Sr. Louis, Dec. 31.—Joseph B. McCullsgh, editor of the Globe-Democrat, attired only in his night clothes, leaped from the window of his bedroom some time between midnight spd daybreak and dashed his brains oat on the stone flagging of the yard. At <;MI a. m. one of the stable boys employed by Mrs. Kate Manion. of *83? "West Pine boulevard, with whom Mr. McCnllagh resided, found the body cold in death. The skull was battered in and the brains were scattered about on the flagging. “Mr. McCullagh gave no premonition of suicidal tendency doring hia Illness of the past few months. Dr. CL H. Hughes, his physician, saw him for a little while Wednesday evening. McCullagh said he felt sleepy and gave the doctor to understand he wanted to be left alone.

"lie suffered from profound nervous exhaustion, complicated with a recurring kidney trouble and an asthmatic affection. The late political campaign had undermined his health.” No writings were found in Mr. MeCullagh's room explaining his act or leaving instructions for the arrangement of his affairs. Mr. McCullagh’s illness first came upon him shortly after the close of the late Republican national convention. It took the lorm of acute asthma, complicated with nervous depression. When he passed through the acute stage he found himself slow in recovery. His limbs had lost their vigor, his arms were numb and there were premonitions that the brain had come under the same shadowy spelL Mr. McCullagh would not admit that he was failing either physically or mentally. He insisted on managing his newspaper from his bed-room. All through the day he sat in his armchair wrapped in blankets, received reports from his subordinates and gave them orders for the conduct of the paper. (Joseph B.

St. Locia, Jan. 3.—There can be little doubt that Joseph B. McCullagh took hia own life. According to the sworn statement of Dr. Char les Hamilton Hughes for two years the late editor’s physician, Mr. McCullagh made what appears to have been an attempt at suicide as t early as December 23. “That afternoon,” said Dr. Hughes in his statement before Coroner Wait Friday morning, “I called on Mr. Me- j Cullagh and left a four-ounce bottle J containing two ounces of digitalis, or j foxglove, a very poisonous medicine, j which is administered for the purpose j of regulating the heart, and which is j recognized by the medicdl fraternity I as a valuable heart tonic. “During the night Mr. McCullagh j drank a little more than an ounce of j the drug—a dose that was quite suf- | ficient to have caused death. But his | stomach was too weak to retain it { The medicine caused violent purging j and vomiting, aud most of it was : ejected from his system. Part of it ! was a bo r bed, however, and the action i of his heart was considerably weak- j ened. “The next morning, the day before j Christmas, I called again,” said Dr. : Hughes, “and was greatly suiprised j and alarmed when I discovered rthat j so much, of the drug was gone, i asked him if he had taken it and he j said he had. He admitted that he knew the deadly character of the drug, but did not seem to be at all j concerned about the matter. 1 gave him medicine calculated to restore him to the condition of the day before, and the matter was not discussed aftef ward. “1 am satisfied that Mr. McCullagh j could not have taken the medicine by

JL UCIC w 03 UU VUUC1 iu the room at ail resembling the one containing the digitalis, aud there was no othermedicine at hand that would have produced a fatal result. “1 at once connected the circum* stance with a conversation we had only a few weeks ago, in which he mentioned Abraham Lincoln. “Mr. McCullagh maintained that, in the light of history, the assassination of Lincoln was a fortuuate thing for his fame. ‘It is a good thiug,’ he said, ‘for a man to die at the right time.' As% general proposition he maintained that when a man outlived his period of usefulness, it was time for him to die. “Still he did not seem to apply this theory to himself, for he would never admit that he was not a well man." “There was no pathological condition of his organs that would have resulted in death at an early date. Bright's disease was not established, and there were no indications of softening of the brain. His principal trouble was a'cerebral strain, uue to overwork, which might have been cared had he been content to follow instructions. “1 had known Mr. MeCullaglf for 30 years. 1 had been his physician since October. It>b4, and knew his physical , condition intimately. - “Considering all the circumstances surrounding, his life and death, my impression is—aud it can only be an impression, since nobody witnessed the deed—that he committed suicided” ‘ Coroner Wait interposed a theory, and asked Dr. Hughes if heahought a ; man of Mr. McCullagh’s intelligence would resort to such means of self-de-struction. J ^ “It is not a question of intelligence,” said Dr. Hughes. “It is a question of mood, of impulse. Men of the highest intelligence resort to selfdestruction w hen they are sick. The f slightest annoyance may'cause men to do things that are not insane, but rash and impulsive, when in bad health, that would otherwise pats unnoticed." j

