HENRY G. TRICKEY DEAD.
In Attempting to Catch Train He
Falls Uuder the Cars.
HE WROTE THE BORDEN STORY.
Afraid the Jury Would Indict Him, He
Had Gone tn Hamilton, Ont. Another
Version 10 That He Was Investigating
the Borden Case-His Life.

HAMILTON, Ont, Dec. 5.-Trickey, the
Boston Globe reporter who wrote the sen
satioEal story about the Lizzie Borden
murder case and was under indictment,
met with tragic death 'here Saturday.
In attempting to catch a moving train
at the Grand Trunk station heslipped and
was swung under the cars and his life was
crushed out.
At the time ii was thought that his
name was Henry Melzar.
IL was not until yesterday that the body
was identified.
Before the Grand Jury met at Fall River,
Trickey went on a visit to his brother-in-
law, Eber s. Melzar, at Evanston, Ill.
He did not feel safe there, being afraid
the jury would indict him, and on Nov.
2S he came here, registering at the Royal
Hotel under the name OF Henry Melzar,
New York.
The body was forwarded to Boston for
burial last evening.
BosToN, Dec. 5.-The announcement of
the death OF Henry G. Trickey OF The
Globe has shocked his numberless friends
on newspaper row. He was "A man as
popular as he was widely known and
those who knew him best were confident
he would succeed in clearing himself of
the charges heaped upon him in coppec-
tion with the part he played In the Bor-
den case. That he was engaged on the
case at the time be met his death is gen
orally believed.
Henry G. Trickey was famous through
out New EUgland AS n detective report
er," and was. when killed. a fugitive
from justice.
The grand jury of Bristol county. which
on Friday last indicted Lizzie Borden for
the murder OF her father and stepmother.
also indicted Trickey for interfering with
a Cover nment witness The Boston pa

SEATTLE 10 BIZ THE TERMINUS.
Jim Hill Bays Eight Blocks on the Water
Front Of That City.

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 10.-The Great
Northern Railway to-day commenced con-
demnation proceedings to get control OF
three blocks in the heart OF the Whitechapel
district for the purpose of erecting thereon
an immense passenger depot. The c0mpanv
has also secured surrounding property by
private purchase and will have about eight
blocks in the very center of the city OF a
level and extending almost to the bay. Thls
comprises the whole Whitechapql dis
trict, famous ever since tho great fire Of
1889 as the toughest place on the coast.
The purchase is the result of the recent
visit of Jim Hill, and is generally regarded
as a sure indication that the Great North
ern intends to make this tile terminus of sas
road. An immense passenger depot Of iron
and stone, covering two blocks and rooted
with glass, will be erected and the intention
probably is to make it Union Depot, as il
adjoins the Northern Pacific tracks.
Judge Burke, attorney for the Seattle and
Montana Railroad, explained the purpose
of the road in securing the land this after-
noon He said: "Ths land has been
bought to secure at the earliest practicable
moment ground centrally located to handle
the traffic of the Great Northern Railway
immediately on its arrival here, which will
be within two months. The location wilt
at once be recognized as central one, aud
for that reason will be highly advantage
Gus to Seattle shippers. The result will be
that Seattle will have clear advantage
over all competitors, as it must be now clear
to every one that the Great Northern is
putting itself In position here to handle
the traffic Of the city as it was never before
handled. At no Other place west OF St.
Panl is the Great Northern making such
elaborate preparations for building up and
handling traffic as in the city of SeattIe."

1874. Oregon 1871, California 1873.
The general condition OF corn Is 70 8, an
i'm mprOvement of two points since last month

potatoes has declined during the pa { IN on th
from 748 TO 67.7 More or less rot is re-
ported in the Atlantic States. In Michigan
the tubers are generally small on account
Of drought. The low condition is general in
the Eastern, Middle, Central and Western
States. Ii is best in the Rocky Mountain
region and in the South, where the crop was
gathered early in the season.
The condition OF buckwheat has declined
since the last report from SO to Sc. 1t is SO

condition of tobacco has improved three or
four points. now averaging SO. The tenn

FRESNO. Oct. l0.-Barton Opera-house
was crowded by an audience made up in
almost equal parts by Republicans and
democrats tonight to hear the taril1 depate
between M. M. Estee and Stephen Al.
White. II was an audience that listened
appreciatively and applauded hearliiy.
Both speakers had earnest admirers and
Doth made points which raised the enthusi-
esm OF their hearers TO the highest pltch.
Stanton l.. Carter presided and White
opened the debate. He spoke Tor an hour,
dehning the position OF the Democratic
party relative to the tariff and denounclng
the Republican policy as embodied In the
Mckinley bill. He said the Democratic
party proposed to levy import duties solely
with the object of raising revenue lor the
support of the Government placing the I'M
posts as nearly as possible on luXurles ana
making them as light as possible on neces-
saries and the raw materials entering ihIo
domestic manufactures. He made many
clever hits which drew forth frequent bursts
of applause.
Mr.. Estee was greeted with hearty
round of applause when he rose TO reply.
In lew minutes he had his audience 10
sympathy with him and his hearers were
ernatively cheering and laughing. his
apt illustrations and lively sailies PROVOKED
mirth, yet made telling impression. he
met theories with the facts of everyday
life ana exposed the sophistrles OF bis agile
oppnnent by confronting him with sta
tisiics OF trade and industrial de-
velopment and a comparison oil prices.
Mr.. Estee asked those OF his hearers
who had lived beyond middle life to use
their memories and candidly say if the
workiBgmeu did not obtain more wages,
eat better food, wear better clothes. work
fewer hours and receive more consideration
than they did thirty years ago. de inquired
IL that was among the indictments filed
against the Republican protection. he
said the material, mechanical, industTlai
and moral development Of tue people at
large was greater during the past thirty
years than during any other similar period
IN the history Of the country.
Mr.. Esiee closed with an invocation 10
the genius of the American people and
eulOgy of the boundess possibilities OF this
favored land
Mr.. White, in his reply. denied that the
progress in the United States during the
past thirty years was the result OF tile tarln
