Cincmntographe Pictures of the Ex'
ecution of Murderer Carr.
Liberty, Mo-, Dec. 1S.-William Carr,
the child murderer, was hanged at the
Clay county court house yesterday.
Carr was an ignorant backwoodsman,
who sought to please his second wife
by drowning his 3-year-old daughter by
his first wife. Carr presented pitiable
sight on the gallows. showing remark
able lack of nerve. After the drop had
fallen the 800 spectators, as II moved
by single impulse, rushed forward,
calling, crying, shrieking and laughing
as they surged under the gallows and
packed close around the dangling
corpse for a close view. The sheriff and
deputies dispersed the hysterical mob
with difficulty.
After the execution it became known
that young photographer had been
admitted to the enclosure with a
cinematographe machine, and that he
had been permitted to photograph the
closing Incidents of the revolting
tragedy. The machine was in operation
from the moment Carr appeared in the
enclosure until the body was cut down.
When Carr was a prisoner in the coun-
ty jail at Kansas City the same parties
persuaded him to reclte his story Of
the crime into phonUgraph.

We're About to "Haze" Sophomore
When Prootors Discovered Them.
Princeton, N. j., Dec. 1s.-Three
Princeton seniors were suspended in
definitely yesterday for hazing. This
is the elimination OF long series Of
troubles between undergraduates and
the faculty. Eight "sophs" took a
freshman from the campus one evening
In September and put him through
what they called Initiating" Next
day all the "sophs" implicated in the
hazlng were summoned before the
faculty and pleaded guilty. The fac
ulty did nothing but reprimand the
offenders.
A member of the sophomore class re-
ported features of the hazing which
had escaped the notice of the authori-
ties and thus made himself an object
of dislike to the students. Parties OF
undergraduates, no matter what class,
henceforth made it a point, when out
for q good time to call upon him.
The three men who have been sus-
pended made a call upon him. 1t is
said they were preparing for lively
session, at any rate proctors who dis
covered them believed SO, and their
case was at once taken up by the
faculty. The suspended seniors are
men Of high standing In their class.

FINANCE and TRADE.
Weekly Report Of the Two Leading
.sas.4 Commercial Agencies.
SURPRISINGLY LARGE BUSINESS.

Tho Closing Days of the Year show q
Gratifying Increase In Consumption
Over the Preceding Years, Despite
the slump In Cotton Manufactures.
New York, Dec. 1s..-R. G. Dun e
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Close to its annual holiday and halt
the business of the year is surpris-
ingly large. Payments through banks
are again 2.5 per cent larger than in
1892, heretofore the year of greatest
prosperity. The production Of iron and
woolans and boots and shoes Is larger
than ever before. Exports eclipse all
past records, and failures for two weel's
have been the smallest for the corre-
spending weeks In five years. Treas
ury receipts show a steady increase for
the first half of December over preVi-
Gus months, beth in customs and In
ternal revenue, and heavy payments to
government on Union Pacific account
caused but slight stringency in money
markets, with preparation for large
cancellation of bonds.
The cotton manufacture Is In diff
Guilty, due to production last year FAR
in excess Of demand and to partial
transfer Of the demand to southern
mills. While domestic and export sales
have been large, they are behind a
production exceeding that of the best
previous years, northern and southern
included, and the efforts to straighten
things by reduction of wages, pre-
s,mably involved strike and reduce
weak. and the range Of prices is now
the lowest ever known. the reduction
in bleached goods, prints and wide
sheetings having caused considerable
increase In the demand.
The demand for wooden goods is in
creasiEg, and some mills are in the
market providing for a greater pro-
duction, though most are still waiting,
and the wool market Is remarkably
dull, sales at the three chief points be-
ing 1879 100 pounds, against lS,lOO,C0O
last year, 17179.110 in 1895 and l6,5O4, 100
in 1892. While prices are said to he
held without change manufacturers
are hunting for bargains, and foreign
