Prominent Analytical Chemist is Found Dead in Hia Bed at the Corner of Peachtree and Deca tur Streets a Little Before Midnight—Su icide by Three Different Methods. Just before 12 o'clock Thursday night the re port of a pistol was heard by several parties who were standing near the corner of Peachtree aBd Decatur streets. The sound seemed to tell of a terrible tragedy, and in a few seconds the report of the pistol was generally dis cussed. On his way to the building in which the shot was supposed to have been fired, and which was the three-story building at the corner of Peachtree and Decatur streets, oc cupied on the first floor by Mr. Berry, the druggist, a Constitution reporter encoun tered Officer Lynch, to whom he mpnrted his knowledge of the shot, and of whom he asked aid in an investigation. Without any delay the reporter and tbe po liceman ascended to tbe second floor, but just as they starred up the stairway they met two darkeys who, in response to questions, said that they had not only beard the shot, but had heard groans in the direction of the stair way. After reaching the second floor the wo investigators halted, and by the aid of matches examined every door. They were found locked. A further investi gation disclosed the fact that the keys were out of all the locks except one, and to the door upon which this lock containing the key was the two persons turned their attention. After a short survey of the building it was ascertained that this particular door lead to the stairway by which the third floor of the building was reached. The reported sound of a pistol, the presence of the key on the inside of the door and tbe failures of tbe repeated knocks on the door to arouse any one within strengthened the suspicions which entered the minds of the investigators' and the crowd which had been drawn by the banging on the door, A SINGULAR SUICIDE. An lasaae Mother at Springfield, Mo., Kills llerscl with Laudanum. St. Louis, June 24.—A special from Spring- field, Mo., reports that Mrs. Henrietta Ran dall, aged 33, the wife of James R. Randall, a machinist in the employ of the San Francisco road, committed suicide by hanging herself to a small oak in the back yard. Her two children were asleep in bed, and the husband was absent at the time. The suicide was caused by mental aberration, Mrs. Randall having lost her power to speak above a whisper sometime ago. Since then, she has been much troubled with nervousness. She left a note, which says: “The curse of God is upon me. Years ago I uttered a sentence that was longago for gotten until the other week, and came like a clap of thunder. My children know nothing but to quarrel. They cannot be governed at all. The light of love has gone out of their eyes. Poor Jim goes to work every day, and thinks he is at, work, but I know theie is no mare to come in front bis work.

Soate Interesting Facts an the Subject In Connection ti lth the Exhibition at London. Special Dispatch to the Philadelphia Times. Washington, Jun* 22.—In a message to congress the president some time ago called attention to an invitation to participate in an international exhibition of fisheries and fish products, to be held at London in May, 1883. A joint resolution was at the time introduced and referred to the foreign affairs committee of the house to accept the invitation. Mr. Williams, chairman of that committee, act ing under instructions, has reported it back with a favorable recommendation. The re port of the committee gives some interesting facts regarding this subject,which it is thought well for other countries to observe. Among other things it sets forth the cheapness and excellence of the various fishery products of the United States. Since the exhibition at Berlin in 1880 agencies for the sale of American fish have been estab lished in nearly every country in Europe, anc^ the American boneless codfish has been adopted as a standard article of food by some seventeen or more of the regiments *of the German army. The commissioner of fish and fisheries state that the value of the products of the fisheries in the United States in the census year 1880 was about §45.000,000. This was the estimated price paid to the producers. But the value of the same products at whole sale rates would net be less than §90,000,000. Tbe export trade, owing to a strong home demand in the year 1880, amounted to only $5*744.5S0. Professor Baird states that under the pro cesses now being successsully employed the resources of the waters of the United States ter be made herd. The object was to secure delay, so as to bring about a conference, Yesterday a dispatch -was received by the lawyer from Holyoke saying that Mr. Grover would meet him at the office of the chief of police in Springfield. Before leaving Hart- f >rd the lawyer secured possession of several letters written by Miss Grover to Hall, which were, brimful of affection and earnestness, showing that she had been thoroughly infat uated with the fellow and had actually led him into, the intimacy which followed, letters were taken were • undoubtedly _ jfbkter. who preferred to have possession of the original rather than to bring a criminal suit and make the scandal worse. At all events, on the return of the attorney notice was served on the police au thorities here that the warrant of arrest had been withdrawn, and Hall, at a late hour last night, wasset at liberty and is now here. Of bis marriage in Springfield on the 17th or May to Miss Grover there is no doubt, and the fact is also established that he has a wife and two children living in Alien street, this city. There will be no difficulty in settling the matter under the Massachusetts marrige law by divorce, as it was a fraudulent transaction, but as the case is being managed there does not appear to be any punishment in store for Hall. The most surprising feature of the affair is that a young lady of refined training should fall in love with so ill-looking and ill-bred a fellow as Hall. He is a cross between a mu latto and a full-blooded negro, and is not as bright as the average of decently smart col ored men. His talk since his arrest shows that be cared nothing for the girl beyond his sensual and reckless love of adventure. From the start be openly boasted that when his side of the story was known in Holyoke there would be no anxiety to take him to Massa chusetts. Thinking the circumstances would justify, the reporter spent a half hour in trying to pick the luck but his efforts were unavailing, as also were the efforts of Mr. John Rausch enberg, who tried to open the door. Finally Captains Couch and Aldridge were sent for, and when the facts were made known to them they decided to open the door. Near the door was a large stone, which Captain Aldridge seized and with hard pounding broke open the upper panel. Through this panel the reporter pushed liis arm and sought for the lock. The first thing with which his hand came in contact was a bunch of cold keys hanging suspended from the lock. ‘‘Here are a bunch of keys,” was his remark as he turned t!iem In his hand and opened the door. As soon as the door open ed there was a rush for the stairway but the captains stopped the crowd and with the reporter ascended the winding stairway lead ing to the third floor. They were lighted on their journey by a small piece of tallow dip in the hands of Captain Couch who led the way, , At the head of the stairway the trio found themselves in a large room filled with chemical apparatus, but no where could they see any solution to the pistol shot. But as they were about to turn back the reporter entered a small room facing on Decatur street and almost instantly cried out: “Here he is, deader than a door nail,” In- and each of these turned When the first effort was made to enter the door several notices, which had been tacked up by the dead-man, met the reporter’s eye. These he tore down and now prints them. They read: Notice.—Engaged dally between the hours of 8 a m,aud3pm, iu the analytical laboratory of the “Georgia chemical and mining company, at Kirk wood, Saturdays excepted.” Office hours here, 7 to 8 am, and 3 to 6 p m, Saturdays, S to lla m.

Professor Land was born In Forsyth, Geor gia. about fifty years ago. His parents, while >oor, were very worthy people, and their son, >y his attainments, has shown that he came of a good family. He was fall of energy when a young man and began the study of chemistry in Columbus, it is believed, in some govern ment works there. He educated himself and became to be one of the finest chemists in tbe state. About ten years ago he marrjed Miss Lula Melson, also of Forsyth, and they have, since their marriage, been passionately devoted to each other. .Mrs. Land is now at her father’s, at Jonesboro. They have a little chili about four years. About two or three years ago Pro fessor Land attempted suicide by taking poison. He had become addicted to the opium habib- nd his mind was unsettled. He was down on Cain street when he attempted the first destruction of his life. He was discovered and by strenuous efforts his life was saved. Later he left home ostensibly to visit New York, but when next heard of he was on board a vessel on hie way to England. While on the boat he attempted suicide by cutting his throat, bui his uttempt was a second time frustrated. He was taken to an insane asylum in England and was kept there for a while. He came back to Atlanta after being restored and began to rebuild his bus iness, which had become badly run down. His business pros pered and soon regained its old-time state. It is probable that he has never fully recov ered from his first mental derangement. He was thought by many to be the finest chemist in the state, and was state chemist at one time. INTERESTING TO POSTMASTERS. ONE HUNDRED MILES OF ICE. The Abjwlnlai'* Pasnose Through 8 warm a of Huge Iceberg*. _ New York, June 19.