condemned, besides scattering animals in
other herds. In the Jersey herd of G. w.

condemned by DR.. NJ. L. Miner, acting as
agent of the commission. Ire animals
were killed in the presence of DR.. Peters,
chairman of the state cattle commission,

affected with tuberculosis, aud these two

the efficiency of the tuberculin test. Seven
animals In the herd Of w. H. Ripley Of
Montague have also been killed. The rest
of the herd is under suspicion, and by re-
quest of Mr. Ripley will be examined by
the commission. All these seven that were
killed were found on post-mortem exami-
nation to be diseased. A number of other
scattering cases have been found and these
animals killed. The work previously done
by the commission appears to have borne
good fruit, as the herds in Franklin county
are not as badly affected as they were
when the previous inspections were made

LISTON KETCHUM SUES
To Recover the Child He Has Never
Seen.

He Asks for a Review Of the Case on
which His wife was Granted a Di-
vorce.--AnsVver OF the Former wife to
the Court.
The suit of Liston G. Ketchum against
his former wife, Mrs. Laura Richardson
Jatimer, wife of Lieut.. Julian Lane Lati-
mer of the United States navy, was called
in the Chambers court at Baltimore, Nd,
Friday, but was postponed until January.
Mr.. Ketchum asks for a review of the
case on which divorce was granted TO his
wife Brattleboro people are familiar with
the story of the romantic secret marriage OF
Liston G. Ketchum and Laura Singer
Richardson at the Brooks House Christ
mas day, 1894, of the disappearance OF the
Young bride a few weeks later when she
went to Europe with her parents, OF Mr..
Ketchum's suit for divorce, which was
granted in Baltimore year ago, and OF
the suit brought in Baltimore a short time
ago by Mr.. Ketchum against his former
wife's father, Chas. A. Richardson OF New
York, for $50, 900 damages, charging him
with alternating the affections OF his daugh-
ter from her young husband.
When Mr.. Ketchum sued Mr.. Richard
son the story became known of the birth
of daughter to Mr.. and Mrs. Ketchum.
Mr.. Ketchum knew nothing about the
child until the little girl was about four
years old, and when he ascertained the
facts he at once brought suit against Mr..
Richardson. Mr.. Ketchum has now
brought suit against his former wife, has
object being to recover the child he his
never seen.
Mr.. Ketchum refuses to discuss the case.
The Richardson family will not talk of it..
Lieut.. Latimer, who served in the Spanish
American war on the cruiser Dixie, speak
ing for his wife, said they would make no
statement, preferring to speak only when
the case came up for trial in the court.
A despatch from Baltimore to the New
York World of Saturday said; MRS. Lati-
mer, in her answer in which she asks the
court to refuse a rehearing, says that
Ketchum's object in suing for the posses
sion of the child is to eXtort money from
her present husband or her parents She
says he has sued her father for $50 900 for
the alleged alienation of her affections.
She declares that she had been originally
led into the marriage by the "importuni'
ties and Establishments" of Mr.. Ketchum
that the marriage took place in the Brooks
House, in Brattleboro, VT, in room ad'

apartment at the time, but ignorant Of

that she was foolish, inexperienced child
whose parents were sffluent, while Ketch
um was an impecunious young man. Mrs
Latimer requires strict proof as to where
and under what circumstances Mr.. Ketch
UNI ascertained about the child. 1t seems
that Mr. Ketchum had been informed thai
a son had been born. The answer refute'
this, but admits that on Sept. 10, 1895, I

Another Protest from Senator Hear

Another FfOtest from BenatOr near.
Among the resolutions introduced into
the Senate Wednesday was one by Senator
Hoar expressing his well-known anti-impe-
realistic views. They recite the fact that
the late war with Spain left the people of
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine
Islands dependent upon the United States,
and resolve "That this republic adheres to
the doctrines which were in the past set
forth in declaration Of independence and
in its national and State constitutions"
They further outline the home problems TO
be worked out, namely: Equal rights for
the negro, pure municipal government, a
free ballot box, Punishment of illiteracy,
expansion over the continent and islands
of the sea where we can bring equality and
self. government without the aid of cannon
and bayonet.
Senator Pettigrew brought up his reso-
luton calling on the President for the re-
port Of the commission TO investigate the
conduct of the Spanish war, and made a
rather bitter speech on the subject. He
charged the Republicans with smothering
inquiry resolutions and with hiding news
which would injure the administration.
Mr.. Hawley wished the resolution referred
to the military affairs committee, but Mr..
Allison said he knew of no reason why the
resolution should not pass and why the
Senate should not be in possession of this
information which he considered valuable !;
and the resolution was promptly agreed TO
without dissent. Mr.. Hale drew the at
tention of the Senate to the proclamations
of Gen. Brooke, and said II its statements
were true, Cuba could soon be permitted
to govern itself.

