MURDER TRIAL IN KENTUCKY.
The Courts EnYirOned by Troops
Does Not Prevent the killing of
the Prisoner at the Bar.

Barboursville, Ky, June 12.-Since
the change of venue was granted at
Manchester, Clay county, Saturday, for
the Baker murder trials to be held
here in the Knox county courts, this
city has been in state of excitement.
1t will be impossible in this place,
which has population of about 5000
inhabitants, with good officers, for such
a tragedy to occur, rs at the village of
Manchester Saturday under the shad-
ow of the court when Tom Baker, the
principal defendant was shot dead
while a prisoner of the court.
As Tom Baker mad killed William
White, of Clay county, and as tho
crowd saw the rife fired from a win.
dow in the sheriff's office at the time
Baker fell dead into the arms of his
wife, it is thought there may be an
other trial soon for a change of venue
to this place.
When Jesse Barrett turned states
evidence last Friday, Jim and Dee
Baker and Charles Wobten were re-
leased as well as Barrett, the confes-
sion showing that these parties were
not implicated.
Then ewindictments were returned
against Tom Baker and his son, jim,
and Wiley Baker, brother to Tom, for
killing Wilson Howard and Burch
Storr and shooting Bat Howard with
intent to kill. The four defendants
were released by Barrett's confession,
and now the fifth by assassination,
leaving only Wiley and Jim Baker to
be transferred to the jail here until ad-
ditional arrests have been made at
Manchester, a point 90 miles away
from a railway, telegraph or telephone
station.
Col. Williams, who had his battalion
and Gatling gun at Manchester the
past week and has done effective
work not only in quelling the mob
Saturday night and in bringing ref
ugees into court, but also in holding
back the fighting feudists all week.

it is unusually virulent this year. The

Bryan Is on hunting expedition In southern
Missouri, and when he returns 1t may or may
not be said Of the excursion that what he hit
is history and what he missed Is mystery But
there Is no mystery as to his after intentions.
He is coming East on a missionary tour to the
New-England factory towns. hoping, as the
tariff has practically disappeared as an issue
to convert them from Republicanism to Democ-
raglan uphill work, as he will find like the toll
OF Sisyphus with sweat at least for guerdon.
But he seems quite ready TO try IT, and may
find George Fred Williams useful auxiliary.

In the latter half Of bis term Governor BLACK

which the machine leaders were confidently

York was an Insignificant quantity not even

during his second year in Office his official con-
duct was highly creditable to himself and SER
vlceable TO the State.
1t might have been supposed that such an ex-
pelience. even though they took personal re-
venge In the end, would have left an abiding
impression upon the managers or the hepuoh-
can machine. But 1t appears that they hau
nearly or quite forgotten it, for until within a
few DAYS they were cheerfully announcing what

and some of them lacked even the discretion 10

THE BUBONIC PLAGUE.

There cannot he much doubt about the nature
of the disease from which the captain and COOK
of the j. W. Taylor are suffering. NO conclusive
testimony It is true has been offered by bacteria
logical tests But there is other significant evil
dence. The suddenness with which the two
nurses of the steward were Frustrated at least
shows that his malady was contagious. And
while some uncertainty might have existed so
long as the victims merely experienced fever
and exhaustion, the development of bubonic
swelings pointed definitely TO one of the most
terrible scourges that have afflicted the Orient
in modern times.
There IS something curious about the way in
which this disease is brought to our doors for
the first time In history. Ever since the out
break in Bombay three years ago the quaran-
tine officials here have been on the alert and
have given special attention 10 ships and car
goes from India Egypt and China. 1t was
natural TO suppose that when the plague reached
this continent at all 1t would appear first In
some large city having extensive commercial In
tercourse with Asiatc and Mediterranean ports.
Instead two small towns, Assumption and San
tos. are afflicted before the great seaports. Yet
this very circumstance may explain the footing
which the plague has already gained on this
side of the Atlantic In New-York and Rio
Janeiro q greater sense Of responsibility is felt
and a keener vigilance exercised than at places
OF minor size and Importance. At any rate, the
authorities Of this city were not caught mapping.
There are many reasons for not being alarmed
nv this visitation The bubonic plague is es-
sentially filth disease, and New-York Is a
clean place. comparatively speaking 1t Is
mich freer from the conditions that favor the
nroparation OF the malady than are the Sums
NJ BOMBAY and Hong Kong. Again. for some
mysterious cause Americans and Europeans, es-
pecaly If well fed and Dourished. are almost
entirely exempt from it. Moreover protective
~ not curative incubation has proved so sue
cessful in fighting the pestilence that New
Workers would fare well, no doubt, II the disease
ever appeared here on shore.
Nevertheless, II will be we'll TO remember that
the plague shows a curious obstinacy whenever

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The change in Wall Street following the offer
TO purchase bonds has been exaggerated by crit
les on both sides. Money had already become
easier, on call, for time and on commercial
paper Stocks had risen nearly 81 share from
Saturday to the close on Wednesday. lf there
were made known to Secretary Gage. as some
conjecture threatening events which would i'm
nair confidence in general business, no sign or
them has come to light. After the offer to pur-
chase stocks about as much more, pros
pects OF gold imports faded, but confidence was
much strengthened. The Secretary says with
truth in explaining his course, that had he done
nothing he would have been accused Of aiding
speculators for a fall and bankers who wanted
tight money. There was opportunity TO take
nrecautions for the future with definite adj
vantage to the Government II the bonds were
furnished On that ground he justifes the step
without withdrawing his opinion that no emer-
gency existed requiring relief.
The rise In railroad stocks exactly equalled
the fall OF the previous week the average at
the closing was SO A. against SI3 63 Novem-
ber II and $40 A November 4. The street roads
did not recover their position Of two weeks ago
by 81 81 a share. but other railroad stocks closed
40 cents share higher than two weeks ago
The industrals rose 81 80 a share. the fall
OF the previous week having been 81 60.
Sales were large. five railroad stocks max
ing UP a million shares. five trust and two
street railroad stocks about as much, and
nearly two hundred others about 1'2o5,OOO.
Earnings give good support, for the first
week OF November exceeding last year by
"a per cent. and 1892 by IA per cent. and
Chicago eastbound tonnage in half OF November
has been % per cent larger than last year and
% per cent larger than in 1892 Large buying
appears on foreign account, and may naturally
continue II this country still lends Europe
money to buy with.
The splendid state of foreign trade disclosed
by October returns still continues. for while
imports at NewYork in November have been
about II per cent larger and exports II per cent
smaller than last year the November excess Of
exports over imports was SI7.700,000 last year.
and at the same rates OF change this month
would show excess OF $40. 900 or more II Is
Interesting to observe that foreign contracts Of
large importance still being taken. includ-

them will be wiser than any possible laxness.
One of the most active agencies In the DIS
semInation of plague germs in Asiatic cities
has been the rats. These animals are them
selves pecuiarly susceptible to the disease, and
they are such wanderers that they carry .n'
plague from house TO house. and thus iniec' III

countries have taken special precautions asains'
allowing rats from suspected vessei u 30

manner: officers. crew and passengers may ne
