STOCKS ana CarrIe Markets.

New YORK. Aug. I3.-The stock
market today displayed a firm to strong
tone, which, but for the influence of the
Union Pacific, might have been the cause
of a material improvement in prices. The
market during the last few days has
shown an unmistakable disposition to
break away from Union Pacific, aud asser.
tons are not wanting that the attack upon
Union Pacific vas entirely for the purpose
of picking up stocks In other directions.
Union Pacific today was still the most
conspicuous figure in the market, but
transactions were on a much larger scale
than during the last few days. Atchison,
St. Paul and Rock Island we're the fea-
lures of the trading, but the remainder of
the market showed no animation. The
market finally closed quiet and firm, gen.
orally at small fractions better than last
nights figures.

The late lamented Bishop Kavanaugh,
of the Methodist church, who was as
ugly as eloquent and as jolly as good
never tired of telling stories about his
distinguished but unfortunate friend,
Tom Marshall, of Kentucky. The two
men were var personal friends, not
withstanding the striking antithesis of
character and the not less striking diff
ference in personal appearance. Mar
shall vas handsome and commanding.
The bishop was anything but hand
some; he was about as trim as a barrel
and graceful as a sack of salt. This ex-
PLANTATION is necessary for a proper ap-
probation of what follows, but when
the great divine used to tell the story
he would bring out the application by
incidentally stroking the wealth of
shapelessness hat hung to his person
like the ill fitting garments he wore.
One calm June evening the bishop
was disturbed by a noise in the direc-
ton of the barn. He CROPPED his way
thither and found Marshall in the hay
loft, where he had sought shelter and
lodging. Tenderly the son of misfortune
was escorted to the best room in the
bishops house and induced to go to bed
in civilized fashion. Between p~rodigious
efforts to get off his clothes, his brain
and tongue partially recovered their
cunning, and he said:
"Kav, do you know why you and /
make a good illustration of Bible his
toryT"
The bishop replied as he would to a
questioning child, mo, Tom. Why2"
"Well," said Marshall reverently and
pathetically, "the Saviour was without
where to lay his head. That's me. Then,
in the beginning, the Bible says, the
world was without form and void"
And surveying critically the bishops
pudgy stature, he finished with more
vehemence than
by the gods, that's you"-Galveston

THE CHICAGO SWINDLE.
1t is More Serious Than at
First Supposed.
The Number Of Victims Will
Reach 300.
A Message Received From
Manager Mortimer.
The Chicago SwindIe.

CHICAGO, Aug. l3.-Iavestigation re-
yeals the fact that the swindle perpetrated
by the National Capital Savings, Build
ing and Loan Association of North
America is even more serious and far
reaching than was at first supposed.
Lyndin Evans, attorney for N. H.
Tollman, vice president of the association,
admitted today that the number of
victims of the swindle would reach 300,
and that the cash on hand and In pros
pect will scarcely paw 20 per cent. MIR:
Evans figures that $50, 900 was received
BY the association, S3l 900 of which was
paid out to agents, leaving $4,000 to be
accounted for. OF this SIS, 900, Mr..
Evans said. there is S47, 900 in bank and
about 50. 900 due the association on loans
made. The $1,000, Mr.. Evans claimed. il
secured by first mortgages on zeal estate.
Those rather doubtful assets considered
$40. 900 are left, of which the books show
that Sl7 900 wen for expenses. The
balance Manager Mortimer got away
with. Mr.. Evans figures are dis
puted by Postofice INSPECTOR Stuart.
who claims that Mortimer got
away with much over $50. 00o. The Phil.
adelphia office. Mr.. Stuart says, has
never accounted for any of its receipts,
and thus Mortimer's defalcation is
swelled to a sun much larger hat the
books at the office here show. The Phil
adelphia Office was managed by a man
named Knight, who divided the receipts
with Mortimer. President Bowling was
unable Yesterday to secure bail, and he
remained IN custody of Marshal Hitch
cock. He admitted that the swindle was
a big one, but he threw all the blame on
the missing Mortimer. Il went into

sensations that II was to be conducted

The Inspector thinks he changed his mind

Eloped with Two Married Women.

