RISE IN MONEY MARKET
BANK OF ENGLAND'S GOLD RE.
SERVE Is VERY LOW.
RAISED The DISCOUNT RATE
During the Past Nine Months the
United States Has With.
drawn Sixty Millions.

London, Oct. 12.-Although tle Eank
of England has seldom in the past
raised its discount rate as high as 5
per cent, the advance to that figure
Thursday had little effect on the mar
ket, as had been generally anticipat-
ed. The last occasion Of the per
cent rate was during the period when
the money market was feeling most
acutely the effects Of the expenditure
due to the South African war.
Thursdays advance, however, came
from purely outside causes. During
the past nine months the United
States has taken $60,000,000 in gold
from the bank, to which must now be
added the strong demands for gold
from Egypt to finance the cotton crop,
and the advance of the discount rate
of the Imperial Bank Of Germany.
During the past week the Bank of
England lost over $10,O00,000 through
Withdrawals, and, consequently, the
gold reserves was so low as to require
protective measures.

FLIGHT SAVED SLAYER
SHERIFF SAFELY JAIlS MURDER
Err OF AN ENTIRE FAMILY.
PLACED IN SPRINGFIELD JAIL
Youth Who Shoots Man and Clubs a
Woman and Three Children to
Death, Saved From Mob.

Springfield, Mo-, Oct. 15.-Sherif
Woods, of Texas county, at the head
of twenty deputies, heavily armed,
safely landed his prisoner, Joseph
Hamilton, selfconfessed slayer of the
Parsons family, at Licking, Mo, at
Cabool, after a thrilling nights ride
of % miles across the Ozark noun
tains, frustrating the efforts of g mob
which had gathered to lynch the muir
derer.
At Cabool the sheriff placed his
prisoner on the Kansas City Limited
No. 206, bound for Memphis, and
brought him to Springfield.
Fearing an outbreak in this city,
where the story of the crime had
become known, Sheriff Wood and his
deputies took the prisoner off the car
on the side away from the station
platform and spirited him to a car
riage which had been driven up into
the rear yards. Hamilton was driven
in a roundabout way TO the Jail and
lodged in a cell at 4:45 o'clock Mon
day morning.
Story of the Crime.
At timber-bordered place in the
road, as Parsons and his family were
driving along, they were confronted by
Hamilton, armed with shotgun. De-
aiming at Parsons, Hamilton
discharged both barrels of the gun,
and Parsons fell to the ground. Ham
ilton then advanced upon him, and
him over the head with the
butt of the gun several times. He then
beat the head of the mother almost to
a pulp, and after killing her, clubbed
the three children to death. The
body of all five were loaded into a
wagon, and taken to Big Piney creek,
about one mile distant from the scene
of the murder, and dumped into the

DISAPPEARED ON EVE
OF OKLAHOMA SPEECH

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct 15.-
Sam Jones had been holding revival
services in the Tabernacle in this city
for the past two weeks. He was to
have addressed audiences Sunday but
1t developed early in the day that he
had disappeared.
Although vigorous search was made
for him, nothing was learned as to
the whereabouts of the evangelist un-
til news was received of his death on
train near Little Rock.
Sam Jones' Career.
Samuel Porter Jones. the most ia
nous evangelist of his time, was born
in Chambers county, Alabama, OctO-
ber 16, 1847. He was the son of Capt
John J. and Jennie (Porter) Jones.
When he was II years old he was
removed to Gainesville, Ga, where
he was educated under private tutors
and at boarding schools.
After the civil war he studied law,
was admitted to the bar in 1889 and
began to practice his profession with
bright hopes of success, but his in
temperate habits ruined his health
and terminated his career as a law
yer.
After the death of his father in 1872,
he reformed and, having professed re-
ligion, became a clergyman OF the
Methodist Episcopal church, South.
He held various charges in the
North Georgia conference during 1872
so, and for the following II years
served as agent for the Decatur Or
phans' home, which he helped to es-
tablish.
Mr.. Jones devoted a great deal of
his time to evangelistic work over
the country. Since 1892 he had held
remarkably successful revival meet
ings in most of the larger cities Of
the United States, lecturing in the
summer months from the platforms
of the leading Chautauqua assemblies.
AS an eloquent speaker and draw
ing card, William J. Bryan was his
only rival before the public.
Sam Jones was famed for his pun
gent wit, drollery and fearlessness Of
expression. No speaker Of his time
was capable of investing trite sub
jects with such new meaning, or of
making his addresses strikingly pic
turesque His sayings and aphorisms,
crisp and pointed, were widely quot
ed, and grew to be household words.
