rtce, under the eye. j-
It is believed that he will not live
more than twelve hours.
It is thought that he meant to shoot
hiraself under the throat so that the
h.iii would pass out through the top
of his head, but in this he was mis
tikih although wounding, himself
niortally. ;
' The suicide was no doubt-planned,
and he got under the influence oi
liquor to brace himself for the fearful
deed, this beim, the first time ihat he
hasibeen known to be intoxicated- in
several4years. t
This is not the first time he has
tried to commit suicide. About four
' years ago, on account of trouble ol
some kind, he took to drinking, and
; u as almost an'inebricxte ;vout after o
ia; to the Keeiy Institute he was
eurad. It was at ,!this time he tred
ftb conttnit suicide bjvtalsin laudnum
"i an!' other ;Doisons, but failed. - '
He is how in a most critical condl-t-'uu
and cannot possibly live - more
than twelve hours. He says that he
does not want to live, and he thinks
himself that he will not survive this
time as it was stated this morning j
that he said he tried before and
couldn't succeed, but he would suc
ceed this time. -
J - C. Barry, a corn doctor, stated
-to the Virginian representative this
lnOning that he was with the unfortu
nate man yesterday afternoon, and
that he acted as though he was in
the best of spirits. He asked him to
ive him his card, and he did so. He
was with Captian Louis Hayman and
three or four other young men last
night, - and atter taking two-or three
drinks Jyva's carried home by 'the
young men. and he said to them that
he would shoot himself, andafter go
ing to bed he made good his threat.
He was em ployed by Mr. W. C.
Glover as book-keeper, - and has oc
cupied this position for several years,
always carrying higaelt in a gentle
manly manner and being polite' and
gentle to everbody.
He is of one of thejinost respected
families in this section. He is be-
. lvveen; thirty and thirty-five years of
ae. Norfolk Virginian.' ' n

vears old, was killed
the matter of coast defense. ' As the
interest .which has been tiwakened has
grown deeper, successive congresses have
made more liberal provision for tb.3 ac
complishment of the accepted scheme.
The total amount appropriated for' sea
coast defenses, including cost- of sites,
fortifications and armament - since the
adoption of the pre-ent scheme, is C:,-157,-ltiO.o.
-of which . p).35J,0J0, or in (ire t-hun
one-third, w;is-carried by the' act passed
at theTast" scs don of congress.
Therefore, in submitting th 3. estimate?
for another year, ho feels that it is no
no longer necessary to repoar. tiio argu
ments that have been reiterated so many
times. White earnestly inviting attention
to the great work that yet remains ' to be
done, it is also his fortune to have the
more grateful difty of exhibiting the im
liortanti results th.tt ,'havo been actually
itlccompllshe't, lswoII as ' the spleadid
' jirOgt-e-s; wnicnls now Doing made to-,
ward the early po tuple t ion of the work.
The armament of troop? with the no yv
magazine arms was completed in May,,
and the armory is-turning out 125 rifles or
carriages per day under the appropria
tion made last. year. All the ammunition
for small arms no w made is supplied with
smokeless powder of American manufac
ture and of satisfactory quality.
The total expenditures for river and
harbor improvements ordered by congress
during the year ending June 30, 1HLV3, in
cluding those of the Mississippi and Mis
souri river commissions, was 'i 17,0'J9, 731. 51.
Including the amounts appropriated by
the act of June 3, I860, there was available
for expenditure on rivers and harbors July
1, 30,020,97-1. 7.U. The Mississippi river
commission .has decided to discontinue
the plan to improve the river by bank pro
tection and to adopt the plan of dredging
channels in shoal places and maintaining
with state and local co-operation an effi
cient levee system. With this change of
policy the minority believe the function
of the commission is ended and the work
should be turned over to the secretary of
war.
Under the new system-established by
Secretary Lamont the army has for the
first time been paid monthly. Ovr 14,
000,000 was disbursed, and .the discrepancy
between the money shipped and .chained
to have been received amounts to only
27. The saving to the govern ?ent by the
system is about '25.00 annually, and it
appears to encourage economy among the
men, as soldiers' deposits this year are
over 100,000 more than last year. .De
sertion i;i the -army is decreasing,-- De
serters! n 1SS3 numbered 3,578, in ItidJouly
1,062, and last year 1,305.
