Suicide of a Minister.
Chattanooga, Feb. 21.--A very sen-sational
suicide occurred in this city last
Sunday. Rev. S. H. Cate, one of the
oldest preachers of the Southern Meth-odist
Episcopal Church in Tennessee,
ended his own life by taking poison. He
came here some months ago from
Charleston, Tenn., having retired from
the regular ministry during the present
year. During the winter he has been en
gagedjn holding protracted meetings.
Two weeks ago he came home, and has
been home ever since. Saturday night
he bought a pint of whisky and put a lot
of poison in it. Next morning he took
three doses of the poison, thereby end-ing
his life. The affair created a won-derful
sensation when ifwas made public.
Deceased leaves a wife and large family.
No cause is assigned lor his rash act.
The Fugitive Murderer.
Los Angeles, Cal., February 21.—It
is stated that Wm. Tascott, the alleged
Snell murderer, was in Los Angeles
Thursday last, lodging in a well-known
resort in the suburbs, where he had been
preceded by a woman calling herself
Mrs. Tascott, and claiming William
Tascott as her brother. When the
subject of Tascott’s identity with
Clark was broached, the so-called Tas-cott
quickly left the city and is be-lieved
to be in Lower California across
the border, with Detective Tyrrell, of.
Chicago, in pursuit. The proprietor of
the resort above mentioned presistently
refused to allow the register to be seen
and furthermore denies that any su h
persons as Wm. Tascott and Mrs. Ta>
cott had ever been within the walls.
Miss Jessie Holmes Relea sed.
Cincinnati, February 21.—Miss
Jessie Holmes was brought into the
United States court to-day for the pur-pose
of hearing the Judge pronounce the
wor s that released her from j ail. The
United States district attorney made the
usual motion to nolle pros the indict-ment
against her in consideration for
her having given testimony in the case
and the court granted the motion. This
is the last of the eight Fidelity indict-ments.
French Politics.
Paris, February 21.—Several journals
fear that a government crisis will ensue
should the cabinet insist upon the cham-her
of deputies voting a sum of money
on account of the secret service, and de-clare
that it will make the vote a ques-tion
of confidence. The radicals and
socialists of St. Etienne have decided to
run Gen. Boulanger for the chamber of
deputies, notwithstanding the fact that
he is ineligible.
Victims of Uie Cyclone.
Ml'. Vernon, February 21.—Adjt.-
Gen. Vance and Dr. Ranch arrived
here at 11 o’c'ock last night and arranged
with the citizens’ committee to have
forwarded immediately a number of
shelter tents for use of the homeless un-til
permanent quarters can be furnished
lor them. For the convenience
of many without homes, the
Air Line and the Louisville &
Nashville railroads put specials on their
roads to carry such as chose to go to
friends in neighboring towns during the
night and return during the day. There
are many persons who believe that all
the < ead people have not yet been taken
from the ruins, and many point to the
Crews block as the funeral pile in
which the remains of three of the
five unknown may yet be taken.
The upper stories of this building were
used as a boarding house and was fre-quented
by railroad men, who stopped
but for a day. A great effort was made
in this building to release old man Mur-ray,
but he was pinned by the head and
legs in such a manner that he could not
be moved. His cries were piteous
as flames crept upon him and literally
roasted him to death. His chaired re-mains
were taken from the cellar of the
bank at 9 o’clock this morning. At mid-night
the streets were deserted. A small
force has been at work all day and order
is now coming out of choas.
Off for Florida.
The Shadow of Coming Death.
London, February 21.—The Times’
Berlin special says: “An idefinite sense
of coming evil has seized men here. All
kinds of rumors are bruited. The sole
topic in social circles is the state of the
Crown Prince’s health. Festive gather-
Washington, February 21.—The
presidential party left Washington at
1145 o’clock this morning by the Penn-sylvania
and Atlantic Coast lines for a
visit to the sub-tropical exposition at
Jacksonville. Fla. The party consisted
of President and Mrs. Cleveland, Secre-tary
and Mrs. Whitney, Colonel and Mrs.
Lamont, Sinclair, the president’s valet,
and Mrs. Cleveland’s maid. They [used
a special train composed of an engine,
baggage car, and one drawing-room
car. The latter car is elegantly fur-nished
and appointed and was provided
with everything that could add to the
ease and comfort of the distinguished
passengers during ’heir long journey.
The train will make its first stop at
Savannah, Ga., where it will arrive at 8
o’clock to-morrow morning. The party
will remain there an hour and will take a
drive over the principal thoroughfares.
They will arrive at Jacksonville at 1
o’clock in the afternoon. A visit will be
made to the exposition, and a reception
be held by President and Mrs. Cleveland
in the evening. The next day, Thursday,
will be spent in St. Augustine, where
another reception will be held. The
start for home will be made Friday
morning and the train will makb no
stops except such as are necessary for
coaling up, etc. Col. Lamont said the
presid ent had prepared no speeches for
the trip and did not expect to make
any.
Looking to The Future.
Washington, Feb; 21.—The possi-bility
of the telegraph some day being a
part of the postal system of the United
Sta'es has at last been officially recog-nized
by the government, in the act to
authorize the construction of a railroad,
wagon and foot passenger bridge across
the Mississippi river, nea’ Burlington,
la., approved by the President. Here-tofore
all such bills have made such pro-posed
structures post routes, but this
act goes further, and says : “And the
United Siates shall have the right of
way for postal telegraph purposes across
said bridge.” It is the first time, it is
said, that such a provision has been in-serted
in a bridge bill, and is the first
eSicial recognition by Congress and the
Executive of the probable use of such
routes for a postal telegraph.
The Crown Prince.
San Remo, February 21.—A bulletin
issued this morning says the German
Crown Prince rested better last night and
was less troubled with coughing and
spitting. He appeared at his bedroom
window yesterday and many people saw
him. The Prince of Wales paid him a
visit last evening and lound him better
than he expected.
The New Minister to Liberia.
Washington, February 21.—Rev.
J. C. Price, colored, president of Living-ston
college, Salisbury, N. C., has receiv-ed
a letter from Secretary Bayard in-forming
him that the president has ap-pointed
him minister resident and con-sul
general of the United States in
Liberia. Mr. Price has not yet decided
whether he will accept the office.
