They were too busy, they said, to take the

600 has been paid recently by single bank

STORY OF A RICH WIDOW.
Says She Was DrugEed and Robbed of
Diamonds by Another Widow.

BUTTE, Mont, April 9.--Mrs Minnie
O'Grady, a widow, is under arrest on
strange charge of grand larceny. Mrs.
Emma Proulx, friend OF the accused. and
a rich widow. says Mrs. OGrady induced
her to take a buggy ride a few nights ago
and to wear all her diamonds for display
Before starting Mrs. O'Grady gave her
friend some medicine for rheumatism. A
few minutes later Mrs Proulx says she
became sick and desired to return home,
but Mrs. Grady took her out 10 the coun-
try. where she left her by the roadside in
a lonely place, after relieving her of all
her diamonds, worth several thousand dol
lars. Mrs. PrOulx was found unconscious
and the doctors say she was drugged. For
ton Mrs O'Grady stOutly declared her
innocence and denies that she was the
woman who went driving with Mrs. Proulx.
but the police to-day discovered that Mrs.
O'Grady had several other engagements
with rich women to take them out driving.
and that she requested each one TO wear
all their diamonds for effect The fact Is
also recalled that the husband and son of
Mrs OGrady died suddenly and within a
year Of each other. and that she collected
insurance on their lives The police are GO
ing on the theory that their deaths were
not natural and are investigating. They are
looking into several poisoning cases which
appear suspicious.

his family and friends. This morning at

peared unusually strong, and listened with
the greatest interest to the narrative Of
the wedding given him by his wife The
exertion of the morning, however told on
him later in the afternoon, and there was
a decided relapse. The greatest of interest
is being manifested throughout the country
in the condition of the noted man. Letters
and kilograms are being received from all
parts of the country inquiring as to his
condition.
The prevailing symptoms in DR.. Talmage's s
case have been aggravated by congestion
of the brain. which consultation of physi-
clans to-day determined now exists. The
patient has been most of the day uncOn-
scious and his present condition is very
grave.

BODIES ILL FOR SPANIARDS.
American Butchers VIII Strive for the
Meat Trade of Mexico City.

MEXICO CITY, April 9.-Hitherto the
supply Of meat for this city and suburbs
has been almost exclusively in the hands
of the Spaniards, who have also monopo-
lized the grocery business. They have
stockyards in their possession, flour mills,
retail meat shops, the tallow candle trade.
etc. Now the American Beef Company has
entered this city and will establish retail
meat shops on the American system all
over the city. This company will fatten
and kill it's own cattle and send meat here
in refrigerator cars from interior points
and make effective competition with the
Spaniards. The grocery trade is already
showing the effects OF sharp American
competition. There is much alarm in some
quarters over this so-called Yankee inva-
sion of a long monOpOlzed field.

BECAUSE HE GAMBLED.
Former Silk Merchant Denied "A Dis
charge from Bankruptcy.

NEW YORK, April "a decision by the
Circuit Court of Appeals, just rendered, is
of much interest to bankruptcy lawyers.
The petitioner, a former silk merchant,
schedules liabilities of $4,000 and assets Of
$4,000. His creditors vigorously opposed
a discharge of the debts. In its decision the
Court of Appeals says: From Sept. 49,
1898, to April II, 1900. the petitioner was
hopelessly insolvent, yet in that period he
lost in gambling houses, at roulette and
faro and other games of chance. more
than S16O, 900. and paid this sum out of mon
ey drawn from his business, well as
about $4,000, which he lost in stock specu-
lations. Knowing he could not meet his
obligations he turned to gambling and
stock speculations in hope of retrieving
his losses, but went from bad to worse and
rapidly used up his assets and the money
of his creditors" On this account the
referees recommendation denying a dis
charge of the debts was upheld.
