MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Tragic Ending of a business Quar-
rel by Former Partners in
New York City.

New York, Oct. 1s.-Using new
automatic magazine pistol, William C.
Turner, former president and treas
urer of the Climax Bottling company,
to-day shot and killed w. j. Mallard,
secretary and treasurer of the COM
pany, and Robert Hamilton, its presi-
dent, and then killed himself with the
same weapon. A second revolver, load
ed in every chamber, was found in Tur-
ner's pocket, and it is believed he
planned to take more lives than he did.
The shooting was caused by quarrel
between the three men over an alleged
shortage in Turner's accounts. The
tragedy occurred in the Offices of the
law firm of Cantor, Adams & Mcintyre,
In the heart of the Wall street district,
during the busy noon hour.

WOMAN SLAIN.
Mutilnted Body Is Found in n Room

to Murder

Chicago, Oct. 22.-With deep gashes
about her head and her fingers lacerat-
ed in manner that indicated she had
engaged in desperate struggle, the
body of Miss Celia Conrad, also known
IN the neighborhood of her home as
Mary Connors and Mary Nichols, was
found in her rooms at 231 West Ran

ance of the remains the woman had

the police say, is an engineer at the
Douglas park pavilion and friend of
the dead woman, is being detained at
the Desplaines street police station
pending an investigation. There is no

with the murder. Thomas Barry, an
other man known in the neighborhoca,

HANGMAN IS Baked.
Mob Mt Hempstead, Tex, Lynches Two
Negroes After They Had been
Tried and Convicted,

Hampstead, Tex, Oct. 22.-After be-
ing tried in legal form and procedure
for criminal assault and murder and
Jim Wesley and Reddick Barton, ne
groes, were late Tuesday afternoon
taken from the authorities of this
city and lynched in the public square
by an Infatuated mob. The district
judge on Monday asked the governor
for militia to accompany the negroes
here from the Jail at Houston. where
they were safe. At the request of a
large number of citizens of Hemp
stead, who, it is said, signed written
promise to aid the authorities in pre-
venting any mob law, Judge Thomp-
son Tuesday morning countermanded
his request and the troops did not ac-
company the negroes.
Barton was first tried. He pleaded
guilty to criminal assault and then to
the murder of Mrs. Susan Lewis, aged
63, Sunday, October 10. The juries i'll
each case, on which were several ne
groes, promptly returned yerdicts as
sessing the death penalty. During the
afternoon Wesley was put on trial. He
pleaded guilty to assault and then to
the murder charge. While his trial
was proceeding mob broke into the
court room and attempted to take him,
it having been ascertained that the
sheriff had asked for troops. The mob
was dispersed, however, and the trial
proceeded, the state putting through
its testimony hurriedly in corrobora-
assessed the death penalty.
The officers of the court sat about
the room at the conclusion of the trial,
awaiting the coming of the militia
when there was sudden movement on
thepart of severalmen in the room; the
sheriff was overpowered and Wesley
was taken in possession by the mob
and hurried away. Another portion of
the mob, while this was going on, at
tackled the Jail, where Barton had been
taken when his trial was over, and the
prisoner was surrendered TO them
without struggle. The two prison.
ers were hustled to the public square
and there executed by hanging.
Neither of them had been sentenced,
although District Judge Thompson had
positively refused to permit them to
waive the 80 days of grace allowed
them by law. The suggestion to burn
the negroes met with small favor. 1t
was the general desire that they die
quickly. They are hanging to the arm
of telephone pole, where only last
month another negro murderer had
been strung up by mob.
The town is quiet Sheriff Lipscomb
was badly injured i'll the back by the
rough treatment of the mob. During
the first rush shot was accidentally
fired and Sheriff Sparks, efL Lee county,
was wounded in the stomach, though
not seriously. The governor was in
formed of the lynching, but has yet had
nothing to say.

COAL PRODUCTION.
Normal Output of Mines
liz Reached.

Philadelphia, Oct. 22.-It is not like
ly that the normal production of coal
will be mined for several months. Of
ficials of the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal G. Iron company estimate pro-
duction of $4,000 tons next week and
100000 tons the following week. The
companies daily output under normal
conditions is 100000 tons. An official
of the company said: 1.-The total out
put for all districts, taken on an av-
erage, is approximately 100000 tons
per month. A state of idleness at the
mines for five months means a short
age in the supply of 22.50O,0OO tons,
and it will take several months before
this can be regained under the most
favorable circumstances"

CROP REPORT OF WORLD.
out the Countries of Eu-
rope and Asia,

Washington, Oct. 1s.-The depart
ment of agriculture's summary Oh
the crops of the world shows tha$s
owing to the remarkably cool and
wet summer experienced throughout
a considerable part of Europe, the
harvest of 1902 is one of the latest
on record. The promise of an abun-
dant yield, therefore, has been only
partly fulfilled in Europe, allowing
for grain gathered in damaged con-
dition and for that actually spoiled.
In the case of bread grains there
will be demand among millers, in
the countries SO suffering, for good,
dry grain to mix with the home
product.
The semi-official Russian estimate
makes the wheat, rye, barley and
oats crop of that country not only
larger than in 1901, but exceeding the
average for the five years 1s96-19Oo.
Throughout about four-fifths of
the German empire harvesting was
delayed by frequent rains and there
was still much grain in the fields in
the middle of September. The Aus
trian official figures for September
Is say that wheat and barley are
good, average crops while rye is only
medium to good medium.
From Hungary the official report
for September Is received at the de-
partment here shows that maize has
suffered from drought in some dis
rio "a r,1o tc
and in others the grain ripened be-
fore the ears attained normal de-
velopment.
The Roumanian wheat crop is Of
fcially estimated as the best in
many years.
The French ministry of agricul-
ture has issued preliminary report
giving the wheat production of
France as 352,ooO,ooo bushels, an in
crease of over IS per cent. over 1901.
The crops in Belgium are stated to
be comparatively satisfactory.
In Great Britain the area under
wheat cultivation is 25,5os acres
greater than in 1901. The recent
weather throughout Great Britain
mas 6iedeiy AciPed ltS farmers IN
completing their belated harvests.
Harvesting is progressing favorably
in Denmark. Rye and wheat are of
normal yield and good quality. The
wheat crop of Italy, according to
present indications, will be APP
proximately 13o,ooo.ooo bushels. The
recent rains in Argentine entirely
saved the crops and it is expected
that the yields will exceed last year
by over 40 per cent.
Wheat areas in Australia have
been helped by heavy rains. General
ly favorable reports of coming crops
have been received from all provinces
of India. The rice crop of Japan, hurt
by the wet summer, probably will
be below the average.
The official estimate of Spain is
that that country will have the lar
gest wheat crop for many years and
will have considerable surplus for
expectation.
