her room at the Carleton Hotel The

three weeks and it is supposed she came
from Spencer Mass She was a decided

freely She had rented a safety deposit
box at the State Bank of Florida and in
it were found a considerable sum of money
valuable jewels and a watch
When the pistol shot sounded Manager

letters were found one addressed to
Manager Koon and the other to Under
taker Tyler The letter to Mr Koon
read
If I am not quite dead when you ar
rive dont call a doctor or disarrange
my clothing as I shall die in a few mo
ments
The letter to Undertaker Tyler gave in
structions about the coffin and funeral
Among other things she wrote
Of all places do not dare to bury me in
Mt Herraon Cemetery I would not
tolerate that I wish my coffin to be at
least six inches wider than customary
You may think four or five inches will do
It will not I insist on the coffin being
six inches wider as I do not wish to be
crowded Bury my revolver with me in
reach of my right hand It is to remain
loaded with the exception of one shot
-which I shall discharge myself My waist
is clean now and although it may become
blood stained it is not to be removed

A Railroad Sensation
Topeka Kan Western railroad cir
cles have a sensation in a second receiver
ship for the Sauta Fe The road and
equipment in Kansas has been placed in
the control of State Senator Charles F
Johnson of Oskaloosa Kan Judge Louis
Meyers of the First district made the
appointment and ordered him to take
charge of the property of the Santa Fe
Railway Company in Kansas
The action which resulted in the ap
pointment of a receiver has been brought
under the Kansas law of 1891 which pro
vides that no corporation more than 2 per
centum of whose capital stock is owned
by aliens shall acquire real estate in the
state of Kansas and that if any real
estate should be acquired in violation of
this statute it shall be forfeited to the
state
The appointment of a receiver has been
wrought about it is believed by the men
who opposed the recent reorganization
plan of the Santa Fe When the reorgan
ization was effected a meeting was held
in Topeka and the opponents of the re
organization plan headed by Henry
Clews made a strong effort to prevent it
The anti reorganization men do not show
their hands in the present litigation but
they are charged with being responsible
for it by the friends of the new oompany
Dun Co a Review
New York R G Dun Cos Week
ly Review of Trade 6ays It was not
strictly logical that wheat advanced 5c
reaching 82c for November and 85o for
December and heavy realizing of profits
showed perception of the fact Western
receipts were only 6687159 bushels
against 8019910 last year and Atlantic
exports flour inoluded were only 1588
858 against 1790833 last year
A growing disposition appears among
farmers to hold wheat for better prices
than are now realized although at pres
ent any advance checks buying for ex
port
Practically no change has appeared in
Woolens but the reported purchases of
wool including one of 11000000 pounds
of territory said to have been made by a
syndicate amounted to 18561000 pounds
against 5621350 pounds last year The
average prices rose about 4 cent in Octo
ber and since September 1104000 pounds
by Coates Bros have risen from 1216 lo
1292 cents or 68 per cent
Failures for the week have been 230 in
the United States against 280 last year
iand 52 in Canada against 49 last year
Thirteen Are Drowned
St Johns N F A marine tragedy
occurred here the other night The
schooner Maggie Capt Win Blundon
while entering this harbor with twenty
three persons aboard was struck by the
steamer Tibe Capt John De Lisle which
was steaming outward at full speed The
schooner sank from the force of the col
lision carrying down with it thirteen per
sons Four of these were women one the
wife of the captain and another his sister
A young married couple named Power
and a brother and sister of the name of
Holloway are of those drowned The
passengers were coming to St Johns to
procure their supplies for the winter be
fore navigation closed Those who es
caped were kept afloat by the aid of planks
from the schooners decks and were
picked up by the steamers boat and
brought back to the port by the pilot boat
which had the Tiber in tow The latter
continued on her voyage
Slums of Lindy Somerset
London Lady Henry Somerset has
once again comejnto public notice as the
owner or a tract of land at Somers Town
a neighborhood within the limits of the
city of London and which is covered with
old dilapidated dwellings The authori
ties have offioially declared the region a
condemned insanitary area but there
appears to be no law under which the
structures can be razed or the tenants
compelled to seek other quarters The
place has come into notice from the fact
that five inquests have been held within
the last month upon people who have
died suddenly from acoident within the
area It is not claimed that Lady Somer
set is directly responsible for existing
conditions but it is contended that in
view of her considerable wealth it would
be an easy matter for her to buy off the
present lessee of her ground and cause the
polluted buildings to be either razed or
reconstructed
Fosters Trip to China
Washington Ex Secretary John W
foster of Indiana is likely to have a great
deal to do with shaping the future policy
of the vast Chinese empire When he
sailed from San Francisco for China a
couple of weeks ago it was generally
understood among his friends nere that
he was going as the chief adviser of Li
Hung Chang the new Chinese premier
There has long been a friendship between
the two statesmen antedating the treaty
of Shimoneski when Mr Foster acted as
advisory counsel to Li Hung Chang
This treaty was in a large measure dic
tated by Mr Foster and it is said that
the Chinese viceroy then discovered how
valuable it would be to have a skilled
diplomat to advise him on all foreign
matters

