Kate Hassett, leading woman In the
stock company at Keith's Eighth
Street Theater in Philadelphia, was
shot through the heart and instantly
killed by Barry tombstone, late OF
Richard Mansfeld's company.
tombstone then turned the pistol
upon himself and lodged two bullets
above his heart that will probably
cause his death. The motive for the
crime was jealousy.
tombstone lost his position with
Mansfield few days ago and went
direct to Philadelphia. He lay in
wait for Miss Hassett at the stage
door Of the theater and followed her
block after she left.
Suddenly he sprung upon her as she
passed under an electric light, and
shouting "You are not true to me"

 NEW YORK, April s.-Some disappontment was expressed by the trade this morning both at the showing made by Liverpool and the opening apathy of the local market in the face of radically reduced receipts. particularly as 1t is now quite generally believed that the reduction in the movement can hardly he credited to bad weather South. It is highly probable that this disposition recently observed on the part of smaller operators to transfer their opera tions into the new crop months and the consequent liquidation of the nearby posi- tions have had much to do with the decreasing premiums of the Summer months and the time is in fact rapidly approaching when news of the next crop will exert powerful influence upon the future markets. Of course there still is a powerful long interest In the Summer months and these holders are appa- rently perfectly willing to allow even this to take their course until they expect an even more radical falling off in the movement shall include a short scare when tt is argued they will be enabled to sell the shorts back their own contracts at largely increased values. The light estimates for Houston tomorrow helped the market. Toward noon there was considerable covering said to originate from some of the more important bear interests. AL together. the market looked decidedly better and local bulls are expressing themselves much more confident.
