GOLD GOES; BONDS WILL COME.

Enormous Exports of the Yellow Metal
Cause slump !" Values of Stocks-An-
other Bond Is ne Expected-Banks To
the Rescue OF ihs Gold Reserve.
New YORK, July 2L-The sum of
So, $50, 900 in gold was withdrawn from
the sub-treasury yesterday. OF this
amount SS,OSO,o00, consisting of 81, 4S0,-
900 in coin and 81, $50, 600 in bars, is for
export to Europe on to-day's steamers.
The remaining $780, taken by Cana
dian bankers, was for use here.
Extensive covering of short contracts
steadied the stock market at intervals
late in the day, but the feeble rallies
invariably brought offerings of long
stocks and near o'clock prices in some
cases were the lowest in years. The
large engagements of gold for to-day
and the increase in the number of ship
pers created an uneasy feeling. There
were indications of the movement
spreading and that Thursdays Euro
pean steamers, unless all signs fail,
will carry out round amounts of the
metal. Burlington dropped to 63I,
the lowest in its history, while certain
ot the industrials sold lower than in
the panic last year.
President Tappan, of the Gallatin
national bank, late in the day secured
pledges from New York banks to con-
tribute in the aggregate $15 COO, 900 in
gold to the United States treasury in
exchange for legal tenders.
KANSAS CITY. Mo, July 21.-All
Kansas City banks yesterday ceased
issuing gold, either in exchange for
bills as payment of checks or with
drawals of deposits. Cashier Rule, of
the Bank of Commerce, who returned
from ST. Louis in the morning, said
the banks there will take the same
action, The reason given by the bank.
ers here for this move is that it was
the evident intention of many deposi,

RAYMOND JONES SHOT WHILE
HE SLEPT.
Then the House Was Burned to
Cover Up the Deed of the
Unknown Assassin.

Raymond jones, eolored, was shot
while he was sleeping in his own
home near Toronto early this morn
ing, after which the house holding
the dead body was burned to the
ground by the unknown assassin.
Such was the news brought to
town by several eolored men this
morning.
The particulars are about as fol-
lows: Early this morning just be-
fore daylight Raymond Jones and
his wife We're soundly sleeping in
their little hut near Toronto when
the latter was awakened by a noise.
On opening her eyes she saw negro
crawling in at the window, and,
without awakening her husband.
she jumped up and ran out OF the
room. Then she heard shot and
opened the door to return to the
room, when the murderer fired
second shot at her, and the woman
beat hasty retreat
A few minutes after the log cabin
was enveloped in flames, and was
soon totally destroyed.
Raymond Jones was seen no more.
The theory is that the assassin
killed Jones while he slept in his bed
at the first shot and then fired the
house. The second shot was fired to
kill the wife, without effect, and the
woman fled, thereby saw
ing her life.
1t is not thought that the woman
recognized the assassin, and there is
no clue at this time to the murderer.
Deputy Sheriff Johnson left this
for the scene of the tragedy
to investigate, and, ii possible. APP
prehend the murderer.

NEEDLESS ALARM.
CAUSED BY THE REPORT OF A
MOB EARLY THIS
MORNING.
sheriff Triplett and a Number
of Special Deputies sum-
mOned to Protect
the Jail.

About 1880 O'Clock this morning
sheriff Triplett received telephone
message at hisresldence stating that
a mob was gathering to attack the
jail and take out Wiley Goode, the
murderer of Frank Howe, and lynch
him.
The Sheriff Immediately telephoned
Constable Philpot and Chief OF Police
stewart, and together they came
down town, when the former sum
moned about twenty-five citizens to
serve as special deputy sheriffs to de-
fend the jail from the rumorcd aa-
sault.
Mr.. G. yoss was also called to his
store where the special deputies
were armed with twenty-five Win
chester rifles and two hundred
rounds of ammunition, after which
all repaired, thus armed, to the Jail,
where they remained on guard
throughout the balance OF the night.
But no assault was made on tie
jail. The Sheriff sent several coar-
iera out and in short time they re-
turned and reported that they could
find only abouta dozen half-drunken
men who were talking about vio-
lence.
Phe alarm was soon over and ut
daylight the Sheriff and his deputies
returned in disgust to their homes.
The precaution of the Sheriff
against mob violence proved totally
but as "an ounce Of
prevention is worth pound of
cure" lie acted wisely and we'll Had
he not been on duty 1t is barely pos
sible that an assault might have
been made on the Jefferson county

A West Virginia Girl Runs Away
From Home to Marry an
Arkansan.

Sunday at 1890 O'Clock, after the
conclusion of the regular service at
the Catholic Church, Father Gala
han, pastor in charge during the

in marriage Miss Mary Gertrude
Dulin, OF Parkersburg, W. Va, and

terday from her home at Parkers-
burg, W. Va, and it was not until
her marriage was teIegraphed home
yesterday afternoon that her parents
had any knowledge OF her where
abouts.
Her parents strongly objected to
her marriage. She is fine musician,
and especially as a violinist, and her
parents wanted to send her to
Europe to finish her education, but
she preferred taking an Arkansan
for husband to going abroad.
Her parents were not aware that
she was conducting correspondence
with Mr.. Farmon, and they thought
the match between these sweethearts
OF long standing had been broken
up. But not so. A few days ago
the young lady became Of age, and
she Immediately planned to steal
away from home and join her sweet
heart, with the above result.
The bridegroom lives in Little
Rock, but conducts a general mer-
ehandise business at Sleeth, Ark. He
is brother-in-law to Conductor
Baldwin, on the Valley Road, and is
n very WORTHY and estimable young
gentleman. Immediately after their
marriage the newly welded
couple repaired to the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Toney Neideweiser, whose
guests they will remain until this
afternoon, when they will leave for
Little Rock.
The GRAPHIC extends its congratu-
lations to the newly welded couple
and wishes them a long life of I'M
alloyed happiness.
