SWEPT OVER ST. LOUIS.
One Man Killed, One Fatally In
jured and Seven Hurt.


St Louis, Mo-, Aug. 5.-One of the
heaviest storms of the year and of
brief duration, swept over St. Louis
this afternoon. The furious wind tore
through the Worlds Fair grounds, kill
ing Theodore Richter, a florist; prob
ably fatally injuring A. r. Clark, a

the force of a gale.

folding were hruled to the ground. The
odore Richter, florist from Kirkwood

TREATY TO SETTLE
ANGL0-FRENCH TROUBLES.
Discussed by French Diplomat with
Foreign Minister.

discussed by French Diplomat with
Foreign Minister.
Paris, Aug. 5-Baron D'Estournelles
de Constant, who headed the French
parliamentary arbitration group on it's
recent visit to London, has written
an important letter to Foreign Minis
ter Delcasse, setting forth the results
of the recent exchanges of views in
London and Paris between members
of the British and French Parhaments
and the leading ministers of the two
governments.
The conferences included those with
Foreign Minister Lansdowne and CO.
lonlal Secretary Chamberlain, and
there is good reason to believe that
Baron D'Estournelles, in the references
he makes in his letter to the conclu-
sion of an arbitration treaty for the
settlement of the outstanding Anglo
French difficulties, has the distinct APP
prevail of those controlling Great Brit
aims foreign policy. while his sugges-
ton for a reduction of naval force is
due entirely to the initiative of the
leading members of the British minis
try.
The new policy has three essential
objects: First, the conclusion of a rea-
sonable arbitration treaty similar to
that negotiated between Great Britain
and the United States, and in accord
ance with Clause 10 of The Hague in
ternational arbitration convention; sec
ond, a reduction in the overwhelming
naval expenses, in agreement with
France and Russia concerning which
the Baron claims to have received
categorical verbal and written assur-
ances; third, a friendly settlement of

tinued at CynthiRna.
Cynthiana. KY, Aug. Sin the Jett-
White trial to-day the defense placed
Mrs. Lula South, a sister of Judge
Hargis on the witness stand. Her
testimony was contradictory of that OF
Miss Emma Clark, who testified for
the commonwealth last Friday. Mrs.
South corroborated other witnesses for
the defense in placing Curtis Jet near
the tree in the Court House yard after
the firing of the first shot.
Judge James Hargis was placed on
the stand. He said he saw Even
running and Marcum fall, and saw
Curtis Jett on the street corner near
a tree after the shooting.
Judge Hargis was cross-examined by
Mr.. Byrd. In reply to a question as
to why he stood by Jet, his nephew
when they did not speak to each other.
Hargis said Jett was not tried right
by being brought to court by fifty sol
diers and a Calling gun.
On being pressed for another rea-
son, Hargis stated that Jetts mother,
who was his elder sister, had cared
for him during the war when his
father had been chased away by Fed
eral soldiers, and that as an honest
man he now wanted to repay that debt
with interest.

posing All Mob Inv.
Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. 5,-Sev-
eral important resolutions were
adopted by the American Federation
of Catholic Societies at the closing ses-
sion to-day after which officers were
elected. The next meeting will be held
in St. Louis.
The first resolution condemned peace
feuds, riots and mob law as unworthy
of civilized people. Lynching is re-
garded as murder. and the burning
and torture of people, even when clear
ly guilty, as barbarous and menace
to the peace and security of all good
citizens. All Catholics were enjoined
to exert an influence to spread in the
community sound opinions against
such a vagary.
The federation also protested against
the action of the French government
in attempting to legalze religious per-
secutions and asking Catholics to en-
deavor to wrest the government from
those who have misused the powers
entrusted to them.
The convention pledged cooperation
and support of Catholic Indian schools,
also to exclude from public libraries
books that are offensive or erroneous
in the treatment of Catholic doctrines
and practices and to supply standard
works on the subject
The officers elected were: Presi-
dent. Thomas B. Mnahan. Columbus,

FIRM OF BANKERS
RAIDED BY POLICE.
Members Are Charged with Grand
Larceny.

