A Strange Suicide.

c. L. Kingsley, civil engineer con-
mitted suicide at Blacksburg Friday
afternoon about 4 o'clock in his rooms
at the Iron City hotel by taking an
overdose of laudsnum. He left note
giving instructions for his burial and
money to defrsy the expenses. His in
structions were to bury him ina cheap
coffin and at night, when no one was
around, no preachers to be present and
to employ four negroes to carry his
body to the grave, each to be paid one
dollar for their services. MIR. Kings
ley was resident Of Blscksburg for a
number Of years and was regarded as q
fine civil engineer, we'll educated and q
man far above the average intelligence.
He would occasionally get on spree,
but was az psrently sober when he COM
mitted this act. Little, if anything, is
known here Of Mr.. Kingsley's family
connection, but it vas generally sup
posed his people resided at Raleigh,
n. g., and that he came from there to
Blscksburg as civil engineer in the
employ of the Augusta division Of the
old Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
railroad.

Ta:s repo-$ s2@ws tha: tbs affairs Of the
c.d2-msnt ra9k under Hinse9's nan
ssenent drifted into prsc-ieal insol'
ve1cy. Tae fo7msr president Of the
board O. coatrol declared he had done
his best to keep the treasury in sound
condition but that death claims had
nouu:ed UP, in7estments had turned
out failures and it he'd been frequently
necessary 70 ovard;sw the rank account
st the bark. The report, which was
compiled by the present board OF eou-
troll. excepting Hinsey, does not charge
the latter and Others with misusing the
fu2ds, but ststes that they were mis-
used. Hinsey occupied the floor dur
iDg the entire forenoon session Of the
investigating committee.
To reporters BiuseY said:
Il am prepared to defend my ad-
minis!Ta::ion against any and all comers.
Ny conduot of the Office was perfectly
open aud above b2ard The invest
ments we're good and legitimate ans all
viii turn out all right.
John A. Hinsey was ordered We'd
nesda7 night By the supreme lodge Of
the Knights Of Pythiss to appear be-
fore thst body and show cause why he
should not be expelled. This folloHs
as direct result of the alleged irregu-
larities which the new management Of
the endowment rank has found in the
books under his twelve years admins
tratioa as president of the board of con-
troll. The supreme lodge Of the
Kuiehts Of Pythias adopted by vote
Of 130 to l the report Of the supreme
chancellor, with all its criticisms Of Mr.
Hinsey'S management. and ordered it
published as an cficial record Of the
condition of the endowment rank.
Though $500, 600 assets are in bad
condition, and though almost $500, 600
behind hand in the payment of death
claims, the suprsme lodge does not pro
pose that it shall lose standing because
of the troubles that have been disclosed.
By q unanimous vote Of the lodge an
order hiss been made that in the future
no investments shall be made save By
the written order Of five out Of the
seven members Of the bos!d of control
Of the rank. This was formally adopt
ed Thursday and no one man manage
meut will be possible in the future.
L. addition to this resolution is be-
ing considered to raise the rates Of pay
nents on insurance about so per cent,
so that more funds will be provided
to meet death claims and enough in
addition to make good the losses and
creste surplus in the future.
Il this additional burden on bene-
fciaries Of insurance policies shall not
be enough, the supreme lodge will also
consider plan to assess all knights Of
Pgthias SO cents or 81 each for the
benefit of the rank. The lower assess
ment on $500,000 members would bring
in S250 coo.

WILLING TO BALANCE ACCOUNTS.
Russia Will Vacate Raised Tariff if
Z S. Will Do the Same.

Another important change has oc-
cured between the Russian government
and the United States relative to the
tariff. The Russian minister Of finance
NJ. DeWiste, has proposed that Russia
will vacste all the additiousl duties
levided on American goods since the i'm
rosition Of the sugar difsrential if the
United States will 7acate its action on
the sugar diferential. To this Secre-
tary Gage has replied that the offer Of
ths Russian government cannot be &C.
ceptej as the question of the sugar
diferentisl is now in the hsrds Of the
court. thus precluding action BY the
executive branch.
The proro5i tion Of the Russian min
lister Of finance was the result Of
Secretary Hays note Of sbout two
veeks ago. In that note Mr.. Hay
pointed out that the action taken as to
petroleum was not new, nor vas it
meant to have any connection with the
previous action of the government on
sugar. This appears to have recon
ciled Russian off cials in their view
that the petroleum order was only an
other step in the policy previously
taken respecting sugar.
NJ. DsW;tte's response is not long,
but 1t is quite to the point. It makes
no further issue as to the petroleum
order. The chief attention is given to
sugar and the specific order is made to
vacste Immediately the increased du
ties which Russia has levied, if the
United States will vscate It's action on
sugar This would amount to re-
establishing the status quo which ex-
listed before the United States took its
initial action relative to Russia.
The Russian proposition vas COM
municated to Secretary Gage, who re.
sponded promptly that as the sugar
question is now before the courts it is
not possible for him to avail himself Of
the Russian suggestions. Thus the
matter stands.
The reductions which would have re-
suited under NJ. DeWitte's tender are
those affecting cast iron wares, manu-
features Of iron and steel, boiler work
tools for artists, factories and work
shops, gas and water meters, motors
and dynamos, sewing machines, port
able engines, not including threshing
machines, fire engines, and other ma
chinery Of iron and steel; also white
resin, galipot, brewers pitch and
hicyolns
