THREW HIS MOTHER DOWNSTAIRS.
A Water Front Tough in New York Charged
With Matricide.

NEW YORK, July a-[SpeciaL ]-Cathar-
inc A Kenney, of 81 Grove street, died in
ST. Vincent's Hospital Thursday night of a
fractured skull. When she was admitted
to the hospital, June 20, it was understood
that her injuries had been caused by fall
downstairs. After her death, however, the
occupants of the house on Grove street,
said Mrs. Kenney's son James had thrown
her downstairs. The Charles street police,
who say Kenney is member of one of the
water front gangs, arrested him last night.
He was arraigned in the Jefferson Market
police court this morning, and subsequently
committed to the Tombs without bail, pend
ing the inquest Tuesday.
There is abundant testimony that Kenney
pitched his mother downstairs Kenney
came to William Perschoke, who works on
the ground floor of the house, and said:
"Help me to carry my mother to her room
She has fallen own stairs" He accom-
panied Kenney to the cellar, where woman
lay apparently unconscious on the floor
She revived on being moved, and said:
Jimmy, you have hurt me-" ''Mother,
you'll get me into trouble" returned Ken
ney. "Yon've killed me this time" said
Mrs. Kenney. Later they took her to the
hospital, where she died,

Steamboat and Oil Companies to Face the
Consequences in Court.
BUFFALO, July 3.-The Union Steam
boat Company and the Genesee Oil Com
pany are soon to face the ultimate conse-
quences of the disastrous explosion in the
steamer Tioga at Chicago two years ago.
Seventeen actions have been brought in the
Supreme Court by the service of summons
on Joseph and William H. Bright, of
the oil company and the officers of the
steamboat company to recover damages for
$1,000 in each of 16 cases for the death of
the plaintiffs intestates, and for SIC, 900 in
one action for the plaintiffs injuries result
ing from that explosion.
The papers in the cases set forth the cir
cumstances of the explosion of naphtha
stored in the hold of the Tioga, which, it is
charged, had been shipped by the Brights
as coil" contrary to law; and the steamboat
company is charged with not having used
proper care in ascertaining the true nature

The Sugar Situation.

The following from Willet and Gray s
Statistical Sugar Trade Journal furnishes
the latest on the question of sweetening
goods: "Raws-Until within the last two
days the market has been steady and firm
with frequent transactions at last week s
quotations, and at 8 3-16c for centrifugals,
c. j. f., for Boston. The market has de-
veloped weakness, however, and last sales
were at 1-16c decline. There have been
further purchases made in Cuba for August
shipment, and considerable portion of the
Cardenas stock is now owned by American
refners.
Many holders for speculative account in
Cuba are, however, not sellers at present,
following the lead of European spectators,
who expect better prices later on. Euro
pean market has been somewhat unsettled,
with a weakening tendency toward the
close of June, caused, possibly, by the
dropping out of some holders who have be-
come tired of changing over from month to
month while waiting for an advance. New
crop Javas for August-September shipment
have been engaged for America to con-
siderable extent. on importers as we'll as
refners account"
Refined Sugars.
The same journal has this to say of refined
sugar: ga change in methods Of quotation
to meet the wishes of the Grocers' Associa-
tions is now being made, but does not
change nor affect the net values Neither
does it make any discrimination against any
grocer who is not member of an associa-
tion. Anv grocer in the United States can
buy as cheaply of the American Sugar
Refining Company, under the new arrange
trade discounts equalize all transactions for
granulated. The Grocers' Associations
make their prices and arrangements for a
fair compensation IN distributing sugars
Independent grocers make prices independ-
emily as they please. There is no forcing,
no compulsion, no discrimination, no con-
fict Some grocers think it for their inter-
est to join associations; others do not. That
the local associations are spreading over
the country is an indication Of their ad-
vantage"

Among the fresh arrivals in produce lines
the past week are blackberries, huckleber-
ries, squash and sweet potatoes Sweet po-
tatoes are so far travelled that quality is not
up to standard, and demand has been light.
We note an improvement in quality and
size of melons lately received The warm
weather has greatly stimulated tropical
fruit markets. Lemons are particularly
active and prices are higher than they were
a week ago Since the beginning of the
week all choice dairy products have been on
the advance.
Elgin creamery butter is fully &c per lh
above price of a week ago. There is no
longer the drug in cheese lines there was
during the greater part Of last month. Old
potatoes are practically out of the market.
New Southern potatoes are coming to the
front in better shape Of late, and prices are
frmer than they were week ago. The egg
market shows weakness for the week past,
and prices are shade lower. In job lots

Sympathy Wanted for Peculiar Glass.
Oddly enough, it is for this still unindebted
class that currency legislation is most ear
nestly demanded. Those who have already
mortgaged their property could at best only
save you from foreclosure. They could not
borrow on it more than they now owe. 1t is
the men out OF debt and who want to run in
debt for whom sympathy is invoked.
This demand for greater facility of rum
ming in debt, as il it were the natural right
of which no citizen sho1ld be deprived
against his will, reminds me of 'the right to
labor claimed by the unemployed working
men of France during the stagnation Of
business which followed the revolution of
lsls. The Frenchmen had at least an ex-
cuse for demanding that the Government
should find them work in the pressing need
of wood for themselves and their families,
but the would-be debtors of this country
are not in this position. They desire to bor-
row money that they may make money by
its use instead OF working for wages. It Is
laudaDle desire, no doubt, but not ono the
qualification of which justifles the attempt
to furnish it at the risk OF financially ruin
ing the nation.
When was boy went every summer to

knows the region knows how hilly and sandy
and stony it is. We boys used to say that
the Creator, when He made the earth, filed
his apron with rocks to scatter over it,
intending to distribute them evenly. Just
as He got to Connecticut, however, His
apron string broke, and the whole OF the
rocks were dumped in a mass upon the un-
fortunate State. This is what has made it so
hard to cultivate and has led to the abandon
ment for more fertile regions Of SO much OF
1t by its owners.
Not Enough to Help the Valleys.
My uncle worked away bravely, but his
land lay so high that continual rain was
necessary to give him decent crops. His
neighbors in the valleys adjoining not only
needed less rain than he did. but were In
tured by what was just right for him. The
force OF gravttation carried tho water that
fell on the hilltops down into the valleys,
and If It foil often enough to keep the hill
tops rpofsts the valleys were drowned.

When the Christian Commission went
into the army during the war there were a
great multitude of hungry men and only a
few loaves of bread, and the delegate of the
commission was cutting the bread and
giving IL out to wounded and dying men.
Some one came up and said, "Cut those
slices thinner. or there will not be enough
to 60 around" And then the delegate cut
the slices very thin, and handed the bread
around until they all had some, but not
much.
But, blessed be God, there is no need of
economy in this Gospel. Bread for all;
bread enough and to spare. Why perish
with hunger
Again, l advise you, as one of the best
things you can do with Christ, to take Him
into your love. Now, there are two things
which make us love anyone-inherent at
tractiveness, and then what He does in
the way of kindness toward u.s. Now Christ
is in both of these positions Inherent at
