WEDNESDAY, JUNE Z, 1898
CAUSE OF HARD TIMES.

In a country like the United States,
where famine is never known and good
crops are the rule; where no standing
army, to speak of, is maintained at an
immense cost to the taxpayers; where
the per cent of crime is small; where
resources are unparalleled and wages
are uniformly good, it is a matter of
surprise that such widespread hard times
can exist. The causes are difficult to
assign, being almost as varied as there
are exponents to assign them. The
republicans say the universal stringency
is due to the anticipated lowering of the
tariff, while the democrats as persist
emily claim that the. tariff as it now ex-
lists, has brought the present troubles
the Capitalization of capital is alone re-
sponsihle; the religious bigot that Jusu-
its are tremendously disturbing cause.
No condition, fancied or real, escapes
the reasoning of some men as being di-
rectly responsible for the present strin-
gency. The silver lining to the dark
cloud is found in the fact that its sud-
den appearance may be as quickly dis
PEELED. If the Sherman act is unwise,
as it now seems to be almost univer-
sally conceded, it will not take long to
repeal it, as congress meets again in Sep
tember. Our resources are so vast and
varied that few millions one way or the
other cut no figure in national sense.
The next congress will certainly legis-
late in a manner to ease the existing
condition of affairs. If they legislate at
all they will do so. The uncertainty as
to just what they will do is the most
palpable cause of alarm, on the princi-
pie that it is the unknown which terri
fies. 1t is not likely that the new con-
gress will do anything nearly SO sweep
ing as the democratic platform, taken
literally, would require. Most men,
even among the democrats, do not favor
free trade to the extent as there stated.
There will yet be ample protection on
all commodities that need it.
Locally, the money market is easier
than it was a month ago; collections
are better and a general convalescent
tone is noted. The lessons taught in
the east will prove beneficial to our
local merchants, and they will restrict
the practice of giving credit upon in
sufficient security. They will stick
closer to the cash system, while curtail-
ing and hedging in all reasonable ways.
The greatest cause for the congestion
here lies in the fact that the wool is tied
up on account of an indisposition to sell.
At this season of the year million and
half of dollars are usually disbursed.

BANK OFFICERS ARRESTED.
A Depositor Caught in a Failure
Charges Grand Larceny.

Denver, Col, July 26.-President w. j.
Lawrence, of the Peoples Savings Bank,
was arrested at his Office this afternoon
on a warrant charging grand larceny in
connection with the failure of the saw
ings bank The warrant was sworn to
by w. w. Casey in behalf of his wife,
Sophie Casey, who is depositor in the
bank to the amount of 81 500. The same
warrant upon which President Lawrence
was arrested also called for the arrest of
Cashier F. G. Schrader upon the same
charge, and he too was arrested.
The charges upon which the proceed
ings are brought, is that the bank re-
ceived deposit from Mrs Casey within
thirty days previous to the failure. This
is alleged to be a violation of the state
law, and is held by that law to be prima
facie evidence that the officials of the
bank knew that the bank was insolvent.
This, under the law, makes the officials
liable to prosecution for grand larceny.
Mrs. Casey made deposit on June 25
last The bank closed its doors on July
II, its last business day being Saturday,
July Is.
President Lawrence declares that no
official act of the officers Of the bank can
reflect upon their honor or good faith, and
that he has no fears of the developments.

TRYoN's FATAL SIGNAL.
An Unimportant Hitch in the Testi
monY Before the Court.


Valetta, Malta, July 26.-The court
martial Investigating the loss Of the Brit
ish battleship Victoria met again to-day.
Henry d. Bradshaw, flag lieutenant Of
the flagship Trafalgar, who accompanied
Rear Admiral Markham when he trans
ferred his flag to the CamperdOWn, was
recalled Lieut. Bradshaw stated that
when Vice Admiral Tryon signaled the
question after seeing his first signal not
at once obeyed by the Camperdown,
What are you waiting for2" he (the wit
nessl did not report the question to Ad-
miral Markham until little time had
elapsed.
Vice Admiral Sir Michael Culme Sey-
mour remarked that the testimony was
opposed to the tenor Of Admiral Mark
hams dispatch to the admiralty.
1t. Bradshaw adhered to his testimony
and added that Admiral Markham's re-
ply, II don't understand to Admiral
Tryon's questioning signal was made
after the Camperdown had commenced to
turn inward in response to the first signal
for the evolution.
Admiral Markham was recalled in con-
sequence Of this testimony. and said per
haps he was mistaken in his previous tes-
timony when he stated that it was Lieut..
Bradshaw who reported to him the ques-
tioning signal from the Victoria. 1t might
have been someone else. At any rate mis-
decision had been affected by this signal.
Admiral Markham protested against a
certain part of the testimony given yes
terday by Captain Noel, of the battleship
Nile. and expressed a wish that it be eX-
pun red from the record. The court re
fused to strike it out.
The prosecutor announced the case for
the prosecution closed.

