.HlNE IS A SUICIDE.
coroner's Jury So Finds in
Case of Body Found at
Port Byron.
HAD BEEN MISSING A WEEK
Preparations for Drowning Made in
Most Deliberate Man
ner.

The jury that examined into the
death of Joseph Hine, the Clinton
man whose remains were found in
the river at Port Byron yesterday,
was composed of Frank Z. Rogers,
John Schafer, Jr.. \. G. Brewster, Jul
Illus Linke,. j. NJ. Bruner and y. H.
Wendt. The verdict was that death
had been caused by drowning in the
Mississippi river.
Hine left home Tuesday of last
week, and according to information
received from Clinton, there is little
doubt that he committed suicide.
This theory is also borne out by the
manner in which the weights were
tied TO the body.

Deliberate Preparations.

The preparations for the drowning
were evidently made in the most de-
liberate manner. 1t is believed that
Hine took n skiff, loaded in his
weights and rope, and went out into
the middle of the stream. The rope
was tied about his body with knots
enough to hold it till doomsday, and
after it had been attached to the
stones wedges had been whitfield out
and driven in to prevent the loops
from becoming loose and slipping. 1t
was evidently the intention IF the
man to sink once for all and remain
at the bottom of the stream till
some remote geological period.

THE SUMMER MAN OF 1902
Kind of -You-PIease In Masculine
Fashion.


Fashion.
The summer man this year is not
gorgeous. He does not show many
novelties. There is kind of go-as-
you please in the fashions. This
promotes originality and gives the
short man, the stout man, or the tall
man more latitude in his choice of
clothing.
There is little to say about the hats.
Much has already been written about
the Panama. The truth of the mat
ter is that the real Panama is so
expensive that, once having been
purchased the wearer will make it
the fashion for many years. The
lmItations-even the best of them
are so unlike the real article that it
Is doubtful whether they can con-
tinue in vogue. Next to an automo-
bile-or to be smart, a motor car
the most expensive belonging is
real Panama hat. Some have been
shown at $500 and others at 800.
The SIS are all very well until one
sees the 500 product-thcn, as a man
said recently You feel as cheap as
30 cents
they can spare 500 for a hat are
wearing the fiat, smooth straws.
They have an ordinary wide and fiat
brim, and are low in crown. There
are a few English straw hats with
narrow brims. Not many of these
are in vogue, as it takes a man with
Il long face to wear them. Other
wise they look like a button on the
top of Il mans head, a reminder of
the Great Paniandrum.
One fashion, however, is prevalent.
Trousers are loose and wide. The
latest from English tailors bag and
float in the breeze. When made of
ordinary heavy material, or even OF
serges and homespuns and some
quality of fiannels they are not bad.
but stout man in a light gray suit
with loose trousers is n ludicrous
sight.
Blue serges and flannels have come
again into popular favor.
There is no doubt but that wash
able waistcoats will be worn much
this summer. The most fashionable
haberdashers are displaying them in
their windows, and already many of
them are to be seen in the getup of
men who are considered the best
dressed. Brown is coming back. but
in homespuns. 1t is n combination
more of white and brown.
In fact, waistcoats are being made
not only of linen proper, but of crash
or madras even, and any light mater
ial. They will be the only conces
sions to bright colorings, and as they
are in whites. in tans and in indefi
mite green's and blues, they are not
gorgeous. The patterns are in lines
up and down, usually of black and
thin. Checks will not be worn.
There are no novelties yet in shirt
ings. The plated shirts are worn
this summer for negligee. but not in
as great numbers as those with plain
bosoms. Many negligee shirts of
white figured goods are popular.
Browns, olives and lilacs are shown
and white with black stripes and
figures. In fact the black stripe,
however, narrow-smartest.
There is no demand for flannel or
silk shirts. Collars are all-round
turn down of medium height. AS
the summer progresses the Ascot will
be discarded entirely and the most
popular and most fashionable cravat-
ing will be the long narrow four-in-
hand.

woman understands the

GAINESVILLE. Ca, April 1.-THE
trials of Charley Pinkle and Harve Slower
charged with raping and numbering Mrs.

day. The last named was tried last and

violence, were spirited away on the af-
ternoon vestfbule train to, Atlanta.
There was some talk of lynching and
SheriT Gilmer thought Il best to hurry
them of to Atlanta at a time none ex-
pecting IL. The evidence against these
young men was all circumstantial, and
for that reason only they were recon-
mended TO the mercy Of the court so that
perchance they might be innocent they
could be pardoned.
The crime was a horrible one and the
guiltyAOnes deserved hanging. but as all
the evidence was purely circumstantial
the juries that tried them gave them the
full benefit OF all doubt in their minds.
The crime was committed on the 18th day
OF March and so great was the indigna-
tlon of the people that Judge Estes was
petitiOned to call a special term Of the
court TO give them a speedy trial. These
boys were found drunk at the house where
the old lady was found dead. but each in

he went to sleep and that they did not

Grain and PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, April 12.-Early speculation in
grains today had a decidedly bullish trend.
Rains in the growing wheat country were suf-
hcient at the opening to knock prices on a
little, but at once the very firm cables and the
growing bullish sentiment in the southwestern
markets turned the tables on the bears and
short accounts had to be covered. May wheat
started A1%c to B@Ac lower at 72%4721sc,
The dip, however, only momentary and
Nav surged upward until ii sold at 1850 Liqui-
dalton eased the market later, but the prices
hung firmly around 73G73Mc. Local receipts
were light at 2S cars, of contract grade.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 1853 cars, max
ing a total for the three points of lS6 cars,
against 252 last week and 27S year ago.
Corn performed the same antics early as did
wheat Although cables strong May
opened &c higher to unchanged at 59Ss4599sc
and there was tendency to sell short But
the southwest strong and receipts conun-
ufed very small at 63 cars. The country started
buying. and aided by the wheat strength. May
corn shot UP to 60ssc.
Oats were firm. but somewhat quiet early.
Corn was the influence, though offerings in
May were readily taken. May started &c up at
42lkc and sold between AZ and 42Ac. Receipts
were 1859 cars.
Provisions were quiet but very firm early.
Hogs were scarce at the yards and estimates
continued to arouse fears of shortage Inc
grain bulge also aided in a small upturn. July
options were most active. May pork opened &C
higher at $3.50; May lard shade up at So 61lz
69.70 and sold to $9.72h and May ribs I'M
changed at S. 971k and advanced to $9.O215.
