Longv,ew Bank Robbers Get Away.

PARIS, Texas, May 2s.-The Long
view bank robbers are now far from
RAILROAD and telegraph lines. A re-
port comes that they crossed the
Frisco railroad thirty miles north
last night, headed for the Kiamitia
mountains, and doubtless reached
them before dawn. A rumor preva-
lent here is that the deputy marshals
run on the robbers AMI killed one and
captured the others. This is believed
untrue. 1t is now thought they are
beyond capture.

A TRIPLE BALLOON-ASCENSlON.
Three Acronauts Go Up Thousands of Feet,
but Land In Safety.

The balloon ascension at the baseball
park yesterday afternoon was an une-
quiyocal success. Quite large number OF
persons assembled at the grounds TO wit
ness the event. which proved to BE- no less
picturesque ana attractive than II was in
tresiing and wonderful.
The immense hOt-air balloon Norfolk"
70 which three parachutes were affixed.
is 10 feet from top to bottom. while the
circumference Is rs feet. Tn re was some
little delay IN starting owing to the fact
that some malicious person or persons
had cut several of the ropes which gov
ernel the parachutes. Shortly after
I O'Clock, however the balloon was sent
adrift. and started upward at an immense
velocity, bearing Professor ODell and
two assistants, w. Foster and c. Ray
mond. hanging 10 their respective para
chutes. The balloon rose straight from
the ground for about 200 feet, when 1t
was carried slowly eastward by cur
rent Of air. The first drop was taken by
W. Foster at about 5000 feet, tn second
by C. Raymond. who travelled most Of the
distance 10 the earth headfOremost, at
about 5000 feet, ana the last by Professor
O'Dell. at about 1900 feet
From the time the balloon was sent
adrift tin Professor O'Den came to the
ground occupied about twenty minutes
All three men alighted within three blocks
Of the baseball park. while the balloon
fell at the corner of Main and Belvidere
streets.
There will be exhibitions this afternoon,
when four persons will ascend, and to-
morrow with five persons.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, December B-Speculation
at the Stock Exchange was more active
and business was better distributed than
for a long time past. The sales were
2i2,65g shares. OF which Sugar figured for
The enormous total Of 1900 shares. The
reasons advanced for the rise from S7H
yesterday to 90 at the close to-day. ex-
dividend of per cent, did not satisfy
the street The practical defeat OF the
free-sugar BILL and the advance in refined
to-day of l-lsc. per pound, in the opinion
Of fpany, account for the enhanced price.
IL will be remembered that President
Havemeyer In his famous interview pre-
vious to the declaration OF the regular
dividend. stated that the. trade was in
poor shape. and ordered the closing down
OF all the trust refineries subsequently
the order was modified, and later, when
the directors met. he was oyerruled in
the matter of the dividend. This, 1t Is
claimed, has created internal dlssensions,
and one of the biggest battles In the his
tory OF this most phenomenal stock Is now
going on. The average trader IL not dis
posed TO touch the stock. and the giants
OF the sugar trade have the field to them
selves. The outcome. II is needless TO add,
Is awaited with the greatest interest.
Notwithstanding the extreme interest In
Sugar operators paid considerable atten-
tion to thu railway list. The street has
come to the conclusion that the S9nate
will pass the Patterson pooling bill, ana
that, too. at an early date. The I'M
preston also prevails that the Rock
Island directors. who are to meet shortly,
will see their way clear to declare the
usual dividend; Furthermore earnings
this month. at least. are likely to make
good showing as compared with the cor
responding period last year.
The matters just referred to caused
complete change OF sentiment, and there
was good buying for both accounts
Neither London selling nor the engage
ment Of g 10000 I'm gold for shipment to
Europe on Saturday had any effect. The
Improvement I'm prices ranged from y 10
~ per cent, and as rule the best figures
OF the day were current at the close
Speculation left off strong. Net changes
show gains Of 12GlR per cent. outside OF
Sugar, which rose 3fs per cent. BuHaio

81. against 20, the last reported sale before
to-day.