Washington, July ga cable dispatch
was received to-day by DR. Wyman from

THE OUTBREAK AT NAPLES.
London, July 26.-With reference to
the report of the presence of cholera in
Naples and the statement of the Asso-
ciated Press that noting has besn ascer-
tanned upon inquiry to Justify it in assert
ing that cholera was present in that city,
The London agent of the Associated Press
has received a letter from his representa-
tive in Rome saying that he telegraphed
to London on Saturday last the fact that
the officials in Naples had re
ported four cases of the disease
as having occurred there during the early
part of last week This telegram never
was delivered, and there is no doubt that
it was suppressed. The letter adds that
neither Naples nor Rome newspapers
make mention of cholera anywhere in
Italy, though the Associated Press ad-
vices show that it does prevail at Alex
andria and other places in Piedmont, and
that choleraic disorders prevail at Cuneo,
the capital of the province of that name.
The usual pilgrimages have been prohib-
tied, and cordons of troops have been es-
tablished to enforce the prohibition.

AFIGHT OVER A DISCHARGE
JUDGE Speer Apt to Order RObinSOn'S
Reinstatement.

rba Judge Says the Conduct of the
can+raIs officials Was Outrageous
iF Robinson's Story is True-The Pc
titioner Claims That He Was Dis
cbareed Because His Wife Won a
Suit Against the Road.
Macon. Ca, July 26-An investigation
into the cause of the discharge of Section
7ossJ T., Robinson from the employ of
the Central railroad, came up before
Judge Emory Speer in the United States
court this morning. The hearing was on
tba petition of the discharged man ask
ing that he be reinstated by the receiver
because he believed that he was unjustly
discharged as a result of a suit entered
Inv his wife against the railroad for dam
ages. The man was discharged, Sup't.
NIcNeely claims, not on this account, but
from mcompetency.
At the hearing Robinson was rep
resented by H. v Washington as his
counsel The receiver was represented
bv Mr.. Cunningham of Savannah.
Several witnesses, including Section
Master Fulgham, were put up to prove
that the section was not in as good con-
dition as it was before laying down the
steel rails, but in answer to the court
Section Master F'ulgham stated that it
was more difficult to keep the road in
order now than formerly
On the stand Robinson grew dramatic
over his long and faithful service, extend
ing over twenty-four years, showed evil
deuce of his competency, and said he was
confident that the cause of his discharge
was his wffe's suit which went against
the Central.
After argument by the counsel, Judge
Speer said he would take the matter un-
der advisement and render his decision
later He intimated however, that his
opinion was that Robinson should be re-
instated, and said that if the circum-
stances were such as Robinson recited,
the conduct of the officials was outrag-
cons.

MURDERED BY MASKED MEN
TarpOn Springs the Scene Of a Cow
aTdIy Crime.

Five Assassins Set Out to Kill the
Slayer of the Town Marshal-They
Kill a Watcher by Their Intended
Victims Bedside-The Marshaps
Wounded Slayer Also Shot by the
Assassins as He Lay in His Bed.
Tarpon Springs, Fla, July 26.-The ter
rible tragedy which occurred here on the
Fourth of July, when the town marshal
was killed, had its repetition this morn
ing when a bold attempt was made to kill
Bud Stephenson, who is one of the per-
sons who shot the marshal. Since receiv-
ing his nearly fatal shots on the Fourth,
Stephenson has occupied a cot in small
house in the southern part of town,
where he has been attended by the local
physicians and members and friends of his
family. He was doing remarkably well and
the physician pronounced his case as
hopeful He had two very ugly shots in
him, one of which passed through his
skull, but withal there was every indiea-
tion that he would recover, but at the
present writing the hope has vanished,
for bold attempt was made this morn
ing by gang Of masked men TO kill him.
Shortly after two o'clock two shots were
heard in the vicinity Of the house which
Stephenson occupied, and the shots were
followed by the screams of women, which
wakened the inhabitants living near by,
who soon were out and at the house TO
learn what had happened.
A WATCHER KILLED.
1t was terrible sight they saw when
they entered. Stephenson was not dead

