WITH A MIGHTY SPLASH THEY FELL Railroad Bridges Destroyed by the Raging Flood sary of the great flood of a year ago. Early this morning the great mass of wreckage which lodged against the Rock Island pile bridge began to force it out of line. One-half of the struct ure went out with a crash and the mass of wreckage swept on down stream. It crashed into the pile bridge of the Kansas City Southern Railway, carry ing fifty feet of it out and leaving the ties and track hanging above. The James street bridge was built on steel pointed piles driven Into the soft rock MEMORIAL DAY Observed With Usual Exer- ercises in Washington ; Baltimore, May 30. Robert McLane, mayor of Baltimore and a bridegroom of about two weeks, committed suicide at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon by shoot- ng himself through the head. ' Worry over the troubles resulting from the re cent big fire and family differences growing out of his recent marriage are said to have caused mental abberration which led to the rash act. The tragedy oocurred in th dressing. room of the .mayor's bed chamber at his hemo, 29 West Preston street. He died from tjie effects of the self in flicted wound at 4:45 p. m. At the time of the shooting Mrs. Mc Lane was taking a nap in a front room on the same floor. Hearing the shot she rushed into the dressing room to And the mayor lying on the floor with a bullet in his head. Mrs. McLane gave the alarm and all nearby, physi cians were summoned. Messages were hurried to the members of Mr. Mc Lane's family and the first to reach him was his father, James L. McLane. Dr. A. Trego Shertzer was the first physician on the scene. He found that the "bullet had penetrated the uppar part of the right temple and had made its exit a little behind and iust above the 'left ear. Both wounds were bleed ing profusely. Other physicians were soon at the McLane house, and all agreed that the wound was fatal. Coroner Hayden. who has charge of the case, did not hesitate to pronounce it one of direct, suicide. While the troubles of his office inci dental to the big fire had considerable effect on Mayor McLane's mind, it was domestic troubles resulting from his marriage that, disturbed him the most.

He wa salso worried because of the tan gles which came upon his administra tion before and after the big fire. When McLane was nominated for mayor it was understood he was to recognize the Democratic party organ ization. After his election, however, the candidates for office presented for appointment did not, in his opinion, measure up to the standard. Contrary to the wishes of the leaders and the members of their party, he picked men for office of his own choice, retaining some appointees of former Mayor Hayes. Here is where th first cloud was observed. After the destructive Baltimore fire, a period of reconstruction was neces sary and the mayor had to formulate the plans. He named a burnt distriot commission, laid the grounds for the passage of the bill before the legisla ture for a six million dollar loan to improve the docks and then looked after the details because the work went slowly. All these circumstances and his do- mestio troubles weighed heavily upon him and finally overcame him. FJ. fMav Timanus. president of the second branch of the city council, who will succeed to the mayoralty under the city charter, is a Republican. He has twice been elected to the city council from his ward. Under the new charter the mayor can not remove any of the heads of departments. He can only make chan ges in the personal staff until after the late Mayor McLean's term shall have expired. Mr. Timanus said tonight he would follow the precepts of the char ter in this respect. Mayor McLane's death under such traffic circumstances at a time when the whole city looked to him for guid ance because of the disaster of Feb ruary 7 and 8, from which the city is Just beginning to recover, i3 a catastro phe the full realization of which is diffi cult to grasp. 'Mayor McLane was not rich, but he was in comfortable circum stances and occupied a high social po sition. He was naturally of a sunny disposition, courteous and big hearted, and was the last man in Baltimore to be suspected of having designs on his 'own life. " Mayor Robert McLane was born In Baltimore November 30, In as cending to his position as mayor at the age of 5 years, he was the youngest mayor Baltimore had ever had. Mayor McLane was married in Wash ington at noon en May 14 to Mrs. Mary Van Bibber of this city. The ceremony was performed by Rev. George C.
