holland RESIGNS.

The Missouri State Treasurer Suddenly Ten
ders His Resignation Pending the Investi-
cation of His Books.
JEFFERSON CITY, No., March Sat
four o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr.. z.
T. holland entered the Treasury Depart
ment. Governor Francis was in the
private office, and walking up to him,
Mr.. holland handed him an envelope.
"Here is my resignation, Governor" he
said, and turning, walked out.
To His Excellency, DavlI Z. Francis, Gov
ernor of Missouri:
JEFFERSON CITY, NO., March z. 1seo.-Sir:
Herewith hand you my resignation as State
Treasurer Of the State of Missouri. Very re.
Spectfully, Z. T. holland
What led Mr.. holland to tender his
resignation can only be surmised as he
declines most positively to talk. He
would only say last night that he was
preparing statement to give the press.
What the nature of this statement will
be can not be foreshadowed at present.
Mr.. holland was engaged last night
upon the statement he will make public
to-day. He counseled with friends and
there is an undercurrent of anxiety
about the capital as to what disclosures
may be forthcoming.
Governor Francis has not accepted the
resignation Of Mr. holland yet He will
move very cautiously in order to avoid
complication.
The Acknowledgement is looking up
all the points bearing upon the case in
order to decide what disposition should
be made of the resignation. Some hold
that it is q constitutional right Of
State officer to resign at any time and
under any circumstances, while on the
other hand others contend that while
under suspicion Mr.. Noland's resigna-
ton can not be accepted. 1t is believe
that the action will only serve to COM
plicate matters and involve intricate
legal questions.

Terrible Experience OF chicago Woman
with an Escaped Lunatlc.
CMCA 60, March S.-Last evening Mira
Mary Peterson, weary from her days
FORK, sat by the kitchen fire to await
the coming Of her husband, when the
front door opened. Surprising 1t to DO
her husband, she got mp to greet him,
but before she reached the hall door It
was thrown violently open and a strange
man with ferociOus glare in his eyes
confronted her.
For q moment the two stood facing
each other, the woman almost paralyzed
from fear and the mailman gloating over
his intended victim with glittering eyes.
Then tho maniac drew q revolver and
leveling 1t at the wOman's head, fired.
With o superhuman effort she sprang
70 one side, and then, with bound like
Q tiger, clutched him by the throat.
1t was fight for life, and even the
madman with his awful strength, could
not loosen the woman's grip. In vain
did he strike her with his revolver. He
tried to bring the muzzle in line with
her head that he might blow her brains
out, but she Rugged him so closely that
he could not, and the weapon was again
discharged into the wall.
The woman clinched her hands the
tighter, and the mans eyes began to
start from their sockets, while his face
changed from red to q livid purple and
his tongue rolled out as he gasped for
breath. The veins Of his forehead
swelled almost to bursting, but she held
on, knowing that her life depended on
her grip.
Back and forth across the room they
struggled. Chairs were overturned and
the table, set for supper, was upset
The mailman had ceased to strike her
and all his efforts were to break her
grasp on his throat. He began to weak
en-. At last the blood spurted from his
nostrils and the sight of this was more
than the poor woman could stand. She
relaxed her hold and fled from the house
to the nearest neighbours and the police
were called.
AS soon as he was freed from Mrs.
Peterson's grasp. the mailman skunk to
the attic of the house. In short time
officers arrived and the maniac was
found in the attic. He had lost his pis-
toll in his struggle with Mrs. Peterson,
but after another contest he was finally
overpowered.
Nothing could be learned from the
man, however, further than that his
\
had escaped from Michigan insane
asylum. After closely examining him
he was taken to the detention hospital

The stock Of corn on hand is tho
largest ever reported in March, Of the
largest crop, after the mildest winter.
The average of eight annual returns

year 7S7, 100000 bushels. The average
consumption to March I, is LAS, ZOO, 900
Bushels. figure only exceeded last year
and In 1886. The proportion OF mer-
.ohantable crop of 1889 is s5.7 per cent,
exceeded in recent years only by those
OF 1854 and 1885. The average value Of
all corn on the 1st of December was %. Sc
per bushel. The average for the LIST Of
March was 27.9c for merchantable and
10.2c for understandable, making an
aggregate value Of sS5, 100000 less than
che December estimate.
The wheat crop of 1889 was exceeded
by the crops Of 1880, 1882 and 1884 The
1vernge remainder in the hands OF grow
-ers on March l for ten years past has
been 100, 600, 600 bushels. The average
crop during this period was 450,OoO,OOO
bushels. Only in years having product
.much below this average has the March
'cemainder fallen below 5000, 900
bushels, with the sole exception Of 1885,
when q crop OF $50, ZOO, 900 bushels fol-
bowed one Of $4,000, 900.
Most of the wheat in farmers hands
e. In States which have no surplus over
e0nsuhfption. or in those in which much
che larger portion is consumed at home.
The six spring wheat States have only
$4,000, 900 bushels, $4,000, 600 OF which
will be required for spring seed and the
remainder is scarcely more than four
months consumption Of their popula-
ton. Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, ILL
nois, Missouri and Kansas, the only
wheat States east Of the Rocky
Mountains contributing to commercial
distribution, have only 6O,OOO,OOO bu-
mhels, half of which will be needed at
home and q part of the remainder is
commercially unavailable at present
prices. 1t is seen, therefore, that the
available supply for expectation and for
home distribution to July is small. The
depleted farm reserves have been meas
urably flied, except in few States, but
twill require the pressure of high prices
TO squeeze any considerable proportion
of them into commercial distribution.
