OF SUGAR DUTY
Article in st. Petersburg Says Russia
Is Justified in Doing Likewise.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 27.-The
different organs Of the ministry of
finance publish an Identical article on
the note of M. De Witte, the minister
of finance, regarding the Brussels sugar
convention. The article declares that
the application of increased duties to
refined sugar exported from Russia
must be regarded as an infringement
of existing treaties and that such in
fringement would serve as a precedent
for whole series of similar acts.
Referring to Russia's answer to
Americas arbitrary increase of the
sugar duty" the article contends that
Russia is justified in taking similar
action in analogous cases.
Discussing the trust question gener-
ally the article declares that the trusts
have paralyzed all treaties and pre-
vented development on a sound basis.

GOLD HOME WEEK"
IN MASSACHUSETTS
Many of the Bay States Sons Return
From All Parts of the World to
Visit Old Friends.
Special to the Globe.


BOSTON, Mass, July 27.-St. Paul
and the entire state of Minnesota will
have deep interest in the "Old Home
Week" celebrations of Massachusetts,
which were inaugurated throughout the
state today.
The reason for this interest is found
in the fact that ST. Paul has 1900 res
idents of Massachusetts birth and Min
nesota 1000 of them. North and South
Dakota have also between them nearly
5000 citizens of Massachusetts birth.
This is the first "Old Home Week" the
state has ever had, and the plan has
been taken up with enthusiasm by all
the communities.
Many have returned from all parts
of the world to visit their old homes
and their old friends are uniting to do
them honor. Next year, with the start
that has been made, the Old Bay State
will shine as the state of hospitality.

DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK CHEERS.
All Signs Indicate the Loss OF the
House to the Republicans.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 27.-An
immense amount of correspondence is
being received at the Democratic con-
greSSional committee headquarters in
this city from all sections of the coun-
try In response to inquiries requesting
information as to the prospect of DEM
ocrauc success in various congression-
al districts.
The officials at the head of the COM
mittee are greatly encouraged by the
reports thus far received. The general
tenor is that there is more harmony
this year between the gold and silver
factions of the party than at any time
since 1896. Communications have been
received from Democratic managers
in nearly every state which indicate
that they are impressed with the pos
sibilities of gaining a Democratic
house of representatives this fall, and
in order to bring out the full Demo-
cratic vote, men are nominated who
can command the respect and support
of all elements of the party
1t is pretty generally conceded that
there will be a hard fight for Demo-
cratic gains in the Pacific coast states
owing to the popularity of the admin
istration's expansion policy in that sec
tion of the country, but the Democratic
managers are confident that the party
will be at least able to hold its own.
In the middle West anu East, however,
1t is hoped that q number of former
Republican congressional districts will
be captured. Ohio is good missionary
ground in the opinion of the Demo-
Gratis. Close observers of the situation
in that state believe that there is an
excellent chance to capture two or
three additional congressman. Re-
ports received of Michigan and Mime
sofa diSaffection over the question of
Cuban reciprocity will, it is hoped,
lead to the defeat of several Republic
an candidates, while the Republican
factional fight in Wisconsin affords a
good opportunity for great Democrat
ic gains in that state.
In spite of the redistricting of the
state by a Republican legislature, in
formation from Illinois is that the re-
election of Representative Kern over
former Representative Rodenburg can
be accomplished. Besides this there
are two or three other districts in
the state IN which Democratic candi-
dates can be elected, according TO Of
ficials at headquarters here.
In Iowa it is understood there is con-
siderable opposition to the reelection
of Col. Pete" Hepburn among the
members of his own party. Mr.. Hep
burn has been re-elected several times
on the ground of his advocacy of the
isthmian canal project. His opponents
are claiming that his presence in con-
gress is no longer needed, since the
construction of the canal has been au-
thorized. Democrats here say that the
Democratic nominee in Mr.. Hepburns
district will poll a sufficient number
of Republican votes from among the
Cummins faction to insure Hepburn's
defeat.
Democratic gains are looked for in
New York, where it is expected that
solid delegation from Greater New
York will be sent to the Fifty eighth

PRICES HERE KEPT UP
ET THE TARIFF LEVEL

Than in Foreign Countries-HandIed
by Trust That Contributed 100000

Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 81
Chairman Griggs, of the Democratic
congressional committee TODAY gave
out the following statement:
1T is somewhat remarkable that out
of all the comments on the differences
in prices give: in my recent interview
on trust-made goods in America and
in foreign countries the prices quoted
on only two articles have been in any
degree attacked, viz, tin plate and
lead.
''The tin plate trust makes startling
offer of tin plate at $319 per 100 pounds
to exporters and charges $4.I9 per 100
pounds to American consumers, so the
statement holds true that tin plate is
sold at 81 per 100 pounds cheaper in
foreign countries by our manufacture
erS.
"The duty on lead is 2A cents a
pound. The smelter trust keeps the
price of lead here up to the tariff level
of imported lead. Hence it is not
strange that importers bring in great
quantities of lead and sell it at a profit
The fact that we exported about 5000
900 worth of lead last year shows what
making on lead sold in our markets au
cents a pound.
Foreign Goods Compete.
MANY of our exporting trusts are
charging such high prices at home that
foreign goods are competing freely here
as well as abroad. The wire rope trust,
which is said to have given the Repub-
lican committee 100000 in 1896 and
got the tariff schedule fixed to suit it
self, is exporting wire rope to all parts
of the world, while selling in our mar
kets at prices from 100 per cent to 800
per cent above it's foreign prices. Thus
are the foreign trusts milking the
American consumers.
But what say our friends about wire
nails, wire rope, shovels, axol grease,
washboards, fruit jars, typewriters,
sewing machines and pianos, which are
made in America and sold in America
at from 40 per cent to 100 per cent
more than they are sold for in foreign
countries 2"