—The steamship Abys sinia, which arrived Saturday from Liverpool, was delayed four days longer than her average time, on account of having encountered im mense ice floes. The steamer left on the morning of tbe 3d inst., and bad been out about a week when tbe ice first made its ap pearance, in latitude 42° 40', longitude 49°50'. So sooner was tbe first iceberg espied than others put in an appearance, until presently tbe ocean seemed to swarm with them. Some of them are described as being over 200 feet in height, sugar loaf in shape, aud tapering up to a point. Several, it is declared, were over two hundred feet at the base, while all around them were floating parti cles of ice that gave them the appearance of small islands. As the steamer progressed the icebergs grew more numerous, until fi nally the captain could do no more than drift and proceed with the greatest caution. At times the Abyssinian passed within 400 yards of tbe largest ice floes. From the dis covery of the first iceberg until the vessel was entirely clear of ice Captain Bently says that fully one hundred miles were traveled. On Tuesday the vessel traveled through a whole fleet of icebergs, varying in size from fifty to one hundred feet in length. The captain says that in his seventeen years’ ex perience in those waters he never saw so much ice. The ice encountered, he states, comes fiom the coast of Labrador, is carried by the currents through Davis’ strait into the gulf stream, where fa finally dissolves in the warmer atmosphere.

No gazing^pdn one of the litpnt limrttili ani rible suicides thzjt was evei i enacted. Upbn a couch near the w indow lay th'e dead boff/"t>f a man whom neitherof the three knew. His body was almost swimming in a pool of blood, while his face and hair were absolutely covered with the same crim son fluid. The pallet upon which he rested was made of two blankets, and across his body, which was devoid of everything except his underclothes, was thrown a piece of old- carpet. He was lying flat upon his back with his head turned slightly to the left. His left arm was stretched beside bis body while his right arm rested across his breast. In the right hand was a new silver mounted ivory handle pistol with its muzzle within two .inches of his chin. . The face had already assumed the hue which follows death, but the powder-burn which cauie with the fatal wound enhanced the horrible appearance of the suicide. A glance showed that the ball which lately had the chamber of the pis tol for its home had been securely imbedded just behind the right ear, making a terrible bole, from which the brain was slowly oozing, while beside his body on the right lay a large dirk covered with blood, which was not yet dry. The presence of the blood-covered dirk, with the excessive amount of blood around the body, induced tbe belief that an artery bad been severed, and when a hole, such as a sharp knife only would make, was found in the left arm just above the elbow, this theory was established in the minds of the three as in the darkened room they gazed ■pon the dead man. Near the pallet they also found two small graduates such as are used in drug stores. In one of these was some water, while only a drop or two of liquid showed itself in its companion. The odor which arose from the empty graduate was new to the silent witnesses, but .they instantly suspected that it had contained poison, and that the dead man bad sought three modes of exit from this world. Words are inadequate to express the ap pearance of the body as the three viewed it in the dark room aided only by the dim light of a candle. The undershirt was open and the breast was bare except where it was covered by the band, arm and pistol of the suicide. The face was terribly disfigured with burnt power, and the beard and 1 air were matted with the .flood, which lately gave it life. The mouth was wide open and the long, even teeth showed themselves through the thin mustache. The blood had covered the back of the head and neck until all traces of the skin were lost to view. The pistol was a new, beautiful one, and its ability to do good ser vice was given an enhanced value by the blood which it had innocently drawn that was spattered over it. To add to the horrible sight witnessed at tbe dead hour of night by the three men, a swarm of bugs began crawling over the breast and face of the suicide, but these were brushed away by the silent witnesses as they closed