HIS CHILDREN'S GRAVES.

Beside Them William Patterson Rlow
Out His Brains-A Crazed Man Who
Came From Chicago TO Louisville to Die.
LOUISVILLE, KY, March 25.-By his
children's graves, in beautiful Cave
Hill, William Peterson, retired mer-
chant, formerly of this city, took his
own life an hour before noon to-day.
Beneath an evergreen bush, whese
leaves were despatched with blood, the
body was found. He came from his
Chicago home with his mind fully set
on ending his life on the spot woere he
wished to be buried. 1t was spot held
dear in his thoughts, for four of his
large family of children rest there, AND
and among them was the child whom pc
dotted upon more than all the Others a
letter was found IN his pocket to his be-
som friend, Mr.. William Morris, an In
surauce man, which tells the story OF
his last thoughts. II reads:
"MY DEAR FRIEND MORRIS have
come home to die. For years | have
been trying to resist, but can resist no
longer. | want rest. Bury me on this
lot. Have no ceremonies by church or
lodge; bury me in a plain and simple
way without any display. You will find
enclosed money which will defray ex-
penses. l Hope that l have made my
peace with God. May God bless you
and all my friends"
There was no signature, and for sew
eral hours nothing was known OF the
identity of civilian Peterson" the
name on the cemetery ticket which he
used. Insanity is the cause Of Mr..
Peterson's act. In 1879 Mr.. Peterson
was sent to the Central Insane Asylum,
near Anchorage, and he was confined
there one year. He has since been
eccentric, and it was constantly feared
by his family that he would commit
suicide.
Mr.. Peterson came to the city Fri
day, and called at his daughters resi-
dence. He was more peculiar than
usual. Mrs. Scheurer's fears were
aroused, and, by letter which she re-
ceived last Wednesday from one Of her
Chicago sisters, saying that her father
had asked one OF his sons for pistol to
take with him so Louisville, the family
feared that he meant TO kill his wife
and himself. No one saw him enter
the cemetery, but several men working
inside noticed him pass up the broad
avenue.
Private Watchman Ed W. Owen is in
charge OF that section of Cave Hill, and
he saw Mr.. Peterson walking through
one of the avenues. A salutation was
passed between them. Owen was about
twenty-five yards fromsthe Peterson lot
when he heard the report OF pistol.
The direction OF the sound could not
be located. 1t was IL o'clock when the
report was heard, and an hour later
when the body was found. A pistol
rested loosely in his right hand, blood
came from his mouth, and was spat-
tered on the evergreen, snd the man
was dead. Only few feet away were
the tiny graves of his children, and he
was closest to that OF his daughter
whom he loved so foundly. The Coro-
ner arrived at 2:30 o'clock.
Mr.. Peterson was 81 years Of age, and
once owned large mill here. He went
to Chicago after leaving the asylum, 13
years ago. He was wealthy, and retired
from business Is years ago.

Another West Indian War.

KINGSTON. JAMAICA, March 26.-Another
long warfare between President HIP
polyte's government and the factions OPP
posed TO his rule is now threatened. In
surgents have crossed from the dominion
frontier into Hayti, and battle has al
ready been fought. This new government
is likely 10 cause trouble with San Domin-
20. and possibly war, should the present
insurrection be quelled. A protracted
struggle is the present outlook, owing to
the mountainous and unsettled condition OF
the country. The battle is said TO have
been q decisive one, out the result was not
stated. AS the news comes from Port Au
Prince. the seat of President Hippolyte's
government, the inference desired to be
conveyed is that the authorities were vic
torious

THEIR DIFFERENCES.
a Concise Statement of the Bering Sea
Dispute between England and the United
States

A Concise Statement of the Bertng Sea
Dispute between England and The United
States.
PARIS, March 2G-At the meeting on
Thursday OF the Boring Sea arbitrator
it was decided that the sitting of the
tribunal should not be held behind
closed doors. This permits making
public the exact points of the conten-
ton between the United States and
Great Britain.
The American Government claims
that from the nature of the industry es-
tablished on the Pribylof Islands the
United States mas the right to protect
and preserve these seals wherever they
may be found as the animals can only
be killed on United States territory
without danger of determination.
The case OF Great Britain in the other
hand, is that the Alaskan seals have
not the characteristics or animals that
can be made subject to property; that
it is not certain they land only upon the
PribylOf Islands, or that they do not
intermingle with the Russian seal herd,
or that they are peiagic in nature, and
therefore should be treated as fish
rather than land animals, that many of
the propositions essential to the position
taken by the United States are I'M
proven, or contrary to the facts.
Both nations concede that the seals
have decreased. the United States charg-
ing such decrease to the destruction of
the producing sex by open sea sealing;
Great Baitain claiming that the present
condition has been caused by the exces-
sive number Of mares killed on Islands
and the injurious effect Of the methods
there emplOTed.

