FORTUNES WON in WHEAT.
Pools of Magnates Melted Millions of Dol
lars of Profit.

The recent phenomenal rise in the price
of wheat, probably the greatest ever known
in so short period, caused immense sums
of money to be lost and won on the Chicago
Board OF Trade.
Among the men who make the wheat
market business, Iumor conferred most
largely around Philip d. Armour as the
man who was making the greatest money
out of the market while the excitement
was at its heignt The profit on his indi.
vidual holdings as consequence of the
rise has been very generally placed in the
neighborhood of 5000, 600. In addition
John d. Rockefeller, Armour and an I'M
known New Yorker were banded together
in gigantic pool. The holdings Of this
pool were so great that at one time it prac-
tcally controlled all the wheat in Chicago.
and its supplies of the cereal in store at
other points was enormous. The pool is
said to have Melted between $l2, 600, 900
and SIS, 900, 900.
W. I. Baker, now for the third tina
president of the Board of Trade has prob.
ably been the most consistent and persist
ent bull in this market. Through all the de-
preston and encouragement of the low
market he held on to his wheat, and when
the raise came he reaped his reward with a
vengeance. After recouping himself from
his heavy losses of the past year and half
Mr. Baker is said to have won about IS, OOO.-
900 John r. Lyon, who has experienced so
many corners in wheat, was in the market
through the greater part of the raise. and
is credited with profit way up in the
hundred thousand. The same may be said
of S. A. Kent, of the Gas Trust, except
that he operated on larger scale, and some
say he must have made $3,OOO,0OO.

MINING DECISION.
Justice Brewer Says the Side Line
Proposition Is Not Covered
by statute.

Washington, D. G., April 1O.-The case
of the Last Chance Mining company
versus the Tyler Mining company, in
volving property in Idaho, has been de-
cided by the United States supreme court.
The case came to this court from the
United States circuit court of appeals
from the 9th circuit on motion of
writ of certiorari made by the Last
chance company. The decision of the
court OF appeals was in the interest of
the Tyler company. nhe decision Of the
supreme court reverses the decision and
is in the interest of the Last Chance COM
pany. The opinion was handed down by
Judge Brewer.
The supreme court opinion does not
go into the merits of more important
questions presented lE the case except
to point them out, but is confined to the
validity of the judgment rendered by the
Idaho district court before which the case
was first brought.
One OF the important questions in
volved which will probably be brought
out in the new trial which has been or
dered, and which may ultimately bring
the case to the supreme court is whether
the owner of mineral vein has the right
to follow the vein outside of the boun-
daries OF the claim extending downward
when it enters at an end line and passes
out at side line. Justice Brewer eaid
this was question apparently not covered
by statute and that it has never been
passed upon by the court.

BLOOD-ST CHURCH.
More About the Shocking Double
Tragedy in a san Francisco
Church.

San Francisco, April l9.-Doubt as to
the guilt of W. H. j. Durant, the medical
student accused formally of killing Miss
Williams and suspected of having slain
Miss Lamont, is freely expressed. There
has been an undercurrent of opinion,
the newspapers by the mother of the ac-
cused man, and also has been boldly
stated in anonymous letters to the cor
oner, that the actions of the pastor, Rev.
John George Gibson, have been 80
peculiar that the police might do we'll to
turn their searchlight on him. He stated
that the reason he had not visited Durant
in prison was because of the inhamed
state of public opinion. In spite of
these expressed suspicious against the
preacher, it is almost beyond doubt that
he Is not in any manner implicated, as his
whereabouts at the time Miss Williams is
supposed to have been murdered are
known. If it should be proved that Miss
Williams was not killed until midnight,
instead of between and 8 o'clock, then
there might be grounds for the suspicion
raised by many people. The inquest was
resumed this morning. One of the wit
nesses before the coroners Jury was
Elmer Wolf, an intimate friend of
Durant. Wolf was in the neighborhood
OF Emanuel church on the night Miss
Williams was murdered and claims to
have seen Durant within block of the I
edifice as he went home. Popular senti-
ment favors razing the church, which has
always been under cloud. Stains of
human blood mark its history. One
pastor killed newspaper proprietor and
another blew out his brains.
Later-The coroner's jury has found
Durant guilty of the murder of Miss
Williams.

No BlOOmers Allowed.

Kansas City, Mo-, April l9.--An ordi.
nance is to be introduced at this next
meeting of the Westport council by Alder.
man 3. H. Wheeler, which will doubtless
create CONSERVATION in the ranks of
women who ride bikes 1t provides that
the wearing of bloomers on the streets of
Westport shall be prohibited. Westport
IS residence town where many society
people live. Bicycling lately has become
quite the rage and within the past few
weeks great many bloomers have been
seen there.
Alderman Wheeler is prominent young
physician. It is highly probable that
when the ordinance is introduced it will
pass. Many of the council members are
stlcklers for dress, and are decidedly Oh.
posed to the bloomer craze.

WASHINGTON BUDGET.
British NicarsEuan Situation Viewed
with C0ncefn-lncOme TAX Es-
tilaate- Pension Examiner
Appointed.

Washington, April 10. - Officials and
diplomas regard the answer of Lord
Kimberly to Nicaragua, made yesterday
as bringing the British-N -Nicaraguan ques.
tion to a critical stage. The British
mode of action against Nicaragua it is
believed will be by Pacific blockade of
all Nicaraguan ports, thus crippling local
commerce, but not interfering with the
United States or foreign commerce. 1t
appears that Great Britain can at once
bring to bear two formidable fleets for
blockading purposes, one on the Pacific
side and the other on the Atlantic coast of
Nicaragua. The fleets, nineteen ships in
all. are variously disposed, but all would
be rendezvoused for demonstration of
force. The extent of the fleets indicates
the preparations for emergencies that
Great Britain always maintains.

BRUTALLY ASSAULTED.
Aged Mother of the Late Charles Par

Unconscious.

Bordentown, N. j., April 19.-Mrs.
Dilia T. Parnell, mother of the late Chas
Stewart Parnell, who lives at Ironsides
overlooking the Delaware river near
here, was found bleeding and unconscious
late last night by Charles Casey, son of a
farmer. Mrs. Parnell lay beside the
fence with her face covered with blood.
By her side were two pieces board, a
piece of fence paling about three feet
long and a brick. Help was obtained
and she was carried to the house of
Farmer Casey. W. H. Ships was hastily
summoned, made examination and found
that, besides several bruises about the
face, the woman had lacerated wound
on the right side of her head. Mrs Par
nell is unconscious and because of ad-
vanoed age her condition is regarded as
critical. The authorities are unable to
whether she was assaulted or
fell and receive injuries. Her hand bag
was found alongside the railroad track
near by with the pocketbook missing and
papers scattered in all directions. This
lends probability to the
theory that she was brutally assaulted
and robbed.
UNCONSCIOUS AT NOON.
At noon Mrs. Parnell still lies in an
condition. The authorities
ire convinced that she was assaulted and
obbed and have sent kilograms to all
he near by towns asking that lookout

smooth face, wearing light overcoat
nd Derby hat, who was seen in the vicin-
ty about the the time the assault is sup
'Osed to have been committed.
