EXPORTS OF LIVE STOCK.


The report Of the Secretary Of Agri-
culture contains some interesting .nfor-
nation concerning our export trade in
. live stock. OF the exports of cattle from
the United states Great Britain has been
the only market to speak of. Hitherto
this country and Canada controlled the
/ English market, but recently Argentina
has entered actively into the compe,i-
ton. and Australia is also making a
lively effort to- secure a share Of this
profitable trade.
Referring TO the latest rep0r, Of the
Treasury Bureau Of Statistics it is
seen that in the nine months ended Sep
tember 80 last the exports Of cattle from
the United states amounted in value to
SIS. 1926. $50. Of which Sl9.O75.S91 was
shipped TO- Great Britain alone. In the
corresponding period last year the ship
ments of cattle 20 Great Britain
amounted i'm value to S2g.223,o95 in a
total expectation valued at S3139S,459
This heavy decline shows how large a
share the competitors of the United
States are gaining i'm this trade, since
British consumers are obliged to draw
more and more upon foreign markets
for their meat supplies.
As these returns of trade show, this
competition has but recently become
dangerous to- American shippers.
Australia has recently made an effort
TO export 1--we cattle TO England, but
without success. The steamer IS obliged
90 make the passage by Cape Horn in
order to escape the heat Of the Red Sea.
Thus the heavy cost to- the shippers for
feeding the cattle in a two months voy-
age has involved too great loss to en-
courage a repetition Of the experiment
But Australia in 1894 supplied $4,000
tons Of meat TO the London Central Mar
ke,. while the supply from the United
States amounted to 1000 tons.
During the nine months under review
the exports Of horses from the United
States nearly rebled IN number. but the
prices somewhat declined Although
nearly an these horses are sent to Great
Britain. investigation has shown that
many Of them are reshipped to other
parts Of Europe. In order to encourage
this important trade Secretary Morton
proposes to- establish a thorough inspec-
t.ou Of an horses intended for export.
The average value Of American horses
used largely i'm London for draught was
this year about S155 a head at ports Of
shipment.
TO the alarm.sts who have been la
mendng over the ruin of American sheep
growing through the wicked Democratic
tariff it viii be interesting to learn that
the exports Of sheep from the United
States increased in the nine months
ended September 80, 1885 to 349.S07
head from 162S94 head in the CORE
spending months of 1894 at nearly the
same prices. AS with the cattle and
horses. Great Britain is the principal
market for these exports of sheep. The
exports of wool from the United States
have increased to 3.S5G619 pounds i'm
the nine months of 1895 from 62zg6l
pounds i'm the corresponding period Of
1884,

SUICIDE FOLLOWS
Boy Reads TriIby and Then Kills
Himself


HARTFORD. CT. May 3.-Norton Reed
lies at the morgue here as a result of the
Trilby craze, having committed suicide
by taking arsenic while harboring the
hallucihation that he was under the hyp-
motto influence of Svengali, the bad man
of Du Maurier's novel.
Reed was 1S years of age and a son of
Mrs. Amos Pratt, who, as a widow, mar
ried wealthy shipbuilder of Essex, CT.
A year ago Reed came to this city and
entered the employ of Brown, Thompson
g. Co. as stenographer. He gave up this
place three weeks ago to become the
amanuensis of the Rev. Payson Ham
mond. the evangelist. Reed was fond of
literature. chiefly novels. When Trilby
came out he was enthusiastic and read
the volume until he became Trilby mad.
Mr.. Hammond heard groans i'll the
path in the rear of his house. and found
Reed lying on the floor OF the carriage
house. writhing in pain. physician
was called and asked him why he mad at
tempted the suicide. Reed replied: BE

me. | tried to sign this afternoon and
he would not let me. The only way l
can escape him is by dying, Do you
think he can hypnotize me after l am
dead?" He wanted TO know whether he
would see Trilby and Little Billee in
heaven. Soon after this he died.

