to her reward in heaven, where with
father, mother, brothers, sisters and
children gone before, she praises God
continually.
Though prevented for several years
past from attending regularly the public
services, on account OF i'll health, she
greatly enjoyed the services when able
to attend, and strove at all times to do
her Masters will. She patiently bore
with Christian resignation the affections
of life.
She was tender in feeling, loving and
affectionate in disposition, and won
friends everywhere. In the different
localities and neighborhoods where she
has lived, many, hearing of her death,
will think of the kind neighbor and
friend they will see no more on earth.
Her last hours were filled with Chris.

ones of the home, she gave loving words
OF counsel.

of the last day.

which would tend to support the state ments Of Edwards in this regard. Nor Is there any evidence in support of the statement that either of the Messrs. Havemeyer had an interview with President Cleveland on a yacht in the summer of 1892 or of 1893 in regard to the sugar interests of the Hawaiian Islands or any other sugar interests. or the policy of the administration in regard 10 them. "on the contrary t has been affirmatively shown" they say. that the statement is untrue ns to any such interview having oc- ctrrcd." #.n
 The committee says. 1t Is shown by the evidence that one or more officers of the Sugar Trust were in Washing ton and that they saw several senators. generally those representing states in which rehneries were located, with the view Of influencing legislation. but these men deny the use of any im- proper means to that end. Both the members of the trust and of the finance committeee denied that any meeting took place between them at the capitol or elsewhere as was stated In the "Hol- land" letter to have taken place and there Is no evidence in support Of the statements in this regard. ..'
 The committee also unite in saying that no evidence has been adduced tending to show improper conduct on the part of those gagged in the fram- Ing of the sugar schedule in the tariff bill. though, perhaps. outside the scope of the duty imposed upon your commit tee. they have occasion to strongly deprecate the importantly and pressure to which congress and its members are subjected by the representatives of great industrial combinations, whose enormous wealth tends to suggest un- due influence and to create in the pub lie mind demoralizing belief In the existence of corrupt politics."

Encouraging Reports Prom tho Corn Belt
 Were Not Borne Out.

| Were Not Borne Out.
 New York. Aug. 2.-The stock mar ket was firm in the early trading on account Of more encouraging reports from the corn belt. which, however. were not borne out by late advices from that section. In addition London was more bullish on American securities. and bought moderately of It's favorltes. The foreigners. according to private nd- vices. were impressed with an idea that an early settlement of the tariff ques- ton was close at hand. Louisville and Nashville and the grangers led the early rise. Louisville and Nashville rose lh 10 1873. Rock Island < to 6t. The bears covered rather freely in these issues but when their orders had been executed the market drifted back into dullness. which has been Is chief char aoteristic of late.
 The tariff question, the gold exports and the alleged damage to the corn crop were the main topics of division. So far as the tariff is concerned ad- vices from Washington were Of con- fiicting nature. This Is reflected in American Sugar. which rose $ to lQ4%, then declined to l03%. rallied to lOl%. and finally sold off to lO2. The weak ness of the close was due to the selling of block of 5000 shares by a.broker who apparently had an order to sell re- gardless of price. At least II so ap- peared to the other brokers in the sugar crowd. The drive at the stock, for the decline was so construed. had no spec ial influence on the general list.
 The rise of the price of corn late in the day was accepted as meaning that the early reports of improved crop con- ditions were exaggerations. and the bears who had covered their shorts in the grangers on the strength of these advices put out new fresh lines As a result there was & recession of M to l per cent. in Rock Island and Burlington and Quincy. At the close, however, there was slight recovery, and the market left off irregular. Net changes show losses of # to 2A per cent. Amer ican Sugar leading. St. Paul, Louis vile and Nashville and Erie gained < to < per cent.
 The bond market was weak. The sales were $5Ss,000.

Senators and Other Implicated Persons
 Generally Exonereted.

Gen6fAuy ExOn0r0teO.
 Washington, Aug. 2.-Senator Gray chairman of the sugar Investigating committee, presented, the report of the committee to- the senate to-day and asked that the committee be discharged The main report is signed by all the senators of the committee, but Senator Lodge and Davis present a supplement tai report and Senator Allen also pre- scnts his own views on some features of the case.
 The, report, which has the approval of the full committee, reoites the causes which led up to the invesit- eation and quotes the article from the Philadelphia Press on which the charges against senators were based. It also recites the facts which have been published already as to the re- fusal of the correspondent, Edwards. to answer queries put up by the com mittee.
 Secretary Carlisle is exonerated, and the parts of the article refecting on him are declared to be without founda- tion, except that 1t Is a fact. accord ing to Secretary Carlisle's testimony, that he did, at the request of Senator Jones of the finance committee. draft an amendment to tle sugar schedule a copy of which, as described by MT. Carlisle, Is attached as at, exhibit to the testimony. The conduct of Mr. Edwards, says the.report, in publishing specific charges against public men without his personal knowledge. calls kok AAS The committee also says: |.
 There has been no testimony present ed before your conmittee, and your committee has beer, unable to discover any tending to show that the sugar schedule was made up, as It then stood in the proposed tariff bill. in con- sideration of large, or any, sums of money paid for s-4eanspaigH purposes Of the democratic party. No witness has testified before your committee that such was the fact and all, the demo- cratic members of the finance commit tee and all the senators whose names have been mentioned in the public press as especially interested in pro- tecting the sugar, rehning industries, or in whose states sugar refineries sx- isted have under oath denied that such was the truth. .or that they had any knowledge pr inflammation as to any sums Of money laEge or otherwise having been paid for campaign pur- poses by those connactsd with 1t, or by anybody, as q consideration for favorable treatment of itss interests by said party.

 The conimittee also reports the sub stance of the testimony Of the sugar refiners asserting that thsir campaign contributions were inade only to the local committees. and not fop the pur- pose of influencing national campaigns, or for the purpose Of t0curtns or de feating national isa31iAtson.

Judge Barker of the court below, who
refused an injunction to prevent nuns
from teaching in the public schools
dressed in the garb OF their order. JUS
ucc Dean afiirms Judge Barker's de-
cision. In his opinion, which is very
lengthy. he says:
''In this case the school board CON-
mitted no unlawful act in selecting
these Catholic women as teachers be-
cause by moral character and certified
attninments they were qualified and
their religion did not disqualify.
'The dress is but the announcement
