BURGLARS IN THE RUINS
A Sentinel at Jacksonville shoots n
Man Trying TO Enter a jewelers. Safe

Jacksonville. Fla. May 9.-The ruins
OF Greenleaf & Crosby's jewelry store
early this morning was the scene of
some excitement and it is supposed that
some one was by a bullet
from a rife.
The Jacksonville Light Infantry was
guarding the Bay street section where
there are the vaults of -four or five
banks and the vault of the Greenleaf
& Crosby store. In this latter vault
were stored all the diamonds and Jew
elry before the fire.
Wednesday afternoon the vault COOL
ed off sufficiently to b. opened arr NJ
Lane. of the firm, had the outer Car
OF the vault broken open. The Ire
had destroyed the lock and the sun-
bination would not work. The vault
was then opened and some OF the goo Is
were aiken out. Inside OF the outer
door there is a three inch steel dor
and when Mr.. Lane left the vault ne
closed the steel door n locked ft up
for the night.
The outer door would not close tight
ly and as the inner door was consider
ed safe. Mr.. Lane left It and went
away.
About 2 o'clock in the morning thu
guard in patrolling the ruins noticed a
dark lantern shining near the door tust
for a second. That was enough, how
ever. and he silently approached the
scene with his rifle at charge. Before
he was near enough to distinguish
whether the men were White or colored.
the confederate who had been watching
gave the alarm and the robbers began
to flee. The sentry called a halt, but
the robbers refused to stop. The SOL
der fired his rife at the fleeing men.
n one OF them staggered and fell.
The captain of the guard was quick
ly out with a squad, and a SCARF was
made. but no one was found, although
there was a trail of blood.

ed.
The strong rally in the stock during
the latter part of the day did not serve
to entirely alleviate the ervou fears
prevalent in the Wall street district.
Rumors were very persistent that
many prominent houses had been COM
promised seriously by the violent slump
in prices. All of these specific rumors
were emphatically denied on the direct
authority of the parties affected; but
so violent a collapse in prices as occurr-
| ed today necessarily involves enormous
losses somewhere. The extent OF the
l decline was far in excess of the ordi-
nary margin demanded by brokers,
which is 10 per cent, Indicating that
they were unable to save themselves
from considerable losses in addition to
those Of their speculative customers.
The situation was still felt to be suf-
iciently serious after the closing of the
days market to constitute the heaviest
moral pressure upon the great financial
interests, whose conflict precipitated
the crisis, to adjust and compromise
their differences, and confidence in the
future is based upon a strong hope
that some means OF doing this will be
found.
London. May e.-Not in the memory
Of the Oldest stockbroker has there
been such a panic as prevailed this af-
ternoon in Americans. After the clos
ing of the stocu exchange hundreds of
dealers endeavored to struggle into the
narrow confines of Shorter's court,
where outside dealings are done in eff
forts to raise or reduce. as the case
might be, Americans to New York
parity.
Suddenly there developed a terrific
slump in Union Pacific, which was
knocked down 90 points in as many
seconds. st. Paul suffered almost as
badly. Large and small brokers rush
ed the scene until Throgmorton street
became impossible. The rain poured
down. but the excited crowd paid no
heed to it. Parties formed themselves
into flying wedges in endeavors to
force their way into the center of
Shorter's court. at which spot the prin-
cipal dealings was done All sorts of
conditions n prices were shouted at
the top Of operators voices.
Down. down went Americans. The
leading houses sent urgent orders to
buy or sell. but found it almost i'm
possible to have their orders executed.
Railroads of every description were
quoted at ~rock-bottom prices, and
Steel and other securities fell in SYM
pathy. Then, without rhyme or rea-
son a reaction set in. Up and down
went Americans. After about half an
reasonable feeling prevailed and stocks
rose to within a few points of their
price when the stock exchange closed;
but long after the usual hour hundreds
of stock brokers. most of them drench-
ed to the skin. traded in the hope of
getting clear before tomorrow's open
ing.

He had, however. never refused to con-
suit with employees concerning mat
ters affecting them.
He said there had been n reduction
in the price of cigarettes since the or
ganization of the so-called trust and
that this had been effected at the ex-
pense alike of the manufacturer. the
dealer and the tobacco grower. He
thought that the efforts OF the trust to
extend the foreign business had had the
effect of materially increasing the de-
mand of Virginia and North Carolina
tobacco.
John Lanstreet, vice president of the.
United States Tobacco Company read
affidavits from obacc dealers In New
Bedford, Lynn and Boston to the ef-
feet that they had been refused the
products of the Continental Company
because they persisted in selling the
goods of independent companies. He
also gave h names of a numbe of
other dealers who he said had had
the same experience.
II. b. Lee, treasurer Of the American
Company. said that the combination to-
bacco companies a not to his knowl-
edge made such exactions as repre-
sented by Messrs. Campbell and Lam

