LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER RIPPER.
last Thursday Domnick leonard, wealthy
contractor, was found dead atFlatbush. l.. l.,
with q bullet in his heart. Every effort since
hl, ed 10 fndthe murderer. and thetheOry
has been put forth that the deed was that of
"a man with a mania for murder. The fact
tlat this is the fifth mysterious murder III the
same locality committed without apparent
motive and in the same manner is advanced
as the ground for the theory.
GEOBGE DENIsoN MORGAN DEAD.
George Denison Morgan died this morning
az Irvington, aged seventy-tbree years. About
l,47 he came 10 this city and engaged in bust
ness He soon afterward became associated
with his cousin, the late Governor Morgan,
as a dealer In general merchandise, and re-
tired from active business twenty-five years
ago. In his later years he had given much
time 10 missionary and charitable work, and

TENNESSEE FINANCIAL AGENCY.
In the question of the settlement of the Vir-
Einia debt an example IS shown in the visit
here of a delegation of Tennessee officials
who have been in town establishing a tinan-
cial agency of the State here and negotiating
Ii loan, as authorized by the last Legislature,
and who have accomplished the objects of
their mission IN a highly satisfactory manner.
The party consisted Of the Governor of Ten
nessee. Ohm =. Buchanan: the State Treas
urer. 81. f. House the Comptroller. J. W.
Allen. ex-Comptroller. 7. =. Packard. and
General Tom Mcconnell. the well-known
popular chairman Of the Democratic State
Committee.
The State Government of Tennessee has
sought for some time TO keep pace with the
-
and TO aid in the development of its bound
less resources.
THE DEBTS SETTLED.
It's various forms of Indebtedness were re-
funded by act of the Legislature in 1888, and
since then the effort has been made to keep
the taX-rate as low as possible TO encourage
the investment Of capital andat the same time
make the progress OF the State felt IN an agree
able way % the taxpayers. As one OF the
party puts 1t, the credit of The State is such
as will allow them 10 borrow all the money
that it needed at most satisfactory
rates and 50 they find it better at present to
borrow what little is needed than TO increase
the tax rate The loan negotiated here was a
small One-S250, 900. 1t Is 10 meet the July
interest On the State bonds. The particular
need for 1t arose from the fact that large ex-
penditures have been made during the last |
year in erecting various State institutions in |
East. West and Middle Tennessee. Before !
leaving the city the party were entertained at |
luncheon at the Lawyers Club by Frank H. |
l'att. Besides the visitors there were pres |
ent ex-senator Platt, Chauncey NJ Depew. |
senator Calvin S. Brice, John II. Inman and |
