BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS IN HAYTL
The Atlas Line steamship Alvena arrived
here to-day, from West Indian ports on june
Goth. At that time there were indications that
the BLACK Republic would soon b. the scene
Itv MANY OF
residents are so fearful of the consequences
of the impending instruction that they are
emerating from the scene of future raplne
and blOodshed The Alvena carried a number
Of residents of Jeremie to Kingston, Jamaica
and more are departing on every vessel. AT
the present time the enemies Of Hlppolytea are
actively at work and preparing for struggle
TO overturn the present Government. An old
Haytian politician named Maybrant IS Sc,

upon as Hippolyte's successor.

THE COTTON OIL TRUST.
II transpires that at meeting ofthe Ameri-
can Cotton On Trust held July lst a matter
which may prove OF good deal of Importance
70 certificate holders was developed. 1t
seems that IS. O00. 600 Of the trust stock was
given some time ago for the stock OF the
United States Cotton Seed Cleaning Com
pany, since proved TO have been worthless.
Some of the trustees Of the trust were inter
ested in the purchase. 1t was unanimously
resolved that the present trustees examine
into the facts and take all legal measures
practicable 10 recover from all parties inter
ested as much as possible
AWAITING THE FATAL VOLT.
Unless some legal obstacle intervenes four
of the six murderers now in Sing Sing will
pay the penalty of their crime some day tn
week in the state prison at Sing sing. 1t viii
be the second exhibition OF execution by cleo
trcity in this or any other State of the nlted
States and at least as much interest attaches
to il as was aroused by the kemmler case.
The four murderers who are sentenced to
die to put il as the Judges did, on the week
commencing July 9th. are James ). Slocum:
Joseph Wood (colOred), Harris a. Smller and
Schchick Jugigo not Jugiro).
Ii is quite possible that one or all fthe con-
demned men. through their counsel may seek
another STAY. so that II cannot be SAID now
with certainty that all or any Of them will be
electrocuted. The lawyers of these men have
so abused the rights of habeas corpus already
that there is no telling where they intend
TO stop.
Each of the men sentenced TO die this week
has been sentenced t. death three times If
any lawyer at the eleventh hour secures a stay
of execution for Slocum, Smiler, Juglgo or
Wood the condemned men Will have to be
resentenced.
Outside Of the legal and general interest in
the case. medical scientists and electricians
will watch the electrocution as keenly rs they
did Kemmler's The eectrOcution of Kemm-
Ter was bungled. 1t was III fact a horrible
sight.
There is a pretty generally believed rumor
that the electrocutiOn will not take place to-
day.
FATE AGAINST HIM.
The eccentricties Of fate are curiously and
painfully illustrated in the experience OF Mr..
Warrington. who has naturally become very
much disheartened.
lie was at work in Johnstown when the big
dam broke. The food washed away all his
earthly possessions and one of his children
was drowned.
He then moved to Arizona and was getting
along successfully. when another food carried
away everything he had and drowned another
child.
Once moro he removed and he fixed upon
a spot in the Indian Territory where he
thought he was beyond the reach of disaster.
But third time q flood swept through the
town and he was beggared Moreover. he
lost a third child by drowning.
He IS almost erazed with grief at these re-
peated bereavements and losses
MARYs REQUEST NOT GRANTED.
The body of Mary Steingotter. sixteen years
old, who shot herself through the heart last
Thursday in Mrs. Louisa Campbells board
lng-house, lS7 south Fourth street. Williams
burg. Was inferred yesterday in Lutheran
Cemetery. The funeral took place from her
parents residence. 81 Rock street. and was
attended by many of the dead girls school
mates. Her father refused 70 carry ont her
last wish that her body be cremated and her
ashes scattefed TO the four winds. The YER
diet of the cOroner's jury on Saturday night
was that she was temporarily insane when she
killed herself. and the jury condemned the
y-go-rounds. where the girl met the man
who deceived her. as tending to degrade
young girls.
DEATH OF HANNIBAL HAMLIN.
The fact that the death of Hannibal Ham,
