DEATH OF A. G. RANDALL.
He Had Just Turned Away From g
 Grave.

A. G. Randall of the undertaking firm of Randall & Davis died suddenly yesterday afternoon at half past four o'clock. If one to whom the end comes in the midst of his daily labors may be said to have died at his post, MT. Randall died there, for he had just finished the direction of a funeral. The body of G. A. Kirtley had beem put in the grave, the mourners were leaving it's side and MT. Randall had started towards the hearse. His knees sud- denly gave way, he pitched forward and. fell upon his face. When those who were nearer to him ran to assist him on his feet, they lifted only the body of dead man. His heart had instantly failed him. An inquest upcn the body was conducted by Justice Johnstone and it was removed to the undertaking rooms. No arrangements for the funeral will be made until ab- sent members of the family can be communicated with.
 The direct cause of death was heart disease, resulting from case of blood poisoning more than three years ago, contracted during an embalming operation. He never HVen appar ent y recovered from it; fine finger pricked by a needle, broke out again and again, but the most serious result of the or iginal poisoning was a weakness of the heart. Its action was frequently suspended and on one occasion a year ago it was feared that it would not be resumed. Two months ago MT Randall suffered a long and obstinate illness, traceable to the blood poison ing. When he recovered he was in much better health than he had been for months and yesterday it was re- membered he was extraordinarily bright and active

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Hon. y. l.. spooner on the Bell Telephone
Decision.

Madison, Wis, May 12.-Hon. p. l..
Spooner, president of the Standard Tel
ephone company, one of the largest in
dependent telephone companies In the
country, was interviewed on the decis-
ion of the United States supreme court
in the Berliner telephone patent case
Mr.. Spooner said:
MY information is that the decision
simply acquits the Bell company and
the patent office OF fraud and collusion
in the issuance of the Berliner patent.
The merits of the patent are not In
volved. Advices from independent ex-
changes all over the country show them
anxious to try conclusions with the Bell
company. Similar patents have expired
in foreign countries, and following the
decisions of the United States supreme
court in other cases the Berliner pat
ent will finally be declared void There
is no cause for alarm to the users OF
independent telephones"

s,apish Bank Not suspended.

Havana, May 12.-The Spanish bank
has not suspended The report to that
effect grew out of the suspension by
the Spanish bank of the exchange or
paper bills for silver, which step was
brought about by order of the govern
ment. AS result crowds of people
went TO the bank Monday to pay their
taxes. believing that script would not
be received in future on account OF the
exchange of paper for silver being done
away with, and also owing to the rumor
that paper money would be listed, thus
causing great losses. The bank, how
ever, continues open and is doing busi-
ness as usual.

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.
Erastus Wiman Speaks at "a Banquet I'm
Detroit.


Detroit, Mich. May 11.-Exchange
hall of the Detroit chamber of commerce
presented brilliant scene Monday
night when the 25O members sat down
at the second annual dinner of that or
ganization. The special guests of the oc-
casion were Eratus Wiman of New York
and William Everett of Quincy, Mass,
and the topics of all the speakers were
along the lines of commercial enterprise
and progress. Eratus Wiman responded
TO the topic Better Relations with Can
ada" Among other things he said:
I'm the full view on both sides of a
border line 1000 miles long. of depres-
sion unequaled i'm universally, severity
and duration, the government on both
sides are intently engaged in building
higher than ever the tariff wall. They
are thus destroying about the only
chance there is of a revival of COM
merce or an outlet for product and man
ufactures. That the people of Canada
are favorable to the closest relationship
to this country IL evidenced by the fact
that its new government has already
shown itself ready to meet overtures by
which the two countries can practically
be united. Annexation Is unnecessary,
undesirable and impossible. Canada Is
today more loyal to Great Britain than
ever before. All that is needed now is
TO have the commercial sentiment of all
the great cities express itself in favor of
a better relation"

FREIGHT DlfFeReNTlALs CASE.
Hearing Resumed Before the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

Philadelphia, May 12.-The hearing
before the interstate commerce COM
mission Of the freight differentials case
was resumed Tuesday morning. Will
lam r. Tucker. secretary Of the Phila-
delphia Board of Trade, was the first
witness TO illustrate the claim OF the
Philadelphia commercial interests that
the increased freight carrying business
and the increased export trade of this
city has been the natural result of inn
proved waterway facilities Mr.. Tuck
er explained what had been done toward
lettering the harbor facilities In the past
twenty years. These increased facili-
ties, he said had led the steamship
companies and individual owners 10
greater activity in securing business for
their vessels In Mr.. fuckers cross
examination by Mr.. Loomis, who rep
resents the New York Central rail-
way, it was brought out that nearly all
the grain or other merchandise coming
into Philadelphia from the west for for
eign exports is loaded on vessels at
wharves owned by the Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Tucker stated that the Pennsyl-
vania Railway company owned more
wharfage than any other corporation.
Lawrence johnson Of the firm of Law
renee Johnson & Co., said that In ex-
porting grain and provisions and inn
porting general merchandise, he used
the New York vessels for possibly sew
sn-eighths of his business. He said he
found the sailings there more frequent.
When asked by Mr.. Herman, who rep
resents the New York Produce Ex-
change, whether or not he exported
grain from southern ports, he explained
that he did not, because of the inabili-
| ty to get the sort and quantity of what
| he needed at any point except New
York. Mr.. Johnson was the first Wit
ness to be directly questioned by MEM
| bers of the commission. In reply to
questions from the commissioners, he
said cargoes from South America and
| also from the East Indas can be
brought to New York and then re-
shipped to Philadelphia much cheaper
than the same cargoes could be sent di-
] rectly to Philadelphia.
