"A Brisk Market la Packed Leaf.
The leaf tobacco trade In old goods the
paitweekwM active. The aalea feet up
ever 1,000 cases, or whieh Skllea A Frey
handled 300 boxes, Jehn Fendrich, of
Colombia, 237; Daniel Mayer 23, and
ether firms the balance.
The crop or 1889 la atill belnt received at
the warehouse or the packers, and la being;
boxed aa rapidly as possible. These who
begau packing early have about finished.
The late packers will be through hi a few
weeks. Dealers ex press themselves as well
satisfied with their purchases and only
regret that Ibere Is net mere or it te be
bought.
The county has been well scoured the
past few weeks, and new only scattering
Ieta are loll. These lets are either held at
prices considered tee high or the quality is
net up te the standard desired by purchas
ers. The New Yerk Market.
Frem the 17. 8. Tobacco Journal.
Unprecedented la the activity which Is
prevailing in our market at present. Net
since New Yerk became the ruling market
in cigar tear naa mere eeen witnessed sucn
a ruah or bnsluess, have such enormous
transactions Involving fortunes taken place
as haa been dene since Lay Follette's
Felly has been launched upon Congress.
There is hardly talk or thought or any thing
else In our market than or Sumatra.
Goods that went begging eny two months
age at a sacrifice liave In the mean
time been bought up at a glance and at any
price asked. The month or Februarv
started in with a stock or at least 22,000
bales of old Sumatra in the hands or our
importers and or this Immense stock there
are hardly 2,000 bales left te-day. Only
during the past week the transactions
amounted te very near 2.000 bales and the,
market is te day crowded with buyers
from Binghamlen and Philadelphia ready
te take anything they can get and te buy
as much as their credit will warrant. A
considerable slice or the new Sumatra haa
also been secured already by the eager
buyers and we knew or several instances
where goods which are still swimming en
the ocean have been disposed or already.
And this rush will continue and even grew
stronger yet up te the date when the new
tariff bill will go Inte effect. And even If
the bill is rusbed through the Senate aa It
Is being whipped through the Heuse, it is
net likely that it will go into effect before
August 1, if McKinley's btatement can be
relied en.
The Sumatra boom In the market reacts
of course, en tholnscrlptiens at Amsterdam.
At the inscription en the 14 Inst, every
sprig of Sumatra avallable for this market
was In eager demand by the American
buyers and also at unorecedontod nrlces.
Seme lets sold as high as 400c., Dutch
currency and ene American house alone
secured at this siugle Inscription 1,200
bales.
Our rural contemporaries affect te notice
also a boom in domestic leaf In their coun
try markets. We hope they state the facts.
In our markets the reverse almost Is the
truth. There is very little inquiry for and
till fewer buyers or domestic leaf at pres
ent Even such a staple article as Havana
is for the moment suffering under the
general scramble for the Sumatra. And
yet the 92 rate will be a worse blew for the
Havana than the Dutch leaf.
Frem the Tobacco Leaf.
Business is commencing te assume con
siderable activity, and a Reed sized bulk of
all kinds of domestic leaf was disposed of
during the week. The market is very bare
of B and C tobacco, and what still remains
will find ready purchasers. Buying or the
new crop still continues In all sections,
The Leaf says: "We are informed
from Havana that In case the new tariff
bill becomes a law the Spanish govoan gevoan govean
inent will impose an expert tax or ISe nor
pound en all leaf tobacco coming te this
country. This is te help the cigar manu
facturers nlie send thelr productions te
the United States.

The Philadelphia Market.
Frem (he Tobacco Leaf.
It is moving, whatever dealer is for
tunate enough te have the stock needed
by manufacturers of cigars finds ready
buyers, therefore it can be claimed that the
leaf business Isvery fair se far as sales are
concerned, The unfortunate part of the
business is the exceedingly small margins
obtained by handlers.
Sumatra is just booming in fact, ether
kinds of leaf stock are neglected In the
rush for Sumatra.
Havana moves steadily along net quite
se freely as heretofore, but yet Us puce is
brisk and agreeable.