MASHED POTATOES AND GLASS
Unwholesome Diet Of Young Man in San
Francisco

UnWhOIeSOme Diet OF q Young Man in San
Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-For the
first time in eight days William Hersin-
ger. a young man living at 621 Bush
street, slept yesterday. He had had a
narrow escape from death and suffered
intense agony. and all because he was in
discreet enough to eat mashed potatoes in
cheap restaurant on Ellis street. The
mashed potatoes contained some bits of
glass. Young Hersinger ate his unlucky
meal at noon on Wednesday, week ago.
He attempted to swallow mouthful of
potatoes without proper mas tication. and
felt something stick in his throat. He
sought a doctor, who found that the
throat had been badly cut by some for
eign substance. presumably glass. He
prescribed for the patient. who went to
bed. The next day the throat was vo-
lensly infiamed. The patient was unable
to swallow. and. in spite of the efforts of
two physicians. he grew worse. The un-
fortunate youths throat was enormously
swollen. Saturday night it seemed to be
wholly closed by Inflammation and the
doctors who were called thought they
would have to cut the patients throat
and insert a tube to enable him to breathe.
A poultice OF Colorado mud relieved the
inflammation slightly. and finally two
bags OF pus had formed in the throat and
broke, and the young man was relieved.
For the eight days of the struggle against
death lie had not slept. He may recover.

for the appontm OF committee to

suggestion was generally received with
favor, and leading mem bers expressed the
opinion that the principle advocated by
General Rollins will receive the indorse-

SOUTH ACTON. Mass, May 3.-Three
mills of the American Powder company
were blown up this morning. one after
the other, in fifteen minutes. Five per-
sons are believed to have been killed.
The woods close by the mills were set OH
fire and burned fiercely. threatening the
biggest storehouse of the company, con-
tanning 20, 600 pounds OF powder and pre-
venting the saving of the property. Fifty
men were employed in the mills. After

San Bernardino Officers Think That Convict
Barnes Murdered His Pal and Part Of
the Plunder Is Buried

SAN BERNARDINO, Call. May B.
Charming B. Barnes. who with one hyatt
robbed the Ontario State bank of $4,000 a
San Quentin for term OF six years. The
officers now suspect him on circumstan-
tial evidence OF having killed Hyatt, his
partner in crime. ft-
While Barnes was confined in Jail here
awaiting trial he formed plan of escape
in conjunction with friends on the outside.
Failing in this he pleaded guilty and re-
fused to defend his case in court. He en-
listed DIR. Frost an1 other prominent citi-
zens in his behalf to secure light SEN
tence. 1t is now supposed he did this to
escape discovery of the crime of murder
ing his pal. After securing the booty from
the bank they drove to Rincon hills, and
there left their team and hid in the
mountains. Barnes stated that he repeated
ly detected Hyatt in the act of raising a
rock to beat out his brains, and only
pro ected himself by compelling Hyatt to
go on before him at the point OF re-
volver. The next morning they divided
the money and took train to Los An
geles.
From that day to this no trace Of Hyatt
has been found.
the officer who took Barnes to San
Quentin detected him in conversation
with two toughs on the journey there.
Barnes movements were SO suspicious on
several occasions on the way that the
officer took extra precautions to prevent
his escape. He is rot now as penitent a
man as he appeared to be when pleading
with the court for a light sentence.
His story Of Hyatt's movements are
considered fishy, and it is supposed that
the balance OF the banks money is now
somewhere in the Chino hills, known
only to Barnes. The officers believe the
body of Hyatt may yet ne found to tell
the story of q double crime.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-'If Mr..

with Senator Fairs money, whether in

Garrett McEnerney, ''it is not only
susceptible of proof that he did so with
Fairs orders and knowledge, but suscept
ible of absolute demonstration.
Angus was the late Mr.. Fairs private
secretary. and Mr.. McEncrney Is of coun-
sci in the Fair will case. Mr.. McEnerney
declined to be interviewed further. This
puts at rest the story that Angus and his
associate. Louis Breese, conspired with

deal with the dead senator's money. 1t
also taps on the head the rumors that
Smith. the bookkeeper for the brokers'
firm, who disappeared last Sunday. was
made away with to hide forever secrets
relating to the deal.
1t is said that Smith has made state
ments to some of his relatives concerning
the transactions between Fair and Nc
Glautin & Co., and that unless his de-
parture is accounted for soon they will
make public what the bookkeeper said.
All the attorneys engaged in the litiga-
