Atlanta, Ga, July 16.-Emanuel Rich,
member Of the firm of W. Rich & Bros,
one OF the largest dry goods and furni-
,ure houses in the south, committed sui
eide at his home in this city at o'clock
this morning, by cutting mis- throat with
fruit knife. He returned from New
York on Saturday night and on Sunday
seemed 10 be deeply depressed. That at-
ternoon he tried TO kill himself but was
ne escaped from the surveillance under
which ne had been placed and succeeded
in cutting his throat with dull knife.
Mr.. Rich was well known in business
circles throughout the south and in New
York, where he spent much time as buy
er for mis- house. He ranked as one OF
Atlanta's most prominent and wealthy
Hebrew citizens.
Investigation revealed the fact that Mr..
Rich had stabbed himself thirty-six times
in the breast and throat before death en-
sued. One of these blows penetrated
his heart and the other punctured the
iugular vein. The dead merchant was
native of Hungary and 40 years old.
AS the house of Rich & Bros. enjoys
excellen; financial standing, no cause
is known for the suicide. except nervous
dyspepsia, from which the victim was
great sufferer.

Mrs. T. E. McBee eloped last evening
On the Missouri Pacific train with Albert
Hobeck, man who was until July l en-
ployed by her husband on his farm six
miles southeast Of town. Yesterday Mr..
nlcBee and his wife drove up TO the city
accompanied by their youngest child.
who is about a year old, TO do some
shopping. They took dinner at the Key
stone hotel, after which Mr.. McBee went
put TO attend to some business and Mrs.
McBee 10 do. some trading. When the
hour for departure arrived Mr.. McBee
looked around for his wife but could not
find her. He went TO a number Of the
dry goods stores and found that a wo-
man with a child answering the descrip-
bill Of goods at the Boston Store and at
Cash Hendersons. This was the last
trace he had OF her, and not susDecting
anything wrong, he thought that she
might have gone home with some neigh
Dor. He drove home, but his wife was
not there. He returned to the city about
o'c.ock last night, when he learned
about the perfidy of his wife. He went
Immediately TO the telegraph office and
sent message 10 the conductor of the
Missouri Pacific passenger train al Gen.
eseo. Conductor Steve Hubbard tele-
graphed back that a man, woman and
child answering the description had
boarded his train at Wichita and had got
off at Hutchinson.
Mr. McBee had Chief Campbell tele-
graph the marshal at Hutchinson to ar
rest the clippers. Il was learned that
Hobeck has a brother in Hutchinson and
It is thought that they stopped off to visit
with him. The telegraph office was clos
ed in Hutchinson and word could not be
sent. At II 80 last night Mr.. McBee wen.
TO the telephone station and was trying
to call up the marshal. About the first
OF July Hobeck was either discharged or
quit the employ of Mr.. McBee and he has
since been living in this city. 1t is not
known that ne had worked any since
coming here. 1t looks as if the meeting
between H8beck and Mns. McBee had
been prearranged and the plans all made
for the elopement. McBee with a friend
were in the central telephone station last
night. He seemed 70 be quite disconsolate
and was sitting on the floor with his
head resting against the wall. He show
ed his nervousness by pulling at his nat.
When questioned he Immediately said
that ne did not want the matter publish
ed until 1t was all over. intimating that
divorce proceedings would soon follow.

