AN AWFUL CONFESSION.
A Murderer Says He wept While His Vic.
 tim Prayed.

Murderer Says He Wept While His Vic.
 tim Prayed.
 Jose Ebanks, who is under sentence to be hanged June 19 for the murder of Mrs Harriet Stiles and her aged father, John D. Borden, near Oceanside, Colo, on Sept. 10 last, has made full con- fession of his crime. In the presence of Assistant District Attorney Uttley, Sheriff Jennings, Deputy Sheriff Fred Jennings and stenographer Ebanks re- lated the story of the murders, which was both pathetic and revolting.
 He told of his journey down the rail way track near the mussel beds, of his picking up an orange by the wayside and eating it. The fruit made him ill and, spying tent near the railway, he visited it in quest of medicine. Borden and Mrs. Stiles greeted him, and the former promised to find the wayfarer something to relieve hifh. The old man observed the muzzle Of a revolver pro- truding from a sack carried by Ebanks, and he made motion as if to,secure his own gun. Ebanks sur1nised that Borden was going to attack him and blindly fired at the old man. who fell to the ground without a moaIE Mrs. Stiles asked Ebanks why he had shot him, and informed him that Borden was unarmed and had no hostile intentions. &
 Realizing his predicament the mur- derer bade Mrs. Stiles kneel and pray, telling her that though life was sweet to both he preferred liberty to hanging, and so she must die to insure his safety. ''She knelt by the cot" continued Ebanks, land I wept while she prayed. l told her l did not want to kill her, but it was my only refuge When she finished praying. she arose from her knees and faced me without saying a word. Closing my eyes, shot her where, do not know. The first bullet did not kill her, and I fired a second time. After satisfying myself that Bor- den had no gun, walked to the door of the tent and made three attempts to shoot myself, but the shells would not explode. I then noticed whae I thought was q movement of the old man S body, and to make sure I shot once more. Re- turning to the railway track I tried to shoot myself again but could not pull the trigger, so threw my gun away. !" Exchange

A Natural Tendency.

It will be observed that as the number of free silver victories in state conyen- tions grows the tone of the market be- comes weaker and more uncertain.
 Down goes cotton.
 Down goes wheat
 Down go stocks.
 All the markets are dull. Capital is shy and demand decreases.
 The silyerites tell us that their scheme wiil boom prices, but as their confidence in the success of that scheme grows prices fall. They are making an assault upon the integrity of the currency, and the result is natural Atlanta Journal
 An Item For Fortune Hunters.
 An enterpising contemporary has fig tually worth her weight in gold 136 times over.
 Miss Collins is great grand daughter of old Commodore Vanderbilt and is the ward of the one and only Chauncey Depew.
 The bulk of her money was inherited from her grandmother, Mrs. Nevin, who died in Paris recently.
 Such. an advertisement as this ought to bring over a shipload of impecunious titled foreigners to sue for Miss Collins hand this summer, but am inclined to believe that the voyage would do them little good.
 Miss Collins is very sensible wom- an and can spot a fortune hunter as far as she can see him. m.-Eew York Re- corder.
