THE MYSTERY OF WILFRED MURRAY. Another Death From Injuries in the Fallston, Md., Disaster. STRANGE NEW YORK TRAGEDY THE PRESIDENT AT MEMPHIS. A Committee From the City Grects Him Seven Miles Out. Mempnts, Texn., April 17.—The elegant spe- cial bearing the presidential party arrived here this morning at 9 o'clock, promptly on schedule time, after an all-night ran from Birmingham, Ala., over the Kansas City, Memphis and Bir- mingham rond across the northern part of Mississippi. No stops were made in that state, however, and the only incident of the run ocenrred at Jasper, Ala. ‘hat town was illuminated with many bonfires in honor of the President, and nearly 2,500 of the inhabitants gathered at the station’ to pay their respects. 't was 11 o'clock when the train reached there and the President, Postmaster General Wana- maker and the ladies of the party had retired for the night. The people were disappointed atnot being able to see the President, but were gratified at being allowed to pass through and inspect the observation car with the numerous floral offerings received in Birming- ham. Brief speeches wore made by Mr. George W. Boyd and Mr. Itussell Harrison. Those gentlemen were afterward assisted in enter- ‘twining the crowd by Maj. A. P. Sanger, U.S.A., and the press representative ESCORTED To THE cITY. This morning when the train reached Bell- view, a siation seven miles from this city, it was boarded by a committee of citizens from Memphis, headed by Messrs. R. C. Graves, William H. Moore and G. C. Matthews. A number of ladies accompanied the party and presented Mrs. Harrison and the other ladies of of the President's party with bouquets of La France roses. Mayor L. C. Clapp and other municipal officers received the Fresident and party on their arrival in the city. Alargecrowd, including the local militia, were gathered at the station and cheered the President when he ap- | peared on the platform. The party were im- mediately assigned to the carriages which awaited them and driven up Main street to the merchants’ exchange, fronting on Court Square, which was massed with people. The President was escorted up the iron stops, and introduced to the assembled crowd by Mayor Clapp, who welcomed the President on behalf of the city. THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH. The President sai “My fellow citizens: The name of the city of Memphis was familiar to me in my early boy- hood. Born and reared upon otic of the tribu- taries of the great river upou which your city is located, these river marts of commerce were the familiar trading posts of the farmersof the Ohio valley. I well remember when on the shores of my father's farm, the old “‘Bradhorn” was loaded from the hay press and the corn crib to fmarwat wlth Aiea plowieticonvatirg tine kiear Mississippi, I remember to have heard from him and the neighbors who constituted the crew of the pioncer crafts of river navigation of the perils of these great waters, of the snags and caving banks of the lower Mississippi. ““In those times these,states were largely plied with grain and forage from the north- western states. There you were giving your attention to, one or two great staple "pro- ducts, for which you found a large foreign market. I congratulate you that the progress of events has made you not Jess agricultural, but hus diversified your agriculture so that you are not now wholly de- Pendent upon these great staples for the in- come of your farms. It is a great thing that vou are raising more wheat, more corn, more hogs and cattle, that you are now raising pota- toes and watermelons and eabbage. “The benefits of this diversification are very great and the change symbolizes more than we at first realize. This change means that we are now coming to understand that mean- ness cannot be predicted of any hon- est industry. rejoice that you are adding to diversified agriculture, diversified manufacturing pursuits, that you are turning your thought to compressing and spinning cotton, as well as raising it. know no reason why these cotton states, that produce 75 per cent of the cotton of the world, should not spin the greater portion of it. I’ know no reason why they should export it as raw material rather than nanufactured product, holding in their midst the protits of this transportation of the raw material to the finished product. [Applause.} “Lhope it may be so. I see evidence that the people are turning their attention to new industries and are bringing into the midst of these farming communities a large popalation of artisans snd laborers, to consume at your own doors the product of your farms. Iam glad that a liberal government is making this great waterway to the sea safe and capable of an un- interrupted use. I am glad thatit is here washing the shores of your own city conven- ient and safe, and that it is opening with the north and’ south an uninterrupted and cheap transportation for the products oi these lands that lie along their reat system of rivers. Iam glad that it is Fring ig You in contact with ports of the gulf that look out with near and inviting aspects toward a great trade in South America that we shall soon possess.” ae VICTIM OF Fol PLAY. A Young Man Found Dead Under Sadie Trap- pagen’s Window. New Yorx, April 17.—W. H. A. Dawson, aged thirty-three, was found dead this morning un- der the window of a flat at 227 East 126th street, occupied by Sadie Trappagen, who was the friend of Annie Goodwin, the cigarette girl who died from malpractice last summer, and was the principal witness in the trial of the doctor who performed the operation. Sadie says that she went to the theater with Dawson last night; that she gave him her pocket book for safe keeping and that in leaving her home he forgot to return it. She thinks that he afterward returned, climbed up to tap on her window to give her the pocket book, and in doing so fell to the area and fractured his skull, ‘The police think that Dawson was killed by a blow from some blunt instrument. amet vaene LONDON SOCIETY QUAKING, Madame Eoulillier Could Tell Some Dam- aging Things if She Wished. Loxpos, April 17.—The news that Madame Rouillier, the French woman convicted of ab- duction, was the cause of Capt.

