R. B. McConneII, the DefauIting
Bank President
ENDS HIS UNHAPPY LIFE.
The Terrible Deed Committed About
Two O'clock This Afternoon at
The Home of His BrOther.in.
Law, w. X. McDOnald.-
Tragic Ending Of an
Eyentful Career.

ENentIuI career.
Mcdonnell has killed himself"
was the news that spread like
wild fire through the streets of
our city this afternoon. When
the excitement had subsided, the
facts in the terrible tragedy be-
came known. r. B. Mcconnell,
the Merchants National bank
president, committed suicide by
sending ball through his brain.
The particulars as near as could
be learned are as follows:
q. G.. Stapylton, receiver of
the bank, made affidavit to some
additional charges against him
and placed them in the hands of
u. S. Commissioner d. S. Will
liams, who swore out a warrant
and placed it in the hands of u.
S. Marshal James Clark, who
went to the home of w. K. Nc
Donald, where Mcconnell was
taking dinner. When he read
the warrant Mcconnell asked to
go up stairs for his coat. While
he was up stairs q pistol shot
rang out loud and clear. The Of
ficer rushed up only to find the
unfortunate man corpse on the
floor with a bullet hole in his tenn
pie and revolver still smoking
in his hand. It was a sad sight.
The aged mother was over
whelmed with grief. Medical
aid was summoned but death
preceded them. They found him
a corpse. The affair caused the
greatest excitement in town.
Everywhere groups of men were
seen discussing the terrible deed.
It came like a thunderbolt but
not entirely unexpected by some
who were intimate with all the
circumstances. The heartbroken
mother and sorrow stricken
friends have the sympathy of all.
Whatever may have been the
mans shortcomings, let us draw
the mantle of charity, and pity
those who suffer by the rash deed.

RUMOR is HASTY
BANK OF ENGLAND DENIES THE
SILVER RESERVE STORY.
Times Correspondent Reached His Con-
illusions Entirely on Supposition.
Alleged Action of the Bank
Startled Europe.

LONDON, Sept. 13.--Mr. Henry Riv-
ersdale Grenfeldt, director of the Bank
of England, has letter in The Times
i'll the course of which he says: CAS- a
bimetallist, and as one of the senior
members of the bank court, ! think
have a right to ask upon what ground
the writer of the article entitled "A Re-
monstrance' in your Saturday issue
makes his assertion that the bank has
decided to hold fifth of its reserve in
silver. The bank, if it had done SO,
would have been strictly in accordance
with the bank act Of 1874, and equally
in accordance with the action taken in
1881 by the government, then presided
over by a monometallist, Mr.. Gladstone.
There is no ground for saying that any
one connected with the bank has Off
cially gone beyond that position. In
deed, doubt if an opinion has been re-
corded or any determination come to at
all. Your correspondent whole letter
seems founded ON a supposition of what
may or may not have arisen in the me-
cessary preliminary discussions with
regard to the watering of the bank s
reserve with silver on the conditions
mentioned in 1881"

CAUSES MUCH COMMOTlON.
Bank of England's Action on Silver Said
to Have startled Europe.

Bank of Englands Action on Silver Said
to Have startled Europe.
LONDON, Sept. 13. The important
announcement made by The Times in
an article from special correspondent
to the effect that the directors of the
Bank of England have consented to
hold one.fifth of the bank reserve in
silver, has caused much excitement on
the continent.
The governor of the Bank of England,
Albert George Sandemen, when ques-
toned on the subject, refused to con.
firm or deny the report. From other
Bank of England officials, however, it
was learned that the article was proba-
bly, "ballon d'essai" sent up at the in
stance Of the government in order to
ascertain the temper of the people on
the subject before giving final answer
to the United States monetary COM
mission, headed by Senator Edward O..
Wolcott of Colorado.
The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting
upon the report referred to, says
'This startling rumor is such a bolt
from the blue that we would fain be-
lieve there must be some mistake.
Should the suggested action of the bank
have substantial foundation in fact, the
whole commercial world will immedi-
ately rise up in arms to protest against
so dangerous an innovation. Our con-
temporary darkly hints at pressure from
high quarters, and with equal mystery
suggests weighty affairs of state as a
possible explanation for this sudden and
unexpected departure from the straight
and narrow path. But the business
community will not be satisfied with
any vague and unauthorized statements
of this kind and demands an official
announcement"

HAzLEToN, Pa, Sept. l3.-Warrants
have been issued at the instance of the
United Hungarian societies for the

VERY BAD FOR CORN.
Late Hot Spell Has Cut Down the Yield
in Iowa Materially.

