It Is asserted here, caused the suicide of Dr. William Hudson Duly, former surgeou in the I'nited Slates army, personul friend uf General Miles uud originator of the "embalmed beef" scandal. Dr. Daly killed himself with a revolver in Pitts burg a few days ago and it was given out there that the suicide was the resud of melancholia brought on by the death of his wife. From the most' reliable sources it is learned here, however, that the unfortu nate man hnd invested largely In local in vestments ami lost heavily. Chief among these were the securities of tho Muryland Browing company, which were flouted ut high figure and which huve greatly de preciated in value. Dr. Daly's losses in this class of securities alone are said to have vsched $7.'i,0U0. A check drawn I'V the dead surgeon for a large sum. fated the day preceding his death, has neen received by one of the local trust companies, and is supposed to represent a portion of these losses.
