Was Sent by An Unknown Person and
No Trace of Him Has Been
Found.
New York. March 15.—A mysterious
attempt has been made to poison the
family of Rev. Dr. Essex J. Crudup.
pastor of the Filmore Baptist church
of Plitinfleld, N. J. The pastor s sister
and his six-year-old daughter, who ale
some of a cake sent to the house by
an unkntovn person, were saved by
timely medical aid.
The cake was left at a grocery store
by an unknown man, who asked that it
■foe delivered to the pastor. A boy was
sent to the parsonage with the package.
The pastor's sister and the little girl
opened it ,and ate some of the cocoanut
frosting. They were at once taken vio-
lently ill. Examination of the cake
shows lhat the frosting had been tilled
■with a deadly poison.
•Recently there has been trouble in
the church, resulting in charges against
the minister, and the matter had been
placed before the grand jury. That body
dismissed the affair. No trace of the
poisoner has been found.
making a fight
on judge parker
Murphy is Said to be Still Opposing
Him.
New York, March 15.—The report
that Charles F. Murphy luis abandoned
his fight on Judge Parker is said to be
untrue, and it is now stated that he
vlll oppose the New York judge stead-
fastly. It is claimed by some that
Hill lyid made certain overtures to
Murphy, realizing the strength of the
latter's position, and it is said that ac-
cording to Hill's program the conven-
tion would adopt resolutions declaring
that Judge Parker Is the choice of the
Democrats of New York state, but
would leave the delegates free to vote
as they pleased. No confirmation of
the rumor could be obtained, but many
politicians believe It, because it is ex-
actly in line with-Hill's usual policy in
a fight. *
As is well known, he is a master at
planning, but when it comes to a fight
lie Is always for some sort of compro-
mise, even if all the chances are in
favor of his winning the light. He
could have forced through the state
committee an indorsement of Parker
at the Albany meeting recently, but he
did nothing further than to put through
a resolution naming Albany as the
place of the convention.
All the indications now are that he
■will have a majority in the state con-
vention and can have the delegates in-
structed for Parker; yet, those who
know him best say that it is not at all
unlikely that he will propose or have
proposed just such a compromise as
Is described above.

It Marks Boundary Between Chile
and Argentina.
Chicago, March 15.—At ar. exciting
session, punctuated by much spectac-
ular speech making, the Chicago city
council has enacted important legisla-
tion relating to saloons. Three ordi-
nancu were adopted and there is said
to be no doubt that the mayor will
sign all three of them. As a result of
the action:
The hour for saloon closing in the
future will be 1 a. m., instead of mid-
night.
After that hour saloons must remove
all blinds and screens and keep n bright
light burning within.

loons by their parents after beer or

A fourth ordinance giving the mayor
greater power in revoking licenses re-

sary to pass an ordinance, it failed.

austin negro
shot to death
Five Bullets Entered His Body,
Killing Him Instantly.
Austin, March 15.—A bloody tragedy
occurred right in the heart of the city
to-day at 11 o'clock. Henry Yerwood
shot and instantly killed Manson L,ee.
Both negroes are of the better class.
Lee was shot five times in different
parts of the body, either of which
would have proved fatal.
Lee was in a wagon In front of a
saloon and called Yerwood out, and as
soon as the latter got out he began
firing.
Lee jumped out of the vehicle and
ran, with the other negro in hot pur-
suit, firing all the time. The killing
created considerable excitement.

Ardmore Man Has Invented Boll Wee-
vil Destroyer.
Ardmore, I. T., March 15.—J. H.
White, a prominent farmer of Ravia,
twenty-five miles east of here, claims
to have found a way to destroy the
boll weevil. He has invented a ma-
chine with which he does the work and
it has been successfully operated.
Mr. White is of the opinion that lie
has a machine that will do the work
successfully, and it is protected by
patents.
G. W. Rrilter, a gunsmith of this
city, has just completed a model of the
macnine for Mr. White, which will be
exhibited by the company organized
by Mr. White this week at Waco, Tex.
A furnace continually fanned by a
draft of air is placed under a vat con-
taining chemicals. The fumes from
the chemicals are fanned into a cold
air chamber and are forced through a
series of tubes extended downward on
each side of the cotton row.
The gas passing through the meshes
of the limbs and leaves, permeating
every available place where bugs could
be found, is destructive to all insect
life and leaves the cotton plant clear
of insects of every kind.