spondent in Rivera and also the CORE
spondent in Buenos Ayres confirm the
report that General Sarievera, one Of
the revolutionar generals, has been de-
feated. The battle took place near
Alegrete, and not Bage as was at first
reported. Alegrete was captured only
a few days ago 1t is reported that
when General Sarivera was attacked
by Colonel Malta and his government
troops he made little resistance, and
took himself aud his army away as fast
as possible.
Gen. Tavarez, the leader Of the revo-
luton, is reported to have appeared be-
fore Bage and TO have attacked that
town. More troops are arriving from
Rio Janeiro, however, and any success
which Tavarez may gain can hardly be
more than a temporary advantage.
Five hundred soldiers OF the general
government arrived to-day in the city
of Rio Grande Do Sui. There are now
nearly two thousand men belonging to
the national army in the country af-
fected Sy the revolt, and the cause Of
the revolution is now considered hope

ally a silver certificate for 81, with a
vignette OF Martha Washington in the
left-hand corner. Emanuel's plan was
simple. He burned with acid Martha'S
cap down TO g bald head and then
put pen-and-ink whiskers on the
mother OF her country. His next move
was to remove the words lone dollar"
wherever they occurred on the bill.
He had a special stamp made OF rubber
bearing the number 5. This was dipped
in acid instead of ink and pressed down
in the corners of the bill. When re-
moved the figure showed white on the
green bill. When he was through with
it the bill looked enough like a legal
tender for IS to easily fool a foreigner.

The london money market.

LONDON, March 26.-Discount rates were
tteady during the past week at ia for
shree months and 215 for short. Market
supplies have been reduced by tax pay
ments, and some April divisions on consols
have been advanced by the Bank of Eng
land. Everything, however, points to re-
newed ease after the holidays, especially
as il is abuudsntly clear that the Austrian
currency requirements will not seriously
affect European markets. The latter have
amassed e26,O00,0O0 sterling in gold
and require only &l2,0OO,0OO
more. which will be quick
" supplied by the open markets, even if
the United States exports cease. Silver
has been weak and unsettled. A fall re-
suited from the announcement OF an in
crease Of the Indian Governments draw
ings. The great uncertainty Of the situa-
ton in the United States and India causes
delay dealings to be admitted 70 the small
est amounts and the market is very sensi-
tive. In spite Of the dearth Of speculative
activity there was fair inquiry for invest
ment stocks and prices were maintained.
American railway securities were inert
and weak early in the week, bnt advanced
sharply on Friday and Saturday.

been altered. and had told her that g
man fool to work in this country
when immigrants could be so easily
duped by altered bills, and, easier still,
Confederate money. He had made, he
said, as much as $500 day.
Emanuel, who is fireman by trade,
and who gave his address as No. 232

Last Lenten Discourse Delivered by TT.
Rev. Bishop Kahn.

Rev. Bishob Kahn.
Yesterday afternoon Bishop Kahn
concluded his course Of Lenten in
structons on the Temptation and Vic
tory of Christ over Satan. In the first
and second he had treated OF Fasting
and OF Temptation in general; In the
three succeeding ones on Avarice, Pre-
sumption ana ambition; and his con-
Guiding INSTRUCTION he devoted to the
consideration: 7 first, Of the happiness
aud peace which flood the soul triumph
ant over temptation, and secondly, Of
the spiritual dangers which threaten
the peaceful so 4i.
The CONSEQUENCES Of Satan repealed,
OF victory wOn,/iiis the heart Of the
Christian with unspeakable JOY. The
relief whicAIhe experiences is itself a
pricelessf reward for mis- brave endu'
rance. I'Tis the sweet consolation
which Eod's invisible angels minister TO
his weary soul. He feels ike one wAo
wakeIns from q troubled drfam into re-
alizHtion OF his perfect safety from the
awful SpecterS that Seemed TO haunt
himl He tastes the Sayiour's blessing;
GFRace leave with yOu;l my peace
qivd unto you. Let not your heart De
troubled, nor let 10 be afraid.
Yet this very peace of soul IS not
without its dangers. For 10 should
newell be forgotten that our spiritual
enemy abandonS his attacks only for a
time;lthat therefore our freedom from
his wicked suggestions is only truce,
NOT lasting peace. Delightful as was
Peter ecStatlc trance 4 129oor ;
mount, our Lord could not grant his pc
tltion ito remain always or permanently
I'm that bliSsiul state. Even
I'm the moments Of peace which fol-
low attive temptations, our outpoSts
must not be called in; otherwise we
shall DE taken by surprise. Our safety
lies in maintaining the sale vigilant
defensive attitude by which Satan's d.
rect ASSAULTS have been warded oH.
Bafied on one side, satan often seeks
some other avenue of approach 70 the
soul. His seeming Withdrawal from the
attack is not unfreQuentlY mere ieint
10 deceive and disarm US Perhaps our
danger is greater, when our ferVor is
kindled 20 a more than 4ented degree;
for such is Satan's cu5 ling that he
knows we are I'm reality weakest, when
in our own estimation Wa reckon our
selves strongest.
The time Of peace should be used in
determination, in forming good reSo-
lntions and preparation against future
temptations, and especially in douoly
guarding the weak point which tempta-
tiOn have revealed.
The mop then exported his hearers
in feeling terms 20 a ntire conSeera-
ton Of themselves TO Z Service OF Tod,