Providing that the internal taxes ou

en snuff, shall be 4 eents a pound after the

Making an indefinite appropriations for
the payment or drawbacks.
Reducing the bend or cigar manufac
turers from 1000 te f 100.
Limiting te a minimum of 5 the amount
or drawback claims en tobacco In original
packages, when the law takes effect.
Mr. Turner, or Georgia, made a speech
in general denunciation or tiie bill. The
supplement te this moasure would be an
election bill. Nothing but returning beards
and agencies by which public officials
could, like the speaker when he wanted a
quorum, count the entire population
whether thev voted or net. would enable
the Republican party te come back te the
Heuse with a majority.
Mr. MeClaminy, or North Carolina, des
ignated the bill as a notorious, conspicuous
outrage, and then In a humorous, ten
minute speech, riddled the measure with a
satire and a ridicule which were enjoyed
by both sides or the chamber.
Mr. Hendersen, or North Carolina, advo
cated the entire abolition or the Internal
revenue tax en tobacco.
Mr. Hendersen, or Iowa, spoke in favor
or restoring the present internal tax en
tobacco, and offered nn amendment te that
effect The people believed that this tax
was the last which should be taken from
their sheulders. They proferred that the
tax should be taken from the necessities or
the table than from the plpe, the cigar and
the whisky Jug. Tbe main question be bo be
fere the Heuse was whetbor'the treasury
contained enough money te pay the ex
penses of the government. (Democratic
applause.) At such a tlme he did
net belle ve in taking the tax from to
bacco. His Democratic friends were
applauding. They would give better ap
plause if they would vote for his amend
ment, ir they meant the clap or their
hands, let thelr hearts and" their voices fol fel
low it. irthe Democrats were in control
or the Heuse he would vete te ropeal en
tirely the Internal revenue tax, knowing
perfectly well that when the Democrats
were In newer thev would net aive ene
dollar te the soldlers, though tbe Republi
cans proposed te give them 150,000,000. He
did net propose, with the soldiers or the
Union knocking at the doers or the capltel,
te take the tax off tobacco.
Mr. Tucker, nr Virginia, effered and ad
vocated an amondment abolishing the tax
en tobacco.
Mr. Dunnell, or Minnesota, regretted
that the committee, instead or net further
reducing the tax en the necessities or life,
had reduced the tax en tobacco. The use
or tobacco should be dlscournged.
Mr. Cowles. of North Carolina, argued in
favor of the abolition of the tax en tobacco,
and In goneral opposition te the bill.
Mr. Kerr, of Iowa, favered the repeal of
the tobacco tax, The tax en tobacco and
whisky (and be used nelther) was paid by

