WILLIAMS Is A BRYAN MAN,
CONDEMNED MURDERER SAYS HE
VOTED FOR THE BOY ORATOR.
Unreasonable, Therefore, He Argues,
to Suppose He Killed Lawrence
hneube for Shouting
s.Hurrnh for Bryant"

William Williams, the negro condemned
to be hanged for the murder of Lawrence
Schneubel Tor shouting for Bryan. claims
to have been a Bryan man himself and he
argues that it would be foolish to suppose
he would kill anybody for shouting for
Bryan.
II voted for Bryan" said Williams yes
terday. II voted at the precinct on Main
street, between Seventeenth and Eight
zenith, and my ticket was number $50, !
think If had that ticket to show how l
voted. ! believe it would help me-"
Williams is beginning to realize his sit
uation. He was told yesterday that De-
cember "a had been fixed for his execution.
A movement is OF foot to get up a petit
ton to the governor asking that the SEN
tence be committed to Imprisonment for
life. A reprieve' Is considered almost GER
tain, as there Is a strong feeling among
the Jail officials that II would be n desc
Grafton of the holiday season to hang the
friendiess negro at the time set
In less than two weeks from the hanging
the present programme. the Christmas bells
will ring and the Christmas anthems VIII
sing of good will to men. Yet according
TO the eccentric justice Of jackson county
this friendless negro must pay the extreme
penalty. while Fred Watt and Ben Gates
and John Schlegel and others walk the
streets free men. 1t Is more than probable
that a strong pressure will be brought to
bear upon the governor in behalf of VIII
Hams to secure a communication of his sem
tence. There is no doubt of his guilt, but a
sentence to imprisonment for life, ii is
argues would seem a magnificent fndica-
ton of the majesty of the law in the face
OF the recent outrages upon justice which
have been perpetrated.
II hope the people will sign my petition"
said Williams yesterday. 81 haint got no
money nor friends. only my mother and a
half sister. I just have to take what
comes. ! never tried to run away and if
those fellows I had had trouble with before

GAVE A GOOD REASON.
He Knew the Ashes Were Not Hot
Because the Driver Always
Sat ON Them.

Frank Smith is a little colored boy who
once upon a time went fishing. He lives
with his parents in the rear of the bold
packing house, and, in company with his
brother n other young companions, he
mounted the huge ash heap and fshed off
It in a little pond that had been formed by
the backing In OF the water from the river.
The ash heap contained fire. Its interior
was q smoldering mass of heated cinders,
and when the boys broke through the
treacherous upper crust they were precipi-
tated into a cauldron of burning ashes.
They were severely burned, and the two
Smith boys brought suit for damages.
John Smith sued for 500 and got beaten.
Frank Smith is now suing for LOCO.
The plaintiff claims that the ashes were
not properly wet, and were dumped upon
the heap while in n heated state. The de-
tense has a variety of theories. claiming
that other concerns dumped ashes on the
heap, and that. IL the ashes caught fire, it
was from spontaneous combustion. for
which the company could not be held re-
sponsible. The defense contends that the
ashes are always wet down before being
carted to the dump.
o Ginger. an employee of the company
was testifying to this point yesterday.
How do you know the ashes are not hot
when they are dumped on the heap?" he
was asked.
Because the driver sits on them when
he takes them to the dump in his cart. II
they were hot" The witness grinned sug-
gestively.

NEW YoRK-The dry goods market
situation Is no brighter and there is no
tangible reason for supposing that next
week will see n mending of the condi-
lions. Sellers have settled down to a
belief that the business to be looked for
now IL that of 1898 and seem TO have
tacitly agreed to work along this line,
The demand In all cotton lines is dull
as heretofore and In woolens there has
been u lull between the heavy buying
season and the time for deliveries,
which makes the day to day market
very slow indeed. In silks and dress
goods the best results are being OBJ
tained at present, though the market
for spring sorting prints, p%ercales, and
the like is in relatively good shape.
Jobbers report continued light sales and
inquiries and the reports from second
hands distributing centaes throughout
the country show a POOR condition Of
affairs as a rule. Collections are fair in
the main,

