circumstance attending the sudden
temporary insanity of Sam Hackley,
of Higginsville, who recently visited
the asylum here TO commit his broth
er. On returning home Wednesday
he suddenly became insane and be-
came so violent that he jumped from

building. The officers had to be
called and he was taken into custody.
The unfortunate man finally became
calm and was sufficiently restored TO
his proper frame of mind TO allow
his return home on the next train.

Alfred Hays. jr., is the assignee OF the

tent of their contracts. but In the stock ex-
change they are not believed to be large.
Rumors of financial trouble regarding the
firm which were circulated at the time OF
the Price Mccormick and Co. failure, have
precipitated the suspension.
Transactions for the account of the failed
firm under the rule in the stock exchange
amounted to about 5000 shares In the
course of half an hour after the failure was
announced.
IT was stated that the firms outstanding
contracts on the cotton exchange are small,

SENTENCED TO IMPRISONMENT.
Punishment of HOnduranian TO
Killing an American.

Another international incident has been
closed as a result of energetic representa-
tons by the State Department, directed to
the government of Honduras. Some time
last winter two American citizens were shot
by one Hernandez a native of Honduras,
at San Pedro Sula.
The two men, Imboden and Gold, Virgin
ians were playing billiards, when Herman
deZ entered the room and shot them. kill
ing Imboden and wounding Gold. The as
sault appeared to have been peculiarly
cold-blooded, for the reason that Herman
dez simply started out in an impersonal
way to kill any "Gringos." otherwise Amer
leans. whom he might meet.
The murderer was a clerk of the court
which met at San Pedro. and. as there
seemed to be disposition in some quar-
tiers to protect him from the consequences
of his crime. the State Department called
ment of Honduras that proper punishment
should be melted out to the murderer.
The result is exhibited in the following
cablegram received at the State Depart
ment from Minister Hunter, dated at Qua
temala City. May 81:
Hernandez has been convicted of the
murder of Imboden and the wounding of
Gold at San Pedro Sula, Honduras, and
sentenced on the 18th instant to ten years

The NEWARK AT TAKU
ARRIVAL OF REAR ADMIRAL
KEMPFF ON HIS FLAGSHIP.

A cablegram received at the Navy De-
partment today stated that the Newark

senior squadron commander, and that the
vessel sailed from Nagasaki last Saturday
and arrived at the Taku ports yesterday
Rear Admiral Kempf is the senior squad
ron officer described in the dispatch, and
his visit to Taku. the nearest point to
Pekin attainable for large vessels, has at
tracted much attention. 1t Is understood
that there Is already formidable fleet Of
European warships gathered at Taku, and
since the withdrawal Of the Wheeling the
American fleet has been unrepresented at
that point.
though independently, of the European
powers in the protection of the life and
property Of foreigners in China, Admiral
kempff has not at present any intention Of
making hostile demonstration in the Pei
Ho 1t is more probable that he Is at
Taku solely with the purpose of getting
as near as possible to Minister Conger and
the American legation at Pekin. and 1t may
be that he is simply placing, himself in
readiness to rapidly dispatch, ,. a marine
force from his ship to Pekin to guard the
American legation, just as it was protected
two years ago when Itotpus conditions pre-
vailed near the Chinese capital.

No Enlargement Until the Pennsylva-

Assistant Secretary Hackett Is informed
that the cruiser Prairie arrived at Bruins
wick. Ga. yesterday, after weeks sue
cessful cruise with the naval militia of the
state Of Georgia. According to the original
plan. the Prairie was to go next to VIII
mington, N. c., to take the naval militia Of
that state out to a weeks practice at sea,
but this purpose has been abandoned be-
cause of notification from the North Carolina
militia that it has not been able to get
sufficient number of men together for the
drill. and consequently does not care to
make the cruise. The naval militia of Viz
ginia, which was the next organization to
drill according to the original schedule, has
also withdrawn its acceptance OF the de-
partment's offer. The consequence of these
Withdrawals is that months time Is lost
in the seasons program for the reason that
there will be no practice cruises from now
until June % next, when the Pennsylvania
naval militia will embark on the Prairie at
Philadelphia
Assistant Secretary Hackett received
word from the adjutant general of the
PENNSYLVANIA militia this morning saying
that 1t would carry out its engagement in
this matter. At the conclusion Of the cruise
Of the Pennsylvanians the Prairie will come
up the Potomac to Piney Point and take on
beard the Naval Battalion of the District
for a weeks cruise at sea along the At
lantic coast.

The movement of the market is by no

The steel stocks are making little progress
