Mayor of Baltimore, but Two Weeks Mar

by Shooting.

Baltimore, May 31.-MayOr Robert
NJ. McLane, of this city, shot and killed
himself at his home yesterday after
noon in his bed room at his residence,
20 West Preston street. His bride of
less than two weeks was at the time
of the tragedy asleep in an adjoining
room, and was awakened by the dis
charge of the revolver which McLane
evidently fired while standing before
the mirror of the dressing case. The
bullet entered the right temple. 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 consciousness after
: he fell to the floor, and expired within
an hour.
No cause can be assigned for the act
by the members of McLanes family.
Since the fire of last February he has
been kept assiduously at work admin
istering the affairs of the city besides
endeavoring to direct the rehabilitation
and rebuilding of the burned district
This. together with criticisms by his
political opponents, are thought by
many to have caused n temporary
alteration of mind.
