BY MISFORTUNE.
Richard Mercer's Death an Accident
Says Coroner Lincoln

Coroner Lincoln completed his investi-
cations in the Randall Mercer shooting
fatality today, and announced as his ver-
dict that Richard Mercer came to his
death, "not by act or negiect
Of any person or persons, but Dy mis-,
fortune" This clears David -. hanIail
OF any blame in the sad AFFAIR. Inc
case is of too recent date to need
an extended restatement. Briefly, how
ever, David c. Randall and Richard Mer-
Ger. prominent business men, the former
In this city and the latter at
GreenyilIe, were IS sitting pal,a III N Trade de
Mercer who had come into the city
to collect his payroll money
started to show Mr.. Randall a revolver
and passed it over. When Mr.. handaii
took the weapon, there was an ex,
plosion and bullet pioughe9
its way through his left hand ana loogeo
in Mercers chest killing him almost IN
stantly.
In examining the witnesses Coroner
| Lincold met with considerable difficulty
| in ascertaining the cause ol
the revolver's exploding. The weapon
| is self-cocker and requires a
very strong pressure on the trigger ts
stronger than would naturally be given IL
the act of taking the weapon
from the hand of another person. Acting
upon this belief the coroner has come
| to the conclusion that in drawing tn'
weapon from the pocket, the hamme
| caught and was forced back to haif coci
and when taken by Mr.. Randall the sligh
pressure threw it back and dropped 1t OF
the cartridge. The hammer is OF th
| old -fas shioned style, having "spur o
thumb piece which could catch on an.
obstruction.

CONSPIRACY.
One Of Santos Accomplices
Suicides Today.

PARIS, June 2S.-A despatch from
Mont pelier capital OF Herault, situated
about 75 miles from Marseilles, announces
an anarchist tragedy growing out oil the
efforts OF the police to discover the ac-
completes of Cesario Santo, the assassin
of President Carnot.
The detectives hast evening decided to
surround and search the house OF man
named Granier, supposed TO be an anar-
chist and possible aecomplice OF Santo.
Granier, it appears, during last Sunday
afternoon, previous to the attack upon
President Carnot, was heard TO remark
"By this time Carnot must have received
his quietus."
AS the President was not stabbed until
late the same evening il was naturally
concluded, when the news OF the outrage
became public and when 1t was SHOWN
that Santo had visited Montpelier,
that Granier must have known that an
attempt was to be made upon the life OF
the President. When the detectives ar
rived. Granier's house was surrounded.
They burst in the door and Granier was
seen seated at table eating his supper.
He sprang to feet and for moment
stood motionless with surprise.
Then with surprising swiftness,
and before the detectives could secure
hlm, the anarchist picked up long, sharp
knife and plunged it into his abdomen,
and with a few swift turns OF the wrist
disemboweled himself ana iell 10 lhe noor
where he expired almost Immediately
afterward.
The police then searched the place and
according to report, a quantity OF an
| archistic literature was discovered TO-
| gether with documents which connects
| Santo with Granier and Others In the
| conspiracy which resulted in the muroef
! President Carnot. The police now de-
clare that they have established beyond
doubt that Santo, Granier and the man
named Loborie, who was arrested OF
| Monday. and others not yet In CUSTODY
plotted the death of President Carnot In
! order to avenge the executions OF Ra'
| vachol, Valiant and Henry, all OF whom
before dying, announced that then

CONSOLIDATED MUST PAY
For the Ice House Of Anthony & Co.
Which Burned From a Spark.
BIZ Tie Associated Press.

Bv TIC AWOcldICI fTtSs.
BosroN. June 2S.-The New York, Prov
idence & Boston Railroad Company must
pay to r. G. Anthony, ct al, ice
dealers OF Providence, r. l., the full
value OF the ice houses and stock
therein. which were burned in April,
1891, being set on fire by spark from q
passing engine.
It was thus decided by Chief JUS
tice Fields, approved by the full bench
of the Supreme Court in an opinion handed
down today. The defendant made many
exceptions during the trial and contended
that the plaintiff could not collect Dam,
ages because tho deed to the property had
not been recorded at the time of the fire.
The Supreme Court now overrules these
exceptions.
The buildings were valued at about
fo.OOO and there were 5000 tons Of ice in
them valued at 81 80 per ton.

and. as the wind was high, he vas ad
vised by experienced persons to put
for the shore. but he kept on his way
ard nothing o was e Of him by
the people of that vicinity, who sup
posed he had been drowned. His
friends here were at once notified and
made inquiry and found he had been
seer on a train on the Wabash road
the morning of the 9th on his way to
Hannibal, No. Since that time moth
inc has been heard of him. His dis
appearance is very strange, as his al
fairs here are in good shape. He is an
attorney and carried on an abstract
Office and seemed to be prosperous.
His family affairs were wholly pleas
ant. He had with him ome money,
though not very much, and a watch
probably worth $50. Bis wife is q

his father was a colonel in the late
war. He was a member of the Legis-

quilted himself with credit. He has
been alderman of the city and for a
time was postmaster under Cleveland
during his first term. His disappear
ance cannot be accounted for.
