 WAS NOLLE PROSSED Agreement by Which Children
 Are to Be Cared For. AN AMICABLE ARRANGEMENT Taken Out of the Control of tho Step mother-The Father to Provide
 for Them-An Affect
 ing Scene
AN AMICABLE ARRANGEMENT

The celebrated Hopkins case, which prom ised some sensational developments, has been no1le pressed. and the parties con cerned have been spared the pain of public trial, in which was dnVolved the family affairs of J. B. Hopkins, who, with his wife, Mollie Hopkins, was arrested some weeks ago on the change of assault and battery on Bessie and Gertrude, the daugh- ters of MT. Hopkins by his first wife. The settlement of the case out of court was effected through an agreement under the terms eff which the children are for ever removed from the custody and control of the stepmother, whi,e the father is ito contribute to their support.
 The case, which was instituted in the inferior criminal court and under the law transferred to the Jefferson county criini- nal courH, was set for hearing yesterday. The two children were brought from Huntsville, where they have been with their grandmother, Mrs. Sanders. Robert D. Wiggins, an uncle of the children, who has interested himself in their behalf, had. been in the city several days arranging for the trial, had corfe- snce with the father, and as result compromise was effected
 
 all costs and attorneys fees on both sides.
 When the case was called Judge Greene, who had been apprised of the compromise, ordered nolle prosse entered upon the docket, with the following notation:
 This case is nolle pressed upon the fol- lowing agreement made in open court:
 Gertrude Hopkins to remain in the cus- tody of her uncle, Robert E. Wiggins, or her grandma, Mrs. Sanders; the defend ant, J. B. Hopkins, to contribute to her support as long as she remains in said GUS tody $10 per month, and give an order upon whomsoever he may be working for as a fixed payment out of his salary, and to pay now $40 to B. M. Allen to be appropriated as aforesaid.
 Bessie Hopkins to be placed with some respectable family or institution, free from the control of her stepmother, Mollie Hop kins, this agreement to extend to the time when Gertrude reaches her majority or is in "a condition to support herself"
 When court matters had been settled. MT. Hopkins was allowed to take the children to his home, where they gathered together their little trinkets and belongings prepara- tory to quitting the parental roof, and the scene was an affecting one.
 The father, who, during the entire ero- ceeding, had shown a disposition to favor his. wife somewhat. relented and expressed the deepest regret at the turn affairs had taken, at the same time expressing the hope that some day things might be differ ent, and that his children could return to him.
 The children will be taken in charge by their relatives, and Bessie will for the live xx,ifl, har Huntsville, while Gertrude will be placed in school or institution.

LOUISIANA HAS
 DOUBLE HANGING Two of the Murderers of Mar tial SorreIIS at New
 Liberia Die.

New Liberia, La., March 2-Reuben Cate- murderers, expiated their heinous crime on the scaffold today, but Charles Brown and Henry Green were given respite by the governor and the death sentence was sus- pended until further notice.
 The town and streets were filled with 5000 people from this and surrounding counties, eager to witness the execution of the perpetrators of the repulsive crime of which Martial sorrers was the -r-:otim. The latter being a mucii- beloved young man in the neighborhood in which he lived, and being we'll connected with prominent Creole family made the event of unusual interest.
 On August b Sorrel's store was found broken open and when neighbors entered his bedroom they found him lying dead, his head mashed in and his body full of dagger wounds. The crime aroused intense indig- nation. Several days later Detective Hen- derson arrested Reuben Cately on suspic- ion. Shortly after his incarceration Cately wrote a letter to his mother, confessing his crime and duplicating Brown, and in- structing his mother to hide certain evil dence against him. The letter was inter cepted and Brown was caught.
 While the prisoners were in jail Tender son managed to overhear a conversation between them in which they implicated Brown and Green in the crime. special term of court was held and Cately went on the stand as the principal witness against his pals. They were convicted and sen- tenced to death. Later Cately was tried and also convicted Today was set as the date for the execution of the four men and quadruple hanging when news of the re- prieye of two of them was received

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, March 2.-Bradstreet's finan- cial review tomorrow will say:
 Tn spite of the continuance of favora- ble factors bearing upon the position of the stock markets here and abroad, specula- tion continues to be limited and dragging. The public here does not respond to the remarkable increase in railroad earnings by purchasing stocks at the present level of prices and in London, while the succession of British victories in South Africa has caused improvement in prices, it has failed to stimulate any decided influence upon the course of values.

IsRADsTREET's REVIEW

New York, March 2-Brads,treet's vii say tomorrow:
 Stormy wea ther has retarded the develop ment of shipping trade at many markets interrupting telegrapeltc and nlE way com- munication, and naturally checking the movement olf merchandise In prices ag- gressive strength is stll the feature of the cotton and cotton goods market while metals remain stationary. Food products, however, nave weakened, and somle raw materials, like wool and hides, are quot ably lower. Railway returns continue to reflect large gains over a year ago, though as pointed out last week, comparisons from now on will be with batter conditions in transportation matters than a year ago and phenomenal gains are less likely of at tadnment. That underlying business con dations are in a lllgh degree healthful will be gathered from the fact that business failures for February are at a minimum as regards the number for the month; lia- bilities only slightly exceed those of the same month year ago, and have shrunk to a phenoTnenally low percentage

Since July this sea son the exports of wheat aggregate 135 57o,62S bushels againsI. 16S, STA bushels last year and 164, ,45,6753 bushels in 1898.
 Corn exports for the week aggregate . 3373O bushels against 1896, ,175 bushels last week; 5,19i.S60 bushels this week a year ago; 5,054,694 in 1898; 5,255 7S5 bushels in 1897 and 2,775,049 in 1S96

 Failures in tine United States for the month of February number 745, with az. gregate liabilities of $9, ,995. .464, a decrease of 3.5 per cent in number for February a year ago. Liabilities are per cent heavuer, but assests are considerably smaller than in the same period a year ago.

professional market and the activity by commission houses, which sho svs the ex- tent to which the public is interested in current speculation, has been intermittent and limited. The most striking incident of the week was the placing of the Third Ave nue surface road in the hands of a re- ceiver. This action, however, appeared to relieve the anxiety of the street as to whether the troubles of that property might not nave far-feaching effects in certain financial quarters The fate of the road has, indeed, been hanging over the market for fortnight or more and the announce ment that the courts had at last taken it in charge resulted in general rally in prices Wednesday. Third Avenue after a recov- cry from its depression sold down again later in the week to still lower figures and all of the local New York stocks which pos sess franchises taxable under the new state law were influenced more or less unfavora- bly by the fact that the assessment of these franchises Is now in progress
 'The industrial stocks were for the most part heavy and seemed to be affected by liquidation of long holdings. This was in some quarters attributed to the possibility of antitrust legislation being considered in congress. There was also in some in- stances evidence of unloading by pools in these stocks. Sugar was a weak and dis turbing feature. the price of the stock dropping on the unfavorable anticipationS about the next dividend. There was no lack of bearish activity on the part of traders in these and other industrials and special stocks. Selling pressure of that deserip- tion also extended to portions of the rail- road share list, notably Baltimore and Ohio. At the same time, railroad stocks showed a considerable undertone of strength, and in some cases, notably the Atchisons which were heavily bought for foreign account, a moderately bulish ten dency was exhibited.'
