M’CULLAGH SUICIDED Dr. Hughes, His Physician, Positive That He Took His Life. TESTIMONY AT THE INQUEST Made an. Attempt on the 33d of Last Month, When He Drank an Ounce of Digitalis—Told His Doctor That When Man Outlived His Usefulness He Ought to Die—His Funeral Today. St. Louis, Jan. 2.—The inquest on the body of J. H. McCullagh, late editor of the Globe Democrat whose remains were found under his bedroom window began yesterday. It developed the startling fact, through the testimony of Dr. C. H. Hughes, Mr. McCullagh’s physician, that the deceased made what was at the time believed an attempt at suicide on Dec. 23 last. On that day Dr. Hughes testified he Called on Mr. McCullagh and left with him a four ounce bottle containing two ounces of digitalis, a powerful heart tonic, an overdose of which would have the effect of paralyzing the action of the heart. The same night Mr. McCullagh took one ounce of the medicine, enough to have caused death, but which.jowing to the weak condition of his stomach, was immediately rejected. When Dr. Hughes called rhe next morning he was greatly alarmed and asked Mr. McCullagh if he had taken that amount, an evasive answer was given. Dr. Hughes testified that he was satisfied Mr. McCullagh had not taken the medicine by mistake. The physician at once connected the startling circumstances with a conversation had with Mr. McCullagh shortly before, in which the latter spoke of the death of Abraham Lincoln, saying that he died at a good time, and that when any man outlived his usefulness it was time for him to go. Dr. Hughes then testified as to Mr. McCullagh’s strange and evasive planner on the day preceding his death, and concluded his testimony with the positive statement that his impression was that the case lyns ope of suicide. Liveryman Louis C. Bohle, the closest personal friend of the deceased, was also to have testified, but as he failed to appear the case was continued. Yesterday Mrs. McKee, daughter of the original proprietor of The GlobeDemocrat, accompanied by a friend, went out to Bellefountaine cemetery and selected a location for the grave of the deceased, which will be in the McKee family lot. Mr. William Berry Armstrong, a nephew of the deceased, arrived from Chicago yesterday, and Mrs. Rachel Souter, a sister, arrived from Brooklyn today. A massmeeting of newspapermen was held and took apnronriate actum on the death of Mr. McCullagh. . . The f uneral’ today was very simple. ' ‘ The eight pallbearers were selected fpom the heads of the departments of The Globe-Democrat. The list of honorary pall be* Consisted of leading citizens nf St. Louis, principally representing the Republican party. Tt ' —— — DAUNTLESS TO THE RESCUE. ■b Men and Car,io Left on No Name Key Were In Distress. Jacksonville, Fla , Jan. 2. —The filibusters who left Fernandina on the steamer Three Friends, about three weeks ago, bound for Cuba, and who, after the failure of the expedition, were landed on No have been in distress, and at least two of them have, died because of the privations that they have been compelled to endure. No Name key is situated about 60 miles northeast of Key West. The steamer Dauntless which left this port Tuesday afternoon has reached the key where the men and cargo were left, and succeeded in taking ,„thein aboard and they are supposed now on the way to Cuba again. Commodore and Three Friends. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 2. — The steamer Commodore, which cleared from this port Thursday night bound for Cuba with arms and ammunition, grounded in the St. Johns river at Commodore's Point, a few miles below this city, and remained there all night. The revenue cutter Boutwell started down the river yesterday and brought the Commodore a line and pulled her off, afterward towing the vessel down the river until steam could fie gotten up. The Commodore crossed the bar and headed for Cuba. The gunner from the Boutwell has been withdrawn from the Tlrree Friends by Captain Kilgore, acting under instructions from Washington. District Attorney Clark lias re- " eeived no instructions to libel che steam- , er, and it is now free from the custody of the government, Shftt Two Men For Revenge.