by rail 100, 900 bushels. The out inspec-
ton was $4,000 bushels. Minneapolis
and Duluth received 26S cars against $50
ears a week ago and 342 cars on the cor
responding day of the year before. Some
further bearish features developed, but
the market appeared to have been al
ready somewhat oversold, as instead Of n
further break the price began to mend
after their receipt, finally climbing up to
the 80 1-Sc mark, which was the highest
mark of the session. The Atlantic port
exports were again light, the wheat and
flour amounting to only 10000 bushels.
The local statement was SO weak as to
attract considerable attention. Weaker
stock markets, DO matter where, always
have more or less effect on the local grain
market, and the wonder today was the
comparatively small effect it did have.
1t was sufficient, however, to break the
market to 70 5-Sc. Between 70 $50
70 7-Sc fluctuations were maintained for
a long time, but near the close the price
Topped to 70 1-2c and closed at that.
all day without losing more than 1-Sc
per bushel of it's previous value Much
of the weakness was caused by the de-
cline in wheat, but holders were disin-
clined to sell, and but slight decline re-
suited. Bradstrcct's reported visible in
crease of 1,333,OO0 bushels.
Oats weakened under the influence of
liberal offerings and sympathy with
wheat. At the opening buying was
heavy, shippers being active buyers, but
these same people unloaded again as
wheat declined, causing decided weak
ness towards the end of the session.
Provisions were affected with weakness
in sympathy with the grain markets. At
the close May pork was about 10 cents
lower May lard, 1-2c, and May ribs
10c lower.

COTTON.
NEW YORK.

New York, Jan. 19.-The cotton market
opened easy at q decline of 2 to points,
English advices not being up to the mark,
and receipts pointing to larger total for
the week than could be conveniently
handled. The first call prices, however,
were the lowest of the session. The mar
ket began to improve on better cables,
that follow the call and continued to i'm
prove on English and southern buying
and local covering.
This was stimulated by reports of bet
ter conditions at Fall River, where sales
of print cloths already exceed the probable
production of the week. Advices from
southern spot markets indicate the pres
ence of New England spinners and Eng
fish exporters with resultant demand
that was beyond the offerings Of desirable
goods. Without being active the market
took on a better form than has been ap-
parent here for some time past. Liverpool
and New Orleans were conspicuous buy
ers during the forenoon. The close was
steady at an advance of to 10 points.

WITH PALATKA IN CHARGE.
The Alleged Train Wrecker Now Denied
That He Made Any Confession.

Memphis, Jan. ia special to the
Commercial-Appeal from Birmingham,
Ala, says:
Deputy Sheriff Bell returned late last
night from Eaton, Ca, having in charge
Sam Palatka, the Hungarian miner, who
is held on the charge of having removed
rail at Cahaba river bridge, which
caused the wreck of Birmingham Min
eral train and the subsequent loss of
twenty-six lives. While the officers have
taken little stock in Palatka's statement,
charge of murder has been docketed
against him and his trial set for January
% before Circuit Judge Williams. Mons
Wilson. the Georgia constable who ar
rested Palatka, came over with Bell and
his prisoner. He states that when ar
rested Palatka confessed to him that he
removed the rail, placed it across the
track and watched the wreck. Palatka
denies that he made any confession what
ever OF. that he knows anything of the
cause of the wreck. He was a miner
here at the time of the affair, and thus
became familiar with the facts of the
wreck stfi..r

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
CHICAGO.

oAiesgo, Jan. 19LWheat ruled weak
today and closed at 5-Sc decline. be-
ias effected principally by the break on
the lseal stock exchange. Corn, oats and
provisions were weak in sympathy, corn
losing 1-8c: oats, Lie, and provisions
freM7 1-2115c.
In wheat the drift of speculative senti-
meat was pronouncedly bearish at the
opening and the session naturally started
with decline. The Liverpool market
opened with 1-2d decline as the local
market had dropped yesterday. This in
itself was not sufficient for the decline
which followed the evening up, when
later cables showed a further decline,
which was considered a sufficient incent-
i've. May opening at 70 3-4@79 7-8c
as compared with yesterdays closing
price of 80 1-Sc, dropped in a few min,
ntes to 70 5-Sc, recovered to 20 7-Sc and
then fell off to 10 1-2@79 5-Sc by II
o'clock The other routine news at the
opening was of similar character as it
had been for some some time. Chicago
shipped good deal more than she re-
ceived. getting 80 carloads and shipping
