DIR. GRISSOM WEAKENs HIS MEN
TALITY, THEN COMMITS SUICIDE.
Was Once Eminent as an Alienist and
NeuroIogist and Gained Wide
Reputation as a Lecturer.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Dr. Eugene
Grissom, once we'll known as an alienist
and neurologist, committed suicide here to-
day at his sons home, No. 1927 G street,
n. E., by sending a bullet through his
brain. DR.. Grissom had been detected and
morose for several weeks, and had become
physically and mentally weakened from the
use of strong narcotics.
DR.. Grissom was a native of Granville,
n. c., served on the Confederate side until
wounded during the civil war; and after
ward was a member of the State Legisla-
ture. For twenty-one years he was super
intendent of the North Carolina Insane

reputation as an alienist and lecturer Be

livered lecture entitled THE Borderland
of Insanity" that attracted great atten-

Experts" a work devoted to showing the
alleged inaccuracies of the expert testi-

PROPOSED MERGER OF THE ALLAN
TIC COAST LINE AND THE L. N.
Nearly 10000 Miles of Railway In
voIved and S9O,OOO,OOO Needed to
Complete the Deal.

BALTIMORE, Md, July 27.-It is impossi-
BILE to obtain an authoritative expression 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 Morgan & Co. The effect of the
rumor however, has caused an advance
of 1872 points in the stock during the past
ten days Sales yesterday were made at
1721k Ten days ago the price was 15S. With
in a few months the stock has risen from
125 The report that the Coast Line Com
pany will get the Louisville & Nashville
has been freely discussed in financial cir
cles here, and the general impression pre-
walls that the report is we'll founded.
II think Mr. Morgan has already practi
cally turned the road over to the Coast
Line" said a member of one of the leading
banking firms. 1.-The two roads do not par
aIIeI anywhere and have a physical con-
nection at Augusta, Ga, thru IN the Geor-
gia railroad, which runs rom Atlanta to
Augusta, and which is leased jointly by
them. Such a deal would eliminate much
hostility in Tennessee and Kentucky which
has been aroused by the rumor that the
Louisville & Nashville will be merged with
lei and are competitors in both States, and,
following the report, Governor McMillin, of
Tennessee, has threatened to call a special
session of the Legislature to pass a law
that would prevent merger. 1t is thought
that when Mr.. Morgan purchased the Louis
Vile & Nashville he had in view its trans
fer TO the Coast Line. Morgan & Co. man
age the Southern railway and have been
working in complete harmony with the
Coast Line. The absorption of the Louis

A Noble County Republican Talks OF

Good Point.
ARTHUR a. M'KAIN DECLINES
HE WILL NOT ACCEPT THE NOMINA-
TION FOR AUDITOR.
Mr.. McKain Also Announces that He
VIII Not Accept a Congress
siOnaI Nomination.

AS the opening Of the campaign draws
nearer the Republicans are beginning to
feel more and more certain of re-electing
their congressman in those districts
in Indiana where the Republican major
tiles are not large. There has been good
deal of comment in the Democratic news
papers regarding the situation among the
Republicans in the First district, it being
claimed that there is disaffection there and
that the district is in confusion. One Dem
ocratic newspaper some time ago printed
scare head" story about Chairman Good
rich being called to Evansville to straighten
out things among the Republicans. AS a
matter of fact, the chairman was not called
to Evansville at the time, and was not
near that city.
The Democrats OF the First district had
better look at their own demoralized con-
dition before criticising any one else" re-
marked a man from the southern part of
the district a few days ago. The fact is,
it is declared, the Democracy Of the dis
trict is bad off for some one to make the
race against Representative Hemenway-
or rather they are in a bad way about
agreeing on any one. The Democracy OF
the district would probably have nominated
Colonel Owen, of Mt. Vernon, had he con-
sented to make the race. He was Mr.
Hemenway's opponent two years ago, and
was defeated by a small majority The
Republicans of the district say that Mr.
Hemenway will be elected this time and
they think his majority will be larger
There is now talk of nominating John W.
Spencer, of Evansville. 1t is realized. how
ever, that Spencer is not popular with the
Populistic element of the Democracy. whom
he has chaffed and jeered at most unmer-
cifully. 1t is said that this element has
threatened to knife Mr.. Spencer IL he
is nominated. Another candidate talked
of in the district is Thomas II. Dillon, of
Petersburg, who is said TO be an ultra-Pop-
ulist Dillon was a candidate for the NOM
ination two years ago. He is said to be
good campaigner. Dillon became somewhat
famous during his canvass by advocatin

ROCHESTER, n. Y, July 27-An attempt
car at the Rife Range, a short distance
north of this city, the Rochester &
Irondequoit railway late tonight, resulted
in a rear-end collision in which seven pas

city, heavily laden 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 discov-

brought his car to a stop just in the nick of

several lengths of picket fencing and other
material, had been placed on the track by
five men under the influence of liquor. be

flag other inbound cars without success
and determined TO make of the next
attempt. While the crew of car 457 was
trying to clear the track in order to pro-

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 the injured were caught
in the wrecked vestibules and between
broken cars. The police are making every
effort to apprehend the five men who placed

ARTHUR A. M'KAIN IN TOWN.
He VIII Decline Nomination for Audi
tor or Any Other Office


Arthur A McKain, who was nominated
by the Democrats in their county conven-
ton 10 make the race for auditor, is at
his home in this city. Mr. McKain has
been spending most of the summer at his
White county farm, and came TO the city
yesterday to look after some business mat
ters. He will return to the farm in a few
days On the question of politics Mr.. Nc
Kain was not disposed to have much to say
last night. For some time there have been
rumors to the effect that he did not intend
10 accept the nomination for auditor, but
that he would accept the nomination for
Congress from this district if the conven-
tion offered it. To Journal reporter last
night Mr.. McKain dismissed both PROPOSE
tions with the following statement: 81 had
never sought office and the nomination
that was given me came unsolicited. 1
have no desire to enter political life and
have no thought Of accepting an office, no
matter what il may be-.
This might be taken as a diplomatic way
of saying he would not accept the NOM
ination for auditor. Concerning the rumor
that he would not accept the nomination
because of the fact that the Indiana Man
ufacturing Company is defendant in a suit
in which the county auditor is plaintiff Mr..
McKain remarked: so far as that case is
concerned II is TO be decided in the Su-
preme Court in October and will be out of
the way by election time"
In addition TO Mr.. McKain's name a num-
Der of others have been mentioned in con-
nection with the Democratic congressional
race. Among them are A. G. Ayres, Evans
Woollen, Albert Sahm and VIII V. Rocker.
1t is said by leading Democrats that Frank
B. Burke could have the nomination again
if he would accept 1t. but 1T is understood
that he has positively declared he will not
be a candidate. 1t is announced that the
Democrats will not hold their congress
sional convention in this district until the
latter part of August or the first of Sep
tember.
