SOUTHERN,

General Cassius NJ. Clay's child wife,
Dora, is seriously sick at the cottage of
her brother, Cecil Richardson. She has
peritonitis, the result of being thrown
from horse several weeks ago.
Al Chastan, deputy sheriff of Panhan-
die, Tex, has wired the Topeka (Kan)
officers to help him find the Rev. A. Z.
Morrison, charged with poisoning his
wife. Morrison was released at Topeka
the other day after the police had held
him for three days, awaiting some action
on the part Of the Texas authorities.
The jury at Sevierville, Tenn, in the
case against Pleas Wynn and Catlett Tip
ton, charged with the murder of William
Whaley and wife in that county last De-
cember, brought in verdict convicting
Wynn and acquitting Upton. The crime
of which the men were charged was a
the white cap organization existing in
that county.
At Valley View, Ky, the separation of
Dora Richardson Clay from her aged hus-
band, Gen. Cassius NJ. Clay, has taken
a sensational turn, the general sending
William Richardson, his wife's brother,
word that he would give him $500 to leave
the country. and if he would not accept
the offer he would kill him. He believes
Richardson is trying to prevent Dora
from returning to Whitehall, and he in
snuates that Richardson has assisted in
robbing him of his wife. He is furiously
mad at his neighbor, Charles Haden, for
building Richardson cottage on his
place. Gen. Clay says Richardson has
been installed in his house so that he can
keep watch over the movements of Dora
and if possible prevent her from returning
home.

should not be passed upon him. Spalding
arose and after standing fully a minute
before the bar of justice said:
our honor, great injustice has been
done me- am proud of my business rec
ord in this city for the past thirty-three
years. | yet maintain that not one cent
of this money has ever been personal gain
for me. l challenge any man in the city
OF chicago or elsewhere to designate one
instance when l did not honestly perform
my duty. If you had permitted, Judge
Horton, the testimony which twice ac-
quilted me to be heard by the jury which
sat before you in my last trial, would
nave been freed on this charge as on the
others, but you didn't and stand con-
yicted of a terrible crime. I am not gull
ty, but humbly accept my sentence. That
is all'
In arriving at his opinion Judge Hor-
Ton cited many cases, and although it
was set forth in Spalding's last trial
that there was no intention on the part Of
the accused of appropriating the money to
MS own use, he held this was no excuse.
Ihe prisoner had admitted during the
trial that he had deposited with the First
National Bank Macoupin County bonds
belonging to the University of Illinois as
security for his own personal check. The
court held that when Spalding, who was
at this time treasurer of the University
OF Illinois, took these bonds he became
debtor to the university for this amount
His failure to produce them when called
upon made him an embezzler, and there
fore subjected him to the full penalty Of
the law. Inasmuch as the money was
secured on the bonds given as security,
the embezzlement was plain to the court,
and his decision was in accordance with
the admission of Spalding himself.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review Of
Trade says: 'The heavy exports of wheat,
with the renewed advance in price, is the
most interesting and important feature Of
the weeks events. Sinc> August, when
the extent of the foreign deficiency be-
came realized, exports hav" been larger
than in corresponding weeks Of any pre-
yious year. The cotton exports also have
become very heavy, and the outgo Of corn
falls but little below last years 1nprece-
dented record, while = exports of manu-
featuring products, especially machinery,
all records for the ecason have been sur
passed. Meanwhile imports are running
behind last years at New York nearly
$2,00O,0 600 this month, so that another ex-
cess of exports over imports amounting
to about $60,000,000 for the month is
probable. But this would make an excess
of about $225,O00,000 in four months.
Western receipts Of wheat are of enor-
nous magnitude, in four weeks being 27,-
072, ,104 bushels, against 9,214 1888 bushels
in the same four weeks last year. Cotton
declined to 5.S1 cents, the lowest point
for many years. The iron industry shows
no decrease in production or consumption
of pig, but with much reduced orders for
products excess Of production is expected.
In bars, agricultural and railway manu-
causes heavy demand at Chi
cago, iron being preferred to steel. The
woolen manufacture Is still consuming
heavily in execution of past orders and
many agents are sold so far ahead that
they seek no further business. Some re-
duction in prices of wool appears. Fail
ures for the week have been 236 in the
United States, against 300 last year, and
% in Canada, against 3S last year."

Nov. 80 the public debt, less cash in the
treasury, amounted to $1,000. .226, ,4G6. a
decrease since Oct. 80 of 81 1888, 12o. This
decrease is accounted for by an increase
IN the cash due to the deposit of an in

the Governments interest in the Union

IN the treasury would have been SIn 400

that the total receipts for the month of

She lives.
Guldensuppe was in the way Of Thorn,
and the Mack woman had tired of him as
well. Guldensuppe blacked the eye Of
Thorn and kicked him downstairs. The
Mack woman held out her arms and Thorn
returned. He talked of queer things and
revenge on the bath man. The woman
lured Guldensuppe ON June 20 to cot
tage at Woodside which she and Thorn
had rented. Guldensuppe entered while
the woman fingered in the yard. Thorn
killed him; and over his dead body Mack
and Thorn worked severing the parts.
These were scattered in the river. The
police found some Of them. Clews to
the murderers were few.
Thorn afterward talked to a barber,
one Gotha. He told him what he had
done, the deed of the Woodside cottage.
Gotha kept silent for weeks. Then he
spoke, and to the police. The Mack wom-
an and Thorn were arrested, the woman
defying the police and never revealing her
secret until ten days ago, when she told
it on the stand and accused Thorn of the
murder itself. Then Thorn accused her
of the crime under oath. He made a So
