JUDGE GRINNELL DEAD.
Was One Of Chicago's Most Famous
Attorneys.

CHICAGO. June S.-Judge Julius F..
Grinnell died suddenly to-day at the
Illinois Trust and Savings Bank.
Judge Grinnell was famous for the
record he made IS fearless public
servant. particularly as the State At
torney during the prosecution OF the
Haymarket Anarchists.
For several years Judge Grinnell had
not held any office, but has been gem
eral counsel for the Chicago City Rail-
way Company. He died in the private
Office of B. S. Chaptell, Assistant Cash
Ter of the Illinois Trust and Savings
Bank Heart disease, Selling the form
err jurist while engaged in conversation
over a business question of minor i'm
portance, caused his death within an
hour after he was stricken. With him
when he became i'll were President
Bowen of the Chicago City Railway
Company and Attorney Hutchins of

Judge Grinnell was apparently in his
usual health when he appeared at the
banking house He went direct to the

The doors and windows of the room
were open, and Judge Grinnell sat down
and began conversation, giving no in
dication of the. proximity of the fatal

aives On May 10Th the British Consul
General at Port au Prince requested the
American Minister, Mr.. Powell, to eX-
tend his protection over an English sub
ject at Gonaives. The nature of the
difficulty into which this person had
gotten is unknown to the correspondent
and in any event is not essential to the
matter in question.
United States Minister Powell ad-
dressed telegram in English to the
American Consul at Gonaives. At the
office of the Government Telegraph
Company in Port Antonio the message
was refused because it was not writ
ten in French, according to Govern
ment regulations. Mr.. Powell declined
to be controlled by these regulations in
communicating with a United States
officer on matters of purely official inn
port. The Minister of the Interior Of
fered to frank the message and send it
free if he were PRINTED to translate it
into French beforehand To this Min
lister Powell refused to accede, and at
last the Minister of Interior yielded. 1t
is said that this is the first time the
Government has waived its regulations
in this particular.

AT CHICKAMAUGA.
No Truth in the Report That the
Soldier is Being Robbed.

CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARK
(Ga.l, June S.-Recruiting officers are
leaving the camp in numbers, almost
every regiment having completed its
detail.
There is absolutely 10 truth in the
stories sent out from here that the SOL
der is being robbed. There have heen
one or two instances wneG'a letters have
been reported lost, but if there has been
any complaint that letters have been
robbed the authorities know nothing
OF it. The mail for the soldiers does
not leave the postal cars until it is put
IL the regimental mail pouches, and
there is no more danger IN the trans
mission of mail to this point than 10
any other.
The Postoffice Department has or
dered the erection of a building at this
point for the use of the money order
department, which has been steadily
growing. An idea may ne had of the
business at this Office when il may lie
known that the sale of postage stamps
to-day were 10000 2-cent stamps The
supply on hand gave out and many
soldiers who had emergency letters
bought 4-cent stamps rather than wait
for a new supply.

ERNEST TEREH HOOLEY.
The Big Promoter in England In
Financial Difficulty.

LONDON, June S.-A receiving order
in bankruptcy has been issued against
Ernest Terah Hooley, for years prom
inent as the biggest company promoter
in this country, prominently interested
in bicycle land and other concerns, and
who was supposed to be multi
millionaire.
y Mr.. Hooley reached the pinnacle of
prominence in 1896 when he promoted
the Dunlop Tire Company, and was
supposed to have cleared $12,5jO.COO by
that deal alone. He has since been
Boyril Company and with many bicycle
anything later was profitable to the
stockholders.
In the meanwhile, however. Mr.. Hoo
ley lived a sort of Monte Cristo exist
ence, bought yachts and race horses
and numerous historic curiosities. In
January of the present year Mr.. Hooley
purchased inc racing yacht Britannia.
formerly the property of the Prince of
Wales, from John Lawson tombstone.
During 1896 he purchased the schooner
yacht VOnca from the Earl of Ions
dale. Mr. Hooley is member Of
number of yacht clubs.
Mr. Hooley was formally adjudged
a bankrupt 1t is impossible at present
to make any correct estimate of the
liabilities of Mr.. Hooley, but there is
no doubt they are very large. Among
the more recent projects attempted by
Mr.. Hooley was the floating of Span
ish loan.
The capitals of the companies pro-
NOTED by the bankrupt aggregate from
500, coo, 600 to $G5,OOOOOO. and the
shares in these concerns, taken as
whole, have deprecated over 40 per
cent since their flotation.
