Lying In the Morgue, awaiting a
topsier, are tho unidentified bodies of
two j-oung men who committed suicide
within an hour of each other In Central
Park last night. One used a revolver:
the other poison. The latter case wa
reported as one of death from natural
causes until an Evening World reporter
discovord to-day, among the man's ef.
feels, an empty ibottlo which tho police
thought had contained -whiskey, but
Which had been the receptacle for a
solution of cyanide of potassium.
James Cars of No. tS East Klfty-
flxth street, walking In the park tit
o'clock yesterday afternoon, started
to climb tho hill to the lower end of tho
reservlor, and came upon the body cf
a young man In a thlckot. A revolver
lay alongside tho body. Policeman
rowers was close uy and attended to
the removal of the suicide's foody to
tho Morgue.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN ARTIST OR
STUDENT.
Ho was a good looking, well set up
young fellow, this suicide, with long
darl: brown hair, carefully parted in the
tniaciM un'l combed lo.vn' over a well
shaped Jcad. He was probably about
nineteen cr twenty yeirs oil. a stu
dent, perhaps, or an artist Tattooed
on lila right, forearm Is tho bust of
fullor. He woro Mack clothes of very
tine material and a gray plaid cap. HI
gray leuther belt was practically new,
It could not havo been worn more than
two or three days. In the pockets of
the clothing were found twelve cent
and two clean, folded white handker
chiefs.
There are no tailor marks on the
apparel ot the dead youth. Examination
of the revolver shows that he took
rhanco In kllllnu lilmsolf. only on
chamber of the weapon 'was loaded
Ho rent tho single bullet through hi
heart.
Tho body of the second suicide was
found, about 8 o'clock off the West
Drlvo near One Hundred tnd Seventh
street, by Henry Holawerth of No. 313
East Eighty-first street. The man was
apparently about .thirty years old. Th
tailor's mark was cut out of his black
suit. His hat was bought at one of th
llease-Uoynton chain of stores In New
England.
BOTTLE GIVES CLUE POLICE DID
NOT FIND.
Notwithstanding that tho clothln
had been freshly cut to destroy tho
marks, the man was on the police rec
ords us having died naturally, until an
Evening World, man got busy with the
effects of the, strunger to-day. One
whiff of tho empty bottle told what IL
had contained.
The suicide carried another bottle. In
It were flvo dead flies big green flies,
larger than a horse fly or blue .bottle
tii. Ho had a gunmetal watch on
which appear the numbers ll.ZUS and
In a Jeweler's box In his pocket
marked "Shrove wo,, Ban i-ranclsco,'
ho carried a stickpin set with a pearl
and a peculiar blue stone. In a worn
little leather purse were 12 In bills and
some small change.
Although he cut away the tailor'
marks on the lining ot his clothes, tho
suicide overlooked the Insldo of hi
Inner waistcoat pocket. There, wrltte
in Ink, was the namo "E. Uohen, Ha

bought at the toro of "Horace and

WASHINGTON, Slay 15. Senator
Lorlmcr of Illinois will receive word
direct from his friends In the Senate
that they cannot hopo to save him In
his fight for tho retention of his scat'.'
Wlil!e It Is not admitted, that Lorlmcr
wlU bo urged to resign, it Is known that
he has already practically received ad
vice to do ro and It
decide on that course.
Vice-President Sherman left Washing
ton last night for Chicago., It was said
his mission nns private business, but It
was rumored that ho would fco Senator
Lorlmer and communicate to him tho
result ot a poll of the Senate that had
Just been concluded. That poll shows:
Certain for Lorlmcr, V); certain to op
pose him, 33; doubtful, 18. Thero Is one
vacancy.
The attitude ot tho Senators whoso
votes are classed as doubtful has given
tho friends of Senator Lorlmer much
concern. Although nearly a week has
gone by since the poll was made the
IO rimer supporters have not been able
to add one namo to their list. Thoso
classed as doubtful have refused to glvo
to the 'Lorlmer men any Indications of
their Intentions.
Lorlmer men wero forced to the con
clusion that tho list of doubtful votes
was too large to glvo them any chance
to win If the case wero brought to vote.
It was decided, therefore, to submit the
exact situation to Senator Lorlmer.
There was no one of the lorlmsr
npportsra authorized to apsak for the
junior Illinois Senator to-day, but it
was argued that he should resign and
not farther meleisly embarrass big
frlanai in what they fslt would be
futile battle. It was argued farther
tnat senator j.orcxntr snouia be con
tent to rest on his former victory, and
the fact that a majority of the com
mittee which lnvtiUrattd the charges
the Mcond time bad reported In his
faror.
Finally, It was agreed that the only
thing that could be done would be to
present the situation to the Senator
himself, HIb health has been Impaired
throughout most ot the present session
and he has been unable to remain here
to look after his own intercuts. It was
thought that he might bo Influenced to
abandon the light on that account.
CHICAOO, May 25.Vlce-Prosldent
Sherman Is believed to have arrived In
Chicago to-day. Whether IiIh visit has
anything to do with tho reported col
lapse of the Lorlmer defense waa a
matter of conjecture, as the Vice. Presi
dent was reported to havo left the
train at Knglowood, some distance from
the heart of the city, and to have given
ao bjrit of hU dMtlnaUoa.
