let Into His Brain.
Baltimore. Md, May 31.-Mayor
Robert NJ. McLane, of this city, shot
and killed himself at his home in his
bedroom Monday. His bride Of two
weeks was at the time asleep in the
adjoining room, and was awakened
by the discharge of the revolver,
which Mr.. McLane evidently used
while standing before the mirror of
the dressing case.
The bullet entered the right tenn
pie, and crashing through the head,
escaped in the rear OF the left ear.
Mrs. McLane and other members of
the household rushed to the mayors
assistance, but he did not regain con-
seriousness after he fell to the floor,
and expired within an hour, a num-
ber Of physicians who were immedi-
ately summoned having at once ex-
pressed the opinion that the wound
was necessarily fatal.
No cause can be assigned for the
act by the members Of Mr.. McLane's
family.
Since the fire Of last February he
had been kept assiduously at work
administering the affairs of the city.
besides endeavoring to direct the re-
habilitation and rebuilding of the
burned district.
This, together with criticisms by
his political opponents, are thought
by many to have caused a temporary
alteration of mind.

tive Of the firm said that the Chicago

the office, saying he was going to
Brooklyn. where his baby was ill.,
Mrs. Cameron called at the firms
office today and told the officials OF
the company that she had not seen
her husband since that day.
Cameron had been in the employ
OF the company for Is years.
Members OF the firm say their local
cotton accounts are all right and have
already been adjusted, and that the
property of the firm improperly di.

not nearly 100000.
