HILDERBRAND.
The Missouri Buchwhacker.

day or two since we gave the particulars of
:an attempt by seventeen men to capture this
notorious Missouri desperate, which was rot
only Intellectual, but sadly fatal to a number of
the assailing party. The following incident is
just given publicity
At the close of the war he went to Texas, and
returned to st. Francois county about year
ago in poor circumstances He gave out that
he wanted to settle up his mothers estate, from
which he expected some $500 or $400. Poverty
drove him to engage in hard work. He chopped
cord wood for a time at Rush Tower Bend, some
thirty miles below St. Louis One day he went
to DE Soto, and a friend who was with him
asked Colonel Bill Fletcher If he would like to
see Hilderbrand. The Colonel replied that he
would shoot him at sight. Hilderbrand then
tapped Fletcher on the shoulder, and said he
the man. Fletcher, it is said, forgot his
brave words and promised to let Hilderbrand
alone, if the latter would do the same by him.
The following incident is related:-Sinee the
row Hilderbrand was shot through the leg by
Jack Smith, and his wounds were dressed by q
woman who afterwards married a man who
squandered all her means. He then left his wife
and lived with her negro servant in Arkansas.
Hilderbrand, stung with resentment at the way
in which the woman who attended to him while
sick was treated went with few men, and,
tying the man and negress together, flung them
into the river. For this act HilderbTand was
tried and sentenced to be hung. Before the time
of execution, two hundred men, clothed in
Federal uniform, went to the jail and demanded
that the prisoner be given to them. The jailor
supposed Lne ODJecJ was TO lyncn MIN, instead OF
which they put him on horse and he made his
escape. Hilderbrand is described as of tall,
slender form, sharp features, grey eyes, and red
hair He has feminine voice, steps as lightly
as an Indian, and can clear seven-rall fence
with the agility of deer. Like SCOTS "Rob
Roy McGregor," he possesses boldness, sagacity,
and prudence, qualities highly necessary in war,
which become vices when misdirected. His
father was farmer in rather bad repute, and
his mother died of grief after the massacre of
Der fpmiy.

. INSANE.

Here is one of the recorded instances of where
an unsuccessful oflice-hunter has become insane.
1t is told by an Albany On. Y } paper
Among the numerous applicants for position
in the post office was German named Charles
Saulyer, resident of the First ward and for
some time past in the employ of Lyman j. Lloyd.
He is a man of family, and always regarded as a
good citizen. 1t seems that he had become SO
thoroughly impressed with the belief that his
application would be granted that disappoint-
ment rendered him insane. The first intmation
his wife had of n change in his mental condition
when he told her to wake him up early in
the morning as he had to go to the post office to
carry letters After that he would not converse
with any person, not even with his wife, and re-
manned perfectly mate. He procured his gun,
went to his bedroom and barricaded the door
to prevent any one from entering. There
he remained for several hours, when he finally
fell asleep from sheer exhaustion. Then it was
that his wife procured the assistance of few
neighbors, who succeeded in effecting en-
trance to the room without being heard by its
occupant, who was then secured. Physicians
were summoned, who pronounced Sauver TO be
laboring under an alteration of mind, and upon
their certificates the unfortunate disappointed
oflice-seeker was removed to the County Insane
Asylum.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE..
OFFICE OF THE EVENING TE1EaRApHl

Thursday June IL 1905
The slight degree of Improvement in trade during
the current week has stimulated somewhat the de-
mand for loans but in the present condition of the
money sources no pressure exists. We notice no
tendency to contraction on the part of banks,
save in conhning their discountng transactions to
their regular depositors; but yesterday and to-day
good paper has been taken up from outside makers
when endorsed by well-known signatures. This is
certainly no indication Of weakness fear OF ap-
preaching stringency. In this respect however,
market is in favorable contrast with most others
the seaboard where currency is and the rates
severe. The cause may probably be found in the
absence OF the speculative spirit which characterzes
other cities. Call loans easily made at Soc per
cent, the former on pledge of Governments and
discounts range from to per cent? according to
credit
In Government bonds there is a slight upward
movement, without much activity. Gold opened at
1881, but Is a little weak at the second board the
closing quotation being 1881.
There was a moderate degree OF activity in the
stock market to-day, and prices were stronger.
State loans quiet with sales of the third series
at 109. City 6s changed hands at 100 for the new
certificates. Lehigh gold loan sold at 93E, eX in
terest "
Reading Railroad was the most active on the list
opening ut 49H and closing at 499&. PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad was quiet at 81. Camden and Amboy Rail-
road sold at 29A, Lehigh Valley sold at 5Gi and
NOrristown Railroad at 90.
Canal shares were without Improvement. 1917 was
bid for Schuykil Navigation preferred, and 36k for
Lehigh Navigation.
Nothing was done in Coal, Bank or Passenger
Railway stocks. 2T offered for Spruce and Pine

July Interest ofTennessee State Bonds-CIaims
Against the Commonwealth.
Despatch 20 The Epening Telegraph.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, June lit is aseertained
from official sources that there Is little or no
probability of the State being able to meet the
July interest on its bonds and that the different
railroads cannot pay the interest on the large
amount Of bonds loaned them, which will leave
Controller Blackburn without any resource save
that Of ruinous borrowing.
The amount of claims against the State on the
first of July will be about 81, 100000 It is
thought that the outstanding claims can be
cleared up by the LIST of September, inasmuch
as the taxes will be nearly all paid by that time.
