High Rates for Money.
Xr.w York, Oct. SO. Wall street to
day experienced an ante-election twist
In tho money market which precipi
tated lively selling of stocks nnd caused
a loss of most of tho advanco In prices
which has occurred during tho past
few days.
It lias been evident for several days
past that a good many people wero
taking steps to protect themselves
against tho effects of a free silver vic
tory if Hryan should win in tho elec
tion TueBday. This tendency showed it
self in several ways. Thero was an
increased demand for sterling bills
of London, a greater inquiry for
"calls" on gold and a growing demand
for gold to hoard. Hankers hnvo felt
this movement through a loss of de
posits, and they have been compelled
to withdraw more nnd more money
from the call loan market. For several
days call rates have ranged rather
high. To-day they wero bid up to CO
per cent, and later xp to 100 per cent.
There were no great amounts loaned at
the high rates, and comparatively llttlo
excitement was stirred up by the ad
vance, as it was in a measure antici
pated. There is more disposition now to
hedge against a possible free silver vic
tory than there has been at any timo
since last summer, when, ns a result of
tho transfer of funds from this country
to Europe, gold was going out In largo
amounta The action of the syndicate
of foreign bankers in attempting to
stem that movement, and the favor
able turn In the trade balance a llttlo
later, which brought largo sums of
gold to this country from Eu
rope, had tho effect of quieting peo
ple's fears, and since then, until this
week, there has not been much
uneasiness over the election. But the
feeling has broken out again In tho
last few days. Bunkers here antici
pated It and prepared for it as well as
tlicy could. But bankers everywhere
In the country did the same thing, and
the withdrawal of funds from here by
Interior banks has prevented any great
accumulation of cash here. It Is well
known that many banks hi interior
cities aro carrying a cash reserve of
fifty to seventy per cent of their de
posits. This sort of thing has kept tho
cash reserves here at a very low point
and compelled extraordinary conserva
tism on the part of New York banks.
The drain of monoy to tire country ha3
been so great that practically all of tho
800,000,000 which nave come from Eu
rope have gone into the interior. Much
of tho gold itself went into the treas
ury, but the currency obtained in ex
change went west and south.
The nominal broker's premium on
gold to-day was H per cent. A
number of reputable firms are selling
"calls" on gold, good thirty to ninety
days, at X per cent premium.
There was a good deal of talk on the
street about a probable issue of clear
ing house certificates, but it does not
come from an authoritative source.

A very well executed picture of a
donkey, labeled "Mclvinley," occupied
the entire walk in front of the malr.
entrance. Who the artist, or artlsU
were, Is a mystery.
Tho Bryan club boys say the McKin

Tliu Prince Warned Not to Dlscloia
"Why Ho Wan DlimtMcd.
London, Oct. 30. A special dispatch
from Berlin says that It Is understood
there that tho proposed prosecution of
Prince Bismarck's organ, tho Ham
burger Is'achrlchten, for publishing
state secrets, has been abandoned out
of fear of tho harm such a step might
do to Germany's foreign, policy. Should
Frineo Bismarck, howovcr, publish tho
circumstances under whloh ho resigned
oftlco, the government will, tt Is de
clared, bo forced to act, and It Is said
will probably treat IMnco Bismarck In
the sarao manner that tho latter
treated Count von Arntm.
Count von Arnlm was arrested in
October, 1874. and confined in Berlin
for refusing to glvo up docu
ments sent to him ns ambassador.
On account of Illness ho was re
leased on ball sorao threo weeks
later, but was again nrrcsted, tried in
December, 1874, convicted of making
way with ecclcsio-pollticnl documents,
acquitted of other charges, and sen
tenced to threo months' imprisonment.
He appealed, was tried again in June,
1875, and a verdict was rendered con
firming tho sentence. In November of
tho same year it was rumored that ho
was to bo prosecuted for treason in a
pamphlet entitled 'Tro Nlhllo," .pub
lished at Zurich in Jnnuary, 1800. In
May, 1881, he died at Nice, as a result,
it was said by Prince Bismarck's ene
mies, of the persecution to which ho
had been subjected by the chancellor.
FOR EGGING MR. BRYAN.

AY lien Sir. Bryan Ilequcnted It.
Chicago, Oct. 30. Chauncoy Foutes
and L. J. Ilanchett, two of tho four
students of tho Metropolitan Business
college accused of having thrown eggs
at W. J. Bryan and Mrs. Bryan during
the parado Tuesday, were arrested by
Detectives McCaffrey and Fay, who
wero working on tho case. The two
boys aro tho sons of well-to-do South
side families. Later in tho day Foster
and Fnnchctt confessed to Chief of Po
lico Badenoch that they had thrown
the cggB.
Thomas Gahan, chairman of tho
Democratic county committee, received
the following letter from Mr. Bryan
regarding the matter:
"Dear Mr. Gnhun: I wish you would
nsk for tho release of tho boys arrested
for throwing tho eggs. I am suro it
was an net of thoughtlessness, and
their arrest has doubtless been a suf
ficient lesson to them and others.
Yours truly, W. J. Bryan."
Late In the afternoon tho chief of
police was compelled to release tho
two young prisoners, ns after Mr.
Bryan had written his letter asking
for their release, it was evident that
there would bo, no prosecution if tho
prisoners wore arraigned.
Before the prisoners had been re
leased, word was received from both of
their families that the law could tako
its course, as .no part in tho defense
would be taken by any of their rela
tives.

