Lawshe, a prominent young druggist of Atlanta, committed suicide yesterday by shooting himself through the head with arifie. He died in afew hours wthout speaking a word.

At noon Tuesday a portion of the roof of the newly completed Midland Hotel, at the corner of 7th and Walnut streets and Grand avenue, Kansas City, Mo., collapsed, and fell with' a crash like a peal of thunder and a tremendous mass of brick, mortar, ground floor, eight stories below. About sixty men were at work on the building. One was killed, a dozen more or less in jured. two of whom may die. The hotel was damaged to the amount of $50,000. On yesterday, about six miles from Ab -beville, a negro abou' 21 years old. named Jas. Wharton, shot a small negro boy 12 years old, named Nathan McClinton. The ball went in at the right shoulder, but it has not been found yet by the attending physician. The doctor considers the wound mortal. There was no apparent cause for the shooting. A warrant has been issued, and it is that Wharton will be arrested this evening. Around Mount Vernon, Ill., the weather continues extremely cold. The homeless have suffered greatly during the past forty eight hours. The finance committee has issued a card to the general public, stating that all subscriptions received will be de voted to the purchase of building material, household furniture and other articles necessary to provide the destitute and needy with shelter. Up to date the committee has received a sufficient quantity of clothes and food to supply all demands. While it has been a well-known fact that Western farmers are loaded down with mortgages. the extent of their obligations was not understood until an investigation was initiated by the department of agricul ture. The mortgages resting on the farm ers of ten Western States aggregate, it ap pears, $3,422,000,000. Ohio leading the list with an aggregate of $701,000,000. Michigan one-half of the farms are mort gaged, the aggregate debt secured by mortgages being $350,000.000. A striking fact of the situation is that the annual net earnings on the capital avested in farms in the United States is butA- or 5 per cent., while the mortgages in question command 7 to 9 per cent. The insurance companies of Hartford, Conn., own $70,000,000 of Western farm mortgages, and the loan companies of Boston hold them to. the amount of $76,000,000. Where General Sheridan was Born. The Chicago Times thinks the following telegrams appear to explain themselves: - COrNTY CAVAN, PARISH KILINV.RAN, Ireland, February 17.-Philip H. Sheridan was born in this county, near the town of Virginia. There is no doubt about this. Mr. Patrick R. Sheridan, his uncle, remem bers the event well. SOMERSET, 0., February 17.-General Sheridan's mother, who lives here, says Phil was born in Somerset. She is sure she is not mistaken about this. HONOLULU, Sandwich Islands, February 17.-General Sheridan's aunt, Mrs. Cristy, who came - here with Captain Cook, says the general was born in Wrtk, Wales. She was present at the time, and knows what she is talking about. LoNDoN, England, February 17.-Allan Quartermain, a half-brother of General Sheridan, says he remembers well when Phil was born. He is very sure it was just before his first journey to King Solomon's mines. Mr. Quartermain is willing to make affidavit that General Sheridan was born in Kukuanaland. ATI.ANTA, Ga.,. February 17 -Joel Chandler Harris says he and Henry W. Grady are positive that General Phil Sher idan was born on the Piedmont fair grounds, near this city. Mr. Harris says he remembers it particularly by the circum stance that Mrs. Sheridan, the general's mother, was at the time visiting friends in New York State. ST. PAUL, Minn., February 17.-Frik A. Carle, of the Pioneer Press, says Gen eral Sheridan was born in the ice palace in this city. Mr. Carle is sure he cannot be mistaken, because, as he says, when he called on the illustrious soldier soon after his birth, he noticed particularly that he did not wear his shoulder straps, and spoke to him about it. WASHtGToN, February 17.-General Sheridan says he was born in Albany, News York. Mr. Corcoran's Will. WAsHINGTON, D. C., February 29. The will of the late W. W. Corcoran was offered for probate at noon to-day. The greater portion of the estate, which ii valued at $3,000,000, is bequeathed te his three grandchildren-George P.. Louise MK and Win. C. Eustis, to be held in trust for them for ten years. Several legacies of $4,000 and $5,000 are left tc other relations, and similar amounts tc -various orphan asylums in the District. -The sum of $100,000 is to the Coreoran Art Gallery, the will stating that $1,500, 000 had already been given to that in stitutioti. Fifty thousand dollars is left to the Louise Home, $500,000 having already been-devoted to it. Judges Drawing Straws. Shocking as it may seen, the judges of dhe supreme court of Florida not only gamble, but they some times put up the office of chief justice as a stake. In fact, the constitution of the State requires them to do it. This is what the Tallahassean says: "The idea of three learned and dig nifled supreme court judges drawing straws to determine which shall exercise the fuac tions of chief justice is so ridiculous, un dignified, and absolutely foreign to every principle of intelligent and civilized govern ment that we can hardly realize that the constitution of the fairest State in the Union contains a clause making such a spectacle necessary. The member who introduced this clause into our constitution ought to go off and bump his head against a post for a solid hour every morning during the remainder of his natural life." Uncle Sam's Balance Sheet. The debt.statement just issued shows the decrease of the public debt during the month of February to be $7,756,366.67; decrease of debt since June 30,-1887, $76, 974,022.20; cash in treasury, $572,390, 989.34; gold certificates outstanding, $96, 697,913; silver certificates outstanding, $184,452,659; certificates of deposits out standing, $11,215,000; legal tenders out standing, $346,681,016; fractional currency, (not including amount estimated as lost or destroyed,) $6,941,825.12;. total interest bearingdebt, $1,041.674,052; total debt of all classes, $1,700,755,778.64. Total debt, less available cash items and less net cash in the treasury, $1,202,454,714.82. A Massacre in Texas. CmICAo, March 1.-A dispatch from Houston, Texas, says: The full particulars of the massacre of negroes at Spanish Camp have not yet been obtained. The latest re port is that seven were killed and one se verely wounded. The cabin was ap proached while the inmates were asleep and kerosene oil poured around the bed ding and then fired simultaneously. The murdering began as the half sleeping ne groes rushed from the burning house. Five were killed as they rushed out and two were shot in the house and their bodies cremated. Only one escaped, and he was severely wounded. PIANOS ANDI ORGANS. We are prepared to sell Pianos and Organs of the best make at factory prices for Cash or easy Instalments.