their eyes to shut out the sickening sight. All this was seen in an instant, and then each spectator looked at the other and silently asked, “who is he,” but in the same silence, all then gave the answer, ignorance dictated. “Maybe some one below knows,” said Capt. Couch. “This is Land’s office, the chemist. See if any one knows him.” Descending to the foot of the stairway the reporter told the crowd, which by this time was fully twen- 2 strong, that their fears were true at there had been a pistol shot, and that it had been a fatal one. He then as ted if any one present knew Land. Two gentlemen re plied in the affirmative. They were Mr. John Rauschenberg and Dr.Burgnnd.and soon thev were beside the dead man, whom they recog nized as William J. Land, the chemist. Without disturbing ‘the body or tbe in struments of death the police officers ordered the room to be vacated, and in an instant the dead man was left alone with a pistol, a knife, a lamp and a swarm of hungry bugs for his companions. Before leaving the room, how ever, a search was made for some clue to the cause of the sui- Detectives Looking Alter Offleen Derelict In the Re ceipt and Delivery Law. Warsaw, N. Y., June 24.—The United States post office department, one year ago, ordered that all letters received from other offices for distribution at any government post-office must be post-marked “received” on the reverse, and all postal cards on the address side, with date, and, if possible, the hour on which they were received, deeming that, whatever inconvenience might be occa sioned by a few minutes’ delay then incurred, would be amply compensated for by the cer tainty with which the delay in delivery could be detected by the date of receipt as well as the dispatch which would then be on every let ter. This order, however, has been a dead let- ■ ter in a majority of the post-offices, and espe-- cially in the smaller ones, although the poet-- master-general declined to exempt any post- office htom the requirements of tbe order. To day ar gentleman whom Representative Lines thought was a government detective, visited Warsaw. When found at a hotel lie had envelopes which had been received per sonally at different post-ollioes in Pennsylva nia and New York. Nearly every °U e was: positive evidence of the general indiffer*®!** paid to this useful postal law. Postmasters I? Pennsylvania were especially derelect ' in this duty’. The gentleman thought that the importance of this rule was not gen erally understood; that some postmasters be grudged the time required to carry it out, as well as disliking constantly to be detected by errors in distribution, which causes delay in mail matter. The recording of each post- office as following or not following the in structions was neatly done in a book seem ingly ruled and prepared for the purpose. It may be possible that these records will soon prove a reason for severing the official heads of postmasters where stalwarts may be de sired to transplant the half-breed postmasters throughout New York and Pennsylvania. A JUDGE’S AIM. A Remarkable Scene In a Washington Coart Room- Star Route Counsel Disagree* Special to the Philadelphia Press. Washington, June 22.—There was more than the customary amount of Washington malaria in the district court rooms to-day. In the equity court, before Judge Hagner, an attorney named Miller attempted to file a divorce bill. The judge held that it was not in order at the time to present the bill. The lawyer disputed the ruling of the court, and throwing his papers on the judge’s desk, turned about to leave the court. Tbe irate magistrate picked up the papers and sent them flying against tbe head ana shoulders of the departing attorney. The latter turned quickly and approached the bench in athreat- ening manner. After some parleying the judge came to the conclusion that his manner bad been hasty and undignified and he apol ogized. The lawyer also expressed his regret and begged the pardon of the court, after which business again moved along slowly. The opposing attorneys in the star route cases have displayed a great deal of acrimony in their discussions since the trial began, ft was generally supposed that this ill-feeling was not maintained outside of thtr court until Colonel Bob Ingersoll, with much emphasis, not long ago, culled Colonel George Bliss a liar. During the progress Df the trial this morning opposing counsel showed no dispo sition to oblige each other, and later in the day Mr. Ingersoll, during a war of words, re quested government’s counsel not to speak to him. Mr. Merrick replied that the request would be most cheerfully obeyed, so far as he was concerned, and if he could help it, none of his associates would hereafter address Col onel Ingersoll. * The Tax os Drummer*.
