A letter from Ex Sheriff Wade, under
date of Winona, Jan. II, gives some in
teresting details concerning the killing of
Iron Thunder
To the Editor of the Record A deaf
mute Indian murdered one of Major Nc
Laughlin's most reliable police last Mon
day. He went into the house where the
policeman, Iron Thunder, lived, and
with an ak inflicted deep and ugly
wound on the head, which must have
caused instant death. No one seems to
know of any trouble between the two In
dians, or of any reason why the deed was
committed. A few hours later, when two
Indian policemen went to arrest the MUIR
derer, he had armed himself with pitch.
fork and seemed ready and anxious to
clean out the whole agency police force.
One Of the police attracted his attention
for an instant. when the other struck him
q blow with his revolver, from the effects
of which he died in short time. Iron
Thunder is the Indian policeman who
broke through the hostile lines the night
of the Sitting Bull fight and carried the
news Of the Sight to the soldiers. He rode
one of Sitting Bulls horses, and the ride
he made was very speedy and important
achievement. He was brave, reliable, and
friend to the whites. He was buried TO-
day in the Catholic cemetery at Standing
Rock, ana no funeral since that of the
police who were killed in the Sitting Ball
fight has called out such large attend.

ON HIS WAY TO TRIAL
Corey Stepped Into a Drug Store and Took
a Dose of Poison.

Rockland, February 2.-"D.S. Harper
of Temple street, Boston," but who
subsequently proved to be one Samuel D.
Corey, attempted suicide at the Knox
county court house this forenoon by
swallowing three corrosive sublimate
pills.
Corey was arrested here this forenoon
by Sheriff Gray charged with skipping a
board bill at Ca mden. He had been at
work on the Camden opera house, board
ing the while with Mrs. Wetherbee, a
lodging house keeper.
Shortly after his arrest Corey asked the
sheriff's permission to visit drug
store, alleging that he wanted sticking
plaster. The permission was given, and
after remaining rather a long while,
Corey came out of the store and slgnlfied
his readiness to accompany Sheriff Gray
and Deputy Sheriff Duffy, who were to
take him to Camde for trial.
In few moments he complained of
being i'll. and upon reaching the court
house sank unconscious in heap. The
alarmed officers hastily summoned
physicians and, to confirm their sus-
picions, opened letter which Corey had
left in their care, saying that it was to
be delivered if anything happened. The
letter contained several banknotes and
was addressed to a young woman well
known about town. Il shall be dead
when you get this" the note said.
Prompt measures were taken, however,
ana the man may yet live.

A RUNAWAY IN BOSTON.
Several Persons Seriously Hurt and
Many Knocked Down.

Boston, February "A horse driven
by Dr. Campbell of Dorchester ran away
on fremont street about 5 this afternoon.
The doctor was thrown out of the sleigh
and that vehicle smashed. The horse
having freed himself from the sleigh,
dashed onto the sidewalk near Hamilton
place, running along the pavement and
knocking down people until he reached
Winter street, where he was stopped by
several men. Mrs. Mary Cannon of Mar
garet street, had rib fractured and re-
ceived internal injuries. She was taken
to the city hospital. Mrs. Wallace r.
Dexter of Brookline and Mrs. E. A. Lam

jured. All were taken home in carriagr

THE WORLD OF TRADE.
Continued Uncertainty Concerning Finan.
cial and Tariff Legislation.

New York, February 2.-Bradstreets
tomorrow will say: "The success of the
government bond issue is regarded with
qualified satisfaction, and the effect on
either speculation or investment is mere
ly sentimental. The market is still
waiting for the end of the uncertainty
about financial and tariff legislation,
though values are apparently sustained
by feeling that the depression has run
it's course, and that improvement in
business and railroad affairs will soon
develop. The absence of serious manipu-
lative bear attacks on prices is no less
marked than the suspension of public or
European purchases of securities. Inter
views with bankers at New York, Troy,
Syracuse, Paterson, Cleveland, Chicago
and Nashville, show that the volume of
mercantile paper offering has increased,
though not to a large extent Providence
and Boston banks are buying paper from
other cities. AT such centres as Kansas
City, st. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburg,
Philadelphia. ST. Paul, Milwaukee and
Newark, there is no increase in the
volume of commercial paper offered. In
industrial lines, number of establish
ments are reopening, being more than
ten to one of the number reported shut
ting down. In fact there is reason to be-
lieve that hundreds of industrial estab-
lishm have begun work within a
week or two, although not ons full time
in all cases, of which no specific mention
has been made in print. Shipments of
shoes from New England has increased Z
or 8 per cent within the week, and the
extension of the time for the tariff to
take effect on wool and woolens has re-
suited in Boston's sales jumping from
two million pounds last week to four
million pounds this week. A larger
volume of trade is reported at Boston in
some lines, note brokers declaring that
trade has increased noticeably over De-
cember. The weeks exports of wheat,
both coasts of the United States and
Canada, -four included as wheat aggre-
gate 3, OS3, 900 bushels as compared with
3,123,0O0 bushels a year ago. Wheat
stocks here and in Canada are slightly
less than year ago, Is per cent larger
than two years ago and 100 per cent
larger than three years ago.
Bank clearings in fifty-eight cities IN
January aggregate $4 029, 900, 900, fifth
of one per cent more than in December,
1898, and 30 per cent more than in
September of that year in which month
the clearings touched the low water
mark. The clearings during December,
1892, and January, 1898. were the heaviest
for any two months on record. Compar-
ing last month S aggregate with January,
1893, shows decrease last month of 81
per cent. Three hundred and forty busi-
ness failures are reported throughout the
United States this week against 27l this
week a year ago.
