spicuous as an attendant upon Annie,
though they were thought to be good
friends.
This afternoon Annie was in the kitchen
doing some work for her mother, when
Hawkins was seen to go into the room.
Shortly afterward the sound of two pistol
shots was heard, followed shortly after by
another When other boarders rushed into
the room Annie lay on the floor dead. while
beside her was Hawkins, mortally wounded,
with the deadly revolver still clasped in his
hand He was too far gone to utter und
and died soon after without giving any ex-
PLANTATION of the shooting The mother OF
the girl believes the two were lovers, but
no plausible explanation can be offered.

Called TO Account at Cincinnati

CINCINNATI, Oct. 15.-When the Gin
cinnati Club was sold to the Players League
last October, President Aaron Stern receiv-
ed in part payment five $4,000 notes.
One was given by Al johnson, another by
the gentlemen now interested in the Boston
Association Club, and the remaining three
were assumed by the National League. All
were regularly paid when they fell due
save one, and that was the note of the
Boston people. The note was given by
Hart, Prince, Haines and Dixwell. 1t
should have been paid on October 1, but

The notes were sold by President Stern to
the bankers Kuhn & Co., and legal proceed

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 15.-It is almost
certain that William ]. Thompson and the
others engaged at the Gloucester race track
will be indicted by the Camden grand jury
and an end put to the racing. In the court

the fact that Gutenberg and all the other

A DEADLOCK IN SUGAR
The New Bounty Law Causes serious
Lot of Trouble for Planters

New ORLEANS, Oct. 15-lSpeIdl. The
new sugar bounty law has been found to
work very badly here so far and to interiors
seriously with the marketing OF the crop.
The sugar is already arriving in consider
able quantities, for as there are no import
ers or weighers yet in the country the plant
ers have shipped their sugar to New Orleans
to be weighed and inspected here. The local
officials are not ready for work and the
whole system is so slow and tedious that
under present regulations it will take until
next summer to arrange the bouSs
In the meanwhile the planters are dnabkH
to sell their goods until the matter of bounty
is settled and the hitch has caused COM
nlete deadlock in the sugar trade and
threatens to cause a great deal of injury.
A meeting of the Sugar Exchange was held
TO-DAY to consider the matter, and a confer
enee with the officials of the Internal Re-
venue Bureau was determined on, at which
a change will be made in the bounty regula-
tions, so as to expedite the work of insPec-
tion.