will be relieved
Says White Man Cannot be Just Be-
cause He Has Not the Spirit
of Christ.
New York, March 15.—Bishop William
Benjamin Derrick, who for tlie past
four years has been the preaiding bish-
op of the New York diocese of the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal church, and
the most aggressive and uctive men
for the past twenty-live years out' of
of the colored race, has declared lhat
he is tired of America and yearns for
the land of his forefathers in Africa.
This announcement he made in ad dress-
ing the members of the New York con-
ference, and the general conference
will soon usslgn a new bishop to take
his place.
Mob attacks, lynchlngs and the burn-
ing of negroes are too much for him,
he said, and continued:
"Forty-two years ago I stood aukle
deep In blood in the light between the
Merrimac and Monitor, and the blood
of my comrades flew upon me as they
were slaughtered in the defense of this
nation, and yet this nation, although
we fought to save the American flag,
declares that we are not citizens and
affords us no protection. We can- not
but help feeling badly over the situa-
tion. This is no country for us.
"I do not advocate retaliation, but we
should stand up manfully and protest
and appeal to the few friends that we
have left to see to it that we get jus-
tice, since we are here.
"They tell me this is a land of Chris-
tianity and of civilization when here
those who are supposed to be the lead-
ers of religion and civilization will take
a woman and burn her at the stake
and then murder her husband. We can
not win by preaching too much peace
and brotherly love, for as soon as the
negro shows too much of this spirit the
white man says he is a coward. The
manly man strikes back. '
"We demand manhood rights; not
black manhood rights, nor whits man-
hood rights. I do not ask for social
equality or amalgamation, but for our
own choice of selection as to taate and
fitness. I want everything that any
other man may have. But the white
man can not be just to us because he
has in him none of the spirit of Christ."
command without hesitation. Then
their hands were tied behind them,
they were marched to a ravine and
told to lie down. They again obeyed,
and were then badly thrashed with
ropes. When the attacking party
thought they had given them enough,
they untied the negroes and told them
to hit the grouud for Belton, as they
did not allow negroes in Killeen. It is
needless to say lhat the negroes left,
and left rapidly, and were not long in
reaching Belton on foot, a distance of
eighteen miles.
The treatment uf the negroes is se-
verely denounced and will be investi-
gated by the authorities, and in all
probability the perpetrators of the out-
range will be prosecuted.

holders of the Northern Securities
company will respect the supremo
court's decision in letter and In spirit,
says the Journal of Commerce In quot-
ing a man said to be one of the

"The Securities company will, as
soon as practicable, be abandoned,"
continues the statement, "and the se-
curities of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific companies will be
exchanged back for the securities orig-
inally deposited., Plans for the distri-
bution of the- securities were com-
pleted some tUne ago In anticipation ot
an adverse dtrtleion. The effect of the
decision so far as the roads In t|Ues
tlon—the Northern Pacific, the Great
Northern and,the Burlington—art" con-
cerned, will not be Important, as their
absolute Independence of operation
lias not been disturbed.
"The result of the decision merely
will br> the restoration of the commu-
nity of ownership In the place of the
more radical plan for physical consoli-

the affair, but probably not as long as
at the outset may seein nccessary."

Kansas city, March 14.—No result
has come of the meeting of traffic offi-

Chicago, March 15.—Wheat % to %
higher. It was active and very Irregu-
lar. It sold ore lc a bushel on the
easier cables early, then rallied 2c, but
only held a part of the advance. Liv-
erpool was rather soft. Broomhull
cabled that indications* were rut her
more favorable in settlement of Argen-
tine strike. The Southwest still with-
out ruin and the speculative feeling is
influenced thereby. There Is more or
less talk about a strong cash situntlon
but conditions In that respect are not
altogether satisfactory. Primary re-
ceipts are again in excess of last your.
The Hour demand is on tlie whole not
very good. Sun Francisco wired tlie
Hussion government have taken about
5000 tons or liltrley on tlie coast and
will probably take more. it Is the
same kind of a market and the same
kind of general bullish sentiment that
caused the recent advance, but the
volume of it 1,h not so large. We look
for n good scalping market. Rains In
the Southwest tiro no doubt needed but
our advices tlo not indicate any ma-
terial damage has been done so far by
the tlry weather. Trlnk there are two
sides to the market at these prices.
Corn—Vi higher. It wus well sup-
ported on the early weakness, appar-
ently by the same Interest's that have
been sculping the market on Hie long
side of late. On the rally market lia<l
it rather quieter tone and the Improve-
ment did not seem sufficient, to induce
realizing sales by the above interest.
Outside of the local speculative opera-
tions there does not seem to be much
activity or inueli that Is encouraging In
the market. Receipts ate not large but
lleltlier Is the demand, and tlie ills-
count on off-grades stuff is still main-
tained. As long as tlie present strong
Interest Is willing to buy It on I In-
breaks, however, no material decline
may probably be expected.
Oats are nhout % easier. It rallied
from early weakness on strength in
wheat and corn, but the action of the
market on the whole does not show a
very strong undertone. There Is a fair
volume of business lit a. speculative
way. but it Is scattered and without
leadership. The cosh situation cannot
be saltl to be bad but It Is not an
ufgent one and probably siocks of con-
tract oats are still increasing.
