New York, May 18.--The jury in the
case of Mr.. Henry G. Meyer, who was
charged with poisoning Ludwig Brandt,
has returned a verdict Of murder in the
second degree. The penalty is imprison-
ment for life.
The moment the verdict was uttered
confused murmur was heard in the court
room and Meyer sat down i'll his chair abb
solutely crestfallen. His hands twitched
nervously and his whole appearance
showed plainly that he was disappointed
at the verdict. Lawyer Brooke made a
notion for new trial and the recorder
gave him two weeks to file his reasons.
This act will stay the sentence and Meyer
will probably receive bapishment for life IN
the beginning of June. He was taken
back to the Tombs prison.

in good faith. The three men were about
to start for the woods. The crowd made
a break for them at the boat landing.
Cook drew a revolver and walked through
them. Ropes were thrown about the
necks of Morrison and Nee and they
were kicked and beaten. Then they were
led to the train, placed on board and told
never to show their faces in Towner
again. The affair is the sensation of the
whole country.

DEPLETED TREASURY.
DiscouraGing Outlook for the Future
a source of Anxiety.

The present depleted condition of the
treasury and the discouraging outlook for
the future are a source Of anxiety to the
officials of the Treasury Department.
Already the gold reserve, which had been
brought up by the last bond issue to S1O7,-
800, $40, has been reduced by expectation
since March 10 to less than $50, 600 600 with
no indications that the foreign demand will
cease until il has reached q much lower
point. With the exception Of the gold re-
serve, and counting every available dollar
In the vaults of the treasury, the govern
ment has less than S40,O0O,00O with which
to meet Its obligations. Nor does the future
show any signs of encouragement. On the
contrary, the probable deficit Of $1,000, OOO
for the month of May is likely to be in
creased by sl5.OOO.OOO during the two sue
ceeding months. The closest calculation
that can now be made shows that the de-
felt for the fiscal year ending June 80 will
be approximately $T4,5O0,OOO. There re-
mains but $3.0OO,O0O of this amount yet to
meet during the present fiscal year.
While II is confidently believed that the
receipts for July will increase somewhat,
yet 1t is believed that the disbursements
will also increase. A conservative estimate
of the deficit for July is s12,0O00O0, this
Increase being accounted for by the pay
ment of many obligations, including about
N.5O.OOO in interest that natures at the
beginning of the fiscal year. During June
the pension payments will amount to about
$l0.Oo,OO, and during July to nearly SILL
10000. The exact amount of receipts and
expenditures for the present month and for
the fiscal year to date are as follows
Receipts for month to date, $40, 400 SSs:
receipts for fiscal year to date S266 239 63T :
expenditures for month to date, SIG, 27l 800:

Ell ESPARTERO's TRAGIC DEATH.
The Young Matador Was Soon to Be
Married.

LONDON, May 2S.-The Standards cor
respondent at Madrid sends further details
OF the killing of Ell Espartero the matador,
at yesterdays bull fight. The bull, which
was very wild animal. had killed four
horses and he became extremely fierce when
the banderilleros fixed their darts in his
neck Six thousand persons were watching
the fight and the excitement was intense.
The bull was almost in the center of the
arena, paving the ground and tossing his
head. His eyes CLEANED wickedly as Ell Es-
partero approached him with his usual dar-
ing. which brought forth plaudits from the
spectators.
AS he got near the Infatuated bull 1t made
a rush for him and knocked him down. He
was not apparently hurt. for he sprang
nimbly to his feet and again attacked the
animal, which had wheeled about, prepare
tory to making another charge upon his
enemy. There was a moment of suspense,
and then, with lowered head, the bull rushed
at the matador. who agilely sprang to one
side and plunged his dagger into the neck
of the animal Just as he did so the bull
swung his head in the direction of Ell Es-
partero, at the same time lifting ii. One of
the animals horns caught the unfortunate
matador In the abdomen and tore his body
open almost up to the chest. Blood poured
from the CHASTITY wound In torrent as I'll
Espartero sank fainting to the ground. He
was at once carried to an infirmary, where
the doctors pronounced his injuries mortal.
A priest was summoned and administered
extreme JUNCTION to the dying man In the
presence of many gorgeously attired bull
fighters, all of whom knelt bareheaded
about the couch upon which Ell Espartero
had been placed. In five minutes the man
was dead.
The spectators, or at least the greater
portion Of them, did not propose that their
pleasure should be spoiled by the death of
a man who had been well paid to assist in
making a holiday for them. and so the
fight was continued as soon as the excite
n,ent had somewhat subsidized. All the
bulls fought well, killing fifteen horses and
flooring two of the toreadors, who were
severely bruised.
Ell Espartero was engaged to be married
and the wedding was to have taken place
shortly. He was extremely popular, and
had made large fortune. 1t was his in
tention to retire from the ring next year.

Judge Hagner today granted the petition
Of Plumber John J. Mccain for discharge
from custody upon writ of habeas corpus.
AS heretofore stated in The Star, Mccain
was under arrest upon a warrant charging
him with conducting the plumbing business
without having first obtained a license
therefor. The District showed that license
had been refused McCann by the plumbing
board, and that Mccain endeavored to con-
duct his business without 1t. Mccain con-
tended that the act establishing the board
was unconstitutional, and that 1t had no
right to deprive a man of his right to earn
living at his own business
In discharging McCann from custody
Judge Hagner merely decided that the war
rant upon which he had been arrested failed

from Rushville, Neb., to the effect that the

feet certain prominent officials of the gov

mony of some of the witnesses taken be-
fore Senator Kyle shows that prominent
claim lawyers have visited the Indian res
ervations ard have manufactured claims
against the government which have not the
shadow of foundation.
The story has stirred up more than little
talk in this city. One authority a clerk in

and as special agent in the field, said to a

He did not believe that among the five thou

fraudulent. "All these are old Stories" he
said, land are quite without foundation

LONDON, May 2s.-A dispatch from
Paris to the Standard says that the report
of the Suez Canal Company. mentioning
the fact that Ferdinand de Lesseps has
been replaced by Vice President Guichard
as acting president. states that the direc-
tors are unanimously of the opinion that
the company has a great duty to fulfill to-
ward the founder of the enterprise. 1t is
therefore proposed that the shareholders
vote life annuities to the members of the
de Lesseps family. 1t is proposed that an
annuity of GO,COO francs go to the thirteen
children of NJ. de Lesseps. and the same
amount to Nine de Lesseps during the
lifetime of her husband. and 10000 francs
after his death. The 10000 francs result
ing from this reduction of Mime. de Les
seps' annuity will be divided among the
children surviving NJ. de Lesseps. In case
of the death of any of the children the
survivors will have their annuities increas-
ed.
The company's revenue in 1893 amounted
to 765I9.992 francs, and the expenses. In
ir Guiding per cent interest. to 36,964, 4o5
