AN AID TO BUSINESS.

ed to Relieve the (Jtrlngtncy and
Restore Confidence
R. O. Dun Co.' "Weekly Review of
Trade" says:
Concerted action by the banks of New
York has changed the situation materially.
More failures, and a tremendous drain of
money to the West hud such effect that tho
banks wero unanimous In deciding upon
the issue of clearing hottso certificates, but
as a precautionary measure to prevent
trouble rather than because the urgency of
the troublo, made it necessary. Increased
accommodations for the business commun
ity are expected to result.
The weakness of banks at many Western
points continues and the character of the
failures reported inriinatce that the wide
spread stringency is having a serious efl'ect
upon mcichants and manufacturers.
F.xpnrts in two weeks of June are but (2

BELIEVE LIZZIE INNOCENT.
The Pubiio Sentiment In the Borden
Murder Case Change to the De
fendant, Whose Aequlttal
Seems Certain.
At New Bedford, Mass., the defence in
the Lizzie Borden murder trial rested their
case Friday afternoon and the trial was ad
journed until Monday. The defence over
threw all the important point made by the
Qovtrnment
The change In public sentiment during
the past day in the case Is remarkable, and
before court convenes again next Monday
It is sale to say that Lizzie Borden will be
come almost a saint and a martyr in the
eyes of the people of New England. 6h
ha triumphed over the combined eff orts of
the police of Fall River and fro u this time
on it is safe to aay that not only will the
majority of the people be convinced of her
innocence, but they will hold op this fam
ous case as an example of law' misdoings
and the fallacy of circumstantial evidence.
The case on the part of the Government
eeius to have been made up largely of sup
positions, iuuendoes and never before has
the theory of exclusive opportunity receiv
ed such a blow.
Of course there are those who will always
beliere ber guilty and her misfortune in
being unable to prove a complete alibi will
always count against ber to soma extent
She has uot demonstrated that she is not
guilty, but on the other band the Htate be
absolutely failed to make it esse, and this
failure in New England town will un
doubtedly bring about a reaction and make
host of friends aud bring a vast amount of
sympathy lor Liazie Borden.
A CRAZY MOTHER'S CRIME
DRIVEN INSANE BY MELAN
CHOLT,
Mr. Phillip Krech Kill Four of Ber
Children and Herself.
Mrs. rhllllp Krech, the wife of a farmer
near I'lea-ant Hill, W. Va., killed herself
end four children and tried to kill the nst
of the family, eight In all, in fit of In
sanity. For some time Mrs, Krech ha been very
melancholy and often said she was afraid
he would die and leave her children. Wed
nesday Mr, Krech was away from home.
Mollie, the eldest child, aged 18, was wash
ing, and at the dinner hour the children
were all given milk and bread. When the
children had finished eating Mrs. Krech
said to Mollie: "I have given Johnny and
Freddy unison, and we will all jump into
the well."
Mollie followed he mother to the front
of the house and -aw her pick up tho 10
months old baby and chih it into the well,
which contained eight feet of water. She
then picked up a three vear old child and
threw it into the well also. Then the crazy
woman seized another of her children, bov
8 years old. but Mollie rescued him from
her mother's group. The mother tried to
throw Mollie into the well, but after a lies
liernte struggle the girl succeeded In escap
ing. By this time the two children in the
well were drowned. The two bovs, Johnny
and Freddy, to whom she had given poison,
were lying on the door dving, and the other
children, with the exception of Mollie. had
run to an uncle to tell the awful news. Then
Mrs. Krech, seeing that she conld kill no
more of her children, Jumped into the well
herself.
When neighbors arrived they fonnd ths
mother anil two children in the well dead.
Freddy, who hud been given poison, was
lying dead on the Moor, and Johnny died
few minutes afterward
A NEW INQUEST.
The Coroner Must Conduct the Ford
Theater Hearing Himself. Alns
Worth Barred From Exam
ining Witnesses.
There was a sensational development at
Washington, I. C, in the initicst to ascer
tain the cause of the disaster at Font's
Theatre building last Friday, Chief Julicn
Bingham, of the District Supreme Court,
rendered his decision regarding the applica
tion made by Colonel F. C. Ainsworth for a
writ of mandamus compelling the Coroner
to allow Ainsworth's counsel to cross exam.
Ine witnesses, in which he not only refused
to issue the writ, but dcclartd that the pro
ceedings of the Deputy coroner and the
jury have so far been Illegal and are there
fore void.
Judge Bingham declared that the Coro
ner is a judicial officer and can therefor
not Authorize any person to perform his ju
dicial functions. Die Court decidtd that
Hie Coroner hos absolute authority to con
duct his investigations and can exclude
Whoever lie desires.
1 he result of the decision Is that the in
quest will have to he com irenced over again
and Colenei Ainsworth who is believed to
be in a great measure responsible for the
terrible cstastrophy cannot be represented
before the jury by counsel.
Coroner Patterson, whose absence from
the investigation has been due to ill health,
will begin the new Inquest with the same
Jury. Before the hearing the Jury will )iav
to go out to (ilonwood Cemetery and vie
the body of Mr. Loftus.wliich reposes there
in n vault, in order to satisfy the law that
someone was killed by the lulling of the
building.
FOUR PERSONS CREMATFD.
The Deadly Cigarette Bets Fire to a Six
Story New York Tenement House.
The six-story building filled with sweat
hops at Nos. 10 and 12 Montgorery street,
New Y'ork, caught fire and in the panic
that resulted four people were killed, two
fatally injured and five sustained lesser
injuries. The fire started under the stairs,
and it is supposed was caused by a light -d
cigarette being thrown into a pile of rub
bish. When the Inmates of the building, about
250 in number, became aware ol their dan
ger there was a rush to the lire escapes, and
as the people cou'd not all get out at once
there whs a light for precedence. A number
of people on the eco d Door Jumped from
the window. The list of dead ia as follows
Celia Davis, 13 years old; Akivos Itoox, 28
years old. 11 usuan tailor; Joseph Hender
son, Russian tailor, 20 years old; Annie
Katzen, 16 years old. The damage to the
building was less than (5,000.
THE WORST IS OVER,
Gold Shipments Stopped, For the Pres
ent, at Least.
The financial condition of the country, ai
riewed from a treasury standKiiit, snotti
general improvement. Bank and com
mercial failures are tewer, Euroi is buy
ing our grain in great quantities, gold ship
ments have censed at least for the present,
confidence is being restored and money If
not so tight.
The treasury net gold has increased from
(89,000.000 to (01.300.00 1 and the demand
for small money in the West will have the
effect to further increase the treasury gold.
The rate of exchange is sufficiently high to
warrant the shipment of gold abroad, but
the fact that commerce! paper ia lor sale in
London has a deterrent effect.
There is a general feeling that the worst
is passed, the weaker financial institutions
and business firms having succumbed, whils
those that passed through so fur unscathed
are stronger for havaig weathered the finan
cial storm.

