Mrs. Nobel H. Hastings. the wife sf
William Hastings. q clerk in the Tax
Office. who resides In q nat at ls7 Co
lumbus avenue. died suddenly ut as
o'clock this morning. undqr circum-
stances that support the suspicion that
she IL a victim Of foul play.
Mrs. Hastings was an attractive ws-
man twenty-eight years old. She was
married seven years ago, and had not
been in robust health Tor some TINA.
During the past year, she had been =
great sufferer from asthma. and subjsot
to attacks which would render her al
most insensible at any time and place.
Yesterday afternoon. at 2 o'clock. she
left her nat informing some neishbors
that she was going to Alexander's store
in Sixth avenue. to buy some shoes,
then to Macy's to make a few purchases
for her husband.
She took with her 81 in q pocketbool.
which she carried in her hand. She
said she would be back at 6 o'clock.
She wore a white sailor straw hat.
with a black band, n pink waist, with
fine stripes. black silk ribbon belt.
without buckle. a black serge skirt and
black oxford ties, WITH patent leather
tips.
Her pocketbook was Of black morocco
leather. without a clasp, and her UNI
breila of black silk, with q crooked apple
wood handle. tipped with small slvls

She did not return at the appointed
time. and as the evening passed and e

up the stairs to their nat on the nrst
floor.
There he laid her upon a lounge ana
discovered that she had, tightly clutched
one In each hand. her pocketbook stili
containing 1915 and her umbrella with
the handle in two pieces.
Mrs. Hastings seemed to be suffering
greatly. but refused to allow her hus-
band to go for doctor, and. as he had
often seen her pass through apparently
similar attacks, he thought that the
present one would subside. He busted
himself questioning her as to where she
had been and what had happened TO
her.
He could get nothing Ineligible from
her.
Whenever he questioned her she an.
swered repeatedly:
Don't ask me. I'll tell you sitter
awhile"
Mr.. Hastings declares that she gave
no evidence Of having been drinking.
About $50 A. NJ. she complained Of
feeling worse. and rising from the sofa

she leaned heavily.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 13.-The trunk
of President Whipple of the broken
Crawford Banking Company, of Craw-
ford has been found at Cheyenne,
Wyo. 1t is thought to contain S., 200
worth of jewelry, bought just before
he absconded. 1t seems certain that
Whipple intended escaping to Chey-
enne, where he has wealthy uncle,
but the officers were watching Chey-
enne too closely. The trunk will be
brought back to Crawford. Those who
have Investigated the affairs of the
bank say that there is a sensation in
store which will expose many promi-
nent people in Dawes county as aiding
Whipple to escape.

be very glad if you would give NE
some general ideas as to the manner
of operating this rebate business.
"Wcll, the rebate system was put in
force in the summer of 1888 for the
purpose of retaining business and al
lowing the wholesale merchant n
greater margin of profit OH their
business than they would otherwise
have had"
How could the distilling company
afford to pay this rebate voucher2"
1.-The company having control of
the production of spirits and spirit
goods could make the market, tempor-
arily, what they saw fit. The day
the vouchers took effect the market
was, by agreement, put up seven cents
and the purchaser paid the seven
cents advance at the time of securing
the goods, and received voucher pay
able in six months subject to condi-
ton printed on the voucher for the
seven cents per proof gallon from the
Distilling and Cattle Feeding Com
pany of Peoria.
'"This rebate system was discarded
on the 9Th of August last.
During the time that the rebate sys-
tenn was in operation there were a
great many wholesale merchants who
preferred to do their business upon a
cash basis, and if they SO desire could
secure their liquors from dealers who
were not members of the association.
From time to time wholesale deal
ers, and I might note some in this
State, asked for the privilege of buying
liquor upon cash basis without the
rebate voucher, and in some instances
it had to be done to retain trade. When
Governor Tillman saw us with refer
ence to our selling the State, and ap-
preciating that there would be a very
heavy business done, we were, of
course, anxious to sell him for the
State. Governor Tillman insisted
that the State did not want any rebate
vouchers, as it preferred to doits bust
ness upon as nearly a cash basis as
possible.
"We did not care to pay for liquors
sixty days after their purchase and
hold rebate vouchers that were not due
until six months after the purchase of
the goods. Moreover he insisted that
there was no rescn why the State
with its heavy business should be tied
down to doing its business with any
particular firm. We knew that there
were others who could supply the
South Caroline trade who were not
members of the association, and were
making the same class Of goods. With
this view, the entire case was present
ed to the association with the request
that the Mill Creek Company
be allowed to sell the State
of South Carolina without the rebate
vouchers, and the concession was
granted, and I can positively state
that Governor Tillman, Mr.. Traxler,
nor any one else, in any way, has
ever been entitled to or has ever re-
ceived a rebate voucher or the equival-
ent to it from or through the Mill
Creek Distilling Company"

Gagged In Columbus.

COLUMBIA. S. c., Dec. 12.-Yester-
day was doomsday in the United
States Court and the Barrett conspira-
tors got their sentences.
When court met yesterday morning
with Judge Brawley on the bench, At
torney Blythe for G. P. Barrett arose
to make motion for a new trial. Be-
fore he proceeded to argue the motion
District Attorney Murphy made the
point that Attorney Blythe had not
complied with rule 35 of the district
court, applying to motions for new
trial and that therefore nomotion could
be entertained. Judge Brawley said
that under strict construction of the
rule he would have to dismiss the mo-
ton, but taking all things into consid-
Grafton he would hear the motion.
The hearing was fixed for some later
day and will be heard in Charleston.
In the case against Jackson Counts,
ex-postmaster, Judge Brawley dis
missed the motion of Messrs. Aston &
Patton in arrest of judgment on the
ground of improper drawing of the
jury. Judge Brawley held that the ju,
ries were properly drawn. Mr.. Aston
gave notice of filing an exception to
the ruling of Judge Brawley and the
case will 60 up.
Judge Brawley then called on Jack
son Counts Ito stand up" and asking
him how long he had been in Jail, and
Counts replying nearly seven weeks,
Judge Brawley sentenced him to two
months imprisonment in Richland
county jail and the payment of a fine
of 500, for illegally disposing OF
stamps.
Judge Brawley then called upon
Chas. P. Barrett, J. Wesley Owens,
John r. Tillman, Robt. J. McElwraith,
Thomas J. Hanon and Clarence Lee to
stand up. Owens was at home sick in
bed. Tiflman is a fugitive, somewhere
in Texas. All but Tillman and Barrett
and two Others who are still fugitives,
Thompson and Hatcher, will likely be
pardoned by the President, having
turned States evidence.
Judge Brawley sentenced the men,
who were tried and convicted as fol,
lows:
Barrett, 19 months Imprisonment in
Columbus, o., penitentiary and a fine
of So, 500; Hanon, 6months, and atine
of 81, 200; McElrath, same; Lee, 3
months and fine Of 81 900.
