.,Efat seeks Of Coin


SAcRASf ES1os Gal, Oct 13.-Over $50
O0J the value OF the booty secured
by the two tall robbers who held up the
Central Overland between this city and
Davisville.
The robbers throughout showed them
selves to be cool men. Wells-Fargo u
Co and the Southern Pacific railroad
recognize the fact that they have no or
binary criminals to deal with. conse-
quentIy they are exerting every effort,
putting forth every energy to run down
the men and their rich loot
The two corporations have offered a re-
ward Of $4,000 for the capture OF eacn Of
the robbers and 5000 for the recovery
OF the coin This IS in addition to the
usual state reward The rewards are
sufficiently large to put the most skilled
detectives and the bravest officers on
their mettle
They secured four fat sacks Of coin
Three were full Of gold In'one was
the less valuable white metal Two of
the sacks contained $4,000 each In the
third was the sum Of $4,000. The fourth
sack was full of silver, and it is presumed
the Tull booty of the robbers was between
$01, 900 and $4,000. Where the money
was - go, the Wells Fargo officials ala
not say.
The weight Of the plunder was SO great
that Il Is supposed the bold mara1ders

He referred TO Arch bishop Ireland as
a man who carries a United States sena-

and added that the archbishops Of Amer

doors plotting against free schools and
the free institutions of America.

TURNER NOT INDICTED.
The Grand jury Does Not Indiet. But He
is Rearrested.

New complications have arisen in the
case Of the counterfeiter, Frank J. Tur-
ner, who was arrested last summer IN the
POppendick building. and an engraving
of a 50 bill was found in his room.
The grand jury, which was in session
at Leavenworth. failed to indict Turner,
but indicted the two men, Teter and Hoff-
hines. who were arrested as accompIices
The reason given for the failure to in
dict Turner is that the jury understood
that he was very sick.
W. A S. Bird, who is Turner's attorney,
made a demand for Turner'S release from
the county Jail, but was told that he mad
been rearrested on the same charge.
He will have another hearing before

The fact was, he had just taken that
mans place, and assumed his proverty,

Tack Trust.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-The Atlas
Tack Corporation has become trust.
It controls 80 per cent. of the tack and
shoe nail product Of this country. This
monopoly was formed originally ten
years ago. Its plan of operation then
was to take in competing interest and
pay premiums on profits; also to pay
the expenses of men unemployed be.
cause of being laid off by the trust.
The annual profits then were about 81,
100000. But some 40 per cent. went
for "dead wood" or idle men. jan
uary last the corporation sent out
new price list, prices being advanced
an average of 10 to IL per cent. JAN
uary "a a second list showed an addi-
tional increase of similar percentage.
1t was not until April IA though that
the Boston corporation showed its
hand In full by making an additional
increase. which has been figured out BY
an expert in this city at So l 3 to 30
per cent. over the other two increases.
This makes total increase over the
prices before January l last of from
80 to 65 per cent. While the profits
under the old combination we're $780,
OOO, of which 40 per cent. went for
premiums, etc., Treasurer Parks is
declared on good authority to have
said that the present profits are from
100000 to 100000 year, with
nothing to be paid for premiums or
"daad wood"

bullets in his breast. About thirty

were, and he said he did not want to
die "iike an Indian" When all was
ready the marshal >! cried: Make ready ey

Cotton Never So Low,

NEW YORK, Sept. PA new low
price record was made for cotton today
when October contracts sold at 6 27 and
further sold off to GA. The lowest
previous record was in 1892, when
March contracts sold at 6.28. In ante
bellum days still lower prices were oc-
casionally current under slave labor, but
never before in the history of the Cot
tcn Exchange has the price OF the staple
touched the low figure now current.
The immediate cause of the decline is
the large movement Of cotton at the
interior with an Indifferent market for it
even at present prices. Sentiment on
Change is bearish and as loH as 6 cents
ls predicted for cotton in the not remote
future, based on the expectation Of a
100000 bales crop, with 9,5O0,O 600
bales possible and no estimate worth
considering below 8 100000 bales. In
view of the bearish conditions prevailing
there is lage accumulation OF short In
terest here and the pessimistic view OF
the future generally taken leads some OF
the more careful operators to be conser-
vative, as IL the event ofan7 bull move
ment being started the short interest
would be an important factor in rapid
advance of the price.
