Battle BetweenI a Prisoner and a
 Deputy.


 Jasper, Ind, May 11.-In a desperate battle with a deputy sheriff, George Reeves was shot to death tonight near
 Huntingburg while being taken from Jeffersonville reformatory to Jasper, where he and his brother John were to be placed on trial for murder com mitted nearly twenty years ago.
 Sheriff Castrop arrived in Hunting burg with the prisoners in custody at o'clock tonight. In company with Deputy Sheriff George Castrop and John T. Hunter. the prisoners were started in carriage to Jasper. Up to the time the carriage reached a point three miles from Huntingburg neither of the prisoners gave the officers any trouble.
 During the time required in covering this distance, however, the men had worked the handcuffs from their wrists and as the carriage started across a high bridge over the Patoka River both men sprung to their feet and ieaped from the carriage. John Reeves was quickly overtaken, bound hand and foot and again placed in the carriage. Deputy Sheriff Huther fol- lowed in pursuit of George Reeves. He fired twice from a Winchester at the leelhs PrLsOhel without erect, the lat ter finally making an attempt to climb a steep embankment to get into dense woods. Here the deputy over took him and a hand to hand fight ensued, Reeves using his handcuffs in an effort to dash the sherifH's brains out. Huther, feeling that Reeves was about to get the better of him, made a final struggle and succeeded in throw ing off his adversary's hold so that he could reach for his revolver. Grasp ing the weapon he leveled it at Reeves's breast and fired. With a moan the prisoner released his hold and fell back on the deputy's body with a bullet through his heart.

RUSSIA'S NEW LOAN.
Comments of the London Special.
 Panic in Wall Street.

l dAIC III wal oLIecL. | Washington, May 1.-The Sunday Special. in its financial column, says,
 regarding the Russian loan which has
 been placed with Paris bankers: 1 Tt Is an open secret that the money
 was given because it could not be re- 1 fused without risking many foreign in- ! dustrial enterprises established in Rus l sia. Much French capital is now em- | ployed, and English securities will soon | be recalled for transfer to the Musco-
 Vites. Lombard Street is preparing inn
 mediately to raise discount rates in or
 der to protect the British gold reserve against a foreign decline. Thus the | loan is of more importance to the in- ternatonal money market than was the | last German loan or the recent much
 larger issue of consols, as here we have
 a country expecting debt by wholesale
 and expecting to get it's proceeds in
 specie"
 | The same article says: New York | celebrated the anniversary of the Vien-
 na Krach with panic as dramatic and
 destructive as any the world ever wit messed While the general conditions l of trade and industry In the United | States. particularly railway interests,
 were never so prosperous as they are ! at present. the technical position for account on exchange was Over-bought.
 This is not an important factor in de- | termining the ultimate value of shares. but it must effect the question of the
 actual supply of shares and becomes | leading constellation in the determin- | ing of prices.
 The moral effect of the fight for the | control of Northern Pacific has been very adverse. Besides, we have wit
 messed two panics, one upward and
 simultaneously another downward, in
 the same class of stocks. This sounds
 like Gilbertain humor. yet 1t is real experience. The whole incident Is deeply regrettable. It has shown a
 house of international reputation en-
 gagged in d stock exchange battle. But we must accustom ourselves to the
 twentieth century methods of million aire financiers."