MYears a Successful Business Man In
North Adams, Mass.

u
North Adams, Mass.
Jasper II. Adams,:.71, one of the most
highly respected citizens of North Adams,
who died in that city Sunday, was native
of Marlboro, son of Zebina and Clarissa
(Wheeler) Adams. He was descended
from Revolutionary. stock and was one of
a family of ten children. His father died
when he was year old. He attended the
schools in Marlboro and grew to manhood
in that town.
In 184S he went to North Adams with
his brother, David S. Adams, and they en-
gagged in the furniture business in COM
pany with Ezra Ingraham, in whose shop
Mr.. Adams learned the cabinet makers
trade. Later he bought Mr.. Ingraham's
interest, and he and his brother engaged
in the furniture and undertaking business.
After the death of his brother, j. Ii. Ad-
ans became sole proprietor, and continued
the business till 1890, when he sold the
undertaking department. He disposed of
the furniture store three years later and re-
tired from business.
Mr.. Adams was a successful business
man and built the second brick block

He had been a member of the Methodist

also served as a steward of the church and
superintendent of the Sunday school. AS
a business man he was honorable and up
right, as citizen he was public spirited
and loyal, and as a neighbor and friend he
was obliging and sincere. He enjoyed the
confidence and respect of all classes and
his death will be deeply mourned.
He served his town as selectman and
was formerly member of the old volun-
teer fire department. AT the burning in
1865 of the Harmony, Arcade and Armory
building, he sustained injuries which re-
suited in the loss of a leg. He was an ad-
vanced Mason, being past master of Grey
lock lodge, past high priest of Composite

ans was Mrs. Maria G. Hubbell, and her
son by her first marriage, Charles Hubbell,

CURRENT AFFAIRS.
Panic in the Stock Market,
Millions OF shares Thrown Upon the
Market, and the Rate For Call Money
at one Time was I25 Per Cent.

Millions OF shares Thrown Upon the
Market, and the Rate For Call Money
at one Time Was I25 Per Cent.
Stock prices fell to the lowest figures of
the year in panic in Wall street at New
York Monday. The break in some cases
was more than 20 points. Late in the
day when call money had been up to 125
per cent, the Associated Banks threw TO-
900, 900 upon the call money market and
broke the rate TO 80 and at about the same
time j. p. Morgan & Co. offered million
at 6 per cent. This checked the days
panic.
Announcement made just after the open
ing of the failure of the Produce Exchange
Trust company was followed by a similar
announcement regarding the stock broker
age firm of Henry Allen & Co., and as is
usual in Wall street panics, there were
rumors which investigation in several in
stances showed were wholly without foun-
dation, that other brokerage concerns
were about TO go to the wall. The Pro-
duce Exchange Trust company's liabilities
are $S,319,6 900, and assets 81, 100000. Its
funds are tied up in syndicate loans.
London houses, which sold stocks on
Saturday in moderate volume on the news
of the defeat of Gen. Butler, again came
into the market, this time to execute
heavy selling orders in shares internatiOn-
ally listed. The bear party which has
been active for three weeks helped to un-
cover stop loss orders and to force liquida-
ton. Margins were exhausted aud forced
further liquidation, the declines gathering
momentum in the afternoon when stocks
were thrown upon the market at any price
they would bring. At the time of the
greatest smash In the market the rates for
call money advanced rapidly, loans being
made on the stock exchange at 125 per
cent at one time one-half per cent day
and interest, equivalent to 1S6 per cent a
year is said to have been bid. This ex-
ceeds even the top money rate reached dur.
ing the Bryan scare in 1896 when 1877 pei
cent was touched. The cause of the SHARP
advance was a demand by many of the
Wall street lenders of money for the sub
stitution in their loans of railway shares
instead of industrial shares as collateral.
The secretary of the treasury is said to
have decided TO increase the deposit Of
cash in national bank repositories to the
sum of SO, 600, 900, or possibly 10000, 600
on the banks depositing United States
bonds as security.