Hanking, Etc., Compiled hr B. U. Dan A Co. New Ygkk, Jan. 2.—R. O. Dun&Co.'s. weekly review of trade says: There hare been more commercial failure* in 1806 than in any previous year except 1893, about 14,890, against 13,19; last year, with liabilities of about #225,000.000, against $173,196,060 ast year, an increase Ln number of about 13 per cent, and in liabilities of 3V per cent. The holiday makes it impossible to give exact figures until next week, but the monthly returns heretofore prepared show that t33.WO.Oft) of the excess over last year was in two months. August and September, in which manufacturing liabilities were $16,600,000 larger than last year, trading <10,100.000 and brokers' and other commercial #10.300.000 larger. Of the latter class for the whole year. #11,0(1,416 oat of about tIS.600,030 were in those two months of the manufacturing class. $24,910,366 out of about (96.260,OOJ were ln those two months, and of trading Class <21,831,880 out of about (11*8.500,000. The rate of defaulted liabili ties of the dear-ing-house exchange was H37 pertEGOfe-sg^lnst $3.26 last year and #6.36 in 1893. The averag^of defaulted liabilities per firm in business was $190.57. against #146 last year and $290.66 In 1893! The exact statement of states and by branches of business will be given next week. For the first time detaitod monthly statements are also published for the last quarter of the panic year —1863—shewing commercial liabilities amounting to $64,000,000. The year doses with an epidemic of failures, mainly in the west and in banks, loan and trust companies, or concerns dependent on them. The action of clearing-houses in various places indicates no want of confidence, and several banks which have failed will be enabled to pay in full, but disclosures of unsoundness in a few widely-known institutions in the abnormal state of fear after an excitiig contest on money issues, has caused distrust and suspicion, where it is frequently undeserved. There has been no monetary pressure to cause trouble, nor have important Western products declined in value. There has evidently been too liberal assistance given by some of the concerns to speculative operations. With Won. coke, wool, cotton and h'des somewhat lower, there is almost universal confidence that business will soon become large and safer than before in a long time, and several Age establishments, among them the Yonkers'Ogpct works, which employs 7.<’00 hands when full, and the Maryland Steel company wi^l now start operations. Cotton mills have enormous stocks of unsold goods in some lines, the surplus of print cloths being the largest ever known and about a quarter of a ye-r’s consumption. Wool sales decreased 31 per cent, in the first four mouths, and were smaller than for five years; decreased 36 per cent, in the second four months when new woo: was coming forward, and were much the smallest ever known except in the panic of 1873: but enormous sales, mainly speculative, made the aggregate during the last four months nearly equal to that of last year. Wheat has risen to the highest point since Juue, 1892, because western receipts in five weeks have been but 13,290,006 bushels, against £2,605,367 last year, Atlantic exports, flour included, have been, in five weeks,9,9ftJ.OOO bushels, against 10,613,249 last year. The ex Arts irom New York in December were 6 per cent.' larger and imports 12 per cent, smaller than last year.

RESOLUTIONS On th« Death or Kditor McCuilagh Adopted by Newspaper Men of SU Louis. St. Louis, Jan. 3.—At a meeting of representative newspaper men of the city held in Odd Fellows’ building, and presided over by Hon. Norman J. Column, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted touching the death of Joseph 11 McCuilagh: Whereas. The late Joseph B. McCuilagh, editor of the Globe-Democrat, has come to his death under circumstances that lend it an added sorrow in the community in which t a lived and worked, and Whereas. It is proper that his associates and comrades in newspaper work in St. Louis should in some formal manner express their grief and regret at this melancholy and tt agio event: therefore, lUtoit td, That it is the sense of the newspaper men of St. Louis iu meeting assembled. that in the death of Joseph B. McCuilagh the profession of Journalism, whose scope he extended and to which his genius brought an enlarged influence wherever his work was known, has sustained an irreparable loss; in the opinion of his co-workers Mr. McCuiiagh had won a conspicuous place in the foremost ranks of the journalism of the country, and he won it not only by native ability and adaptation for the work, but by that tireless energy, diligence and exalted conception of his duty to his readers and to the geueral public that must inspire all newspaper work that is at once great and wholesome. JUtUecd, That the loss to journalism which results from Mr. McCuliagh’s death, will be felt in a special sense in the city of St Louis, with whose uress he was identitied during almost the entire period of his active life, to whose growth and influence he contributed in almost unexampled-measure, and which.though lie died in the prime of life, he saw developed from the dimensions of a smalt city into the great commercial metropolis and intellectual center of the Mississippi valley. titioleed, That upon us. his co-workers in the profession in which he was a prominent tigure. his death falls with a sense of personal loss. We recognize in him a man who not only adhered to a high standard of professional work, but who brought to that work conscience as well as intelligence and sincere convictions, and who concealed beneath an impassive exterior a heart that beat Warmly for his fellow men and especially for his fellow-craftsmen, whose charities were extensive, but never known through any disclosures of his own. whose integrity was never imoeached. and whose purse and sympathies were always at the commando! the unfortunate and of those in distress. Umpired, That the secretary of this meeting is hereby instructed to have a copy of these resolutions duly engrossed, authenticated by the signatures of the chainnma and secretary and delivered to the surviving members of Mr McCuilagh'* family.

