Sudden Death.
Yesterday about noon Geo. Krim,
well known citizen of this city, died
at his nome on South Fourth street
from heart disease. MIR. Krim for
number of years has been suffering
from heart trouble, which was the
cause of his death. Mr. Krim return
ed yesterday morning at about ten
O'Clock from a visit to his son Edward,
near Colerain, who runs a chicken
farm. Arriving home he was given
a letter from his daughter Alice, who
is visiting in Dennison. His wife and
he talked for some time, and Mrs.
Krm. noticing that it was after elev-
en- o'clock, repaired to the kltchen 10

Immediately secured Doctors Ong and
Heryey VINO upon examination, found
Mr.. Krim dead. Mrs Krim was the
only person in the house when Mr..
Krim was taken i'll, and he had re-
turned home apparently in good
health. Mr.. Krm came to this city
about ten years ago from Hendrys-
burg where he was born and raised,
and was in his seth year. He was
man of quiet demeanor, and was liked
by all who knew him, but for many
years owing to heart trouble, has not
been able to perform manual labor
He was man that had no harsh
words for anyone. and was true
Christian, and his death has caused
much sorrow in the city. He is sur
vived by a wife and the following
children: Mrs VIM. Ball, Mrs. tal-
bolt, of Kansas and John, Bert Ed
ward and Miss Alice, his children, liv-
ing in this city, also two sisters,
Amanda and Alcinda, and a brother,
Joseph all living in Flushing. The ar
rangements for the funeral had not
been made last evening. The family
has the sincere sympathy of the com
munity. The Krim family is one OF
the oldest in Belmont county, and
came here shortly after the Revolu-
tionary war; from West Moreland
county, Va. Their property having
been destroyed during the war, Mr..
Krim's mother. who died only few
years ago in Flushing, at an old age,
always priced a picture of Martha
Washington, which was given her
mother, the picture being stolen by
the British, and afterwards lost. The
Krim family was well acquainted
with General Washington and was one
of the first families OF Virginia, and
as death gradually one by one claims
these noble ancestors of those who
fought for our liberty, and afterwards
came to Ohio, it makes on epoch in
the history of Belmont county of the
original old families passing away,
but who in the future will always be
remembered as the noble founders of
the North Western territory.

A NEW TARIFF WRINk LIE.

We have had tariffs and tariffs,
tariffs for revenue only and tariffs
| for trusts only-we have the lat
ter kind now-we have tried
| reciprocity, which doesn't reciprocate,
and retaliatory tariffs which go off at
the wrong end and retaliate on the
, would-be retaliator as in the Russian
sugar bounty case and the more recent
Italian instance. Now is suggested by
a wise tariff sharp brand new tariff
wrinkle-a sort of second cousin to the
retaliatory tariff-called the preferen-
tial tariff. Whether we indulge in the
new tangled tariff may depend on
whether Germany yields to the demands
OF the agrarians and imposes its pro-
posed increase in the German duties on
farm products.
Heretofore the farmer has been kept
strictly out of the big tariff game, but
now the farmers dear friends at Wash
ington are thinking of taking him in,
and it wouldn't be the first time ne has
been taken in by the same dear
friends.
A prominent Republican Senator is
quoted as saying: The time is coming
when we will have to enact a preferen-
tial tariff law, which will admit to the
United States at low rates of duty only
goods from those countries which do
not discriminate against American
goods in their ports"
This sounds fine and the people will
await the result with the same patience
they awaited developments from the ap
plication of the other special tariff nos
trums by the same doctors.
1t appears that diplomatic representa-
tons may be made to Germany protest
ing against the proposed increase of
duty on farm products, but the Pre- sident
can go no further. There can be no
retaliation without action by Congress,
as there is nothing in the present law
authorizing the Executive to adopt such
measures except to a very limited ex-
tent
While the new German duties are to
be general and apply equally imports
from all countries, it is felt that they
are aimed especially at the United
States. for the reason that they are to
be imposed upon goods imported chiefly
from this country. If the new duties
are imposed, it will be consistent with
the policy which the agrarians have sue
ceeded in forcing upon the general gov
eminent for many years-the same pol
icy which led to the restrictions upon
the Importation of American meats and
American fruits.
Hence we kick. Now let us see what
comes of the latest fad, the preferential
tariff. Germany is probably the best
subject to try it on. II is the general
belief in Washington that the question
will come up at the next session of Con-
gress and that the President may rec
ommend it to that body in his message.
If the trusts don't fall foul of one an
other as to which shall get the prefer
ence under the preferential tariff it will
doubtless go through.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 1.-THE stock market
made a vigorous attempt today to with
stand the chilling effect of heavy exports
of gold and the furry in the money rate
to per cent, but the general show of
strength at the opening was forced to
succumb to this development, in spite
of the persistence or some notably strong
spots. The closing showed advances
very generally wiped out except in the
few stocks which moved against the cur
rent ST. Paul continued to be the most
conspicuous of these and strength in that
stock was supplemented by advances in
various other railroad stocks from indi-
vidual causes and by buoyant tone for
the independent steel companies and a
few industrials. Missouri Pacific was
slightly affected by the dividend The ac-
tion of the market on Saturday after
the appearance of the bank statement had
sufficient notice that the financial powers
that be were prepared TO ignore the show
ing of that statement and to continue
their efforts for an advance. The open
ing was strong in consequence, with 15,-
600 shares of st. Paul taken at spread
of 2h points, the quotation on running
sales varying from 1917 to 1874, compared
with $50 on Saturday The stock touched
1855 later in the day on enormous deal
ings. The belief is well defined that au
offer is to be made of four per cent bonds
at the ratio of 200 at par OF the bonds
for 100 at par of the stocks, as was done
for the Burlington. AS certificates for the
Burlington stocks are ruling at 1864, thai
price seemed to be the objective point
for St Paul. The heavy realizing WI icf

New York, June 17.-Todays events iii
the cotton market We're emphatically bull
ish. While the rise was started by Liy-
erpool, the New York market subsequently
took the lead, only to be outdone by New
Orleans late in the session. Shorts We're
badly frightened much of the day and
covered on every easy period, finally turn
ing with a rush in the afternoon. The
opening was firm and from four to seven
points higher, soon increased to from six
to eight points. But within the first hour
a set back occurred, cutting down the
rise to from two to four points. Profit
taking and absence of investment support
were responsible for the reaction. Tho
cables portrayed a firm and higher mar
liet in Liverpool. Buying orders We're
sent to the pit here and did much TO
strengthen our market. Weather news
from the South Atlantic States was unfa-
vorable, and crop reports, too, were dis
couraging. The strong point of the day
came about mid-afternoon, when shorts
lost their nerve, owing to the appearance
of large New Orleans and other Southern
buying orders. The West poured in Or
ders for August, October and January,
and Wall Street bought the list in general
and room bulls supported the market.
Prices were very sensitive to this buying
and worked to the highest level touched
in many weeks Trading was active and
general, with public buying quite fea-
ture. The advance carried July to S.33,
August to III, October to 74i and Janu-
airy to 7.43, after which there was re-
action of three to four points. IL was
reported that drought complaints we're be-
coming very numerous in Texas, spot
cotton was said to be hardening rapidly
on a scarce of Northern spinners and
urgent buying for the July Clique. Ex-
porters also were reported as bidders for
enormous lines of good grade staple of
which there was a scarcity. Fear hat
the public, which has been watching cot
ton very closely of late, would now turn
to and purchase for a pronounced adj
vance. greatly disturbed shorts and did
much to enthuse the room bulls. The
market was finally steady with prices net
nine to fourteen points higher.
