A Hone Attached to a Lftttodry Wafoa Daahee Through a Crowded Market. CiNcnnrATi, April 90.—A lively runaway occurred in Covington, Ky., in which a number of persons were injured, nme of them •eriously. A horse attached to a laundry wagon bocame frightened and started up Madison street at a fearful rate, sweeping everything before him. When the horse reached Pike street he dashed through the market, which waj crowded with people. How a number of them escaped being iuitantly killed is a miracle. The animal was finally halted at Seventh street. Among the Injured are the following: BARE HEADS GREET HIS APPEARANCE AT A WINDOW. Wilxesbakre, Pa., April 2».—The Re* Dr. David Stern, of New York, formerly rabbi of the Jewish Temple in this qjty, commttod suicide at the Wyoming Valley hotel. He arrived here from Philadelphia and retii ed at about 11 o'clock. At 3 the door of his room was broken open, and he was found dying on the bed. A glass containing laudanum was on a table in the room. Letterj were found addressed to friends and relatives bidding them good-by. On a paper beside him was written: "I took poison at 10 o'clock." LONDON DECKED WITH HIS FAV ORITE FLOWER. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL AT NEW IYORK AND CHICAGO. The club was found in the barn. Jones had doubled the clothes line, passed the loop back over tho doubled rope in a bale hitch, and after tying the other end to a rafter, while standing on a ladder, and dropping the hitch over his head had kicked the ladder away. Chief of Police John Budd, of Plainfleld, said: "It is plain that Jones was crazy. While Mrs. Kenny was sewing in front of the kitchen stove he evidently struck her from behind, and twice more while she was trying to escape through the parlor and out of the front door. The murder was probably done about 7 or 8 p. H. on Saturday. Jones must have locked the door from the Inside and climbed out of the window, for nil the doors ware locked. He probably did lie in wait on the outside of the hduse to kill Mr. Kenny, but when, contrary to his expectations, Mr. Kenny did not linger about the house, ha ' knew that the crime would be found out immediately, and resolved to kill himself. He then went into the barn in the dark and hanged himself. The Shocking Spectacle That Greeted • New York Man's Relnrn to His Mew Jersey Home — The Blur" dervr Hangs Himself.

J., on Saturday night, William Jorteat sfworkman on the (arm, killed with an an the gray-haired wife of his employer, Alexander Kenny, and then hanged himself in the barn. Mrs. Kenny and the workman were the only persons in thebouse or on the premises. Mr. Kenny is a stone mason, 70 years old, and he lives six days in the week at 410 East One Hundred and Thirteenth street in New Yerk city. With his wife and ■even children, Mr. Kenny moved to the' farm from Winfleld, Long Island, ten years ago. It Ilea partly in a densely wooded and desolate valley between two spurs of the Orftnge mountain range and partly on the spar called Beeond mountain. A dismal road over the first mountain, known as Bine Ridge, runs northward to Union village in Somerset county. Two miles from Flainfield a by-path hardly fit for wagon travel leads from the main road through shrubbery and underbrush, and winds around hills and traverses dense woods far a mile until the Kenny farm is reached. The farm itnlf is little MM than a clearing in the woods. Mr. Kenny owns 50 acres of the woodland.'Across the house tall alms, beeches and maples throw their shadows. NiW York, April 90.—All New York that could get out of doors yesterday went out, and a fair proportion of those who selected Central Park as the place in which to taste their first breath of spring took in Gen Grant's house as one cf the points of interest. From 11 o'clock in the morning until after 6 at night swarms of people poured through Sixty-sixth street, between Fifth and Madison avenues. In the afternoon there was constantly a stationary and a moving crowd in front of the Grant residence. The statement in the newspapers that the general had appeared at his window and sainted the reporters the day before led many to hope that there might be a reappearance yesterday. A characteristic of the crowd was the fact that a great majority of those composing it were people whose dress indicated that they were well-to-do. Ladies were perhaps in a majority over gentlemen. Costly wraps and dresses were a conspicuous feature of the gathering. There was no indication from the house that the unusual concourse had attracted attention until about noon. Then the curtains of one of the library windows were drawn aside, and Gen. Grant, in his silk skull cap and his dark dressing gown, with the red silken handkerchief knotted about his throat, as on the day before, appeared, leaning upon his cane. Instantly every hat in the crowd was removed, and many ladies waved their handkerchiefs. The general bowed in response and quickly retired from view. On. several occasions duriug the afternoon he appeared at the different windows of his sleeping apartment and the library, and he always found the same concourse in the street. His desire for fresh air and sunlight and for glimpses of the reviving life of the new season are something touching. He wishes above all things to gp out for a drive, but his physicians feel that the air is still too harsh for that, and he obeys orders. London, April 80.—In this great city the celebration In honor of Lord Beacons- Hold was. continued yesterday, which it the iwrroct date of the anniversary, as the great Tory premier died on April 19, 1881. The preliminary celebration Saturday, extensive t.nd enthusiastic as it wes, wat confined to those whose engagements or c restrained them from celebrating on SiuiJuy. Yesterday the streets were full of "primrose pilgrims" from the suburbs, and the Btatue of Lord Beaconsfleld was again covered with wreaths, pillows, broken columns, etc., all composed of his favorite flower. The number of people carrying primroses either in their hands or button-holes has never been equaled at any former anniversary of either Lord Beaconsfleld's birth or death.