Advices from Cuba
Key West Advices from Cuba give
plainer descriptions of the movements of
the insurgents than can be sent by cable
Antonio Maceo has moved to a plain coun
try on the south coast of Pinar del Rio
with the intention of making an attempt
to pass the torcha protected in the mean
time as he hopes by the insurgents at
the rear of the trocha He is at present
supposed to be at Carojal In the direction
of the swamp of Majala It is thought
probable that it will be difficult for him to
pass by the south coast to the western
portion of Pinar del Rio because Gen
Weylers columns are fortifying strategic
positions taken from the insurgents near
Pmar del Rio so as to form a strong base
of operations When once these are fin
ished Gen Weyler calculates that ho will
ue able to dispose of 10000 more men in
pursuit of Maceo and the general opinion
is that he will be able to give him a deci
sive blow

to the God of Nations for Blessings
Vouchsafed the United States
Homage to the Universal Ruler
The President Wednesday issued the
following thanksgiving proclamation
By the President of the United States
The people of the United States should
never be unmindful of the gratitude they
owe the God of nations for his watchful
care which has shielded them from disas
ter and pointed out to them the way of
peace and happiness Nor should they
ever refuse to acknowledge with contrite
hearts their proneness to turn away from
feods teachings and to follow with sin
ful pride after their own devices
i To the end that these thoughts may
be quickened it is fitting that on a day
especially appointed we should join to
gether in approaching the throne of
grace with praise and supplication
Therefore I Grover Cleveland Pres
ident of the United States do hereby des
ignate and set apart Thursday the 2Gth
day of the present month of November
to be kept and observed as a day of
thanksgiving and prayer throughout our
land
On that day let all our people forego
their usual work and occupation and as
sembled in their accustomed places oil
worship let them with one accord render
thanks to the Ruler of the Universe for
our preservation as a nation and our de
liverance from every threatened danger
for the peace that has dwelt within our
boundaries for our defense against dis
ease and pestilence during the year that
has passed for the plenteous rewards
that have followed the labors of our hus
bandmen and for all the other blessings
that have been vouchsafed to us
And let us through the mediation of
him who has taught us how to pray im
plore the forgiveness of our sins and a
continuation of heavenly favor
Let us not forget on this day of
thanksgiving the poor and needy and by
deeds of charity let out offerings of praise
be made more acceptable insthe sight of
the Lord r
Witness my hand and the seal of the
United States which I have caused to be
hereto affixed
Done at the City of Washington this
4th day of November in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
ninety six and of the independence of
the United States of America the one
hundred and twenty first

RAILROAD INTERESTS
Prospects of Great Increase of
General Traffic
Chicago railroad officials say that for
months their business has been exceed
ingly dull and earnings have been below
the dull months of the last dull year
Now a revival is looked for in freight
circles Officials predict one of the heav
iest movements of merchandise known in
many years Country merchants as well
as the jobbers in the large cities have
allowed their stocks to run down to the
minimum The movement of west bound
merchandise has been the lightest for
many years Thousands of stocks must
be replenished and country merchants
will buy heavily This means heavy
loads for the railroads and correspond
ingly heavy earnings No falling off in
the heavy east bound movement of grain
which began under the cut freight rates
of last month is looked for Orders for
cars are coming into general freight
offices from all points in the west and
more than one road fears a car famine
As most of this grain will move under
contracts made at the reduced rates there
will not be large increases in revenue
from that class of freight but the great
est economy of operation as well as the
greatest amount of revenue will develop
from the movement of loaded cars both
ways Passenger men are also expecting
heavy business Commercial travelers
make up a large percentage of all roads
passengers Many merchants prefer buy
ing their goods at the large centers to or
dering of traveling men and they too
will soon be using passenger trains The
winter tourist business also has been
delayed
No Second Class Fares
Lines members of the Central Passen
ger and Trunk Lines committees are
considering a proposition to abolish second-class
fares Another matter of more
than ordinary interest to a large number
of people concerns the policy to be fol
lowed next year in handling clergy busi
ness It is said many of the passenger
men are more than pleased with the man
ner in which Western roads handled the
clergy business this year and that a like
plan may be adopted by the Eastern
lines That however is hardly likely
The misuse of charity fares protective
forms of excursion tickets government
transportation orders interterritorial
party fares and a number of other inter
esting subjects are docketed for consid
eration

