HuMBERr, THE DEAD KING.

petition Sunday night. At the close of
the entertainment he and his suite
took their departure. Amid the cheers
of his loyal subjects Humbert entered
his carriage and was just seating HIM
self with his aide-de-camp when the
P1audits of the crowd were interrupt
ed by three pistol shots, fired i'm rapid
succession. One bullet pierced the
heart of his majesty, who fell back in
the carriage and expired in a few min
utes, without uttering a word. The
assassin made a desperate effort to es-
cape in the confusion that followed,
but he was arrested by the police.
When the crowd learned the fearful
work of his bullet it was furious, and
the murderer was with great difficulty
saved from violent death at their
hands. The assassin gave the name of
Angelo Bressi and said he came from
Prato, in Tuscany. He refused to
make statement or give any reason
for his crime, but it is supposed he
is one of the band of anarchists who
are pledged to the assassination of
European monarchs, and to which the
cowardly murderer Of the empress of
Austria belongs.

duke of AOsta, distinguished themselves,

LlPToM's PORK CORNER.
Englishnan Said to Control Branch OF
the Chicago Market.

the Chlca go Market.
Chicago packers say they are not in the
least surprised at the fact that the price
of October pork was forced UP to SIT.
Especially at this time of the year, they
argue, it should sell at about $50, SO, ac-
cording to their figures, Sir Thomas Lip
toms corner has only raised the price 81
above the amount it ought to sell for.
John Cudahy is one of the big Chicago
packers who is of the belief that the cor
ner in pork has not worked wonders in
the way of raising prices. He talked in
a manner which showed very clearly that
he was not at all surprised at the whole
deal.
The fact that pork has been forced up
to ST at this time of the year. said he,
sis NOT unusual. Pork should be selling
at 6A cents. Put 100 pounds in a barrel
and that would make that barrel worth
in the neighborhood of SIS. The fact
that all kinds of provisions are light just
now undoubtedly has a great deal to do
