SHE FEARED INSANITY
MOTIVE OF SUICIDE or MISS MAJ
 RIETTA PORTER.
Young Woman who Shot Herself to Death Thursday Afternoon In Highland Parh---Body ship-
 ped to ohio.

From a note discovered in q valise of Miss Marietta Porter. his dead sister, Edward F. Porter of Highland Park is convinced that the young woman took her life Thudsday afternoon because of q belief that she was becoming insane.
 Mir Porter would not give the note out for publication but indicated that the contents explained her rash act by a fear of losing her mind and dread of being left helpless charge on her family.
 In the meantime. he Is busiIy engaged in an effort to ascertain from whom Miss Porter secured the weapon with which shc killed herself. It was s Harring- ton-R Richardson, old style revolver and al- though the revolver ofs her brother was within her reach. the other weapon was used. The young woman was known to have an aversion for firearms and had never owned a revolver.
 Coroner W. H. Tice yesterday reached a verdict death from gunshot wound He did not arrive at verdict of suicide. not thinking the proof strong enough.
 Much interest in the suicide is felt in the quiet neighborhood about the cottage of Mir. Porter on the corner of Summit and Reuben Streets. The neigi1bors are wrought up and are lending every aid to the distracted brother to find out from whom the weapon was secured. Mrs. Por- ter received SO great a nervous shock from the tragedy that she is confined to her bed.
 The remains of MiEs Porter were ship ped yesterday afternoon at 6:3o o'clock to the home of her aged father at Mill ford. Ohio. On account of the illness of his wife Mir. Porter was unable to ac- company the remains. A personal friend, however. escorted the remains to Gin cinnati. where they will be met by the father of the unfortunate young woman.
 The funeral services will take place to- morrow at Milford.

 Mir. Janvrin was attacked about three years ago by what he at first thought was rheumatism. He did the usual thing--applied liniments to his legs, which were the parts affected. and got temporary relief. But the trouble always returned, and, each time, with greater severity. He realized that the disease was gaining firmer hold of his system ali the while. and after he had endured the pain and discomfort for more than a year, he began to consult physicians in great anxiety.
 He was startled by the verdict, which they agreed in pronouncing in his case He learned from them that he was in the grasp of a fearful disease, already far advanced, from which there seemed

NEWS OF THE GUARD
Several ResignatIons Accepted by Ad-

Several ResignatIons Accepted by Ad- jjutant General. The resignations of Second Lieuten' ant J. w. Cheney, Go. D, Anniston, and Second Lieutenant Louis B. Jordan. Co H. Bessemer. 3rd Regiment Infantry First Lieutenant P. M. Abererombie | Co. K, Tuskegee. 2nd Regiment, A. N G., have been accepted by Adjutant General Brandon and orders issued for the election of their successors. The recent meeting of the commis- stoned officers of the 3rd Alabama Reg iment, A. N. G., to make an effort to settle the factional troubles in that or ganization, is said to have been fruit less. It is said that there were propo- sitions and counter propositions, but none of them was accepted and the re- port is that the gathering could not agree on any concert of action. The trouble seems to exist as deep seated as ever and 1t Is up to the military au-
 norlties to solve the problem that aonfronts them.
 Where is the encampment to be held7" Is the question the soldiers are asking. It has not been decided, but 1t is very certain that there will be several splendid opportunities for the Alabama men to go into camps of in- structions this summer. There will likely be a State camp and then a pro- visional regiment formed to go into tho joint maneuvers with regulars at Ma- nassas, Va, in September.
 AIaha ma National Guard is thors ough1y equipped with the ordnance by the regular army and all the com panies have just been fitted out with new uniforms. The men will make @ fine appearance in camp this summer. particularly if the new khaki outfit is secured. which now seems to be a cer- tainty.