New York, Aug. 5-The police to-
day raided the offices of Daniels & Co,
arresting Daniels and OBTAINING all
employees in the offices Five prison
ers were taken. They are Thomas P.
Daniels, the alleged head of the firm;
Elisha Caldwell, who claimed to be
the attorney for the firm; Richard
Woods, who said he was formerly the
representative of the firm in Boston,
John Avery, an employe, and Samuel
r. Bullock, who said he was the con-
tractor for the firm. The firm de-
scribed themselves as bankers and I'M
derwriters.
The warrants were issued on the
specific complaint of Edwin E. Col
Inns of Cedar Rapids, Ia, that he had
lost $3.50 through the firm. Collins told
the police, however, that he had given
almost a thousand dollars to the firm
and had never received a penny from
them in return.

the prosecutor saying the lawyer had
nothing to do with the firm. Daniels
was held in $4,000 bail and the re-

people at the next election provided
1t passes the House.
The General Judiciary Committee of

ably a similar bill, and it is believed
the House will pass it. 1t is designed
to relieve the Supreme COUNT from a
large amount of the business that now

For Georgia Exhibit.
Georgia will expend 10000 on her
exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Elk
position. The Senate to-day passed
the resolution providing for such an
exhibit by a vote of "a to 10. The
original resolution, as it passed the
House, carried an appropriation of
$50. 900. The Senate Committee cut
the amount to 10000.
Gov. Terrell was opposed to an APP
preparation of $4,000, believing that
too much money to take from the
Treasury at this time. In view of
the fact that transportation for the
exhibit can be secured free of cost,
and that the state already has on
hand valuable exhibit in the Capitol,
1t was thought the smaller amount
would be amply sufficient. Since the
$50, 900 appropriation received SO votes
in the House there is no doubt about
that body passing the reduced amount
by a majority of a quorum.

Since there are 80 many Catholics

of Catholics, which, in many Instances,
deprive the negro of an opportunity

Lose Naval Game.
Portland, Me-. Aug. 6! lat midnight
last night, that portion of the New
England coast from the British bound
airy to Cape Ann had been theoreti-
cally threatened by hostile fleet for
a period of twelve hours, but so far
as known the enemy" had not taken
advantage of the northeast storm, and
thick weather to slip past the defend
ing fleet, and establish himself in any
harbor.
The attacking fleet had been at sea
for about three days and will have
till Saturday to win the game planned
by the naval experts in Washington,
by occupying any harbors on this por-
ton of the coast for a period of five
hours without being discovered.
1t is expected that the attacking
fleet will head for some of the many
harbors to the eastward of this port,
as those to the westward, especially
to the New Hampshire and Massachus-
etts coast, are comparatively few.

shares.
Firms That Failed.
The failure of Sharp & Bryan CIV.
w. Sharp and c. S. Bryan, excited
general sympathy as these men are
members of the board and popular on
the Stock Exchange. Mr. Bryan is a
member of the governors of the eX-
change. The firm was organized in
1891. They were specialists in sew
eral stocks, more particularly in Vir-
ginia-Carolina Chemical and their
failure is regarded as directly attribu-
table to the decline in those shares.
During last years boom Chemical pre-
terred sold as high as 1S47s. and the
common at so. They closed to-day at
SO, and 23A respectively.
According to the statement of the
assignee, Sharp e Bryans liabilities
are about $5,OO0.000, mostly secured.
Assets are said to include several mill
lion dollars of stock Exchange secur-
tiles, the value of Which is almost
altogether contingent on market con-
ditions.
The firm of Hurlbutt, Hatch & Co.,
(John Henry HurlHutt, e. Sanford
Hatch, the board member, and ]. F'rail-
ey SMITH, was organized In September
1899. Their financial embarrassment
has been a matter of general comment
in the street for some weeks. No
statement regarding their affairs was
obtainable to-day. An assignment was
made to Henry B. Ketcham, a lawyer
of the firm of Reid, Esselstyn &
Ketcham.
Sharp & Bryan were .rominent in
operations on the curb. There were
specialists there in American Bridge,
Northern Securities and Sea board
shares The firm offered large blocks
of Seaboard shares for sale on the curb
yesterday. The greater part of Sharp
q Bryan's obligations on the exchange
were liquidated yesterday and several
banks and trust companies threw out
their loans. In fact the greater part
of yesterdays liquidation on the ex-
change was for Sharp & Bryan's ac-
count.
Assignee Made Statement.
Mr.. Cromwell, counsel for the as
sdgnee of Sharp e. Bryan made the fol-
lowing statement:
The firm made the general assign
ment for the purpose of insuring equal
lty among it's creditors without prefer
ence. The cause is directly attrihuta-
bic to the sudden and extreme shrink
age in the market value of the secur1-
ties of the firm. The liabilities, mostly
secured, are about $5.000,000. The value
OF the assets comprising almost exolu-
siVely stock exchange securities to the
amount of several million dollars. is
dependent on market conditions. Most
of the creditors recognizing that pres
ent conditions are short lived, are very
fairly and wisely withholding their Sc
curities from sale"
An unofficial statement was made to
the effect that the firm had no open
contracts in the market, and at to-
days prices there was still fair mar
gin on their loans 1t was added that
If prices did not decline further the
firm would be able to Iiquidate It's as
sets on a satisfactory basis.