OUR EXPORT TRADE Last Year Larger In the Aggregate Than Any Former Year. BALANCE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. Kxcellant Showing For AmericM Trad* Notwithstanding the Loss Sustained Through Cuba's War—lncrease In Agricultural Products Over That of the Year Previous. , Washington, Jan. s.—The complete reports are not in from all of the ports of entry, but it is known that the balance of trade in favor of this country for the year ending Dec. 31, 1896, was greater than for any year since 1881. ! The greatest balance the exports and imports of the United States ever showed was in 1879. That year the country sold $264,000,000 more than it bought. In 1881 the exports were $260,000,000 more than the imports. For 1896 the balance will fall but little below these two red-letter years. The exports for 1896 were about $932,616,000, and the imports were about $687,616,000. The balance of trade in favor of the United States was about $245,000,000. The aggregate of the foreign trade of the United States for the year was about $1,625,000,000. The foreign trade of 1896 was greater than that of 1895 or 1894. It was almost equal to that of 1892, but in the latter year the balance in favor of this country was not so great. One of the notable facts shown by a comparison of 1896 with 1895 is that the exports of American manufactures increased about $50,000,000. Agricultural products increased abodt $45,000,000 in 1896 over 1895. The exports of 1896 show a gain of $100,000,000 over 1895. This excellent showing for American trade is made, notwithstanding the loss which has been sustained in the trade with Cuba. The island sent to the United States $52,000,000 of her products in 1895 and took $12,000,000 of onr products. This trade was almost entirely wiped out in 1896. The year shows the largest aggregate of exports of American manufactures ever known. The United States in 1896 sold of her manufactures $249,000,000, which was $21,000,000 better than the showing of any previous year. CIVILIAN EXPERTS. They Will Be Employed by the Naval Department to -Examine Steelplate. Washington, Jan. s.—Secretary Herbert and Assistant Secretary McAdoo conferred for several hours with the members of the special board, headed by Captain McCormick, charged with an inquiry into defective structural steelplate supplied for the battleships. It has finally been determined to emplov 12 or .15 civilian experts to aid the steST board in the inspection of steel at the mills. These will be paid from $4 to $6 per day and they will , be selected after competitive examination by civil service methods. More than 50 applicants have already made their appearance, and a number of these have been notified to appeal’ here for examination. The secretary decided to pursue the investigation initiated by the McCormick board and look into the quality of the material supplied for vessels other than the Kentucky, Kearsarge and Illinois, ! .which have already’ been examined. To ' this end the McCormick board has been : ordered to visit Cramps works at Phila- | delphia and examine the steel supplied , by the Carnegie works for the battle- i ship Alabama, I ' — „ “ I CUBAN RESOLUTION. ■* . ' . 1 Senator Cullom Wants Some Measure to End the Brutal War. Washington, Jan. 5. —Senator Oul- : lom of Illinois, a member of the com- | mittee on foreign relations, was asked ■ for his views concerning the Cuban resolution and the suggestion that it should be postponed for the the present. He says that he knows nothing as to the intention of the committee, but indicates that in case the opposition to , the resolution should be strong enough i it could be defeated by consumption of j time in discussion. Senator Cullom says if it appears that it is the purpose of'the opposition Jo defeat the -fesolu- ; tion no good would be accomplished in pressing it. While he voted for the resolution he is not particular as to the form it takes or what it should declare, his object being, as he declared in hi s speech the session, to have : some action taken' to bring the brutal wax- in Cuba to an end. Tariff Hearings. Washington, Jan. 5. —The tobacco schedule of the tariff was threshed over by the representatives of various to- j baeeb interests yesterday before the ways and means committee with great ; minuteness. Several branches of the '■ business were represented, the native I 1 growers, importers, manufacturers using i the native goods, using . Havana and those handling the Sumatra product. Between these classes there was much discord, no two of them being agreed on i any schedule of rates, and contradicting , one another on questions relating to tire ! , effects of the present law to rates of j \ labor and cost of production and manu- . faccure.

THREE MORE BANKS Germania, Allemania and West Side Fail at St. Paul. • • ALL WERE STATE INSTITUTIONS. I .’ The Gorinpnla Was the First to Succumb Quickly Followed by the Other i Two—Officer. Claim the Suspension. Were Caused by the Distrust Created by the Failure of the Minnesota National. St. Paul, Minn., Jan. s.—As a direct result of the closing of the Bank of 1 Minnesota two weeks ago which created 1 new distrust among bank depositors j and started runs on a number of city : banks that were reputed not to be as I strong as depositors wished, three St. Paul- banks, *the Germania, the Allemania and the West Side, none of them national institutions, and all closely associated, yesterday closed their doors, one being now in the hands of the State bank examiner and the others making assignments. During the time that has intervened since the closing of the Bank of Minnesota, the Germania bank paid out $225,000 to frightened depositors and early yesterday the directors concluded that they would stop the drain and made an assignment to the cashier, Peter M. Kerst. The Allemania bank, which, like the Germania, had a large clientage among the Germans, and whose vice president had formerly been president of the Germania, then became the target for as lively a run as could be seen during panic times anywhere. People crowded about the doors and fairly fought for a place in the’ line before the paying teller’s window. The bank officials realized fully what such a run meant, and promptly called on Bank Examiner Kenyon to take possession of the bank, and that official is now in charge. The West Side bank, a small but possibly stronger bank, cleared through the Allemania, and yesterday its clearings were returned by the latter institution. Following this, there was a decided run inaugurated on the bank and the officials closed the doors and called a meeting of the directors to decide what action to take. Their decision was apparent later when they tiled a deed of assignment to Charles F. Staples, the president of the bank. Considerable public money is tied up in the three institutions, but there is an ample supply for all immediate needs in the other banks of the city. The assignment of the Germania and West Side banks has brought up a fomewhqt new question in the banking aws of the state,, and the courts will be called upon to settle it. The state bank examiner doubts their right to assign, holding that they should have, under the law, turned over their assets to him. The attorney general intimates that he will bring action to test the matter as soon as the papers can be prepared. During the day numerous reports of trouble among the other banks were current and a few banks suffered runs of greater or less intensity but the savings banks were protected by the law that allows them to require 60 days notice before paying out deposits and the national banks are in a strong condition and have no fear of anything of the sort. BANK CASHIER SUICIDES. Richard Cornelius Confronted With a Shortage Ihowiifi H’imftelf. Baltimore, Jun. 5. —Richard Cornelius, cashier, and for 42 years connected with the National Farmers’ and Planters' bank of which Enoch Pratt was president up to the time of his death, was discovered to be short in his accounts to the amount of about S6O- - yesterday.

When 1 Mr. Cornelius arrived at the bank he wak summoned before the board 6f directors. It is understood he claimed that he could make a satisfactory statement and he was allowed to go into another part of the bank to get a certain paper. He did not return and after the lapse of some time, the directors ascertained that he had .left the building. Detectives Were put OU his track and found his body in the pond. Recommends Criminal Proceedings. Chicago, Jan. s.—Criminal proceedings may,, be instituted against exCounty Recorder Samuel B. Chase as a result of an investigation of the accounts of his office. Experts have been working on the books for some time, and ■ yesterday County Attorney Iles made a formal report to the finance committee ' of the county board confirming the expert’s, repo"t, which showed a total shortage in the accounts of the office of over t 552,000, and recommending that criminal proceedings be instituted for ! its recovery.
