STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 9.-During the
greater part of the day operators were
waiting for the result of the annual
meeting of the United States Cordage
and American Sugar companies, and as
o result speculation was at very low
ebb. The conditions, however, were
firm, Notwithstanding the strength of
sterling exchange and the almost unan-
imous belief that large amounts OF
gold will be exported by Saturdays
European steamers. When the decision
bill became known, however, more con-
fidence was displayed and q sharp ad-
vance followed. The market for the
first time in weeks showed some signs
of life and operators covered short con-
tracts and were disposed to buy for the
long account. The American Sugar
and United States Cordage meetings
developed little of Importance and had
no influence on the market. The an
thracite coalers were strengthened by
the decision of the Delaware and Hud-
son directors to maintain it's regular
dividend rate of per cent. for the year.
The bulk of business was in the indus
trial issues, but the railroad group
while quiet ruled firmer than Of late.
Total sales were 122,S75 shares, of which
7l,5OO shares were in the industrials.
Net changes show-gains of u to 2ss per
cent, American Sugar leading.

tive stocks of the New York stock mar

FOR A CHINAMAN'S LOVE,
Millionaire Hip Lungs Wife Killed Hel
Rival.

RIVAL.
By the United Press.
Chicago, Jan. S.-Minnie Myers, wife
of Hip Lung, the millionaire Chinaman,
is locked up at the Harrison Street Po-
lice station on a charge of murder.
Emma Johnson now lies dead at Jack
sons undertaking house, 2506 State
street, and it was owing to a personal
request made by the coroner to the
police officials that the wife of the
Mogul Chinaman was taken into Gus
tody charged with the woman's death.
The encounter between the two women,
who We're rivals for Hip Lungs affec-
tions, occurred last April. Miss Myers
weapon was a two-edged knife and its
execution was deadly. In q minute or
two it had cut long gashes in Miss
Johnsons shoulders, arms, neck and
breast, and the woman fell to the pave
ment, faintng from sheer loss OF blood.
Minnie Myers escaped with few
scratches. After a month or two Hip
Lung married the victorious duelist
and the matter was generally forgotten.
Miss Johnson never got well. She raj
lied and for months has been able to
go about carefully as an invalid. A
week ago blood poisoning set in, result
ing in her death. The coroner at once
ordered the arrest of Mrs. Hip Lung
(nee Minnie Myers) and she was taken
into custody.

BURGLARS SECURE $4,000.
After Ransackins Bank Vault They
Close the Door and Destroy the Lock.
By the United Press

Defiance, o., Jan 9.-The Merchants
National bank of this city was broken
into by burglars last Monday evening
and about $4,000 secured. The burg
lars entered the bank, opened the com
bination of the vault and then, with
either powder or dynamite, blew the
small safe inside the vault to pieces.
After securing everything Of value, the
burglars closed the doors OF the vault
and battered the lock so that the bank
officials could not get it open the neNt
day.
The bank people did not suspect amy
thing wrong, but thought the lock was
out of order and sent to Cincinnati for
an expert. He arrived today, and at
l o'clock opened the safe, when the true
condition of affairs became known.

A Bad State for Footnads

There have been an unwonted number OF
stories of attempted highway robbery in
Maine of late, but a reception such as was
given one of those fellows in Lincoln
County is likely to have discoura ging eff
feet on these disciples OF Jack Sheppard
A young man, who lives at Bunker Hill
tsignificant Dame) was going home from
his work one evening, when a man Step
ped from behind the bushes by the side
of the road and demanded his money.
On replying that he had no money the
man said be had heard 1t Jingle, and seized
the youth by the throat. But the young
man broke away and proceeded to kick
the man over the fence, after which he
rushed home. got his gun and, returning,
fired two shots at the man. which sent
him off at lively gait, with a howl that
gave evidence that he was either hurt
or badly frightened.
Alvah Powers, of Boston, formerly of
Bowdoinham. and lately visiting in that
town. also taught a tramp a lesson lately.
Powers had just come from Boston, bring
ing $500 in cash. and left the train near
Haward's Crossing to walk to his fathers.
He had gone but a short distance, when a
tramp sprang from the roadside. pointed
a pistol at Powers head and demanded
his money.
But instead of cash he got blow which
sent his revolver spinning, followed by
another on the side of the head which.
knocked him down, and then, to make a
lasting impression. Powers kicked, jump
ed on and choked the tramp till he was
thoroughly cowed and then threw him in
to the ditch and left him. A few more such
incidents and the highwa yman's business
in Maine will go into permanent decline.

THAT TILLMAN HEAVEN.

