Speaking of summer sales of cattle in
England, London letter writer says:
Average prices of short horns have not
been high, and if it had not been for a
few extreme prices given for represen-
tatives of certain fashionable strains
taere would have been a very low level
ali round. It Is about the end of what
has been happily if rudely termed the
"Shorthorn humbug," by which is
meant the fashion of giving absurdly
high prices for mere pedigree, apart
from excellence. The numerous gen.
tlemen who have gone in for fancy
breeding have nearly all burnt their fin
gers pretty smartly, and there appears
to be general disposition just now to
"stand from under" the whole business.
Foreign buyers have very kindly come
to the rescue and helped out the men
who have lost quite enough as it is.
Still the rank and file of the animals at
recent sales have realized very little
more than the price Of ordinary store
cattle. There is now hope of con-
Quoting shorthorn breeding on rational
business principles, apart from fashion
able fad and gambling speculation.
The Herefords, on the other hand, are
quite the rage, and there is some dan
ger Of the extravaganza departing from
the shorthorn fancy being taken up by
Hereford breeders. In South America
and Australia, as well as in the United
States, the Hereford is rapidly gaining
ground Hitherto the breed has well
preserved its excellence Is . beef-pro-
ducing breed, and it Is tobe hoped that
it viii not be ruined by pedigree fan

Was George Hendrix Murdered! /!

1t was under mysterious and deplor-
able circumstances that the brave and
true young man, George Hendrix, came
to his death in Brooklyn last Thursday
morning, With the young woman to
whom he was betrothed, he had been
at the International festival and ball
given by the refugees of the Paris Com
mune in this city; and 1t was about three
o'clock in the morning when he started
to escort his bethrothed to her home in
Brooklyn. They had reached the Brook
lyn side, and were waiting for street
car when he was seized with a spasm
and fell to the ground unconscious.
When a policeman reached the scene, he
said, after the usual fashion of his class,
that the man was drunk, but Miss
Smythe told him that Mr.. Hendrix was
ill, and asked him to call doctor, a
request which was unheeded. He was
seized by two policemen, who handled
him very roughly but there are doubts
as to whether they clubbed him-and
threw him, against her remonstrance,
into a handcart, in which he was drawn
to the station house, again brutally
treated, and put in a cell, while Miss
Smythe was insulted and ordered off.
Seeing at last that he was near death,
the police trundled him to hospital,
where, in a few hours, he died, the
doctors saying there, were no signs OF
alcohol about him, and that he had fallen
in an attack of syncope.
1t was this young man, George Hen
dirk, who two years ago won the ap-
plause of the country for destroying the
infamous monument that had been
raised by Cyrus w. Field, in honor Of
the English spy and briber, Major Andre,
hanged by order of George Washington.
He was arrested at the time, and desper-
ate efforts were made to convict him by
the friends of the English spy, but the
evidence against him was insufficient
For long time afterward he was con-
stantIy dogged wherever he went, and
he always felt in peril of his life, 80 fully
was he assured of the determination OF
the English spy's successors to punish
him for his patriotic deed. He changed
his name, lived in quarters unknown to
most of his friends, and was always on
the alert against attack. How tragical
under the circumstances, was his mys,
terious death.
George Hendrix, the young printer
was man of intense Americanism OF
the old revolutionary kind, and he took
it as personal insult that a monument
was erected on American soil IN honor
of the English spy hanged by George
Washir gton. Moreover, he was man
of fine talents, writing both prose and
poetry of high order of merit. A short
time ago he sent poem to this paper
and was anxious to become one of its
regular contributors. The last time
saw him he was on guard against men o.
whose conduct he was apprehensive. A
brave, true, high minded man was

RUMoRs OF IMPEACHMENT.
Judge Locke Tells How and Why They
Were Originated.

The readers Of the MORNING News VIII
remember that about three weeks ago
statement was going the rounds of the
press to the effect that articles Of impeach-
ment against Hon. James w. Locke,
Judge of the United States Courts for the
Southern District of Florida, would be
preferred, based upon a number OF
charges, any one of which, if substan-
tiated, would be sufficient to warrant the
impeachment. The report, it is said,
originated somewhere in Florida soon al
ter Judge Locke left this city for the South.
The return of the Judge as the presid-
ing officer of the United States Court,
which met in this city yesterday. gave
reporter of the MORNING NEWS an Oppor-
tunity to learn what foundation, If any,
existed for the report. Judge Locke
stated that he had no idea why the rumOr
should have been started at the time 1t
was, that is to say, when he went
from this city to Jacksonville, late
in December, unless it was owing to the
fact that a certain newspaper man was IN
that city at the same time, whom he Tor
merly had sued for libel, and who, with
certain other parties, founded the I'M
parchment report upon the following
grounds:
Sometime ago a respectable citizen OF
Key West approached Judge Locke and
requested the loan of $500, Offering IS
security mortgage on a certain quantity
of tobacco then in the custom house at
that point as the property Of the gentle
man referred to. The loan was nego-
tiated, and the Collector of Customs
understood that when the borrower
wished any of the tobacco
Judge Locke should write a note
informing Kim when to release it. The
borrower paid the Judge the money in
question, and the tobacco was returned
to it's owner. In the mean time the Col
lector of Customs, a Collector of Internal
Revenue, and one or more other parties,
originated statement, which was sent to
the Secretary of the Treasury, to the eff
feet that he was dealing in tobacco. A
special agent Of the Treasury investigated
the matter, and found that Judge Locke
had not owned or dealt in tobacco,
and the result was that the Internal Rev.
enue Collector soon after resigned. Other
charges equally frivolous were also madeto
the authorities at Washington, and Judge
Locke intimates that as long as no other
and graver charges can be made against
him, he will continue to preside over the
United States Courts for the Southern
District of Florida as Judge and not as
q politician,
