April I—The great provision deal on the Board of Trade, which for twelve months has kept the price of pork, lard and ribs under the domination of two fir-*s, was loosened up to-day. Cudahy and Fairbanks, who have, since March. 1892, been in command of tte provision market, have abdicated. They are satisfied seemingly with $3.(XU,000, which they are said to have cleared upon their twelve* months’ manipuia - tlou The markets for provisions to-day, with out the support which those firms have iieen In the habit of giving them, were extremely weak. There was a drop of $1 per barrel in pork and $1 per 100 poun !a in lard When the crowd saw that hog meats were abandoned by their late supporters there was a general rush to un load, resulting in the heavy decline referred to. The big drop in the price of provisions was the principal feature of the markets to-day. Every thing else was similarly affected, but at a less depressing extent than the provision deal.

GIBSON'S SHOT WAS TRUE, An Indianapolla Man Graphically Telle How Ho Flew a Mexican. 1 From the Minneavolit Journal. "Have you ever killed a man, coloneir The question was asked of Col. R. j. Q liy son. an American by birth aud a native of Indianapolis, who hails now from Mexioo where he has been in tbe service of the gov ernment hb a military attaobe for the lu* eight years. The colonel was enter>aining a little parry at the West hotel with stori-s of bis adventures lu the country east of the Rio Grande, some of wbich are full of inter est tor those unused to the ways of the genus * ‘greater." He seemed staggered at the abruptness of tbe query and the expres sion of bis face changed from gay to grave in an instant. Leaning forward he knocked the ashes from bis cigar, replaoed it in his mouth and blew half a dozen deliberate whiffs before answering. “Yes,” he said at last, in a voice that was subdued by contrast with his reoeut speech “1 killed a man ocoe. The act was o-omrait-' ted in self-defense, but I shall carry the recollection of it to my grave.” Here there was pause and another clcud of smoke from the colonel’s long Havana. His manner indicated thaf this particular adventure had left a sore spot in the man's memory, and no one ventured to hurry him. "I don’t speak of this very often,” re sumed the colonel. “I cannot think of it without recalling the expression of intense hate and fury on tho face cf tho man as ha died. I shot him, and he was dead in two minutes. He fell down in a bunch of mes quite grass, and at first I thought he was killed outright. I remember that tbe only sensation I felt on seeing him fall was one of intense satisfaction that my bullet had sped true. Then I saw his body writh and twist, his hands olutohiiig at tbe grass stems and a feeling of humanity overcame tbe revenge ful spirit in me. I ran to where ha lay and turned him face upward. He was shot through both lungs, and the rattle was in his throat as I reached him. The loos of hate and fear combined on his face was ap palling in its intensity. Even as I turned him he spat at rae the blood and saliva that was oozing from his lips. Hissing, gasping nnd writhing m agony, he even then strug gled to get the rifle which bad fallen beyond his reach. I took a flask of brandy from my pockets, determined to relieve the man’s dying moments as much as possible. With n supreme effort he struck the flask and sent it spinning ont of uvy hand away Into the brush. It was his last act. The next instant he lay dead at my feet.” There was silence for fully a moment. The colonel was blowing dense clouds of smoke again, and it seemed that he didn't intend to finish the story. “What Aid you kill him for, colonelP asked somebody. “Eh! O, I hired him at San Antonio to aot as guide on a bunting tiip. When we had been out a week or two I had come to the conclusion from several actions of his that my servant would bear watching. Wa were camped in a river bottom one evening and I expected to get some game about sun down. I was Bitting on a camp stool read ing a oopy of an old newspaper that happened to be among my traps. “Something struck me on the cheek with a sharp sting, and there was the report of a rifle. I grasped my Winchester and jumped up, putting my hand to my fare. Blood was streaming from it. Over in ths bush, fifty feet away I saw a little curl of white smoke slowly issuing. The bushes mored, and 1 knew that my enemy was there. Quick as thought I threw up the rifle aud fired almost at random. There was a shriek of pain, an upward plunge of a dark figure, then a inau burst through the brush and fell face down. The Win. Chester had done its work.” Again there was a period of silence. The listeners were waiting for the rest of the story, but the colonel seemed anxious to quit the subject. "I tell you what," he said, suddenly re suming h’9 former breezy style of conversa tion, “you can’t trust a greaser. He’ll do you any time for ass bill. One consolation I have in this affair is that I paid that fellow for his services two weeks iu ad vance.” Local Record tor the Mommy News.
