DEATH OF MAYOR McLANE,

The residents of Baltimore City wer,
terribly shocked on Monday afternoon
when they learned that Mayor McLanC
had ended his life by a pistol shot. The
tragedy occurred at his home on East
Preston street, and he left not the slight
est clue of his reasons for this rash act
A few minutes before he had been chat
ting pleasantly with his wife, to whom
he had been married just sixteen days
The death of Mayor McLane spreads 4
gloom not only throughout the local
community in which he hadlived, but the
country as we'll He was rising young
statesman, model in politics. The
Youngest chief executive of one of the
largest cities in the United States, lie
had displayed much wisdom in carrying
the municipality through the most trying
time of it's history. The recovery from
the fearful conhagration of February Z,
which laid in ashes the business heart of
Baltimore, was arduous task to which
the young Mayor assiduously applied
himself While the methods were slow,
they were none the less sure, as most
serious difficulties had to be overcome.
Only he and his Maker will know the
thought at the instant the deed was done,
but in his loss everyone mourns. There
was no more promising young man in
Maryland and it is hard to tell how far
the ambitions of his friends would have
carried him.
He will be succeeded as Mayor by E.
Clay Timanus, president of second branch
of the City Council. The new Mayor is
a partisan republican, but can make few
changes, owing to the present city char
ter, which provides that appointed Off
cials cannot be removed after six months
except for cause.
