THIS WOItljD'S PA1K.
Plan or the Foreisn AfTalra Commlt-
tot to Settle tlio S to Question
Washington , Jan 10. The discussion of
the worlds fuir bill by the house committco
on foreign nffairs resulted in bringing for
ward u proposition which it Is suggested may
aid in ttio selection of a Blto for the fair by
the house The committco already has de-
.
cided that it will teportu bill leaving a blunk
for the city where the fair is to bo held , but
it Is feared if it goes into the house in that
shape nnd without some arrangement in ad- 1
vance to govern the method of the selection
of the slto no agreement can over bo reached 1.
Under ordinary parliamentary rules the
probable course of proceedings in the
housu ) would bo for some member
to t move to insert the name of
the t slto Some other members would
thereupon I move to strike out that name nud
to I inscit another On a vote on tuis last
proposition | the opposition would comblno to
defeat i It and this would probably bo the futo
of < the original uud succeeding motions , the
advocates i of the different cities desiring to
sccuro * the proposed fnlr killing each other
off ' In succession To avoid this the sub com '
mltteo ' churgod with the consideration of the ! ?
fair bill has hint from
' u the action of the
uppropilutlon ! sommittco in securing the nl- [
tcrnatlvo upon a certain clause of the Dist
trictof Columbia appropriation bill and In-
clitics ' to report a special proposition which
will . provide for repeated ballots In the
house upon ttio question pf naming a slto for
the fair with an agreement that on each bal
lot * ho name of the city receiving the least
number of votes shall bo dropped , and In
this wuy it.is believed a conclusion can soon
bo reached ,

Di'lven to nespnrntion ,
The first sulcldo of this now year in
Oinntin occurred yostctday with
very soma
tlonal features , when Kamtiol L Uhrop she
himself on his own promises , 2310 Ohio
street ,
. Lathrop hns been known for a long time
in this city us n sober , Industrious man ,
about twenty-soven jcars old , with 11 sickly
wife and a very bright llttlo baby boy to
support His employment consisted of
peddling ' cooking utensils
During the past few dn\s ho tins been
very despondent For some tlnio past ho
tins | , been compelled to neglect his work lu
order to cm0 for his sick wlfo In neglect
ing Ills work thu household supplto-t and gen
eral expenses had been seriously affected
Yesterday morning It seems that his utterly
disheartening circumstances resulted in Iiih
making the resolve to kill himself Ho uroso
qulto ' ] early , attended to numorotis chorus ,
about the house and than prepared for
dcatrr . | Ho shaved himself , put on his best
suit of clothes , wout down town evidently ,
in , view of later developments , to secure the
menus for taking his lito When ho returned
homo 1 ; ho moved nboul thu house In n tit of
great , , despondency thnt to his wife hud In it
the nppenranco of a terrible dosporatioti
Now uud then ho would dash aside great
tears and utter expiossions llko "Aly fiod ,
why must a man ba so poor and so Imposed ,
upon , so wronged I"
Finally ho grew calm , nnd after assisting
his 1 wiTu uud child to get their dinner ho left
the t bousn
At 2lo : o'clock three pistol shots , coining
from ( the vicinity ot the barn on Luthrop's
place 1 , tcok a number ot the neighbors totlint
bulliling t It needed but a glance inside the
door to reveal the young husband and father
prone [ upon Ills back with a smoking pistol In
his ! hand and a torrent of blood gusnlugfroui
hisbrcast
Among the first on the sccho was a nelgh-
bor 1 named 1M001-0 , Moore happened to know
that t al that instant Dr L. P. Lord was vis
iting ' a patient next door to Lathrop's house ,
and I ho rushed after him Dr Lord lost no
tluia in accompany ing Moore buck to the
barn
, The doctor found Lathrop lying upon a.
brond , board , breiitblng heavily , with u now
Smith < ! b Wesson 1)2 ) calloro revolver
j by his side Lathrop had utibut-
toned bis coat und vest uud thrown
them back before shooting himself A largo
holewas found burned hi the shirt , over the
cardiac region of the chest , .
. Lullirop was pulsolcss und cold , his heart
acting feebly , and ha was muttering und
groaning The doctor gave him stimulants
and ordered him reuiovod Into the house ,
which is seventy feet fiom the stable
Lathrop rallied und talked ubout his net ,
and i seomcrf perfectly rational , Ho regrcttpu
Intensely what ho had done , and expressed
tbo eurnest houo that ho might yctllto for *
the sake of his wife and boy He satd that _ „ ,
poverty huddrlvon.him to desperation ; that
he first fired two shots to attract thu illtcu-
tion of thu neighbors , and a third shot ho
endeavored , lo lire tluough his heart
After mailing these statements the poor
telloiv gradually became unconscious The
ball had ontorcd to the right of the left nip
ple and had passed over tha base of the
heart , making u necessarily fatal wound
lie lingered until 0:15 : lust evening , when
death ' eamo
Cotonor Hnrrlgan was notified , took
charge of the body and held nil inquest The
only witnesses oxaniinod were Dr Lord und
Fred Joregeiisan , a mall carrierllvingalmost
diicctly opposite to the Lathrop homo Their

In a vest pocket on the body of the da-