JOSEPH M'CULLAGH'S DEATH, Til* Coromt*! Jury l)«clar« tc the Braill of Aeel<l*at. St. Lons, Jan. 3.—The conclusion ol j the coroner's jury in the case of Joseph ; B. McCuiiagh, late editor of the Globe- ! Democrat, whose traffic death has ; been announced, notwithstanding the 1 belief of Dr. Hughes that the deceased committed suicide, was that death was i due to a fracture of the skull, received | from a fall from a window while under j the influence of sleep and gas, the re- , suit ol an accident.

Snow with a FaUtug Temperature i' Throathout Minnesota and the BikoUi, Where Train* are Delayed by Drifting Snow—Chicago Inundated by Kalua. Winter In the Northwest. St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 3.—A blizzard is blowing to-night in this section I over an area 4*w miles north . and | south and 600 miles east and west. . Over most of Minnesota it has been I snowing lrom 14 to20hoars, and there | is from seven inches to 16 inches of snow on the ground. The wind is blowing a gale from the north. The snow is damp and packs so solidly on I the railway tracks that it is difficult I for the snow plows to work through it. [ The snow has also made a wreck of the telegraph wires to the north and west of St. Paul. Ail traios are still mov- | ing, though some of‘them are hours late. South Dakota dispatches say I the storm extends as far west as the I Black Hills. In the region along the | Missouri river, from Chamberlaic south | to the North Dakota line, railway I trains have great difficulty iu moving, | some of them having been abandoned i for the night. The temperature is ! from 15 to 18 degrees above zero, i though at o’clock it was growing colder. There will he suffering amoug I live stock if the mercury drops to I zero.

An Old-Fashioned Blizzard. Omaha, Neb., Jan. s.—Nebraska is just now enjoying an old-fashioned blizzard, the most serious of the wintor. New Years day was springlike and mild, but Friday night the temperature began to fall and the mercury has continued its descent since. Last evening a snow storm set in, which is general throughout the state, aud which is still falling to-night. High | winds are drifting the snow, aud if they continue through the night may make 1 the situation on the plains alarming. At ten o'clock to-night the thermometer at the local weather bureau registered three degrees above zero, and the chances are that the temperature will fail several points below zero before to-morrow night. Serious suffer- | ing is sure to result in thefentral portion of the state, where the wind has fall sway. From every section of the state come reports of winds driving the snow in blinding clouds before it so that it is dangerous for anyone to venture out. At Meadow Grove the storm began aboot midnight Saturday night and a blizzard has been raging ever sinc^with no signs of abatement. Drifts are over ten feet high aud traffic is becoming blocked. Hardy reports 18 hours of continuous snow and wind and serious drifting. From that place and Central City come stories of a like nature with high drifts and falling temperature, as xthe night approached the storm seeming to increase in violence, with every prospect of its continuing for many hours. There is much stock being cared for on the ranges in Nebraska and it will be several days be-" fore news is received as to how the herds and those in charge have been affected. Lincoln is almost snow-bound. Street car traffic on suburban lines was abandoned during the day and at 9 o'clock nearly every line was blocked. Trains on nearly every road entering the city are delayed. Specials from over the state indicate that the storm is general and that cattle on the range may suffeju^

Chicago Deluged with Rain. Chicago, Jan. a.—The rain storm which has prevailed over Chicago and northern Illinois uninterruptedly for three days has been the severest experienced in this locality for two years. The observations taken at the weather bureau in this city to-night showed that the rainfall was 2}* inches since the beginning of the storm early New Year’s morning. The temperature fell 20 degrees in this city during the last eight hours, and at 11 o'clock to-night the rain turned to snow. It is not expected by the weather bureau that the thermometer will reach the zero mark, although they predict a temperature considerably below freezing before to-morrow evening. In Chicago considerable damage was j done by tbe downpour of rain, especially in the suburbs, where the sewers were insufficient to carry away the volume of water. Flooded cellars j were numerous, while at Grand Crossing and nearby suburbs the streets j were inundated and the damage heavy. | In , low places it is impossible for pe- j destrians to move without wading in deep water and boats were brought into use. At Austin' and Oak Park, on the j West Side, the conditions were annoy- j log. Basements are flooded with aev- ! eral feet of water and furnace fires in many localities were extinguished. The pumping works at Bridgeport sre being operated with great difficulty. It was thought at one t^me j this evening that the pumps would j have to be shot down on account | of the rapidly accumulating water, bnt the fi jodgates were resorted to and the water tent on its journey down me cau&L A concrete sidewalk surrounding the ! Lincoln bank at Michigan and Clark streets collapsed during the afternoon as a result of rain. C. B. Roser, a barber of Rave ns wood, was the only person in front of the building at the time. He was precipitated to the basement adistanee of several feet, but was rescued from his impromptu bath uninjured. A fence was hastily erected about the opening. A number of cedar block pavements in various parte of the city were also more or leas damaged by the water. In many instances tbe blocks have been floated out of position by the water and the street left In an Impassable cnnditiqp
