Foul Play Suspected.

About two weeks ago Robert Craven,
formerly in the grocery business at 1868
Market street, died suddenly in New
York. He was rather eccentric in his
ways, and had habit of carrying large
sums of money with him, often amount
ing to $1,000 or $4,000. About two years
ago he sold out his business here, specu-
lated in stocks for a while, and then
went to New York, where he opened
another grocery and continued to ope-
rate on Wall street. Previous to leaving
this city he formed an attachment for
Miss Lizzie Chase, of 1864 Market street,
and made will constituting her his sole
heir. After his death the lady visited
New York for the purpose of bringing
the body to this city, which was done.
While there she ascertained that not
dollar was found upon his person nor in
his store, the stock of which had been
reduced to considerable extent. Act
ing upon the belief that he either came
to his death by violence or that his body
had been robbed, Miss Chase placed the
matter in the hands of detectives, who
are now working on the case. PhtlaoeI-

be that the dampness quenched his mat

hurriedly toward the railroad station,
and has not since been seen in the town.

asked her to fix price for permitting
him to marry another. She said that
$4,000 would satisfy her, and he signed
note for that sum, payable on his we'd

lately, and now lawsuit Is the conse-
quence of his refusal to pay the claim.

and tossed it beside the other weapon.

Found Her Baby.


A resident of Battle Creek, Mich. was
called to his front door last Thursday
morning by vicious jerk of the bell.
What he saw on the door step was
clothes basket, and it did not take long
to discover that the basket contained
baby. AS that household already had
full assortment of treasures of that kind
the citizen was angry as well as shocked.
He lost no time in sending the basket
with its contents to the police station.-
AS the colored man who had been hired
to carry the baby to the station entered
the door he saw young woman fran
tically endeavoring to give an officer q
piece of information. Glaucing at the
basket, however, the woman uttered a
scream and hugged the infant until it
in turn became demonstrative. The
foundling had found its mother, whose
strange explanation was that discharg-
ed and angry servant girl had kidnap-
ped it while the family were at break

An Unfortunate LeuacY.

That ii may be misfortune to have
money left one is illustrated by the case
of Miss Mary e. Conley, who had sew
enty-five shares of stock in the Newark
Mechanics Bank bequeathed her. The
assessment made by reason of Baldwin's IS
racality and the Banks ruin not only
calls for the entire valie of her shares,
but money besides; and unless the Di-
rectors can be held responsible for not
doing their duty, what was intended to
furnish Miss Conley fixed income will
prove positive loss.

Commissioner Raum in his annual
report referring to the reduction of in
ternal taxation says: "Whenever the
wants of the government will allow the
reduction of the internal taxation my
opinion is that it will be wise to confine
these taxes to distilled spirits, malt
liquors, tobacco and its products, and to
special taxes upon manufacturers and
dealers in these articles, and to fix taxes
at such rates as will yield the amount
of revenue necessary to be raised from
these sources.

THE "Nation" makes good point
when it says that If Guiteau were really
insane he would not only glory in hav-

himself fully responsible for the conse.

clined to rejoice in the shooting, but to
hold the physicians responsible for the
death of the President. A genuine mad
man would be consistent enough to claim
the whole credit for himself.