New Yonx, April 17.—The stock market | opened this morning with a continuance of the upward movement which was in progress last | evening, and first prices showed advances all | along the line among the active stocks of from 36 to 34 per cont over yesterday's finals. The high prices invited liquidation, however, and a decline set in with the opening sales, ‘whic however, wiped ont the opening gains only an at about the level of the closing prices of last evening the movement ceased. St Paul, At- ehison, Northern Pacific preferred and Bur- lington were the only really active stocks, but Lackawanna, Louisville and Chicago gas were in close sympathy with the leaders. Sugar was an exception to the general rule in the carly trading, but its advance of ty per cent was af- terward lost, and the rest of the market re- mained dull’ and featureless throughout the hour. The late dealings were again marked by a drooping tendency with rather more anima- tion, and at 11 o'clock the market was fairl active and heavy at the lowest prices reached. ‘Money is easy at $ and 4 percent. Though the stock market Was not so active after 11 o'clock, its tone improved materially and prices among the active shares were again brought to the level of the opening figures, and in many cases beyond .few of the leaders remaining below those pointe, Lackawanna and Rock Isiand were more prominent in the dealings, and both dis- layed positive strength, and Atchison, St. Paut, Burlington and Chicago gas maintained their positions as loaders in the market. The other industrials, including sugar, paratively neglected, and the gene: veloped no feature of interest. “At noon, how- ever, the market was quiet and firm, generally at a shade better than drat prices.

Loxpox, April 17.—The breach of promise | case of Evlyn against Huriburt was continued before Mr. Justice Cave and a special jury to- day. At the opening Sir Richard Webster, the at- torney general, handed the courtcertain letters dated Washington, D.C., and alleged to be in the handwriting of Wilfred Murray. In answer to | a query by Mr. Justice Cave Sir Richard said that the object of offering the letters in evi- dence was show that they were written by the same person who wrote the letters to the plain- tif. The defendant then produced a sign writ- ten by himself for comparison. Timothy O'Donnell, hall porter at the Or- Jeans Clab, of which Mr. Hurlburt is a member, | was then sworn. He said that he never kuew | that gentleman under any other name than that of Hurlburt; that the defendant often had vis- its from a full-feced, military looking ma giving the name of Rolands or Kawlins, and | who frequently wrote letters on club paper. Mr. Hurlburt was again placed ir the witness | box and cross-examined. He admitted that while lodging in St. James’ place, South Ken- singtou, in 1833, he had in his possession # number of indecent pictures, but explained that they belonged to a friend’ not now living. ‘The plaintiff was then recalled and asked as to the brother-in-law who bad sent her money to maintain her child. The attorney genera then proceeded to sum up, describiug the action | as an abominable conspiracy which the deiend- ant’s evidence had exposed. At the couclusion of the attorney general's | remarks Mr. Canby of counsel for the plaintiff rose to address the court and was speaking when an adjournment was taken for the day. ———— | FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