From an outside point of view South
Carolina is TO be in future sort of a
Tillmanite heaven, inasmuch as the political
convention for revising the State Consti-
tuition so that it is-not ouly q political
curiosity. but social renovator guaranteed
to remove everything but angels wings
and songs of everlasting joy. There will
be no legal divorces in that deleciable
State. The abused wife will suffer mar
tyrdom in silence and without hope of re
lief unless she administers dose of strych-
nine, and the wronged husband can only
obtain satisfaction by shooting the de-
stroyer of his domestic bliss. Divorces can
be had, but only at the expense of life.
Ali discussions on the liquor question will
be settled around the corner OF in some
convenient barn. The dispensary system
will be continued and operated by indi-
viduals licensed by the State, but they
will not be permitted to sell in quantities
less than a half pint, which must not be
consumed on the premises. This will be %
great economy to State barkeepers, mas
much as there will be no free lunches or
coffee berries needed to disguise the breath
of the bibulants, nor will towels be necessary
to the exchange of saiiyial greetings.
The richest jewel, however, in the crown
of glory each South CaroliniaD is expected
to wear is the abolition of the negro vote.
Instead of being troubled at the polls with
gentlemen of color, the sagacious leader
of the convention has fixed the constitution
so that they will stay at home and work.
Nor win they be permitted to hold office
and pass upon the affairs of their political
masters, or to, in any way, interfere with
the legislative and executive departments
of State. In short, colored brethren viii
be shut out of the Tillman heaven except
in the capacity of servants, but if they
are real good and don't get obstreperous
theyma y occasionally thumb Tillman book
of praise.

MORE BEEF AT HIGHER PRICES.

MORE BEEF AL BIG HER PRICES.
The opening of the American ports Of
San Diego, Brownsville, FL Paso, Wogolis,
Eagle Pass, ard the SUPPORT of Laredo for
the Introduction of Mexican lean cattle into
this country may benefit farmers by furnish
ing an additional demand for corn but it
viii not in the least cheaper the price of
beef The beef trust has too strong hold
on the purchasing and selling markets TO
allow any importation of cattle to affect
prices, and consumers may expect to pay
more for their beefdurinG the W inter months
than it is now costing them.
Secretary Morton says that if 10000
lean cattle are admitted free of duty under
the order the corn used to fit them for the
abattoir viii also fatten 4O, 600 hogs His
argument is this:
I'm feeding cattle corn it is also nee
esSary to feed double the number of hogs.
The arrangement is carried on with two
enclosures; in one is kept, say, thousand
head of cattle; in the other, two thousand
head of hogs. To thoroughly feed out corr
you need twice as many hogs as there are
are head of cattle. You never feed the
hogs any original corn: it is all fed first
to the cattle. The cattle, however, waste
so much in their feeding, shell off so
never to be picked up by them, that you
need the hogs to come after the cattle
and clean up VIVA they waste. 1t is sort
OF second table affair. Cattle eat at the
first table, the hogs at the second, which is
pretty good table for a hog under all
circumstances
Beef ranks as one of the few great noces-
saries. 1t enters into the daily consump-
ton of nearly every household, and is the
last thing that should be controlled by a
trust. For that reason the failure of the
admins tration to promptly investigate
and prosecute the beef combine is es-
pecially aggravating. If the anti
law is iroperative and fails to carry out
the purpose for which it was enacted that
fact should be made known as soon as pos
sible, and the only way to establish it is
10 test the law i'll the courts
With the exception of the recent order
of the Attorney General to investigate the
beef trust no effort has been made to prose

The doors of the halls of justice stand ajar
il is doubtful if any of the trusts will walk
into court and plead guilty.
The country needs President and an
Attorney General with the conscience and
the courage to ferret these combines out

cutions, and then if the law proves a failure
the public will know that these officials

JAMES CREEK CANAL OUTRAGE.

No word other than Outrage" properly
describes the wrong perpetrated upon the
people of South Washington by the con-
tinuance of that disease and death-dealing
open sewer, euphemis tically called the
James Creek canal. If there was any time
in the dim, distant past when tn eappellation
OF canal" could be justly applied, it has
passed out of the memory of man, at least
of the present generation. II has been -or
decades the nasty, Shiny, filthy, miasmatic
agglomeration of sewage that it now is,
poisoning the atmosphere of q whole section
of the city and spreading disease among
the residents.
This is not the only offense chargeable
to the James Creek canal. 1t is veritable
death trap. for in its Shiny depths many
an unfortunate being has found a horrible
death. Hardly a year goes by but some
befuddled wanderer or some other person
unaware of it's dangerous proximity, has
walked over its unprotected banks and been
slffocated in its mire. The bodies of some
of these poor victims have been recovered;
untold others rest at the bottom of that cess
pool.
James Creek canal fulrills the same office
for South Washington, only in more aggra-
vateddegree, thatold Tiber Creek performed