The chamliers In the Federal bntldlng
where the Mtndny closing case was argued
before the t'nlteil States court of appeals
were crowded by an Interested audience
who anticipated a decision Saturday morn
ing. Chief Justice Fuller announced that asth
case in question was one In which great
public Interest was felt, and as delay would
only cense anxiety on the part of those In
terested, the derision would he announced
immediately the reasons lesdina up to such
decision he ine reported later. He first dis
posed of the plen of the defense that the
court had no Jurisdiction, and therefore
asked for a dismissal of the case. This wai
denied. He said that he could not concur
in the plea that the Jurisdiction of the court
was at issue. The overruling of the motion
for dismissal was a straw indicative of tb
derision of the appeal.
Returning to Ids decision of the appenl
application of the dlreitory for a reversal nf
the finding of the lower court. Chief Justice
Fuller held that the government l y art of
congress agreed to lurnlsh (2.590.000 in

local corporation spending an additional
(2,.,i00.0i)0 and giving to the government a
bond that it would complete the buildings

to two conditions;
1, The local corporation wss to pav.all
the costs and charges of the fuir until it
close;
2 The gates of the exposition were to be
closed on Sunday.
Taking Into consideration the rights nf
the parties and the naiuie of the conditions
the court held that it could not concur in
the proposition that tho appropriation
amounted In a charitable trust. It was
rather a simple contract. A charitable
trutit was only recognized In cases where
money was laid aside for the benefit of the
manses to be distributed or disbursed for

The corporation invested over (lll.0M.09O
in the enterprise and was responsible fur its

In view of these facts the decision of the
lower rotirt ernntlng an injunction closing
the gates on Sunday was overruled and the
case remanded for further hearing.
In revokitiK the injunction closing the
gates on the Sabfiatli, hy a unanimous de
cision, the Judges held that the I'nito.l
State Government ha I no riuht to Interfere
In the matter. The Fair will now be open

IIIH O THAT WAS IMAOINEP,
The reont statements published In Jsome
of the dully papers regarding World s Fair
finances are grossly misleading. The entire
expenses of the Kxn.witlon for Mav, includ
ing payrolls, were (2."0,0i) less lliau the
amount published as the payrolls alone.
The total expenses for May were less ihnn
(MOO.UOO or about (19.4'Kl per dav, and the
total receipts were (720 090, the 'Exposition
beirg open 'mt 27 days. These expense
were much larger than they will be In June
or thereafter, owing to the then unfinished
condition of the grounds and buildings 'and
the work of insinuation, which Is now fin
ished. The expenses are being reduced
largely every day. The receipts for May
include returns from concessions, the opera
tions of which had hardly begun. The
average revenue from admissions and col
lections thus far this mouth exceeds .r.".0u0
per duy. The daily receipts from these
sources, especially the latter, are constantly
Increasing largely. The admissions at the