Stutphen, of Somerville, impanelled a jury of farmers. Mrs. Kenny's body was in the parlor in a coffin, and Jones' body was sent to the morgue in Plainfield. It is not known that he had relatives in this country. At the brief inquest Mr. Kenny and Agnee testified. Agnes said that when she played on the organ Jones seemed to fly into a rage. Other witnesses were the farmers whom Mr. Kenny requested to assist him on Saturday. Lo ydok, April 90.—The death of Mr. Edward Pierrepont, the American charge d' affaires at Rom*, was not caused by Roman fever, as ha* been reported, bat by typhoid fever complicated with an affection of the heart He was ill for five weeks, and received tlio most assiduous attention of three physicians and unremitting kindness from Baron von Keudell, the German ambassador a* Rom*. Everything that science and friendship oould suggest was done to prolong his life, and it is probable that he would have recovered had it not been far the heart disease, which was the immediate cause of his death. His funeral yesterday from St. Paul's American church was a peculiarly impressive ceremonial. The services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Kevin, rector of St. Paul's. All the foreign ministers were pressnt and nearly every member of the diplomatic oorps. The congregation also included many representatives of the court, prominent members of the English and American colonies, and many ladies and gentlemen of the Roman nobility. Numerous choice wreaths and floral designs were presented by the ladies and by the municipality of Rome. Among the most beautiful offerings were those sent by the Princess Vicovaro and the Marchioness GavottL The German ambassador took general charge of the ceremony and selected the pall bearers, the full list of whom is as follows: Lieut. Gen. Coont Pasi, first aid-decamp to the king; Signer Mancini, minister of foreign affairs; Baron von Keudell, German ambassador; Baron Bernard ITUskull, Mr. S. H. M. By ers, American consul general, and the Duke del Elano. The Uraldo states that the interment is only temporary, pending the arrival of Mr. Pieirspont's father and mother, who are on their way to Europe on the steamer Eulda, and are yet unaware of their son's death. The letter being written at Philadelphia fhows that the determination to commit suicide was in his mind when he came here. CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. A* received over private wire by Judd.

Illinois, and Pennsylvania, having preached on many occosions in New York and Philadelphia, his sermons being printed by newspapers. He was a remarkable man, an eloquent and profound thinker. It is a small, square, loose-jointed house, and many years ago it was painted. A tumble down shed, called the barn by the proprietor, stands on the hillside a few yards from the house, and inside it yesterday were two cows and a horse. A .black and white mastiff, of unusual size, roams the clearings by day and is locked in the house at night. FVom this place, which Mr. Kenny called his home, be has for many years been in the habit of going to Plainfteld every Monday morning and riding to his businMt in the city. On Saturday night he retained to his New Jersey home. It was hi% custom to walk from the railroad station to his home. Wearying of the three miles of walking after nightfall, Mr. Kenny, three years ago, visited Castle Garden and hired William Jones, Just from England, to work on the tarin and to take him to the railroad station on Monday morning and bring hind home on Saturday night. Jones was undersized, about 36 years old, stolid and uneducated, and was not seen in Flainfleld once a year. Mr. Kenny says Jones1 wages were (8 a month and board. Tho workman was treated as a member of the family in every way. He sat at the tob e with them at meals, and was as much at home in the house as were any of the members of the household. All of the sons are grown to manhood, and are working at their trades in this city. Until recently one of the daughters remained at home, while thi other went out to service. Mrs. Kenny kept with her Agnes, the younger daughter, 28 