Warren was to have been married to Miss Lillian Robertson of this city to- night. A sealed note addressed to Miss Robertson was found on Warren's body, but the coroner will not make public it's contents. The reason for Warren taking his life is not definitely known. He is said to have a wife in England.

Let us protect the weak and restrain the strong and go forward on our great mission, lift ing up and bettering mankind, remember ing that the life and character of the Confederate soldier is now the common heritage of the American people, and that his glory and sacrifices will help to domi- nate our progress in all coming time, and to strengthen our reunited nation, in up- lifting humanity and protecting liberty, insuring peace among ourselves, and all the nations on earth"
