A LIFE SENTENCE.
John Moore Cut the Threats of His Five
Little Children.

Hutchinson, Kan. May s.. John
Moore, who. in March last cut the
threats of his five little children, crush
ed their skulls with Ratchet and then
set fire to the house in order to con-
ceal his crime, was convicted to-day Of
murder in the first degree, which means
life term in the penitentiary.
The murderer pleaded apopletic in
sanity. Immediately after the jury had
returned it's verdict. the presiding judge
received a letter from physician in
Arkansas City. Kan, who had previ-
ously attended Moore and who wrote
that the man was undoubtedly afflicted
with apopletic insanity. This letter will
probably be used as the basis of an APP
plication for a new trial.
AS he was being taken from the court
room to the county jail, Moore broke
away from the sheriff and ran. The
officer fired five shots without effect,
but continued the pursuit and a few
minutes later captured the convict in
the house of his father-in-law.

TROUBLE EXPECTED.
1t Is Apt to BE More Serious Than First
Expected.


Astoria Ore, May 5.-The contest be-
tween sailor boarding house keepers
and the captain of the British ship
serious than at first anticipated. When
the steamer Columbia reached the low
er harbor this morning she was met
by a launch having on board Captain
Corning of the Troop and United
States Marshal Houser. Houser was
armed by a United States process is
sued by Commissioner Thompson of this
city directing him to apprehend the
sailors aboard the Columbia who had
signed shipping papers in San Fran
cisco for the Troop and to transfer
them to the ship. The steamer was
taken alongside the Troop and all but
two of the sailors forcibly delivered
on board ship. The two missing sail
ors could not be discovered.
ThWarted in their purpose to hold
the men the boarding house people OBJ
tanned a warrant for the arrest of
Captain Corning on a charge of kid
naping. The warrant was served and
the captain appeared before a magis-
trate and his hearing was set for to-
morrow morning.
In the meantime a writ Of habeas cor
pus was procured by an attorney for
the boarding house keepers and the
sailors were removed from the ship
and lodged in the county Jail pending
the hearing on the writ. The attorney
for the habeas corpus petitioners says
the sailors are American citizens and
under the treaty of 1892 with Great
Britain cannot be forced to serve on
English ships.

An Unsuccessful Experiment.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A Connecticut girl has added new item
to the notebook of science. She success
fully demonstrated that the far famed
rum of that thrifty state is not as danger
GUS as some people would have us believe
The girl had the blues and determined to
drink herself to death. She was told that
ardent spirits were both soothing and
stupefying, and so she bought a full
quart and hied herself to quiet outdoor
locality and began the fatal operation
There was but suspicion of dampness in
the bottle when she finished, but she was
far from dead. She was i'll and she was
stupid, but she had lost all desire to die.
In fact, she left the place in charge of a
sympathetic policeman. a much sadde1
and great deal wiser girl.
And the deadly reputation of Connect
cut btters is gone forever.

CONDITION OF TRADE
Great Industrial Combinations
Made During the Week.
IRON AND STEEL TRUST
Floating OF the Great Copper Ccnsolida-
tion-Retail Trade Is of an Ea-
couraging Character - For
eign Demand Is Good.

New York. May 5.-Bradstreets to-mor-
row will say: That this is indeed an era
of trade and industrial combinations
seems evident from the long list of an
nouncements of new consultations ru-
mored or actually foated, coming to pub
lie view this week. Whether the tendency
has as yet reached it's elimination can
not, of course be easily predicted, but in
some lines of the industrials the an
nouncements of projected consultations
would seem to have left little room for
further operations of this kind.
Easily first in this direction is the gil
gantic steel and iron combination an
nounced with seeming confidence as in
process of formation. Second only to
this, however, is the actual floating of the
great copper combination. Outgrowths as
THESE great combinations are of immense
industrial changes in many lines, they
possess special interest in the world of
trade and finance because of the immense
aggregation of capital or industry in

ing out to successful finish.
While the wholesale trade continues Of
petWeen-seasons' volume, every general
evidence is forthcoming that the aggre-
gate is in excess of last years undenia-
bly, good proportions and the retail de-
mand is of an encouraging character
That the volume of fall business booked
is in excess of the average is very gen
orally conceded. Advances on the part
of prices and reported great activity
abroad point to the widespread demand
for iron and steel and render less doubt
full the hold of American products on for
eign markets.
The tone of the general markets Is nota-
bly, strong for the season of the year, a
prominent exception being pork and hog
products generally, which have been the
subject of bearish manipulation.
Cereals are generally firm, cash wheat
being fractionally higher at the seaboard

in waiting stage pending the govern
ment report on wheat condition and acre

dictory; good weather has made for sue
cessful planting and growth on spring
wheat, while foreign crop advices continue
good and export demand is only of mod
crate proportions. This. coupled with
smaller decreases than expected in the