him, though he had been shot and was

bed in big pool of blood, and with a hole
shot In his neck in which u man could
place his fist. The details of the shoot
ing, so far as can be ascertained, are as
follows: Shortly before 2 O'Clock Deputy
Sheriff John Mobly, who was watching
the house occupied by Stephenson from
point near by, was approached by gang
of masked men and told to keep quiet and
was covered with rife by one of tho
gang.
THE COwABDLY CRIME,
The others walked up to the house aud
tried TO enter. The women folks were
sleeping on the veranda, and in order to
get in, the men had to climb over them

gle ensued. The women fought heroically

ALLEYS CRIME CONFESSED.
The Three Negroes Who Killed Pc
teTSOn Under Arrest.

One of Them Tells the Story of the
Murder, but Denies That He Fired
ANY of the Shots-His Story Cor
roborated by the Appearance Of the
Pistols of the other Two Men.
Lyons, Ga, July 26.-The murderers of
A. A. Peterson, of a Hey have been ar
rested. Instead of white men, they are
bright mulattos and when theycommitted
the crime had their faces blacked, which
accounts for Petersons mistaling them
for white men with black faces. Their
names are Hyro Brighton, D. Manuel
and Hyram Jacobs. Brighton and Man
uel are under arrest at Alley and
Jacobs is under arrest at this place. The
MORNING News correspondent heard him
confess that he, with the other two ruff
fans, arranged the plot to rob Peterson.
He said tley went to his store together,
that he (Jaeobs) stood on the steps and
one of the others went inside while the
other stood in the door. He says that
the others did the shooting,
which is corroborated by the pistols Of
the other two men, one of them having
been fired four times and the other once,
which accounts for the five shots fired
into Peterson. Jacobs gave the other two
men away to a negro barber here a few
nights ago, giving as his reason for having
his ~mustache shaved off that he
had got into trouble at Alley,
and wished to disguise him
self. This statement to the barber led to
the immediate arrest of Brighton and
Manuel at Alley, but Jacobs proved harder
to catch. Since Saturday, different par
ties of men have been securing the coun-
try in every direction until this morning,
when he was arrested in Bulloch county,
Excitement is high and Judge
Lynch may sit on the bench and
pass sentence inside of the next twenty

The Kansas Mine Owners Preparing
to Fight if Necessary.
Weir City, Kan, July 26-An interest
ing fact in regard to the strike among the
coal miners was made public today. It
is stated that the negroes imported from
Alabama, Tennessee and other states to
take the places of the stikers have been
placed under military discipline. They
are confined in a well built stockade, and
when one mutineers he is Immediately
thrown outside the breast works. Capt.
Cleary. of St Louis, is in
charge of the negroes. Capt. Cleary
is famous for his service in the pro
lection of property during the great Bur
lngton strike, and also during the south
western strike led by Martin Irons in
1856 His experience in this line is very
great and his nerve unquestioned. He is
now engaged in drilling the negroes in the
st0ckade, and yesterday evening went
through a number Of movements with
them, telling them he wanted them to
understand and act promptly, as they
might have to fight soon. This indicates
that the negroes understand the situation
thoroughly.
NO TROUBLE DURING THE DAY.

no disturbances to-day at Weir City,

Louisville, KY, July 26.-The financial
situation is perceptibly easier to-day
Yesterdays storm, which closed three
banks, has relieved the surcharged at
mosphere in money circles and the worst
is believed to be over. The banks which
have' stood the drain until now
are in little danger of going down,
as the greatest pressure has passed off.
The country banks which caused all of
the trouble have done all the harm that
lies in their power The local situatio Il
has never been at all serious. A number
of smaller depositors, it is true, have
taken alarm and Withdrawn their de-
posits from some of the banks, but the
drain from this source has not been sufti-
cient to cause any embarrassment. Most
of the banks received big bundles of cash
this morning from outside places. One
bank, which was the subject OF rumor,
raised S3OO,0O in Chicago, which placed
il on a solid basis.