years old, a good-looking young woman. Jones was not esteemed a bright man by his employer, and when Mrs. Kenny told him, a few weeks ago that Jones had taken a fancy to Agnes and bad made himself unpleasant to the young woman, Mr. Kenny decided to send Agnes to live in Flainfleld as a domestic, rather than to permit her to be subjected to Janes' presence. About a week ago Agnet procured a situation in the family of Mr. A. C. Baldwin, in Park avenue, Plainfield.The verdict was that William Jones, in a fit of temporary insanity, killed Mrs. Kenny and then committed snicide. It Served Them Bight. TRACKING A MURDERER. Brooklyn, April 30.—John Maddon, aged 89, of 21 Willow place, and Patrick O'Malley, aged 23, of 367 Hicks street, visited the residence of William Smith at 51 Emmet street, where they drank a considerable amount of beer. When they became intoxicated they went down stairs to the floor below, occupied Reynold* Ryland and his wife Mary, a woman about 26 years of age with the purpose of cleariug out the Ryland family. They broke in the door and knocked Mr. Ryland down. His wife picked up a table knife and attacked her husband's assailants. They attempted to escape, but she pursued them into the hallway. She overtook Smith at the foot of the stairs and plunged the knife into his back. She stabbed CMallay in the head and Madden in the wrist. The men, who were seriously injured, were taken to the Long Island Hospital. Mrs. Ryland was arrested and taken to the third sub-precinct station. Thero she preferred charges of malicious mischief and assault against the three men, who were al*o placed under arrest. A Strange Story Which Comes From liozeiikan, Montana. THE PRECIOUS METALS. St. Paul, April 30.—A Bozeman, Mont., spocial to The Pioneer Press says: "Three years ago Rudolph Zimmerman, a wealthy farmer, living at Breitenberg, Bavaria, was murdered and robbed of a large sum of money which he carried on his person. The police failed to discover the perpetrators of the crime. At last the secret of the crime has been divulged by a woman in Berlin. In the meantime Schneider had come to America and settled in Montana. He embarked in railroad contracts, and succeeded in making a good deal of money. About a year ago he fell in with two brothers of the murdered Zimmerman, and they formed • copartnershid for carrying on the business of lumbering in the mountains near Boaeman. Report of the Director of the Mint 01 Their Production. Washington, April 30.—Mr. Burchard, the director of the mint, in his special annual report on the production of gold and silver in the United States fcr tJO year 1884, whioh i) now ready for the printer, estimates the production of the country to have been: Gold (80,800,000; silver, computed at the silver dollar coining rate, $48,800,000; total, $79,- 600.000. The disposition of the product of the year is approximately stated as follows: Deposited—gold, $80,000,000; silver, $30,300,- 000. Undeposlted exports—gold, $116,000; silver, $16,400,000. Used in the arts—gold $684,000; silver, Total gold, $30,- 800,006; total silver, $18,860,000. Mr. Burchard's report also shows that S3 Incorporated compauies working gold and silver mines paid during the year, in  dend*, $7,667,668. During the same period some'SOT assessment s * ere levied on 117 mines, on whiph it is estimated that over $4,060,00( have been paid. The director's report also contains detailed reviews of the production of the various states and territories, and of the mining sections and properties as well at many valuable statistical tables of production, consumption, imports, exports, coinagt and circulation, and a number of scientific and metallurgical articles. His little grandchild, Nellie, the daughter of Mr. Jesse Grant, is a particularly merryfaced and pretty little girl. She came down the steps of the house, accompanied by her father, at one time in the afternoon when the general happened to be at the window and the people were greeting him. She followed all other eyes and looked up at the window where was the wan face of the invalid. PETROLEUM. OilOitt, April M,—Opening. Highest Finest. Ck»ln(».

