other Police Court Cases.

The event of the Police Court yester-
day morning was the exit OF John Allen
from the pen. Court had adjourned, and
the Justice had retired from his bench
10 his office. The prisoners, who had
been consigned to safe-keeping in the
jail. were still I'm the pen awaiting the
arrival OF tho van TO take them down.
They were as silent as a grave is sup
posed to be, however, and nothing was
heard Of the escape until a gentleman
came in and said: John Allen is a
goner." That was true. He had escaped
from the pen over the iron spikes, as
was then learned. and made good his
exit. John was up for doing the rather
ungallant thing of stabbing Missile Fin

jury. Instead. however, he made way

BALTIMORE. October 1.-THE mystery
which surrounded tho death OF the man
whose body was found IN the rear yard
OF clearinghouse last night has been par
tally dissipated. and there Is no doubt
that the body Is that Of Simon Hesser, a
Deputy Sheriff from Savannah, Ga.
Hesser came here in charge of an in
sane sailor, whom he was taking TO the
latter's home ia Germany. When he
reached here yesterday morning he took
his prisoner to a station-house for safe
keeping until the steamer was ready TO
sail In the afternoon. II is thought he
drank freely and missed the boat, as the
landlord of the lodging-house says ne
was under tho influence OF liquor when
shown 10 bis room. He either jumped or
fell from the window. the latter being
possible. as the night was very warm
and the fall killed him.
Hessers body was shipped to Savannah
to-day. The Georgia authorities ordered
the detention of his prisoner until the ar
rival OF another deputy. with whom he
will be sent to Germany on tho next
steamer. which sails on Wednesday.

the United States were willing 10 begin
negotiations for a reciprocity treaty, un-

kind has thus far been made. but pre-
parations are actually making to open
negotiations, although the pace Is very
slow. The question is being thoroughly
gone over, the government being engaged
in collecting and compiling statistics for
ascertaining not only the effects of the
new tariff of the United States upon
the different branches Of German in
dustry, but with view to the possibility
of extending new branches Of goods into
the German exports.
One of the principals in conducting this
work is Herr Wermuth. the former Ger
man Commissioner at the Worlds Fair,
at Chicago.
The Deutscher Zetung, a leading Ag-
rarian organ, after speaking of the con-
tinual flow Of money from Europe TO
America, says: If 1t should prove that
the commercial intercourse between Eu-
rope and the United States continues, as
at present to necessitate an outflow OF
gold TO America, and a chronic stiffening
of the European money market European
interests will have TO pay about 100000. 600
marks for American cereals in excess
of their exports. which will compel them
to organize for joint self-support.

The commission. In a brief transmitted
to the Attorney General, submits that it
would certainly appear that deputy COLI
