spected citizens of that place, was

Coroner Steely Immediately
impanelled jury and verdict
was rendered that the deceased
came to his death by pistol
shot fred by his own hands,
while perfectly sane.
John Cannon was % years old.
He was son of Bishop Carl j.
Cannon, of the Latter Day Saints
in that city, and was employed
as clerk in the Blythe e. Fargo
company's store, which position
he had held for several years.
He had lived here from boy
hood and knew almost every one
and was universally liked. He
left two letters of explanation,
one to his father of private ma
ture and one to whom it might
concern, saying he was tired of
life and that it would not be nee
essary to hold an inquest over
his remains, and bidding all good
bye.
He was engaged to be married
to some young lady at Malad
and had purchased the house
.lold furniture of E. B. Hamil-
ton; but, as his relatives were
known to be against the match,
| it had been kept almost pro
found secret. This morning his
father kindly advised him tc
break off the engagement, or al
least to wait short length OF
time, hoping he might change
lis opinion, and it is presumed
he brooded over the matter and
determined to end his life

An 1nteare.tlilp,,,a old rimepiece.

The Winsted Herald says: The Rev. John DePeu, pastor of the Congrega- tional church of this place, has during his ten years passionate here been the temporary possessor of an old watch which has a history worth recording. It is temporary heirloom long ago bequeathed to-, the successive settled ministers of the Norfolk church, to be retained by them during their pastoral service with it.
 We cannot give the full history of the watch-includfhg its age, etc., but it is perhaps enough to say that it is a fine specimen of workmanship, doubtless one of tte best of its period. It is what is known as g. "repeater,"- a watch that will strike the hour and minute at any time of night or day. and consequently one which was much prized in the long-ago, before luclfer matches came into use or one could in- stantly illuminate a mansion from basement to atticsby touching an cleo! trio push buttoneeS
 How much more than a hundred years old it is we cannot tell, but it has Norfolk record since 1792, when 1t was presented to the Rev. A. R. Robbins, the first pastor of the church grandfather of Honorable Robbins Battell. Attached to the watch is a flat gold key one inch square, of the regular Phi Beta Kappa pattern, on which is the following inscription:
 Richard Robbins came to Am, Mass. about 1889. N. Robbins Ob. 1719 Az 70. N. R. jr. Ob. 1741 Az 70. Rev. P. R. Ob 17S1 72. Rev. A. R. R. Ob. 1913. Az 7S.
 Rev. p. R. was Philemon Robbins the hero of one of Rose Terry Cooke's novels. "Steadeast." and Rev. A. R. R. was Ammi Ruhamah Robbins, before referred to as Nerfolk's first pastor. On the reverse side of the key is this inscriptions:
 This watch was presented by James Watson, Esq, of N. Y. to the Rev. Am- mi R. Robbins in 1792, and by him be- oueathed to his son, the Rev. Thomas Robbins. D. D.. and beaueated by Dr. Robbins with chain and key to the suc-

The delegates met at Il o'clock this morning and remained in session until 1:so this afternoon. when they adjourned to meet at the call of the president at about the time the National league and the American Association of Professional Baseball Clubs hold thsir annual spring meet ings, .f
 All the clubs were represented when tho meeting was called ,tnssyder. Tie question of nlpng the circuit was the first matter considered. The Bridge port.

There Was . Rush to Cover short Con-
 tracts at the Opening.

erncs ht thc opening.
 New York, Dec. 6.--The action of the American Sugar Refining company d. rectors at the meeting yesterday In declaring the reguar dividend on the common stock, notwithstanding the gloomy statements of the president of the company and the condition of the refining industry led to rush to cover short contracts at the opening of busi- ness this morning. The stock, which closed at SsN, opened at S9h&9O, 6,000 shares having changed hands almost instantaneously with the drop of the chairman's gavel. The advance led to heavy sales and the pressure of long stock finally forced the price back to S6%@S6N. This selling was based on the idea that the statements to be given out by the insiders as to the workings of the Wilson tariff law would be of decidedly bearish char acter. The transactions in the stock aggregated 155,200 shares, making the total sales thus far this week 4S4.O0O shares.
 Reading was weaker and declined 1 to AZ. The bonds fell 1s to IFS per cent. Rumors were current to the ef- feet that the Earle-O Olcott cobination had run against a snag. This, how ever, was denied by Philadelphia people interested in the scheme. The Rice nc- fjnn ooIla1 trar Nf the security holders in this city next week. The Earle-Olcott committee is scheduled to meet here tomorrow.
 Chicago Gas was pressed for sale and dropped a point to TIA. Whiskey and Lead were stronger than of late, ris- ing to 9A and 39h respectively. The grangers met with better support and on a more active business advanced from + to 1A per cent. The belief Is gaining ground that congress will pass some sort of an amendment to the in- terstate commerce law permitting pool ing. Pittsburg and Western preferred and Laclede Gas were benefited by statements of earnings. both companies showing daily increases in receipts as compared with the corresponding period last year. Pittsburg and Western pre- ferred rose to 3211s bid and Laclede Gas to 24A.
 The withdrawals of gold from the treasury department ana the reports of shipments by Saturdays European steamers had no influence. So far as exports are concerned it can be said that the leading bankers do not know themselves whether shipments will be made or not this week. The market closed from # to % per cent. higher on the day. Sugar lost 2h per cent, Lake Shore 1, Bay State Gas 1A. Ch- cago Gas % and Reading k. Consoli- dated Gas gained 1h per cent.
 The bond market was active and strong. Sales were s1,573,0O0.

Voted, That when said statements are completed that copies of the same be given to the press for public informa- tion. ..
 Town Counsel Pardee took the floor and said that all moneys received and all moneys expended were reported. The form of the town agents report had been followed for years and he saw no reason why the report should not be accepted, and then if the district want ed supplementary report he was will- ing that 1t should be given. He be- iieved that the report should be ac- cepted, and he made a motion to that effect.
 James H! Macdonald, chairman of the republican town committee, spoke in favor Of the resolution, and he was followedsby Anthony Carroll, who want ed a full investigation, but what he wanted was no class distinction. If there was to be an investigation he wanted the atfairs of the city investi- gated as we'll but he had found out that those gentlemen who wanted to investigate the town were not anxious to investigate further. He thought. therefore, that the proposed resolution was a class distinction. At this point the question was called for, and sub- sequently an amendment was tackled on that the report be accepted A di, vision of the house was called for on the amendment and resulted in S7 vot- ing fCr the acceptance and e2 against the amendment being adopted, and the report was accepted.