Much Work Done.
Washington, Oct, S8. Tho annual
report of Cnptoln Sampson, chief of
the naval ordnance bureau shows that
a great deal of work has been done
during tho lost fiscal year toward the
armament of ships of tho navy. Up to
:lnte tho bureau has built 450 guns of
largo caliber, has 80 partly completed
and hns condemned only two. All of
the six inch guns on hand aro to bo
converted Into rapid firing guns as
soon as funds shall bo available. Tho
appropriation of S230.000 for rosorvo
tjuns Is being utilized to construot
two 8-inch, two 12-inch and two
13-inch guns and these, with those
previously authorized, will supply tho
needs of tho naval service for soma
time, leaving the only appropriation
needed for guns to arm tho auxiliary
cruisers. luch difficulty has been ex
perienced with brown powder in tho
large caliber gtins and an escape from
this by tho introduction of smokeless
powder of this typo for tho use of tho
smaller calibers is now being made and
it will bo issued soon for till calibers up
to six inch.
A largo number of five nnd six Inch
projectiles is still needed and tho bu
reau strongly urges thnt it bo author
ized to rcqulro a reservo store, as tho
projectiles improvo by tho lapso of
Lime.
During tho past year 2,203 tons of
irmor have been delivered, of which
381 tons were reforged plutes. Tho
deliveries under tho old contracts havo
been completed nnd tho makers aro
mowing great activity in taking up
the work on tho new plates, so that it
is predicted the construction of tho
aew ships will not bo delayed for want
Df armor. Tho two armor companies
now claim a total nnnual capacity of
3,400 tons of armor.
The department has inspected and
classified as auxiliary cruisers nineteen
American steamers on the Atlantic
soast nnd nino on tho Pacific coast.
These will require forty-six 6-inch
funs, twenty-seven 5-inch, 104 of the
i-inch guns.tifty-four of the 0-poundcra,
right of tho 1-pounders and 112 ma
chine guns. Tho estimates for tho
next year aggregate 89,164,020, the
largest item of 87,720,790 being for tho

FUSION IS OFF.
Vashburn and Jones Have Quit Trying
to Get Together.
Chicago, Oct. 28. G. F. Washburn of
.ho Populist national committee, who
returned from Georgia yesterday, de
clared in an interview last night that
fusion negotiations between Senator
Jones and himself are off. He said:
"There wero a few States whero fusion
was pending and we wero trying to
consummate arrangements. When I
visited Georgia I saw that it was vitally
essential that all complications should
be adjusted at once, that tho solid vote
of the middle-of-the-road Populists
might be secured for Bryan. Whllo wo
wero arranging these matters, it was
flashed over the wires that the Georgia
and Tennessee Democrats had rojected
the overtures made by the Populists
and adjourned without making a coun
ter proposition. As these two States
were involved in our arrangements this
action rendered It impossible for us to
continue negotiation.

A Mltsonrt llutoliery.
Richmond, Mo., Oct 20. The most
horrible and brutal crime ever com
mitted in Roy county came to light yes
terday, when the dead bodies of Mrs.
Jesso Winner and her two small chil
dren wero found at their home, on tho
Wntkins place, six miles northeast o
this city. Tho victims arc:
Mrs. Kva Winner, aged 20.
Clara Winner, girl, nged 2.
l'earlc Winner, boy, aged 18. months.
Mrs. Winner's body was found just
outside of tho houso, with the skull
terribly crushed, nnd tho bodies of tho
two children in a corner of tho ono
room of the house. Tho children's
throats wero cut. Tho murderer or
murderers arc not known, but tho lius
bnnd and father Is In jail pending an
inquiry.
The triple murder took place somo
time between 11 o'clock Monday night
nnd t o'clock yesterday morning. The
Winner homo is about half a mile back
from tho county roud, and was occu
pied by Jcsso Winner tmd Ills family,
which has consisted of his wife and
three children. Mr. Winner was not
nt homo Monday night, his wife and
children being the only ones on tho
place. Somo timo during the night
somo unknown person or persons
gained admittance to the house and
before leaving blotted out threo lives.
From tho nppearanco of the interior
of the house it Is evident that a ficrco
fight was waged by the mother in de
fense of herself und her little ones.
Everything was in disorder and a
broken chain, besmeared with blood,
tells tho talc of Mrs. Winner's resist
ance, for tho blood was hers, and it
was shed In bnttllng with tho mur
derer. It is plain that before sho re
ceived her death blow she managed to
escape from tho houso and was fleeing
across tho yard, when sho was over
taken und felled with a fence rail.
The blow crushed her skull, but to
make sure work the murderer split the
woman's head with an ax, the blade
burying itself to the victim's eyes.
After killing Mrs. Winner tho brute
returned to tho house and killed two of
tho children, one a girl aged 3 years,
named Clara, and tho other n boy, 18
months old, named Pearlc, by cutting
their throats with a knife. Tho mur
derer not only cut tho jugular veins,
but severed .the spinal cords of tho
babies. The third child, which is deaf
nnd dumb, escaped without injury.
Before tho crime was discovered,
hogs found the body of Mrs. Winner
and had eaten all the flesh oil her
head, leaving nothing but the skull
with two gaping holes in it.
When tho husband and father was
informed of tho murder of his family
he appeared wholly unconcerned,
which seemed to create strong sus
picion against him. Winner is a coal
miner. Ho claims to hnvo been in
Richmond when tho crime was com
mitted. The Winners came hero about five
years ago, coming from Tipton, Pauld
ing county, Ohio, where his wife
resided. Both were well connected,
she having two brothers back In Ohio
who are considered very wealthy.
There is strong talk of lynching, if
the crime Is fastened upon anyone.