"Oh, there is grandpa," she said, and putting the tips of her fingers to a very roeebud of pursed-up lips, she blew the general a dainty little kiss that had just a suspicion of mischief in it. Then she walked jauntily away, with her father holding her hand, in the direction of the park. About a week ago the Zimmerman brothers received a letter from a relative in Germany stating that they were on the track of the murderer of their bwither, and hoped in their next letter to be able to state wbo he was. This letter was read to Schneider, who appeared greatly excited and talked incoherently when discussing some business matters, but they suspected nothing. The next morning Schneider packed his valise and said he was going out hunting. After three days' absence their fears were aroused. Search was instituted, and their oomrade was tracked to a precipice, where broken bushes and trampled snow indicated a death struggle, and the disappearance over the cliff of some one. They took it for granted that Schneider had lost his life in an encounter with a bear, returned to Boaeman, applied for letters of administration an Us property, which the Judge is about to grant, when a telegram was received from Germany stating that Schneider was the murderer of their brother Rudolph. It was at once apparent that Schneider had prepared the evidence of his death for the purpoee of misleading his partners, when he made his escape. He leaves a large amount of personal property. fW«H «. Brooklyn, April 20.—About 5:30 o'clock last night a fire broke out in the third story of the Colored Howard Orphan asylum in Dean Btrest, near Troy avenue. The children were at supper on the first floor at the time, and when the cry of flre was raised, they all made a rash for the door. Those in charge of them, however, soon had them under control and they were all safely marched out of the building. The firemen wore promptly on hand, and in less than half an hour the flre was extinguished. Tho damage, which is confined to tho third floor, will not exceed $3,000, covered by an insurance of $16,000 in the Phoenix company. Fir* In a Colored Orphan Axylnm. Gen. McClellan was one of the visitors at the house yesterday. The spring exhibition at tha new Hanover gallery, In Bond street, waa opened Saturday, thus anticipating both tha Groeveraor gallery and the National academy. The picture which is likely to create tha most sensation is by Campotosto. It is a charming fulllength portrait of the actress Miss Fortescne, who is represented as leaning against a tree in a pensive and somewhat lackadaisical attitude. Her expression is that of a love-lorn maiden, whom not even the magic of £ si d. can quite console. The suggestive title of the picture Is "Lost Illusions," In unmistakable reference to Miss Forteecue's famous breach of promise suit by which she compelled Lord Garmoyle, or, rather, Us father, the late Earl Cairns, to pay same $50,000 far trifling with her affections. The new Earl Cairns, who was the Lord Garmoyle at that episode, arrived at London to-day an his return from the United States. Dr. Shrady left the house at 3 o'clock, and said he should not return until Wednesday unless specially summoned. At 9:25 in tha evening Dr. Douglas came with the intention of staying all night Senator Stanford and Dr. Newman left the house together in the evening. Senator Stanford said the general was stronger by far than he was two weeks ago, and that he was stronger than he had been just before the hemorrhage. Dr. Newman said the family were sanguine and that Sunday was the seventh consecutive day in which the general had been bright and in good spirits. When Senator Stanford and the doctor called Gen. Grant was up stairs. He was under the impression that Mrs. Stanford was with the senator, and he walked with little support down stairs to greet her. He went into the parlor for a moment and greeted the callers, and then went up stairs again by the elevator. He slept soundly for an hour in the afternoon without the aid of a narcotic. He lay down of his own accord and slept upon his bedsomething that he bad not done before for many weeks. Col. Grant sent out word in the evening that there would be no mght bulletin, as it was the intention of Dr. Douglas to leave the patient and go home, tho general's condition being so remarkably favorable. Dr. Douglass, however, changed his mind and decided to remain all night, Mrs. Grant having urgently requested him to do so. Suapaiuloa ot the International Bank ol Guatemala. New Omjcans, April 20.—A passenger bj the steamer Dallas, from LlYlngsteo, reports that the International Bank of Guatemalf has suspended. Barrios enforced a loan o; $800,000 in railway deposits from the bank and having about #909,000 in railroad fundon hand, the institution suspended as • mat tar of precaution. The bank had a paid-uj capital of $1,500,000, held principally it Europe. lie flre was caused by a defective flue, and when the firemen left the building had been so completely drenched with water tKat the 86 children had to find temporary shelter, which was kindly provided by the neighboring asylum.  Agnes visited her mother on Friday afternoon last She was the lut person who saw Jones and lira. Kenny alive. She went away on Friday afternoon. The nearest house is half » mile away. On Saturday night last Mr. Kenny alighted from the can at Plainfield and was surprised when William Jones did not meet him, and no one in response to his inquiries could be found who had seen him. Mr. Kenny started in the darkness to walk home. On the way through the black forest he picked up a big cudgel, partly for the purpose of feeling his way, and partly as a defense against his' own dog, which he bethought himself might not recognise his voice. Arrived at the edge of the clearing, he stopped. No lights were in the house. Elowly he picked his way toward the house, and stopped attain. A faint whining noise and then a rustling came from the recesses of the woods on the further side of the clearing. Be called out. POWDER A BUhop Consecrated. Fhelan Will Appear Against Short.

They explained that White Cap's band was induced to visit Riel by a promise of plenty of provisions, and had been farced to remain with him. The three captives had been up to the reserve for horses and were on their way back when taken. They said Riel waa at his house at Batouche. He had 250 halfbreeds with him, and still detained seven prisoners. Gen. Middleton allowed one of the Indians to go and report to White Cap on wLat he had seen, and tell him to return to his reserve. He promised to reward him if he brought Riel's prisoners with him. Two more of Riel's scouts were seen to pass near the camp at Clark'* crossing on their way north. District Attorney Randolph B.
