\ detective out of a Job and look
ing for something easy can find di
rections at the police station that
will put him in a way to earn at
least the gratitude of the good citi-
zens of North Henderson, Mercer
county.
There is letter at the station da-
ted at North Henderson, and signed
by G. ii. ThrOpe, stating that there
are good grounds for the belief that
there are a couple of bookkeeping
establishment down his way and
that the authorities are DESTROYS of
securing the service of a bright and
active detective to trip them up.
The states attorney of Mercer
county is said to have indicated that
he is perfectly willing to prosecute
if he can get the evidence, and the
writer appears to think that that
would he an easy thing for the right
sort of man to accomplish. The
chief of the Rock Island police is
asked for terms upon which he will
send man down TO do the work.
Apparently Mr.. Thorpe is not very
well posted on current events or he
would not make that sort of re-
quest just at the present time.

Was the Melodrama Gypsy Jack
at opera House Last Night.
Fairly Good House witnessed the.
Performance.

" =
One of the blood.thirstiest melo-
dramas that has ever been witnessed
in this city, appeared at the Traders
Grand opera house last evening. The
title of the play was Gypsy Jack"
There were about fourteen or fifteen
characters in the cast at curtain-rise,
but before the play was half finished,
over half of the original number were
murdered by the villain.
Gypsy Jacks" old grandmother
died under piece of folded burlap in
front of wood scene drop, and she
didn't make any bones about 1T either.
Before dying she reveals to Gypsy Jack
that he is the son of Sir John Drextel,
who has a prettylniece, lots of money
and big estate. During the different
acts Gypsy Jack struts In. oncthe stage,
turns his chin up. to the gallery gods,
and throws out a few axioms in regard
to the philosophy Of things in general.
Then the villain runs in, does some
bloody work, kills two or three more
persons, and the curtain falls with
Gypsy Jack to the rescue, the villain
lying on the floor with Gypsy Jacks
foot in his face. There is curate in
the play, too, and he fails In love with
the niece. He gets shot through the
heart the second scene Of the second
act, and comes up smiling in front of
the next drop. The villain steals
money, does two or three more MUIR
ders, and gets misses galore from the
gallery gods. Gypsy Jack falls in love
with the curate's sister. The villain
kidnaps the niece and the last act
winds up with the kidnapped girl in a
cave, a murder or two, fight, another
murder or SO, and the lovers embrac-
ing.
It's great play, and it ought to be
named after Nick Carter. A fairly
good audience was present.

FURTHER DECLINE
 IN STOCK MARKET
BIG SLUMP IN AMALGAMATED COPPER CAUSES HOLDERS TO THROW SHARES ovERBoARo AT ANY PRICE.

New York July 2s.-There was further decline in the stock market today the in- dnstrials being the most affected but the railway list, including a number or hign grade issues, suffered In sympathy A number of causes contributed to today s break In addition to adverse crop re- ports and further wild speculation in cot ton. a building trade failure created a feeling of alarm.
 The break of 5A points in amalgamated cooper is rather more far-reaching than Is generally supposed Much of the stock was purchased outright at prices fully 90 points above today quotations and the shrinkage today was as a last straw to many holders Large quantities of copper were thrown overheard at practically any price that was offered. Boston, ac- cordinE to all accounts, kas forced to let go at least 20,000 shares. and the same doubtless applies in lesser degree to numerous other places. Sales of amalga- mated copper aggregated over S3,0OO shares out of a total today's business of 65O0OO shares.
 Some new low records were registered today. The list embraces, besides copper, United States Realty, Colorado Fuel, Ten nessee Coal and Rock Island common.
 This by no means covers the ground. Net declines of 2 to points were numer- ous.

 AT THE BIER OFLEO
NEGROES DEPLORE
 DEATH OF GEN CLAY
PASS RESOLUTIONS EXPRESSING APPRECIATION OF HIS ATTl- TUDE TOWARD SLAVERY IN THE
 SIXTIES AND AID TO FREEDMEN

St. Louis, July 2s.-Routine business in the nature of various committees occu- pied the days session of the national grand lodge of the United Brothers of Friendship, a negro organization. The most important event of the day was the unanimous adoption of the following resolution on the recent death of Gen. Cassius NJ. Clay.
 Whereas the great originator of hu- man fate has seen fit to remove from this life Gen. Cassius Marcellus Clay one who in days when the negro was recognized as only fit for chattel, al- though a southerner. liberated his slaves and hurled his lance into the arena of public debate, asking no quarter, fear ing no foe, suffering ostracism and ca- lumny and even personal dishonor arr encountered in the pursuit of what he believed to be just and right for the ne gro and freedom: therefore, be 1t
 Resolved. That we. while as fra- ternity and race, who have reaped untold benefits as result of his efforts and others of his class, who had the moral courage to light the fires of abolition prior to the sixties, which have redound- ed with such beneficent effect to us as a a'race, we bow our heads in humble sub- mission to the divine decree. and join with friends and relatives in mourning at his bier"
 National Grandmaster w. A. Gaines of eovington, Ky, was reelected.
