STOCK.

Wall Street, New York. May A.
The market took ON new life today
and showed more strength than IL has
for some time past. The midsummer
dullness which bad settled on the mar.
ket during the past two weeks gave
way and the general trend Of prices
were considerably higher, even though
trading was not on very heavy scale.
The crop damage reports from the
west were the latest feature and they
contributed TO the inactivity. We
hardly think the damage will turn out
10 be serious and when this passes
away the market should do better.
The bank statement was considered "a
vorsble. but there IL some fear ex.
pressed that gold shipments in fairly
good quantities seems probably in the
near future. l.. and N. Is earning
better than 10 per cent. Forty three
roads for the third week In April show
gross increase Of 1898 per cent.
sixty-two roads for March show an
average net increase OF 1871 per cent.
Banks have gained from sub-treasury
6ince Friday last ESQ, 900. The expect
cd TrAnsvsal loans will DO in the form
OF 8.4 per cent bonds, issued at 95.
Town Topics financial bureau gives
out the following; while there may
be some hesitancy in the stock market
on account Of the nearness of gold ex-
port, developments operate for i'm
provements. b. II. T. is ready to ad-
vance at any time and the same may

should have some further reaction and
on such reactions we deem it sdvisa-
BILE to buy wheat, for everyone knows
that -four is the cheapest food in the
world today. Labor has twice the
earning power it had is years ago
when flour was so per cent higher
than II is today and we believe on that

though this crop will average as high
as the last one or higher.

Kills Constable and a Preacher
He Had Under Arrest,
The "sanotified" Divine Had Incurred
the Wrath of His Neighbors
by His Conduct.
KILLED IN ooNsTABLE's HOUSE

Charlottesville, Mo-, May 4-Con-
stable W. j. Moonehon and his prison
or, "Rev." ID. NJ. Malone. living at
wardell, twelve miles west Of here,
were murdered Saturday night by an
armed mob in disguise. The sheriff,
J. A. franklin, has clue to some
members Of the mob, and great excite
ment prevails throughout the country.
The cause Of the tragedy embraces
the most sensational and exciting
events OF any crime ever committed in
the state. Rev" d. f. Malone was
one Of the "sanotihed" preachers who
have infested the country for some
time. Malone was about 80 years old
and had recently become enamoured
Of a grass widow, Mrs. Mary Frill,
whom he converted TO his faith. The
two travelled and preached together,
living as man and wife. Over this the
legal wife, Mrs. Alice Malone, became
greatly troubled. and the preacher de-
cided to get rid Of her by claiming
that she was crazy. Accordingly she
was brought to this city and placed in
jail.
DEFIED THE OFFICER.
A warrant was issued for Malone
and the woman, Mary Frill, for living
together unlawfully, and Constable
Mooneyhon went to arrest the people
last Wednesday. Malone came to the
door with Winchester and revolver
and dc fed the officer, saying: 81 live
under the laws Of grace, not men, and
will not be taken alive" Constable
Mooneyhon went away, but returned
and arrested the parties Saturday. 10
was too late 10 bring them to this city
and the constable carried the man and
woman TO his residence. 10 be brought
here Sunday. At II O'Clock Saturday
night someone called to the officer and
when he went TO the door to see what
was wanted he was shot without warn
ing. The mob then swarmed into the
house. seized the preacher, dragged
him into the hall and shot him dead.
RIDDED WITH BULLETS.
They dragged the body of the
preacher into the woods and riddled
IL with bullets. They left the body
OF Mooneyhon where II had fallen.
Mooneyhon's wife and several neigh
bon were in the room at the time, but
none Of them WAS molested. A mob
had been trying to get the "sancti.
fed" preacher for several days, but IL
is mystery why they shot the officer
who had him in charge. Mrs. Frill
was brought in yesterday and placed
in Jail. She saw the tragedy and re.
ports IL as here given. She denies
guilty relations with the parson and
says that she herself is q preacher and
that the two did missionary work to-
gether. She is 30 years old and has &
living husband. The scene of the
tragedy is in wild part CT the ooun-
try. The sheriff and posse will go out
today, when further developments are
expected.

Paducah Ball Team Loses Twice
To Henderson.
First Game Lost By Narrow Score
Second Game Lost in Ten Innings
on Lloyd's wildness.
GAME PLAYED YESTERDAY

The Paducah professional K. l. 4.
league team has twice met defeat at
the hands Of the Henderson league
team, once Saturday and again yester-
day. The local team has had little
practice but gave the Hendersons q
hard game.
On Saturday afternoon the first
game was played and Henderson won
by score of 10 to ., Murray being
shut out at the home plate on a close
decision. This would have tied the
score and necessitated ten inning or
more game had Murray been declared
safe.
Yesterday afternoon the second
game was played and Henderson was
again victorious by a score Of II to 9,
ten inings being played. The Paducah
team lost on Pitcher Lloyd's wildness.
Lloyd pitched the entire game and
Kenney caught. Paducah made no
errors but Henderson got three. Pa
ducsh played perfect ball except from
Lloyd's wildness. This was his first
game and little was expected Of him.
The Sterlings" defeated the "Cen-
trails" yesterday afternoon at the Illi-
nois Central shop grounds by score
Of 80 to II. There was great deal
of bad playing ON both sides but the
Oentrals made the most errors.
Lotion Plumlee pitched for tn" ster-
lings" and pitched an excellent game.
Crate pitched the first part of the
game for the Centrals and was bstted
out of the box. The other Central
pitchers were put in and also batted
heavily. The Sterlings showed them
selves much the superior and won
with ease. Manager Robiou claims the
team was a picked one but only one
extra player was in the lineup and he
was Plumlee, the pitcher. There was
large crowd out TO witness the
sport. Henry Dicke umpired the game
with much satisfaction. The CentrSls
lay the cause of the defeat to the new
arrangement of the players, several
having been placed in new positions.
The Paducah professionals will leave
Henderson today and arrive here to-
morrow. They will play here this
week and will meet Henderson again
during carnival week at home. Man
ager Sam jackson stated this morning
that he would have a game with Hunt
ington, Tenn, this week, probably
Wednesday or Thursday, and en- three
days during carnival week would PLAY
Henderson. He is pleased with his
team and thinks he will win the PEN
nsnt without any great trouble. The
boys have had little practice yet put
up as stiff a game in both instances as
Henderson, making fewer errors.
Murphysbcro, Ill. will probably play
here within week or two and the
home team will remain here for two
weeks.
