Hall Knocked Out by Mitchell.

LONDON, May 3l.-Sporting peo-
pie are talking about severe fight
in earnest between Charlie Mitch
ell, the noted pugilist, and Jim
Hall, who knocked out Frank
Slavin at the National Sporting
club, on Monday night. 1t appears
that Mitchell met Hall and quar-
relied last night near "Pony
MoOre's" resort known as st.
James Hall. The pugilists tried to
settle the quarrel with their fists,
and Hall got decidedly the worst
of the encounter. Hall was knocked
down, had his head cut, and looked
very much like a wreck. The pO-
lice, who came upon the scene, sue
ceeded in arresting Hall, whom
they marched off in custody. Halls
injured head was dressed and
bandaged and he was detained as a
prisoner. Mitchell escaped arrest.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

New YORK, May s.-R. G. Dunn s. Co.'S
weekly review of trade: Had business In
Wall street been unsound or unhealthy, the
collapse OF prices during the past week
might have caused panic Nearly all
stocks fell. but the industrials were most
seriously depressed. Cordage trust fell ~
points, sugar 10 and Manhattan 26. Several
failures occurred without general disturb
ance and the appointment of n receiver Tor
the Cordage company was in some sense
relief. Other speculative markets are on
the whole rather stronger than week ago.
At nearly all points the backward season
and bad weather. with slow collections, give
cause for complaints. speculative markets
have been rather strong; wheat mas al
vanced L., corn 19sc and pork !3c per Dbl,
with scarcely any discOveraDle reason
though western reports regarding the com
ing crops are unsatisfactory. OH has drop
ned nearly &c per bDl, but cotton Is I'M
changed though the sales here have been
heavy Prices of commodities average 40
OF per cent lower than week ago, and the
Tendency is downward, as monetary diff
culties Increase. Among the failures of the
week only one is reported of rating above
200 OOO ofly one between SIPS 600 and $780,
600 two between $4,000 and $4,000 and eight
between $1,000 and $4,000, and In all, only
fifteen rating exceeding $1,000 out of 240 In
all OF the United states and Canada.

The ninth annual meeting of the

the custom of the order, was followed
by a banquet in the evening. The
meeting revealed a very satisfactory
state of affairs, both in membership
and financial matters, and the banquet
was a brilliant assemblage of officers,
the repast being followed by some
sterling speeches. The report of Re-
corder James Il. Sterling showed that
the membership in this state is at
present GA. A year ago il was 257,
but since that time there have been %
accessions and loss of eight. The
membership is divided as follows:
First class, original, 242; first class,

The annual banquet was held in the
dining room of the Hotel Cadillac and
it was the finest thing of the kind in
that city this season. The balcony and
north end of the room were profusely
decorated with flags and flowers, and
at the north end the speakers table
faced the other tables in the room.
The tables were named after the cele-

HOT TIMES IN WALL STREET.
Cordage Trust, Chicago Gas and Sugai
Drop and Crush Several Firms.

Wall street, New York City, the
famous place where fortunes are made
and lost in an hour has had very
panicky experience which shook the
brokers and dealers on change very
severely. The stock of the National
Cordage trust had been shalSy for sew
eral days and finally took a heavy
slump toward the bottom. TO cap the
climax the trust was unable to stem
the tide and Chancellor McGill, Of
Jersey City, the National Cordage com.
pany headquarters, appointed a re-
ceiver for the concern and the drop
which followed in Wall street caught
three prominent firms and pushed them
to the ground.
Chicago gas, sugar and General Elec-
trio stocks were carried down and the
scenes on change were of the widest
kind. Then came the announcement
that deacon" White, one of the prom
inent leaders, had failed and the storm
grew more violent until the nerves of
operators were at their highest tension.
As the time for closing drew on n
change was evident and most stocks
grew firmer. The storm had passed.

CARLYLE HARRIS DIES WITH A
PROTEST OF Innocence,
The Famous wife Murderer breathes HIS
Last In the Electrocution Chair ut
Sing, N. Y.

Carlyle W. Harris, convicted of the
murder of his wife, was electrocuted at
Sing Sing prison, New York. His last
words were, 81 have no further
reservation TO make | desire to say
that | am absolutely innocent"
The crime, trial and execution of the
Harris was one of the most famous of
recent times. The story of the crime
has been so often told that it is not
necessary to tell it again. The trial
was very exhaustive and the counsel
and friends of Harris made most
determined fight and after the
sentence of death had been
passed appeals were made to the
governor and every measure possible
taken to avert or modify the sentence.
Every effort was vain, however, and
the sentence was carried out as in
tended.
Carlyle had the same -blooded
courage to the last which had sus-
tanned him throughout his long i'm
prisonment and trial.
Harris had babe an aifectionate fare
well TO his broken-hearted, trusting
mother and the night before the
execution he slept peacefully. A light
ministration of the prison chaplain
were followed by clean shave and a
hair cut, then in new suit of clothes
Harris was ready for the ordeal. The
apparatus which provided the death
dealing current had been tested at
1,76O volts and % witnesses-physi-
clans, officials and reporters-had
assembled in the death room when
Harris was brought in. A moment
later he was in the chair aud when he
made the remark given above, protest
ing his innocence, he was very pale,
but calm. His legs and arms were

death came at the first contact.
Three hours later the body was

THE VETS GAN VOTE,
But Not at the soldiers Home II Thel
Home Is Elsewhere.


Home is Elsewhere.
The case against the election in8pec-
tors of Grand Rapids township, Kent
county, Cor refusing to accept the votes
of Is inmates of the Soldiers Home
came TO a sudden end at Grand Rapids.
AS the attorneys were prepared to
make their arguments, Judge Grove
cut them short by taking the case out
of the hands of the jury. He revised
the case briefly and cited decision of
the New York supreme court upon a
case identical with this one, and said
he considered it his duty to order a
verdict of not guilty. There is no
question but that the soldiers had a
right to vote, but the question is as
TO where that vote should be deposited.
The New York supreme court held
that man neither gained nor lost a
residence by his admission to state
institution, and according to this the
inmates of the Soldiers Home have a
right to vote, but only in the town or
precincts where their private homes
are. The jury therefore returned a
verdict of not guilty and the respond
ents were discharged. AS the case
was a criminal one instead of civil, it is
now ended and cannot be appealed.
This result is great victory for the
Democratic election inspectors and
their attorney, Hon. |. NJ. Turner,
especially as Judge Grove is Repub-
lican.

Health omcers' Criminal Careiessnoss.

Secretary Baker of the state board of
health, has been active trying to over
come the criminal carlessness of sew
eral health boards in Tuscola county.
There was death from diphtheria at
Caro- and from a letter received by
Secretary Baker from DIR. ID. 5. Stew
ems, the local health officer, it appears
that the victim was child who, after
suffering with the disease for several
days, was brought on the cars from
Millington where diphtheria has been
very prevalent for some time. The
sick child reached Caro- after having
stopped at the Vassar depot. AS soon
as a physician was called he pro-
nounced it "a fatal case of malignant
diphtheria, and death ensued within
three days. DIR. Stevens says that
nothing has been done, as the health
board does not like to offend the
family. He was rather sharply re-
minded of his duty by Secretary Baker,
who also sent instruction. TO the health
officials at Millington and Vassar.
