The Houck Murder Case to Go to
the jury TODAY,

WV " NA AOptJs
All of the evidence in the Houck
murder case is i'll, and the case will go
to the jury today. If the case is summed
UP it will be done by w. w. Erwin.
Houck is represented by Judge Martin,
of the firm of Phelps & Martin, of Du-
luth, instead of Mr. McManuS as stated
yesterday. One of the most important
witnesses examined yesterday was Mary
and who kept him secluded in a closet
in her room three days to avoid his be-
ing lynched. Several of the witnesses
testified that they had heard Murphy
threaten to get even with Houck. and
had asked them to 20 with him to the
white Front" to see that he got fair
play. EOu,k was on the stand in his
own behalf, and related several i'll
stances when he had had trouble wita
Murphy, and that the latter had threat
ened to get even with him. The pre-
vailing opinion here is that he will be
acquitted.

cease operations. Piles of driftwood
and debris are coming down and the
banks Of the river are now far inland.
The grand jury was discharged last
evening, having brought in six indict-
mentS. The prisoners will be brought
into court at the conclusion of the
Houck trial. No bill was found against
Peter Ecks:ran, charged with shooting
man at Forest Lake last winter.

feet since o'clock this morning. At
Shelburne Falls the North river, which
runs into Deerfield, is rising rapidly
and threatening property along its
banks. Much apprehension is felt
along the upper Deerfield valley of a
break of the Newtons dam at Reeds
boro. 1t was pronounced unsafe at the
tipe Ct tbs yqbastoWna disaster.
x GWU-iliasted ScilU0fler. supposed to
be the Brave. of Deer Isle. Me-, went
ashore about third of mile north of
Knobs life-saving station, Blum Island,
near Newburyport, Mass. The life
saving crew went off duty May 1, and
nobody saw the wreck except Capt.
Stevens and Nathaniel Watson, VINO
were stopping there. They got two men
and boy to help them, and succeeded
in getting a short line OH board the
craft.
Heavy Sea,
however, swept the rope out Of the
hands of the crew, who were i'll the rig
ging, and it was then seen that they
were doomed. Soon after, the spars
fell, and with them four men, who are
supposed to be all there were on the
boat. The wreck is completely broken
to pieces.
OLD reside ITS of Rutland, VT, say so
severe wind has not prevailed there III
twenty years. Nearly all of the roof OF
the shirt factory was torn Off, while
about twenty-five feet of the roof OF the
Bates house was taken up bodily, and
carried some distance. Hardly dwell
ing house escaped injury, blinds, win
duws and chimneys sDeing destroyed.
Telephone and telegraph wires suffered
badly, anG many valuable trees were
blown down in the heart of the city.
AT Portsmouth, N. H., the worst
storm of the season still continues with
out any sign of abatement. Business
throughout the city is practically sus-
pended. The harbor is full of sailing
vessels which have sought refuge from
the storm. A break in the east bank on
Riley's pond Oh Castle Hill, near Whit
insville. Mass, this morning caused
quite serious washout and damage to
property. Thousands of gallons of
water poured down the highway lead
ing to the village. An estimate Of the
damage cannot be given. Four inches
OF rain have fallen in forty-eight hours,
one and half inches falling i'll one
hour. The dam of the extensive Within
reservoir is being watched closely. The
weather has not yet cleared.

FINANCIAL.
New York.

New YORK, May 4.-There did not
seem to be any bottom for stock prices.
LiQuidatiOnS broke out in new spots,
more especially in the railroad group.
AS for the induStrialS, the more they
declinee the greater disposition seemed
to be to sell. Cordage common dropped
to %, General Electric to S5, Chicago
Gas to 69% and Cotton Oil to 3S19. AS
stated, the desire to sell spread to
holders of railway stocks. Burlington
q Quincy broke to So; st. Paul to III
preferred to 1l5; Rock Island to 76;4 and
Michigan Central to 9915. These prices
of railway stocks show decline of any
where from to 4 per cent for the day.
Just before 2 o'clock call loans Jumped
tn 90 per cent and this added to the gen
eral decentralization.
A fuller account of the Wall street
market will be found on the first page of
today's GLOBE.
The Post says: ut is quite impossible
to predict with certainty the invest
mentS' or the markets future. There
was reason to think today that Wall
street had seen the worst. Not one of
the wild rumors circulated yesterday
about the banks has received a mo-
ment'S confirmation. The action Of the
banks today was generally marked by
firmneSs, confidence, and resolution.
Merchants have met the monetary
shock with an ease of mind clearly born
of sound financial status. London
houses, it will be noticed. bought the
railway stocks promptly at this morn
ing'S opening, and there is reason 10 be-
lieve that their purchases represented
this time had something more
than New York orders In
the conservative broker houses Of
the street there were heard from en-
phatically today capitalists who rarely
show themselves in Wall street; bar
gain hunters. whose presence means
assurance, and whose absence in such
time as this is the worst of all bad
Omens. The bond markets intrinsic
strength was demonstrated throughout
the day in very remarkable degree. 1t
is, however, by DO means to be assumed
that the recovery, if it is actually in
progress, will be sharp and long-con-
tinued. An overturn like this is not
forgotten in day. The grave question
remains. moreover, what is it that Wall
street, always first to bend before
gathering financial storm, has felt ap.
preaching for the commercial world at
large? The money market is no less
creature of reason than of instinct, and
it has sounded formidable warning.

FARM MORTGAGES.
Western Farmers Not Very Heav-
lily in Debt to the East.

Western Farmers Not Very Heav-
lily in Debt to the East.
New YORK, May 3.-Edward Atkin-
son was in the city yesterday, and to a
reporter he gave some information con-
cerning Western farm mortgages that
will be interesting to capitalists and in
vestors. Mr.. Atkinson has paid particu-
lar attention TO the investigation of this
question, and the results OF his re-
searches show that Western farmers are
not incumbered so heavily with mort
cages as has been believed by people
here. Complete returns of Iowa and
Montana, and nearly complete returns
of Ohio, Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska,
show that more than One-half of the
Western farms are free of any mortgage
of any kind. Less than one-half are
subjected to mortgages. The amount of
the mortgages, taken as whole, is less
than one-half Of the mortgaged land
Half the money loaned on mortgages
has been lent by citizens of the
same state in which the mortgaged
cages of Western farmers to Eastern
capitalists or others who do not owell in
the same states Is ! SIS than 1215 per
cent of the true value of the farm lands
in the states named. The Western
farmer is to a greater extent a creditor
than he is debtor, and one of the
causes of the recent embarrassment of
what are called "mortgage securities
companies" are that the farmers who
owned government lands have lately
been able to get money at so much lower
rates than those they formerly paid as
to have tempted mortgage companies to
loan money on speculative investments
having no connection with farms of any
kind. These facts have an important
bearing on the monetary question. The
solid sense of the prosperous farmers OF
the West is now being eXerted, and will
form an important factor in determin-
ing the quality Of the money which
these creditors mean to maintain. The
average life OF the Western farm mort
gage is less than five years. Scarcely
any are in existence that have not been
negotiated at the lesSeniDg rates of in
terest during the last five years.