Bixby Recommends Certain Sums that can be Profitably Expended During the Coming Year-Let the Claims Flow in. WILML.TOS, N. C., Feb. 15, 1888. Editor RECORD, Columbia, S. C. Si: I have lately seen it stated in the papers that the North and South Carohna delegations were not ready to present their claims to the ltiver and Harbor Committea because they had not as yet received copies of the reports of the engineer in charge of these works. For fear that there may be some misun derstanding in the matter, I wish to say that my final reports on the surveys of Lockwood's Folly and Lumber rivers, 1. C,, Little Pedee and Alligator rivers, Clark's and Mingo creeks, S. C., were forwarded to Washington by me on the 5th September, 1887; final reports on the surveys of Yad kin and Catawba rivers, N. C., were for warded in January, 188, and annual re ports on all other rivers and harbors in my district in August, 1887. As these full reports consist of about 370 pages of type-writer Fool's-cap manuscript, it is impossible for me to furnish copies of them to anybody until they shall have been printed by order of Congress (which will probably not be until next October); but these reports are on file in the office of the Chief of Engineers in Washington, where they can always be seen and consulted by members of Congress and other interested persons. In these reports I recommended certain amounts as those which could be profita bly expended during the coming year. (See accompanying table.) In the case of many of the works already in progress, and in order to reduce the total river and harbor bill estimates to the figzures demanded by recent Congresses, the Chief of Engineers has recommended amounts considerably less than the above. In the case of works not yet commenced, the Chief of Engineers has not yet (as far as I know) made any recommendations, leaving the decision in such cases entirely to Con gress, or waiting until Congress shall have decided as to the commencement of such work. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, WM. H. B=rY, Captain of Engineers. Ricer.s and harbrs in North awd Sout Carolina, Office of Capt. -- IL Beby, En gineer in Charge 1887-1888. ?

B. B., we make bold to claim the following special points of value and advantages over any other remedy on the market: i. That it consists of the most valuable remedies known to the medical profession. 2. That the combination of the remedies has never been equaled in any medicine that has ever been known. 3. Its beneficial resulfs can be felt sooner than by the use of any other remedy. 4. It takes less quantity and less money to produce a cure than any other remedy. We are willing for B. B. B. to stand on its own merits, and as our words are unnecessary in proving its efficiency as a blood remedy, we simply invite a careful perusal of the following voluntary certificates from the thousands who have tried it. They are eloquent tributes, and speak for themselves. To the skeptical, we would further say: Inquire of your neighbor who has tried our great remedy for the blood. Here are the certificates: A REMARKABLE LETTER. SHE HAD TRIED EVERYTHING A GOOD EXPERIMENT. ELSE. MERRtIDAXe, 3115s., July 12,1387. CLOVER BOTrOM, Sullivan County.
