Hanging too Gond for Him.

LONDON, May 4.-The preliminary
trial OF Captain Verney, accused OF pro-
curing girls for immoral purposes, was
continued to-day. Many letters signed
"Wilson," the name which Captain
Verney is charged with assuming, we're
identified as being in Captain Verney's
handwriting. A woman named Louise
Adeline, the keeper OF q Paris hotel,
testified that Captain Verney had called
upon her on seven or eight different oc-
casions and asked her to procure for
him two or three girls, promising her
100 francs il she succeeded. The wit
ness refused to undertake the procura-
ton referred to.
Captain Verney was held for trial and
bail Increased from $4,000 to $25, 900.
Nine. Adeline positively Unidentified
Captain Verney. The presiding mag
istrate, Sir John Bridge, closely ques.
toned the witness on this point. One
OF the questions which the magistrate
asked her was:
when Captain Verney asked you to
procure little girls did he give you in
formation as to what purpose he desired
them for?"
"Yes," replied Nine. Adeline, ''he
said he wanted them in order to seduce
them, and that they must be virtuous
and chaste." Nine. Adelines last re-
ply increased the sensation which her
evidence had caused among those who
thronged the court room.

A Sketch of the Howell Case.

TRENTON, Mo-, Nav 4.-The How
ell murder case, on a change of venue
from Linn county, opened yesterday.
Howell killed Minnie Hall and her four
children on January 10, 1889. at their
home, five miles southwest Of Brock
field, and then set fire to the house.
When the neighbors arrived the entire
house was enveloped in flames, but the
bodies had not been so far consumed as
to conceal the fact that their heads had
been split open. Snow had fallen and
the tracks were followed into Brockfield
hotel. Howell had entered the hotel
only few moments before the pursuing
party arrived and was arrested in his
room. He was tried in December Of
the same year and sentenced to- be
hanged. The supreme court remanded
the case on technicality in the in

Crimlnally Careless Bank Methods.

NEW YORK, May 4.-The exact
amount OF money that President John
T. Hill stole from the Ninth National
bank from 1887 up to the LIST OF March, the
date OF his death, is $40S, ZOO, as shown
by Bank Examiner Hepburns state
ment If the Wall street pessimists
who claim to have knowledge OF the
magnitude of Hills speculations, are to
be believed, his defalcation will reach
up to the 100000 mark as soon as O
thorough examination Of the books and
securities OF the distressed bank is COM
pleted.
Did Hill have an accomplice? That
question was asked a thousand times
yesterday if it was asked once. Prac-
teal banking men limited that subordi.
nate positions are unanimous in the ex-
preston of opinion that such crooked.
ness could not exist without the cashier
and the loan clerk knowing Of it. They
pronounce Nazro and Joseph Hill either
fools or knaves. Dewitt G. Hay9
president of the Manhattan ComparA
bank, said yesterday: The story Of
Hills defalcation in connection with
the Ninth National bank is incompre.
hensible to me. / can not understanS
how such crookedness could exist With

infant OF it. The only explanation ]
can offer for their short-sightedness is
that Hill had everything in his own
hands. He must have acted as presi'
dent. cashier, paying teller and office

John J. Knox, president of the Ma

"How the president OF any bank could

OF his bank as TO substitute private Sc
curities for alleged securities on RIA

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May 4.-Tht
Northwestern Miller says:
The mills again got out big output
last week. The aggregate production
was 161, 40 barrels, against 16l, 400 bar
rels the week before, and 139, 800 bar
rels for the corresponding time in 1890.
The dullness OF the flour markets has
caused less activity among the mills,
two having been shut down. There has
been quite a let down in the demand
for flour, the weakness in wheat having
had bad effect upon the market
Prices have been reduced % to 40
cents. Bids on the patent for export
are lower than millers can accept and
practically no business is being done in
that grade. Bakers is in its usual
brisk demand and low grades are
scarcely less So. The domestic trade is
very dull.

The Nalue of Platinum.

The market value of platinum is at
present nearly equal to that of gold,
their respective prices being "a and
"a SIS. Eighteen months ago, says the
Electrician, platinum was to be had for
about so shillings an ounce, and six
months ago the price was under E3.
Apart from the question of u possible
corner" and the cvcr-incrcasing de-
mand for platinum for electrical pur-
poses, this 1876 per cent. rise in price
within eighteen months may be at
tributed in large measure to tho in
creased cost of production at the mines
in the Cral mountains, whence we draw
our chief supply of the metal. The
owners of these mines, owing to their
large yield of gold, were able to sell
platinum comparatively cheap; the
gold. however, is now becoming scarce,
and hence the platinum, which is still
plentiful, can no longer be sold ut so
low figure. Platinum, besides being
used for the lcading-in wires of glow
lamps, is largely used for electrodes in
clcctro-chcmical work, and up to the
present no satisfactory substitute for it
has been fonnd SO far as these applica
tious are concerned"
