DEATH OF GEN. GEORGE F. D'UTASSY.
  WILMINGTON, DEL., May 5.--Gen. Geo.
F. D'Utassy, of Baltimore, who was found
unconscious in his room at the Hotel Wil-
lis, this city, last Saturday morning from
the effects of inhaling gas, died at the
Delaware hospital this afternoon. He was
unconscious all the time.  His wife,
brother, and a business associate were with
him at the time of his death.
  There now seems no doubt that the un-
fortunate affair was an accident, and not
an act of suicide. It is said for the de-
ceased that his business affairs were in
good shape, his family relations perfect,
and that there were no troublesome mat-
ters calculated to so prey upon his mind
as to induce him to take his own life. The
belief is that while up during the night he
accidently turned on the gas and, falling
asleep again before detecting the poison-
ous air, was soon asphyxiated. His re-
mains will be taken to Baltimore for inter-
ment.
  Gen. D'Utassy was a soldier of some re-
nown, who saw service in the Crimean 
war and was conspicuous in the war of
the rebellion. He was sixty-five years old,
and was a thirty-third degree Mason.
