Wealthv NeQro suioides

NEW ORLEANS, May lG-A remark
able suicide on Sunday was that of
Aristide Mory, the most wealthy and
one of the best known colored men of
Louisiana. He was native of this.city,
but was educated in Paris. He first
came into notice by being appointed
alderman of this city by General p. IL.
Sheridan, when ne displaced the Mon
roe council in 1867. He was for many
years treasurer of the Republican state
committee and was several times its
presidential elector. The best of prop
erty on Canal street was his, ana his
realities could not be worth less than
$3.50, 900. He had been moody for some
hours during the day and finally told
his wife TO 90 to the door and look out,
as he feared someone was looking for
him 10 assassinate him. While she
was out of the room he shot himself
with pistol three times in the neigh
bOrhood of the heart ana fell dead. He
had undoubtedly become insane. 1t is
singular coincidence that many Of the
very wealthy colored men of this city
have taken their own lives.

CONCORD, n. H., May l6-George II.
Abbott, alias Frank &. Almy, was
hanged here this morning for the MUIR
der of Christie Warden. The crime for
which Abbott, better known under his
alias Of Almy, was hanged was one
which stirred New England TO the
depths. The story Of the mans life
was one Of lawlessness from childhood.
He came of old and well known fam
lilies on both sides of the house, but
heredity was failure in his case. He
was a thief as a scholar in school at 10
years, in Salem, where he was born.
At II years he was a burglar with a
cave in which to store his plunder. At
II he was sentenced to the states
prison for burglary, his disgrace driv-
ing his father To suicide.

SHINGLE MEN AND BANKERS
A Shingle Clearing House Soon to Be
Established
STIMULATE
TO
BUSINESS
Result of the Recent Examination for
Teachers Certifoates-New
Teachers

G.. ID. Francis, cashier Of the BelIing-
ham Bay National Bank, returned
yesterday morning from Seattle,
where he attended meeting of the
Seattle Clearing House Association.
The principal object of the meeting
was to consider the effort Of the shingle
manufacturers TO sustain prices. All
the banks of Seattle were Represented
at the meeting, and it was unanimously
resolved that the members support the
manufacturers in maintaining the
prices Of shingles. The shingle house
clearing plan originated by George f..
Brand, Of Fairhaven, was favored.
This plan provides for the erection Of
warehouses for the storing Of shingles,
and the issuance Of warehouse oertifi-
Gates against the products thus stored
on which to borrow money. An adj
journed meeting Of the manufacturers
was held in Tacoma yesterday, and the
Tacoma bankers having endorsed the
plan, it may be looked upon now as
an accomplished fact. The plan, how
ever, provides that % per cent of the
manufacturers of the state must become
members OF the association. This
action on the part Of the bankers, it is
thought, will have strengthening ef-
feet upon the business, as il will restore
the confidence of Eastern buyers, who
in the present unsettled condition OF
the market are timid about buying, as
they cannot be sure that break in
prices, brought about by scalpers, may
| not occur at any time.

nent coffee merchants of this city and
that they desired to purchase his en-
tire coffee crop. While one of the
strangers was bargaining with Mr..
Gracia, respecting the price Of his
coffee, the other went into the ware
house, told the administrator that the
deal was closed and Immediately ship
ped all the coffee that was sacked,
valued at Sl3, 500, to this city. The
next day the strangers disappeared
without having cloled the purchase.
Mr.. Gracia did not discover till two
days later that his coffee had been
shipped. He came to this city immed-
lately, but arrived too late, rs the
swindlers had disappeared after dispos-
ing Of the entire lot of coffee to "a COM

Company, OF South Dakota pro-
poses to send cold winds down
through the west at any time
when there is danger of the sun
burning the crops. Throughout
June, July, August and Septem-
Der this enterprise would doubt
less do a good business, but in
order to provide for the other
part of the year it ought to get a
grip on The warm air OF the trop-
les, so as to be able TO discourage
every blizzard before it crosses
the Canadian line. An enter
prise of this sort would make the
United States the most favored Of /.