A GIRL ENDS HER LIFE.
BECAUSE IER 18THER SC'LnBB 1ER SUSAN
BKSBBICT TAKES LAUBAJUI.
She Is Found .Unoensclous In Bed and
Dim About 7 O'clock The Testi
mony Before the Corener's Jnry.
There seems te be a mania for suicide
among the young people of this city, and
within a short tlme two have taken their
lives for very trivial causes. This morn
ing Susan Benedict, a sixteen-year-old
daughter, of ex-Deputy Sheriff Geerge W.
Benedict, or Ne. 2& Church street,
died from the effects or a dose or
laudanum which she took for the purpose
or suicide. This morning at 5 o'clock Mrs.
Benedict was awakened by the heavy
brealhtngand ureanlng or her daughter.
She called te her but received no answer,
and she then saw that froth was coming
from her mouth and nose, she summoned
her husband, who went for Drs. Shirk and
H. E. Muhlenberg. They reached the
house about hair past five o'clock. The
girl was breathing very bard and frothing
at the mouth. There was every Indication
of opium poisoning and the girl died about
7 o'clock. She never rocevorod conscious
ness from the tlme that her mother dis
covered her. An empty bottle, which had
contained laudanum, was round under the
Slrl's pillow and that told the tale or her
eath. The cause for her taking her own
life was that her mether scelded her. The
truth was that the girl was in the habit of
running ithouUhe streets and bocause her
mother chided her about It she took her
life. On Sunday she and two ether girls
went out te the creek and Mrs. Bonedlrt
scolded her daughter when she returned,
The gill thou becAinevery angry.
Corener Hnnaman Impannetled a Jury
composed or Charles Shultz, Henry Mlssel,
Adam Hllne, Charles L. Yeung, II. C.
Heller and Jehn W. Heller te held an In
quest at 0 o'clock this morning.
The first wltness called was Geergo W.
Ronedlct, who testified te have been sum
moned home. When he round his daugh
ter's condition he went for the doctor. Dr.
II. E. Muhlenberg testilled te hew he found
the girl. He thought that she must
have taken the nelsen liefnrn mtlrlnir
lastovenlug. The tostlmeny of the ether
witnesses threw much mere light upon the
cause or the nlrl's suicide. Mrs. Benedict,
in tier evidence, told hew she had been
awakened by the girl as related above. Sue
was in tbe habit or running about the
streets with Clara Gertler and JennleShay,
two Klrls or about her own age, and
she frequently scelded her for it and
she desired nor tu spend mere of her
tlme at home. Lest evening witness went
up street and she told her daughter te stay
at the hotise until she ret u med. As seen
as Mrs. Bonedict was irone the Gertler nmt
Shay Klrls called at the house and they left
Willi Sue. They did net return until after
Mrs. Benedict hed come back. The latter
scelded them fur leaving the beuse alone.
All the girls walted In the house until the
rain wsh ever when the strange girls
started home and Sue accompanledthoin as
far us Mlller'a grocery, at Church and
Duke stroeta. She then returned home and
went te bed.
Jehn Black, druggist, at Dukeand church
streets, testilled that two young girls came
into ids store lest ovening about six
o'clock. They had a bettle and he sold
them ten cents' worth of laudanum. While
In the store tbey were laughing and talk
ing and Boemed te be in a geed humor.
Clara Gertler testified that she, Sue
Benedict and Jennie Shay went te Black's
store last evenlng between 0 and 0 o'clock
and bought the laudanum. The Shay girl
would net co in the stere with them, Tjut
Sue Benedict went in. The latter said
during the ovening that she intended kill
ing herself by taking laudanum, as her
mother had scelded her. She said the
H-isne te wltness en Saturday.
After hearing oil of the evidence the Jury
rendered a verdict or death from poison,
taken with suicidal lutent.
DF.ATH OF MIW. WHARTON.
Romarknble Career of a Weman Ac Ac
qultted of Monstrous Crimes
The death of Mrs. Ellen a. .Wharten,
aged seventy, at the country rosldeuce of
her son-in-law, Moere Wharten, near
Philadelphia, recalls ene of tiin most Inter
esting trials en record. Mrs. Wharten was
.iien u. .Nugent, a daughter of Geerge
Nugent, a wealthy Philadelphia Importer
or fine dry Reeds. She was verv hand-
HOine and fend of dress, and In spite or her
father's liberality was continually running
into debt. She meved in the best
soclety and had a wide clrcle of
frietKlH In this state, nor first startling
performance was an announcement of her
approaching marriage te a Mr. William
son, Invitations were sent out and the
guostta'came, but the groom did net, and
declared that he knew nothing about the
wedding, and was net eniraged. Mr. Nu
gent then arranged te send his daughter te
un Insane asylum, but she eloped and was
married te Lieutenant Hurry M. Wharten.
Her father forgave her and continued te
pay her debts. The next sensation was
in 1807, when Colonel Wharten, 'jer hus
band, and Goneral Ketchum, a friend, both
died, and she was tried et Annapolis and
ecquitted of the charge of having ixiisened
the geuerai iu order te rob him. Twe
years later she was again tried en
the clmrL'e of poisoning Eugeue Van Ness,
a bank clerk, who was taken 111 en drink
ing a glass of beer at her hnuse, and died.
Mrs. Wharten was next accused of poison
ing her husband, her husband's cousin,
Colonel Edward Wharten, and her own
son, Captain Henry C. Wharten, but these
charges never came Inte court.
Iu the trial for Van Ness' murder the
Jury rulled toagreoand wero discharged.
After the failure of the Jury te agree in the
second case Mrs.Wharten was called In the
sum of 810,000 for her future appoarance ir
required. She paid this sum aud with her
daughter, Miss Nellie, who was iter con
stant companion, left for l'hlladelphla.
Nellie was married te Mr. Moero Wharten
nnd her mother made her home with them,
leullug a occluded life.
