A Mother Murdered by Her Son Who Com
nits Suicide.
NEW YORK, May 17.-Lena Sansmul-
Ter, aged 90, and her son Charles, aged
so, were found dead last night in their
rooms in a tenement house in East
Twelfth street, their Threats cut from
ear to ear and their heads almost sew
cred from the bodies A blood-stained
razor on the floor told the story
of murder and suicide. The old
lady was in her night dress and
her position indicated that the
son had taken hold of her head with
his left hand as he used the razor with
his right. AS he lay on the floor, the
weapon was still in his hand. He had
evidently cut his own throat instantly
after killing his mother. On a table
were found IL cents, and in box S4.71.
A bank book indicated that there was
S16 to the sons credit. He had been
out of work for some time, and it is
supposed fear of poverty prompted the
tragedy.

lows and matted rose bushes between
the pickets- At the front the big white
gates were fastened with a paddock,
and the steps that usually served to
scale the fence had been carried away
to be painted in order to present q
more creditabie appearance at the cele-
bration.
As the children stood wondering how
they could most easily get in a neat
little old lady came round the corner
of the churchyard and joined them.
She stopped and looked when she saw
the steps were gone. The children
noticed she carried a crutch and was
lame.
''How can get in?" she asked, ap.
pealingly.
The children looked at her and then
at one another.
''Oh, say. Lu," Fred began, suddenly,

someSloose pockets over on the other
side? Maybe can take them out, and
| we can all get through in that way"
Come on; let's see" And Lulu and
Fred went to examine the fence.
The old lady sat down on the grass
and smiled at Mollie and Nellie.
'I'm very tired, children she said
alphabetically. She held little bunch
of lilacs and syringas, which she laid
down in her lap.

Chicago Live Stock.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Only 500 head of
native cattle arrived and trade was al
most at standstll. The bulk of the
supply consisted OF 1000 Texans, nearly
all Of which went direct to slaughter
ers. The demand was very Indifferent
FOR the few Texans on sale, and BUYERS
bid point lower all around. The few
small sales were made at 50. 35@2. IS for
steers, and calves around 1878 There
was no trade of Importance in native
steers. few lots of cheap beef steers
went to local butchers around So. 80, and
cows and mixed lots were cleared
chiefly at 81. 50@2.6G. Liberal receipts
were generally predicted for Monday.
There was slump of 15925c in prices
FOR all grades of hogs today. The 10, 900
about 5000 head proved too great
burden for the market. BUYERS were
not eager for trade at the decline. and
business dragged from start to finish,
the most unsatisfactory market in sew
eral weeks. Fancy 266-lb hogs sold ND
to $3.50. but there were very few sales
above 1928. Best light sorts could be
bought at sc, and inferior grades of
light aroud SIS. Most of the useful pack
ing hogs were bought at S5.7505. 80, and
plain lots around $500. About 5000
head went over unsold, the market clos
Ing weak and fiat at the big decline.
In sheep less than 1000 head arrived
for today's market. There were many
lots of stale stock scattered about the
pens, but these met with no demands,
and were nearly all left unsoid. The
only sale OF Importance was that of $50
choice mixed Montana feeders ayerag-
ing 90 pounds, which were taken out by
an Ohio feeder at $2.7O A few small
sales of thin mixed stuff were made at
Sl.2592. Late sales of good mutton
stock have been chiefly at g. 6O(02. 80,
with few extra quality at So 10. Best
lambs are quotable at S3.75604, and fair
to good grades at IS. 20@3. So.
