News of the Day. Samuel Wardell Stinemetz, president of the firm of B. H. Stinemetz & Son Co., batters and furriere, of Washington, died yesterday afternoon, aged fiftyone years. F. R. Crocker, cashier of the First National Bank, of Cahriton, Ia., ended his life with morphine today. He left & note saying: "I am unable longer to bear my burdens." Whether his ac. counts are all right has not been established. Deep mystery veils the motive of suicide of Miss Josephine Hill, a beautiful Kentucky girl, who shot herself today in the House of Mercy, Kingsbride, N. Y., where for two years she had led & secluded li'e. The storm which struck Galveston, Texas, early yesterday caused $500,000 damage. About twenty frame houses were blown down. A woman was killed and twenty persons injured. The wind for & time attained a velocity of 72 miles an hour. Joseph Dangel, President at the Dollar Savings Bank, of Akron, 0., whose cashier and treasurer, Fred Boran, committed suicide Sunday, was appointed receiver of the bank today. It is expected that the depositors will be paid dollar for dollar. Jomes Wardell, who was convicted of aiding and abetting in the suicide of his wife, when called before Judge Foster of the General Bessione, for sentence in New York today, confessed that he had murdered the woman. He was remanded back to the Tombs. Mr. and Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, ic, have an heir. The baby arrived at the Vanderbilt mansion in New York OD Tuesday night. He will inherit fully $20,000,000 from his father's side and perhaps twice as much from his mother, who was Miss Virginia Fair. Judge T. J. Morris, of the United States Circuit Court, of Baltimore yesterday appointed James Ford and A. B. Willington receivers for the South Baltimore Steel Car and Foundry Company. The receivers are required to furnish & bond for $250,000. Consternation and fear, verging on panic has spread through office buildings and stores on the lower west side along Fulton street, New York, 88 the result of settling foundations and cracking walls caused by the Hudson tunnel borings. Many people fear to enter their place of business. Samuel C. Mollahan, fifty-four years old, of Washington, flagman in the Pennsylvania freight yards at New Jersey and Virginia avenues southwest, was instantly killed yesterday afternoon by being crushed between two cars and then run over. Besides his wife, Mollaban is survived by a son and two daughters. The dead man's body was removed to the morgue. Mr. W. J. Bryan addressed 8 largely attended meeting in Covington, Ky., last night, the address being delivered in the open air. Mr. Bryan passed through Cincinnati yesterday morning on a special train, and made & full dozen speeches at as many towns before his return yesterday evening. He is campaigning the State in the interests of S. W. Hegers, candidate for governor of Kentucky. Insanity is to be the plea in the defense of Harry Kendall Thaw, whose second trial for the slaying of Stanford White will begin in New York 00 December 2 next, Martin W. Littleton, whief counsel for Thaw, it was learned late last night, has decided on this course: He is convinced that Thaw is insane, and has not adopted this course as merely a theory on which to conduct a successful defense, but because he feels certain of the unsound mental condition of his client. The discharge of Fred Hardy, a second hand, precipitated a strike of nearly 2,000 operatives of the Arlington Cotton Mills at Lawrence, Mass., yesterday, and others of the 7,000 hands employed there threaten to join the strikers if the demands are not granted. They demand the reinstatement of Hardy and the discharge of Overseer W. John Boulton. The strikers declare that since the arrival of Boulton work of the weaving department has been increased without any corresponding increase of pay. The President's order testing the horsemanship of officers of the United States army, a subject for levity by the general public, has become more of & stern reality to officers than the mero eating of dinner off a mantel-piece. Some of the army's very best material. men whose efficiency in their several details is unquestioned-many of whom it will be difficult to replace, are slated for retirement because their work for years has taken them out of the saddle, and they have been found physically disqualified for rough riding. The Hudson River Rowing Club's boathouse on the river bank, between 126th and 127th streets, New York, burned early today, together with all the boats, about thirty in number, and many trophies of the club members' victories in acquatic contests. The Bank of England directorstoday raised the discount rate from 41 to 51 per cent.

The bank has been closed and an investigation has been started. Chariton is a town of 5,000 inhabitants, 100 miles south of Des Moines.
