ATCHIs0N, May 29.-Further particulars
in the casse of William W. Proctor, the
widower who was found dead in his house
in the northwestern part of Atchison
county on last Sunday evening, prove it
to be one of the most heartless and cold
blooded murders in the history of the
county. Proctor was 60 years of age aud
lived alone, his wife having died thirty
years ago. He owned farm of 100 acres,
which he patented from the government.
1t has never been transferred Or mort
gagged, and Proctor was considered we'll to
do, although the house he had always
lived in was little better than a shed. He
was sharp in business transac-
tons, and always bargained for
gold money. The murder was COM
mitted outside Of his house. as Uhe blood
bespattered grass shows, and there is no
doubt but that he was killed for his money,
although none is known to be missing.
After being killed his body was carried
in the house and wrapped In blankets to
hide the deed from the public as long Is
possible. The dead body was discovered
by a neighbor boy, who detected bad
smell while passing the house, and told
his father. An investigation revealed the
fact that the stock on this farm was al
most famished for want of attention, and
the door of the house being broken
open. Proctor was discovered with
a bullet hole in his left eye. his
throat cut from ear to ear, and an ugly
knife wound in his stomach. A coroner's
examination failed to develop the murder
ers However, there is strong suspicion
in regard TO certain parties and further in
vestigation will be made. Mrs. Ellis, of
Whiting, Kan, is the daughter of the dead
man, and an only son resides in California.
Sam Griffin, who Is wanted at Leaven-
worth on a charge of knitting a woman
some time ago, was picked up on the
streets of Atchison by the police today.
He said that his name was not Griffin,
but Williams, and at first refused to ac-
company an officer to the station. He
was imprisoned after some difficulty, and
the Leavenworth authorities notified.

SYRIAN SILK.

WASHINGTON, May ca.-Consul Kissing
er, at Beirut, Syria, in report TO the de-
partment of state says that Syrian SILK
growers now look covetously toward the
United States as a market for raw silks
which has developed phenominally IN
very shor. time. Silk reelers in Syria are
manifesting much anxiety to establish di-
rect intercourse with manufacturers in the
United States. The silk cultivator, how
ever is puzzled to know why United
States manufacturers should want to pay
an advanc of to 10 per cent for Syrian
silk in the former commissions to Mar,
saeilles and Lyons firms, when he could
put himself in direct communication in s with
establish mutually profitable relations.
The year 1888 was a bad one for the silk
industry In Syria. the yields showing a
deficit eff Is to 20 per cent, and the quailty,
as usual in off years, not being, of the
best. Prices fell to ridicuIously low flg-
ures, when a syndicate, said to be amer li-
can appeared and, buying up the "a" SILK

A Remarkable Orchid.

Breckenridge & Co., the well-known
florists of Govanstown, brought to the Sun
Office yesterday a remarkable and beautiful
orchid, which rivals anything of the kind
in America 1t is an "Epiphytic' orchid,
the bloom of which grows downward from
the roots, presenting a curious effect. The
plant, which was hung over door, is
planted in moss. 1t has no earth, and de-
rives all its sustenance from the air. The
plant is eighteen inches square. Pendant
from it are sixty-ive blooms, each bloom
three or four inches across, and of golden
yellow, shading of to cream. The scent is
not agreeable, in which respect it resem-
bles the giant lily recently shown in Lon
don. Another curious characteristic it
possesses is that for six months of the year
1t requires no water whatever, and its
bloom depends upon Its being kept per-
fectly dry for this period. 1t may not be
generally known that Baltimore is one OF
the principal markets for orchids, the plants
being brought here direct from South
America, and after being established are
sold all over, the country.-Baitim Sun

to protest against the discharge of Deputy
United States Marshal Neagle without the
form of trial by jury. The Grand Jury
does not condemn or approve the act of
Neagle, or say word concerning the cause
of the tragedy of the killing of Terry, nor
intimate in any way condemnation of
Neagle. But it protests that he could
have had a fair trial in San Joaquin;
that the spirit of our system is that
all killing of a human being should
be examined into by a State Court
of proper jurisdiction, and that verdict
should be had in the case from Jury of
the people. 1t protests that the State
Courts are competent to administer the
laws of the United States and of the State,
and it expresses its regret that the Terry
Neagle case was not examined into as cases
of homicides usually are, and concludes
that had Neagle been tried and acquitted
by jury in State Court his yindication
would have been the broadest and most
complete known TO the law.
