HOME SECURITIES.
TRADERS MAKE PLENTY OF FIGURES
BUT DO LITTLE BUYING.

Railroads Coming Into Prominence-The
Local List stronger-Business Slow, With
No Radical Change in values--Only Two
Stocks Handled-The fractions.
Liberal bidding was the feature of the
stock calls yesterday, and the board was
well covered with quotations As nobody
was hit very. hard, it is probable figures
were piled up with view to consequential
benefits.
Only two stocks were traded in-Pleasant
Valley and Luster Both appeared to have
fair support, and were fractionally stronger.
Philadelphia Gas submitted to slight con-
cession, as did Electric. There were nine
bids for and II offers of bank stocks, with
no sales. Boatman's Insurance advanced
half point.
The excellent business of the railroads and
prospect of its continuance through next
year are bringing these securities into con-
siderable prominence and increasing their
Importance as an investment. The local list
is firmer. -Pittsburg and Western bonds
have an upward tendency.
At the last call Duquesne Traction was Of
fered at lS14 and Birmingham at IN Sales: /:
First call-No sales.
Second call-50 Pleasant Valley at 22a.

FRIDAY, Sept. II.
COUNTRY PRoDUCE-(Jobbing prices):
Dairy products of high grade are still in
limited supply, and markets are firm, with
tendency toward higher prices. Best
Elgin creamery is &c per pound higher than
it was week ago. Quality of Ohio cream
cry has greatly improved the past few days.
Ohio cheese of August make isvery firm at
outside quotations. Strictly fresh eggs are
scarce and in demand at 19c per dozen in
job lots. Supply of poultry has been
scarcely up to demand all this season, and
markets are very firm. The peach supply
was light to-day as compared with receipts
for the past few days, and price of good
stock shows an upward inclination. Other
fruits are dull and prices are nominal. Vege-
tables Of all kinds go slow, owing to the
abundance of fruits. Grapes are now COM

is in excess of demand.

LOUISIANA LOTTERY
0Hlcers Indicted by the U. s. Grand Jury
nt Charleston, w. Va, for Violation Of
tho Lottery Laws.

0flcers Indicted by the U. s. Grand Jury
Mt Charleston, w. Va, for Violation Of
tho Lottery Laws.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, Nov. 10. The
grand jury, which has been in session
in the U. S. district court here for the
past two weeks this morning reported
an indictment against Paul Conrad,
president, and fourteen others, direc-
tors and clerks of the Louisiana State
Lottery Co., for the violation of the U.
S. statute concerning the use of the
mails in permitting lotteries. The plan
adopted by the Louisiana lottery to
evade the operations of the law is
an ingenious one. For some time
past they have been sending
through the mails to various per-
sons throughout the state pamphlets
purported to be the printed decision of
the supreme court of Louisiana in re-
cent case in which the rights of the lot
tery people were adjudicated to GER
tain extent in the matter then in con-
troversy and closed. Between the
leaves of the pamphlet were also sent
envelopes Of the Southern Express Co.,
such as are used for the purpose of
transmitting money, the envelopes con-
taing directions how to send money,
and being addressed to the New Or
leans national bank, the well known
depository and financial agent of the
Louisiana lottery.
1t is claimed by the officials having
the matter in charge that the sending
of those pamphlets has been done for
the purpose of promoting the interests
of the lottery, and consequently in vio-
lation of law. For some time prior to
the convening of the present term of
court the data to form the basis of the
Indictment had been quietly gathered
by U. S. District Attorney Geo. G. Stur-
giss and his assistant, S. G. Burdett, aid
ed by the post Office authorities, and the
indictment was Wednesday placedin the
hands of the grand jury by District At
torney Sturgiss. 1t is a voluminous
document covering every phase of the
case, and is probably the longest in
dictment ever prepared in this State.
The outcome of the case will be watch
ed with much interest, and the public
will witness great legal battle when
the case goes to trial, as District At
torney Sturgiss and his assistants are
fully competent to meet the array of
legal talent the lottery people will en-
gage for their defense.

BRITISH FOREIGN OFFICE

Alleged to Be Responsible for the United
States Difficulty With Chill, with Malice
Prepense
LONDON, Nov. 19.-The hostile atti-
tude of the London Times toward the
United States on the Gillian question
was attributed, Wednesday, by a promi-
nent American long resident in London,
to inspiration from the British foreign
Office. The informant said in an inter-
view with the United Press that
it was greatly to the interest
of England that the United States
should have its hands occupied for some
time to come, so as not to interfere with
British plans in Europe and the east,
and that war with Chilli would be just
the thing to serve British purposes.
The speaker is known to have access
to the leading conservative clubs, and

MIDNIGHT MURDER.
A Man Killed by Woman ct Elk
hart, Ind.
Frank johnson Found Dead With Five
Bullet Wounds-Nothing Can BE
Found TO Throw Light on
the Terrible Tragedy.

VALPARAISO, Ind, Nov. % AT 1880
Saturday night, at EllShart, Ind, the
body of a man was found in the alley
in the rear OF the Standard hotel, well
tering in his blood. Near the corpse lay
woman's hat which had evidently
fallen off rs she hastily made
her escape, and here also was
the fateful revolver with which
she had committed the awful deed
that stamps her n murderess 1t was a.
self-cocking fve-shooter, and the con-
tents of every barrel had found it's
mark in the body of the lifeless man.
Investigation discovered the man to be
Frank johnson or Frank Jones, a nailor,
who not long since came to Elkhart
from Waterloo, and who had been in
the employ OK a contractor named
Straub.
The man was q stranger and but lit
tie is known of his history. Shortly
before the murder occurred johnson, or
Jones, was seen walking in company
with woman, and they were heard
talking in angry tones Not ten min
utes later five shots rang out.
loud and clear, and the assassin, ut
tering n frienzied cry, 81 have muir
dered himr' ran quickly away and was.
lost in the darkness of the night john
son sank to the ground. the blood gush-
ing from the ghastly wounds in all
parts of the body. The words, my
God, am shot" escaped his lips, and
all was over The crime was enshrouded
in the darkest mystery until Sunday
morning when the murderess was
taken into custody.
She was pitiable object having
wandered aimlessly about the streets of
the city until the break of dawn, when,
utterly exhausted, she sought the pro-
lection of the police. In her wild
delirium she tears at her hair, giving
utterance at the same time to the
most pitiful cries for mercy. At the
Jail, where she is watched by several
attendants, she constantly bemoans her
sad fate. The entire matter is shroud-
ed in mystery. Whether she is some
former friend of the man she killed,
who followed him here to carry out her
purpose of murder, or whether she is
his wife, driven to despair by his deser-
ton, is not known. The most accepted
theory is that Johnson cruelty deserted
her. who, goaded to desperation by his
heartlessness, committed the darkest OF
| crimes

Office has ordered that large number
of portable tents be manufactured for
the use of the eastern army corps, with
the view to the protection of the troops
from inclenlent weather in the
event of war with Russia. The
towns along the frontier of Ger
many are few and far between;
at least the towns where it would
he possible to quarter large bodies of
troops and the war Office is therefore
only taking a proper measure of pre-
caution to care for the soldiers should
war break out.
