JoHNsTowN, June 21.-Sheriff Stine-
man, who has been in Ebensburg for a few
days attending to the business of his office,
returned to Johnstown to-day. The Sheriff
doesn't think there will be much
trouble about the laying out of
the town. He SAYS Mr.. Caldwell
had made an accurate survey and map of
every piece of ground in Cambria coudtv
affected by the flood before the disaster hap
pened, and he believes, with the aid of this
atlas and map, the work will be very easy.
Judge Master also said there are records ex-
tant and enough boundary lines left to To-
cate every lot in the town.
The Sheriff said his deputies had not vet
been paid, but the money would be forth
coming some day. ISRAEL,

But this speculative movement seems to
take no account of the fact that wheat and
-four, equivalent to about 10000, 900 BUSH
els in excess of minimum stock will prob
ably remain from the last crop, July ], to
be added to new supply which promises to
exceed all requirements for the next year.
Corn is half cent and oats three-quarters
higher, for no other reason than because
wheat advances.
Cotton has declined an eighth. A long
expected break in coffee lowers the price
~ cents, with sales of 696, 900 bags. But
the price is still 15 cents for December op-
tions, against 81 cents year ago, and op-
orators wonder that the public does not buy.
Pork, lard and hogs are fraction lower;
sugar unchanged for this week, and leather
half cent higher for some grades. The
general tendency of prices has been slightly
upward.
The heavy shipments of gold this week
are surprise to many, and are attributed
by some bankers to the needs of the Bank
of France and the large expenditures of
Americans at the exposition. But the bal
ance of foreign trade has for months been
so heavily against this country that no
such explanation of gold shipment is
necessary.
TRADE AGAINST US.
For June. thus far, merchandise exports
from New York are 16 per cent largef than
last years, with imports somewhat smaller,
but even these changes would leave heavy
balance to be met by shipments of securities
of gold. Atpresent the tenn per of speculation
does not encourage the belief that foreign
buyers will take railway securities largely.
On the contrary, decentralization of rail
rates is likely to be followed by foreign
sales. The stock market is little lower
than week ago, but with great speculative
strength still shown in the stocks which
have been controlled by powerful combina-
tions.

rFROM STAFF CORRESPONDENCE
JoHNsTowN, June PA great deal has
been said and written about where the
Gautier works will be rebuilt. General
Manager John Fulton, of the Cambria Iron
Company, said to day the directors would
meet next week, when this question would
be settled. He claimed not to know where
they will be located Two sites have been
considered, one on the Bishop tract, near
Sheridan station; the other the old site in
Woodvale The chances are strongly in
favor of Woodvale.
Judge Masters, Superintendent of lands
and dwellings of the Cambria Iron Com
panv, said to-day:
l think both the steel and wire mills will be
rebuilt on the old site. and the property hold
ers along Portage street are willing to ex-
change their land for lots on Center street and
on higher ground. These lots the iron COM
pany need, and beside. the people are anxious
to live as far as possible from the water. l
don't think there will be much trouble about
the exchange when the time comes. Their lots
have been badly washed out and are covered
with sand.
The Cambria Iron Company will lease from
800 to 400 lots at Morrellvle. at the rate of to
cents per month. each, for the location of as
many portable houses. A number will be
placed for the people on the hills above Wood
vale. None of these buildings will be put in
the center of the washed out districts. The
new town at Morrellville. on the James tract,
will be known as Hastings.
1t is the intention of people living here to
make Johnstown about eight feet higher than
it has been. The town will be filled in that
much. and the bed of the river will be left
where it is. 1t is nonsense to say that the river
was not wide enough to cut off the water.
There was room enough under ordinary cir
cumstances, and no one could have foreseen
such disaster as has fallen upon us. The

off all the stagnant waters, making JohnstOwn
one of the healthiest or places. The sea wall
along the river to the viaduct is an excellent
idea, and will do much good.
1t is not true that the Cambria Iron Company
is buying in Millville, for the reason that with
an exceptional lot they now own all the land.
The johnson Company will rebuild their
works at Moxbam, in the near future, so
that Johnstown will maintain her old in
dustries. ISRAEL.

lFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
JoHNsTowN, June 21.-About $1,000 in
wages was paid out to-day by the account
ing department to the employees immediate
ly under General Hastings, and the con-
tractors were also given about 81 900 on
account to pay some of their workmen who
wanted to leave. The forces in the various
departments were cut down about 100 men
to-day.
Major Phillips returned from Sang Hol-
low. and said there was not enough stuff in
the river at that point to give any trouble.
He doesn't think it is the States business
to keep the entire river open. ISRAEL.

The Interesting Little Question of Crime
lido RfsI,on 1TuSf


Ida Bishop Must Answer.
About o'clock Thursday afternoon q
woman entered the wholesale millinery
store of J. D. Bernd & Co., on Liberty,
near Ninth street, and, going back to the
elevator, went upstairs to the ladies' dress
ing room: A short time after the woman
left the store, and, after her departure, it
was discovered that she had stolen a gold
headed umbrella, a pair of gloves, silk
veil, and 81 so in cash belonging to one of
the lady employees.
The matter was placed in the hands of
Detective Fitzgerald, and a description of
the woman was furnished him. Yesterday
afternoon Detective Fitzgerald arrested the
woman, whose name is Mrs. Ida Bishop, and
who is we'll known to the police. She was
found on Market square.
