He told where his pension papers could be found, and selected his undertaker. But 8 cents of money were found in his pockets. Edward J. Quinn, proprietor of the Oro- noco, called Policeman Elliott early yester- day morning and told him a man in one of the upstairs rooms had committed suicide. The officer went up to the room and found Lowne lying on the bed partially dressed. Thinking he might yet be alive, he sent for the Emergency Hospital ambulance. When @ surgeon arrived he said the man had becr dead some time. Coroner Hammett was called and issued a certificate, stating that suicide was the cause of death. Lowne came here a few days ago and left his trunk in the office of McDowell Car- rington, at 506 6th street. He worked abo the office and lived at a lodging house, 22 Pennsylvania avenue. He is said to have told Mr. Carringtcn that he intended to kill himeeif. The suicide had taken off his overcoat, coat and shoes, and as a half cunce of mor- phia was found on the table, it is believed he took a dose and then turned on the two gas burners in the room. He was a mem- ber of the Grand Army and will probably be buried by his comrades. — The Washington Headquarters Associa- tion. a sociey for the preservation of the property at Princeton which George Wash- ington occupied as headquarters during the revolutionary war, has been formed.