and the crowd Is ready 10 tnke alarm
4 IL shall be much longer continued.
Their vision Is extending beyond the
time OF the Argentine harvest and
they are contemplating the possibility
OF a failure OF next years American
wheat crop, a very much more serious
affair. The market recovered in half
an hour and ruled quiet until within
thirty minutes OF the close, when II be-
came known that both France and the
United Kingdom had accepted
literally OF cable offers made from
New York. The quantity was variously
stated at from fifty-two to eighty
boatloads. The first named quantity
was well authenticated and the fact OF
wheat in New York advancing on
cent per bushel on the curb after pre-
vlously closing sc higher for the day
on the regular session, That put more
life into the previously sluggish pace OF
the advance here and sent December
to 97Ac and May to s5k4 95&c, which
were substantially the closing figures,
Corn followed the fluctuations IN
wheat, but the trade was dull and mar
row and prices kept within NC range,
Selling by elevator people early and
the fact that cables were weaker than
expected promoted the feeling of
weakness, which prevailed for a time
after the opening. AS the session ad-
vanced Inquiries were more numerous,
and the value OF the grain was en-
HANGED. Professionals from the wheat
pit were very conspicuous and commits
sion firms also took hold we'll. Selling
was pretty generally scattered, May
opened at from 2lS@2lRc to 2l%c, sold
to 22c and was offered at the top price
at the close, which shows a gain OF %c
SINCE yesterday.
Oats were fairly active, but held
steady with a small range, The trade
was without feature and followed In
the wake OF corn.
Provisions were easy on commission
house selling of pork. They closed
steadier with corn und on some re-
ported export demand for lard. Re-
ceipts OF hogs were large and prices at
the yards were 5910c lower, but to on
set this were advices from the south,
stating that cooler weather had set In,
a factor that will naturally Increase
speculation in time. December pork
opened at 81 80, eased off early under
selling by the country to " 4ogI fz'9,
hut gradually reacted 20 81 62hN which
was the price at the close. December
lard opened at 81 12h, sold up to ~ To-
and those figures covered the entire
range in prices. December tlos helu
steady at 81 42hi.
Estimated receipts for Monday:
Wheat, IT'S cars; corn, $50 cars; OATS
2sO cars; hogs, $4,000 head.

up to 8 per cent In Delaware & Hudson

for these bonds is attributed partly TO
transfer of holdings In government Sc
curSties of an early maturing period.
Evening Posts London financial Ca
blegram:
The stock markets were quiet but firm
to-day. Americans were good, and
closed over the parity, on the belief that
New York will make things better on
Monday.
The monetary outlook here Is most
uncertain. The market is to repay the
Bank Of England over 1000, 900 pounds
next week, On the other hand. money
borrowed by the bank on consols Is due
on Thursday. and Il remains then to dis
cover the banks future policy towards
the market.
The rumors of some millions of pounds
OF gold going soon to India are probably
incorrrect or much exaggerated.
The Flnancier says:
The bank statement for the week can
not be interpreted to mean what the to-
tails usually indicate. The heavy In
'creases In the loan and deposit items re-
fleet actually transactions which have
involved only one or two Of the largest
banks. The loan increase OF S5,O25, 100
for the week Is covered by the expansion
reported by three banks. leaving the to-
tails of the other slxty-t two clearing
house institutions practically I'M
changed, What the increase e is
rather difficult to determine, but II Is
perhaps CONNECTED with the loans on
sterling bills in this market, aided by
domestic inquiry for funds.
The increase in the deposits Of one
bank alone has been 1901, 100, which Is
of Itself much larger than the aggregate
changs for the week, or to put 1t in an
other way, the deposits of the re-
manning banks have fallen off since De-
Der %. The expansion In loans accounts
LOT part OF tne deposit Increase, but the
banks, despite the heavier reserve
called for through the swelling deposits,
hold In Idle cash 81, 367. 100 more than re-
ported for the previous week. One bank
gained in cash S4,65S. 200, or 81, 1922, GOO
more than the aggregate Increase re-
ported. The only inference IS that sixty
-four banks have less cash in their vaults
than was the case last week.
Reduced to basic factors, the state
ment shows that the banks have made
no great change during the past six
days. The supply of money is larger
h reported on hand a week ago, but
unde the control OF a very few banks.
The principal event in the money mar
ket for some days past has been the re-
vival OF currency transfers to st. Louis,
but that rates for loans will harden 10
any extent seems for the moment rather
improbable,