A LEADER OF JOURNALISM
tJpright Character of James Gordon
Bennett in the Newspaper World
The character of James Gordon Ben
nett as a leader or journalism is admir
ably summed up in an interesting ar
ticle by James Creelman As an edit
or says the writer Mr Bennett is im
patient of political control or partner
ship He scents danger in every ap
proach and he will deliberately attack
a party to prove that he is not under
its influence According to him an
editor should be a man in a watch
tower out of sound and out of reach
Otherwise there would be conspiracy
and compromise Private promises
are to be broken in the public interest
Friendships are to be regarded as traps
for the editorial conscience So Mr
Bennett is a lonely man In a crowd a
hermit in the midst of bustling life
I can tell one story that illustrates the
magnificent perversity and shrewifh
ness that have preserved the Herald as
a historic example of incorruptible
journalism When Gen Crespo under
took to overthrow the rotten and tyran
nical government of President Palacio
he had thirty badly armed Venezue
lans to follow him The revolution was
sanctioned by the people but they were
afraid at first to join Crespos stand
ard Gradually however he gathered
together a small army and advanced
upon the government forces Palacio
and his friends had looted the treasury
money was needed to crush the revolt
and a sum great enough for the pur
poses could only be had in Europe
About this time an old friend of Mr
Bennett called upon him in Paris and
explained that the Venezuelan govern
ment desired to place loan bonds for
many millions of dollars in the Lon
don market He informed Mr Bennett
that he was to be the aent of Palacio
in the matter and would make a for
tune out of it Then he asked for the
co operation of the Herald on the score
of old time friendship and finally he
announced that if the Herald could be
little the revolutionary cause and so
stimulate the confidence of bankers in
the government bonds the transaction
would be worth two or three hundred
thousands dollars to Mr Bennett At
this Mr Bennett smiled grimly
It is worth a million dollars to the
Herald to know these facts he said
I do not quite understand you
said the friend
It is worth 1000000 to support the
other side
Why Mr Bennett am I too late
Have the other men seen you
No not at all But you have given
me proof that the government of Vene
zuela deserves to fall It is worth
1000000 to the Herald to be on the
right side I shall back up the revolu
tion and let the truth be known to the
world
In vain the friend pleaded that his
conversation was confidential and that
anewspaperhad no right to take advan
tage facts communicated under the
seal of secrecy Within an hour a cable
message set the wonderful machinery
of the Herald in motion and day after
day its columns were crowded with
dispatches from special correspondents
in Venezueala describing thiev ylwovt
the revolutionary army and the weak
ness of the government These dis
patches were reproduced in all the
European capitals and Palacios bonds
could not find a purchaser Without
money or credit the tyrant fell and
the first act of Crespo after he enter
ed Caracas at the head of his victorious
army was to send a long cablegram
at the public expense thanking the
Herald over his own signature for its
services in the cause of liberty and
constitutional government
A Story of Senator Haivley
Sitting by my side at the convention
Which nominated Lincoln for Presi
dent writes Isaac H Bromley was a
newspaper editor who called me Ike
as I called him Joe He was run
ning over with enthusiasm When the
nomination was made he interrupted
himself in his hurrahing to say to me
who looked on in wide eyed silence
Why dont you hurrah I dont
know why I did not but I remember
that I felt queer and only said I
cant hurrah I should cry if anyone
touched me I came nearer crying
when In less than twelve months I
saw him in uniform at the head of the
first Connecticut company that an
swered the call for troops He was
afterward a brigadier general Gover
nor of his State and member of Con
gress and has lately been elected to
his third term as United States Sena
tor There were probably other similar
cases It was Joe Hawley who sat at
my elbow

Nebraska for Bryan
Omaha Although the returns from Ne
braska are fragmentary and may remain
incomplete for two or three days enough
is known to warrant the conclusion that
Nebraska has been carried for Mr Bryan
and the fusion state ticket by majorities
ranging from 5000 to 15000 and possibly
more The vote for presidential electors
on both tho republican and fusion tickets
is considerably heavier than that given to
candidates for state offices and congress
men Holcomb will run from 8J0 to 1503
lower than Bryan and the candidates on
the fusion state ticket will not quite reach
the vote for Ilolcomb This is also true
as regards the vote for MacColl and the
republican state ticket as compared with
the McKinley electors