Appeal for Aid of Catholics at jackson

SOuVIllc
Jacksonville. Fla. May 9.-Right Rev.
John Moore bishop of ST. Augustine,
and Very Rev William j. Kenny, vicar
general Of this diocese, have issued an
appeal to b Roman Catholic people
of the United States and Canada call
ing upon them to aid Catholics OF this
place. The appeal recites the destruc-
ton Of the church of the Immaculate
Conception, the only one in the city,
parochial residence, st. Mary's orphan
age and ST. Joseph's convent, repre-
senting a total loss of about SIPS 900,
and states that today h Catholics of
this city find themselves without a
place to worship in; without a home for
priests; without a home for the sisters
and without a home for the orphans or
a school for the children and that in
view of the utter impoverishment and
restitution for the Catholics here un-
less they receive help from the outside
Catholic world it will be impossible to
continue the work Of Catholic progress
or this community.

Tho Neqro Murderer.
GOVERNOR JELkS WILL
 NOT GRANT A RESPITE

Montgomery. June N.-(special.) )-Frank Miller's fate was sealed by Governor Jelks this afternoon when the chief magis- trate refused to interfere with the verdict of twelve of his fellow citizens who had fixed upon Miller the death penalty.
 This was not surprising to those about the capitol who have been interested in MiIler's case. Early this morning the ad- visory pardoning board sent report to the Governors office recommending that the full penalty of the law be meted out to the condemned man. This report was unanimous. a.
 The train from Birmingham brought number of men who were interested In the case for or against.
 Wade Mothershed came as a special at torney for Miller, bringing with him what purported to be new testimony. When the party arrived at the capitol Governor Jelks granted them an audience and for several hours the facts in the case were rehearsed.
 The principal testimony offered in behalf of Miller was that of Caiff Cahoon. Ca hoon had stated during the triels when . aa

surrounded by both sides, that he knew nothing of the case, as he reached the scene of the murder of Policemen Adams and Kirkley after the shooting had oc- cured.
 Today Cahoon offered testimony before the Governor to the effect that he saw the man who ran down Third avenue rom the scene of the shooting, and that thls per son was not Miller.
 To offset Cahoon's testimony the prose- cutton referred to the stenographic report of the trial and read the proceedings where Cahoon had been called.
 After a careful consideration late this afternoon Governor Jelks announced that he would not interfere with the order of the courts, and accordingly Frank Miller will hang at the hour fixed on tomorrow.

The Last Ray of Hope is Gone and Death Stares
 Him in the Face
HE HANGS THIS MORNING
Governor Jelks Refuses to Interfere and the Condemned Man Must Suffer the Penalty of Ills
 Crime-Become SuIlen.

Frank Miller, the murderer of Police man Adams, will be hanged in the Jeffer- son County jail yard about 1o:a0 o'clock this morning.
 Governor Jelks finally decided yester- day afternoon that he would not inter fere with the due process of the law; and therefore Miller will be hanged until he is dead, dead, dead
 Doomed because he Is murderer and wild with passion because he is doomed, Miller assaulted one of his guards last night, 1t was reported.
 The death watch was set and two deputy sheriffs remained constantly with Miller.
 It appears that in the ungovernable rage of his wild despair, when he knew all possible chance for temporary escape from the gallows had vanished, he threw a glass of water upon one of his guards and then struck the guard a blow in the face.
 Sheriff Burgfn was immediately sum- moned
 The sheriff at once informed Miller that unless he kept absolutely quiet he would be handcuffed, his ankles would be strapped together and he would be bound to the floor.
 This had a sobering effect upon the doomed man, raving and storming in the shadow of the gallows.
 It was further reported that Miller swore he would stand on the platform of the gallows and curse Sheriff Burgin.
 Yet 1t seems that Sheriff Burgin has been kinder to and more considerate of the convicted murderer than any sherin couli be expected to act towards any con- aemned man; allowing Miller to order his meals from cafe and permitting him to receive a liberal supply of whiskey, as a physician advised.
 Miller refused to be shaved yesterday afternoon. At his request a barber was summoned from a downtown shop and bidden to bring safety razor.
 When the barber arrived at the Jail he was conducted to Miller's cell
 At sight of the safety razor Miller lost his temper and when a deputy sheriff in formed him that he would have to sub init to having his hands bound behind him during the process of shaving he flew into passion and declared that he would not be shaven; that as his beard had been allowed to grow so long, 1t should grow until he was dead. So 1t was reported.
 A priest was with Miller at late hour last night, but whether the condemned man made final peace with the church could not, as a matter of course, be known,
