A judicial examination Of the body Of
Mrs. Rathbone shows several shot and dag
ger wounds. One bullet passed through
her breast and cameout at the back bone.
The dagger thrust penetrated rib to the
heart. Rathbone was lately very jealous
Of bis wife, though there was no cause for
such feeling. At present an Official inqui-
ry into the tragedy Is impossible, owing 10
the condition Of Rathbone. His mind is
still affected and bis titterances are Of a
rambling character. 1t is understood he
believes hia children have been abducted
and he was wounded in the fight with the
ahinctor.

Sa,Iopnl Bnun Circulation.

From Olr Special Correspondent. ...
WASHINGTON, December sO=There is
considerable comment among the monied
men here and in the East, and among the
Treasury officials. upon the rapid increase
Of the withdrawal OF National bank circu-
lation. There need be no alarm over It:
Al the beginning OF each year stocks OF all
Kinds, including that Of National banks,
are always at their minimum value. Deal.
ems close out with the year, and that runs
down the estimate Of all values. When
thew buy in, during the latter part Of Janu-
ary especially, the stocks appreciate again.
The decrease Of National Bank circulation
is yeTy much heavier for December than
any other month Of the year. twill hardly
recuperate with other branches OF business,
say Treasury officials, but the decline oi
capital does not especially indicate move
In the direction Of q general contraction ol
the volume OF currency.
