DEFAULTER AND SUICIDE.
Dead New England Bank Cashier is
Found to Be Short $4,000

New Bedford. Mass, April 9O.-Following
close upon the sudden death of Cashier
LemueI T. Terry of the Mechanics Ma
tional bank comes the startling discovery
that he was a heavy defaulter and a sui
eide. Cashier Terry was found dead in a
chair in the directors room Saturday
night, and the physicians declared death
due to apoplexy.
An Investigation revealing a defalcation
rising $4,000, an autopsy was held, and
the medical examiner found that Terry
had died from cyanide of potassium, ta-
ken with suicidal intent. Cashier Terry
was of a fine family and was worth $4,000.
when, year ago, he exchanged the posi-
ton of assistant with Cashier James w.
Hervey, who desired to be relieved of re-
Sponsibility owing to ill health.
Terry had made his money in Calumet
and Hecla investments, and his specula-
lions wiped him out, and then he used the
banks money and some $4,000 trusts
funds belonging to the Sylvia A. Rowland
estate, the income of which has been paid
to Hetty Green, Americas richest woman.

FEW CATTLE IN MEXICO.
Cuban Rebellion Has Caused the
Great Scarcity IN Stock.

ST. Louis, April 9O.-The astonishing an
nouncement is now made that Mexico is
almost without cattle. This surprising
state of affairs is due to the. tremendous
demand for Mexican beef that began al
most exactly two years ago and has re-
suited in cutting down to very small num-
bers the seemingly inexhaustible herds Of
northern Mexico.
The states of Chihuahua and Sonora
alone have been shipping to Cuba from
5000 to 5000 head of cattle a month. That
is why the Cuban rebellion has lined the
pockets of the Mexican stockmen with
gold
During the past u months, also, the
movement of live stock from Mexico to
the United States has become unusual.
The demand has gone on undated and
s@l1 exists. 1t is apparent, therefore, that
the Mexican cattlemen have realized
handsomely from this product of their
ranches--in fact, majority of them have
practically exhausted their herds.
The extent of the exports can best be
appreciated when the figures are consid-
cred; During the last quarter of 1897, the
total value of cattle that came into the
United States was $222, 522, and this; too
regardless of the fact that the duty upon
cattle imported from Mexico is about SO
per head. All these cattle. are of low
grade, and the beef they make is far from
being equal to the American product.

TOURIST SEASON OPENED.
Colorado Resorts Filling Up With
Guests in Advance of the Reg
lar Season.

Denver, April 30.-People returning from
the mountain resort towns of Colorado,
report that the season has opened already
and in a way that augurs well for the
summer months. Hotels at these different
towns are filling up with great rapidity,
visitors having arrived from all parts of
the country.
General Passenger Agent Bailey of the
Colorado Midland railroad returned this
morning from a business trip over the
line of the Midland. II was surprised be-
yond measure" said he, upon visiting
Glenwood Springs, to learn that tourists
are beginning to arrive there in numbers.
Last Sunday there were % guests at the
Hotel Colorado where at this time last
year there were not more than two or
three l predict that this will be the
seen. Many visitors have already arrived
at Manftou, there to remain throughout
the summer: Most of these people are
from Texas. 1t is stated that Texas will
be virtually deserted this summer, and
from what 1 have seen 1 believe that this
prediction will be Xerified.''

VAN WICK IS SILENT.
Refuses to Discuss the Rumor That
He is to Resign.

New York, April 3O.-Mayor Van
Wyck only laughed today when a story
was shown him in a Philadelphia news
paper which declared he would resign
in the fall and become a candidate for
the place now held on the supreme
bench by Justice Joseph H. Daily. The
mayor refused to break his rule not to
discuss any report, true or false, about
himself.
President Randolph Guggenheimer of
the municipal council who would step
into the shoes of the mayor should he
resign, said:
while it is true that the mayor has
told his intimate friends that he finds
his office less congenial than judicial
one, it is pretty safe to say that he will
not resign this year or next year, if at
all. Should he retire this year another
mayor would have to be elected next
year.
NO matter what the mayor might
prefer, I am sure he will remain in
office rather than risk the loss of the
city government to the Democracy in
1900

BOOM IN FOOD PRICES.
Evidence of an Advance at New York
Restaurants.

New York, April SO.-There was a
futter among restaurant men today
over the boom in food prices, and per-
sons who patronize eating establish
ments are likely to feel the effects of
the war scare very soon.
1t was discovered a number of pro-
prietOrs were carefully scanning their
price lists, and selecting items which
must be made more expensive.
All meat dishes will first be affected,
for meat is really becoming scarce.
This is due as much to the small supply
of cattle as to the war scare.
Manager Raphael. of Armour's COM
pany, said today: You could not get
500 barrels of beef just now for love or
money. The price has gone up from
$8.75 to $11.50 a barrel. There are no
cattle for sale. The cattlemen are
holding on to their stock, hoping for the
highest war prices
European cables reported the sugar
market abroad strong and higher. The
recent advances in sugar are .traceable
to the war, which shuts off the Cuban
and Philippine islands supply, and may
affect the supply from Hawaii.
Another advance was ordered today
in the price of domestic and refined su-
gars. 1t was of 1-16c a pound on all
grades, inclusive from Dominoes to No.
and also No. II.

THE ARMY MULE.
His Bray Would Drive B1anco Insane
With Fear.

Chicago, April 30.-A special to the
Record from Chattanooga, Tenn, says:
Chattanooga was awakened yesterday
morning by sound, the like of which
has not been heard since Gen. Bragg
deployed his columns to oppose the
Army of the Cumberland, thirty-five
years ago.
The noise began away off to the west
with shrill, piercing note, followed by
wall that startled the civilians and

one dared to venture an opinion 1t
was admitted that trouble was coming
and Chattanooga braced herself for a
struggle.
Nearer, clearer and deadlier came the
noise The furies of the inferno were
not half so strenuous, as every note of
the scale was run in every key. Then
came a tremendous finale, in which
shrieks, walls, groans and cries of rage
and despair were intermingled in hope

G. Marshal, of Portsmouth, Va, who

RUBBER FROM CORN.
Glucose Trust Will Knock Out the

to have discovered a process for vul-

manner as to produce rubber. They say
this will revo1utionize the rubber trade

manufacture of bicycle tires.
The oil of corn after being vulcanized

the product of the South American rub
Der tree, is more resilient and more