EIoped With Two Married Women.
ANNANDALE, MIMI, Aug. l3.-Chas.
W. Wiudus, a barber hailing from Mime
apolis, has thrown not only this village
but the whole of Wright county into
fits. He has eloped with two pretty
women at the same time, both of them
married to prosperous men and each of
them the mother of three children. Each
OF them is about 25 years of age, and
they are four or five years older than the
gay Lothario who had the hardihood to
engineer the remarkable three cornered
matrimonial affair. The two foolish
women are Mrs. Samuel Wells. wife of a
merchant OF this place, and Mrs. Leander
Watson, who, until a few weeks ago, was
the happy spouse of a Smith Lake
farmer. Young Windus. who sails
under the name Of Charles W. Edwards,
and two or three other aliases when &C.
casion suits him, came to Annandale a
few months ago, and, being a good look
One day in July Mrs. Watson came over
from Smith Lake 10 visit her friend. Mrs.
Wells, and the former was introduced to
Windus by the latter. For several weeks
atterwaru Windus was pretty constantly
in the company of the women. The at
fair came to a climax late last week, when
the trio disappeared. The sudden de-
parture of the three soon became the
subject of general gossip. The husbands
of the missing women got their heads to-
gether and started on the wal path. They
learned hat their wives had gone to MIN
neapolis and decided to follow them. The
runaways were. however, posted by some
one in Annandale. and. being able to
anticipate their husbands coming, left
Minneapolis. Upon returning to AMMAN
dale the two abandoned husbands con-
suited the county attorney, and a warrant
was issued for Windus' arrest. The vii.
lage marshal. armed with this warrant,
vent to Minneapolis. He was person
ally acquainted with Windus and was not
long in locating him. But the clever
young barber had not put up so big a job
to be captured so easily. He managed to
slip away from the marshal and was soon
hid away in st. Paul, where he has been
living with the women in true Mormon
fashion. Officers are still searching for
him, and he will doubtless be bagged in
the next few hours.

CHAPTER III.

The little salon out of which one stepped
on to the white marble balcony was a very
pretty one. 1t had not been particularly
pretty when the lady in black and her
friend first took possession of it. Then it
had worn the usual unoarnished air of
nearly all hotel rooms. Now it was quite
bright md gay. The curiosity shops had
been lowed upon for antique brocades, for
rich tenderly faded old vestments whose
colors of a hundred or two years ago
melted into wondrous shades, and which
were draped OH tho wallis. and thrown oves
pieces of furniture. There were many
cushions covered with squares Of such bro
oade; there were draperies over the doors;
there were Spanish fans and odd tritles here
and there; there were studies Of peasants
and the Citta Vecchia, and branches Of
orange trees. and olives. and eucalyptus
blossom; there were bits of Louis Quntorze
silver and china and painted aud gilded
fans on the mantel; there we're bowls md
vases OF jonquils and mimosa and narciasi
and violets everywhere; there were many
~violets; the air was full OF their breath,
and wheresoever ones eye turned it rested

were several pictures of him, and each ono

When they we're walking or driving to-
gether she and the girl with the gray eyes
used to sit in the little salon among the
flowers and soft colors and talk of their
problems and dreams andimaginings. They
had a great many. Theirs was a very dear
friendship. They loved and understood
each other very tenderly and completely.
They had the same emotions, the same fan
cies. There was never any danger that one
could BIO too imaginative or subtle for the
other. They had the same tastes and sym
pathies. and the shades in which they varied
only gave interest to their thoughts and
words.
The evening after they had met Giovanni
was mild and warm, and the windows on
the balcony were open. The lady in black
lay upon this sofa with many cushions.