Late Hot Spell Has Cut Down the Yield
I'm Iowa Materially.
DEs MONIES, Sept. l3.-The hot
weather, breaking all records for Sep
tember, has practically ruined the corn
crop. Director Sage of the weather and
crop service thinks the crop will be
only 90 per cent, and it may be but 40.
He thinks the hot weather of the past
week has injured corn, potatoes and
other late crops fully $1,000, 600, and he
is sure this estimate is conservative.
Some we'll known grain men who
have made an examination of the situa.
ton in different parts Of the state say
the late corn is of no value and that
many farmers are cutting down the
stalks for stocks. Early corn is likely
to be light in weight.

,.~.,;sion in the Agreement
Not to Return to Work
For Ten Days.
c.,tlement Is Brought About
Mainly by the Work of
Mr.. Sovereign.

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. l3.-The great
coal strike has at last been settled. In
national convention here representatives
Of the miners agreed to accept the 65-
cent rate for the Pittsburg district, but
thew voted that none of the men should
return to work until the expiration of
10 DAYS, this being done in order to give
the strikers in other districts time to
arrange proportlonate scales. The res
olution favoring the acceptance of the
proposition had been defeated at the
morning session by vote Of 4O7 yeas to
4l5 nays. After the noon recess Grand
Master ]. R. Sovereign Of the Knights
Of Labor was admitted to the hall and
addressed the convention for nearly two
hours. He adjured the delegates to ac-
cept the settlement, if they valued the
aid Of organized labor.
Reconsidered the Vote.
At the close of his speech motion to
reconsider the vote by which the settle
ment resolution was rejected in the
morning was passed, and the resolution
was put to vote again after brief dis
cusdon. The vote stood 495 votes for
the resolution to BIT against it, IL votes
not being cast.
twill now be necessary for the op-
orators of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio to
get together and pay the wage scale de-
manded if they wish their miners to go
to work at the end Of 10 days. If they
do not they will be obliged to sit idle
and see the Pennsylvania mines supply
ing the empty market. The 10 days
limit was allowed for this purpose.
Ratchford Is Pleased.
President Ratchford said that he was
well pleased with the resu 1t of the con-
yention.
ut is as complete a national settle
ment OF the miners wage question as
we have ever had," he said. 1--WE will
have to fight De Armitt in p ennsylvania
Of course, will have the northern op-
orators to whip into line, and we will
have some fighting to do in West Vir-
ginia. The Indiana operators, however,
have already offered to pay the scale.
1t has been several years since there
was well defined wage scale for West
virginia. Since then the mining con.
mtions there have changed SO much
tnat We will probably have to call q
conference of miners and operators to
tx new scale"

Six Suspicious Cases at New
Orleans Declared to Be the
Dread Disease.
Another Pronounced Case Also
Discovered i'm the Same
End of City.
No General Alarm Expected
Unless Conditions Grow
Much Worse.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. l3.-Shortly be.
fore noon the board of health officially
declared six of the suspicious cases of
fever on ST. Claude street to be yellow
fever. A couple of hours subsequently
the board announced another pro-
nounced case of yellow fever at Miro and
Esplanade streets, also in the lower
part of the city, but mile or more
away from the infected square. The
announcement Of the first six cases of
yellow fever was not unexpected, al
though it was hoped from the delay on
the part of the experts that these-cases
were simply of bilious malaria. No
general alarm has resulted here, al.
though the news rapidly spread through
the city. The authorities believe the
situation
Is Not Materially Worse
than it was four or five days ago, and
they are still confident of their ability,
with modern sanitary appliances, sue.
cessfully to quarantine the infected dis
tricts. To correspondent of the Asso-
Cidteu LIeSS IIeoilSllJ olllplltut Sttlu.
"Of course / have made the an
nouncement of the existence of
seven cases of yellow fever in New
Orleans with sincere regret, but
there was no alternative left me under
my pledge to keep faith with the public
here aad elsewhere. l do not think,
however, there is occasion here for So
rious alarm unless conditions shall
grow materially worse. We shall have
to await developments.
General Quarantine Likely.
DR.. Olliphant notified the railroad
companies and others who have special
interest in the situation. The news
was generally spread through Louisiana
and the Southern states, and it is p:ob-
able that most of the towns that have
not quarantined against New Orleans
will now refuse to have any communi-
cation with this city. The situation in
this respect, however, will not be much
aggravated, for the Crescent City has al
ready been bottled up for several days.
DR.. Olliphant says that dispatches were
being prepared to be sent to the various
boards of health Of the country officially
acquainting them with the situation.
