Stock Market Was Strong Throughout
 Yesterday.

New York, Oct, 20.-The stock mark ct to-day was strong almost from the opening to the close of the session. The dealings, while not especially large were well distributed and with a very few exceptions higher prices were recorded all along the line.
 The main causes for the improve ment were the engagement of over s5,- 100000 gold in London to-day for ship ment to this side, and the fact that exchange ruled barely steady, thus indicating renewed imports of the vel low metal in the near future.
 Quite as important as the foregoing in it's bearing upon stock values was the continued foreign demand for our breadstuffs and cotton, and the news from the west that the railroads out west are taxed to the utmost to carry the grain now offering. In fact, ad- vices were to the effect that car fam inc is in prospect On all this the bulls lifted prices with a good deal of con- f1dence and succeeded in forcing a lat ent short interest into covering.
 Although Chocago Gas was second in point of activity it scored the greatest advance, namely, A points, to 65ss The rise was due to purchase by those who claim to have political news from Illinois more favorable to the future in- terests of the company. In the re- mainder of the list the rise was equal to @@2as per cent, the grangers and some of the low priced shares leading.
 Sugar, which was traded in to the ex- tend of 37100 shares, did not share in the general buoyanoy. It ranged from 1095s to 11O1a, and closed at 110E, net gain of only s per cent. Heavy sales by insiders, one firm alone having dis posed of about 20,00D shores, are as- cribed as the reason for the compara- tive weakness of the stock. Manhattan dropped from s1% to 90B, and rallied to 91h Speculation closed strong in tone. Net changes show gains of 1s to per cent.
 The bond market was active and strong. The sales amounted to $1.2S5, 600, Following are the closing prices re- ported by Prince & Whitely, bankers and brokers, 46 Broadway, New York, and 15 Center street, New Haven .a H

the silver basis. It is said there has been a great decline in the price of commodities. Another statement is that business has been much injured by the crime of 1873. They also con- debts.
 Tn 1870 the whole manufacturing in- vestment was $2,00O, O,000,000, In 1890 1t was S6500, 100000. In 1880 there were 2,O00,000 men earning $450 each per ar- mum. Now the number employed Is more than double. In view of this great change, why is there such depression? Panics come from over trading and mistakes in business judg ment, Tn 1890 Barring Brothers failed in London. Then came an era of con- traction. We have been recovering from it until this silver question came up. Since 1870 see how the Winches- ter company and the Candee Rubber company have extended their plants. Look at Grapevine Point. Thirty years ago there were in New England many iron furnaces. To-day there Is not one of these furnaces here. They have all gone west. There were many nail fac tories here; now there IS not one. Iake the rolling mills. There Is now one here, but it is not paying much in dividends. The business has gone west There have been great econom- ic changes, but silver has nothing to do with this"
 MT. Wheeler went on giving reasons why business had declined, but the sil- yer question had nothing to do with it.. He discussed the question in very in teresting manner and urged his hear CTS to stand for sound money if they would see revival of business, He said that a vote for Mckinley and Ho'- bart was vote for sound money and for business revival.
 At the close MT, Wheeler was enthu- siastically applauded. Tine speakers were entertained at the Calumet club rooms after the meeting.

the trainmen put him off. Fireman Steve
Willis recognized him and telegraphed
ahead to Medford, warning the officers to
be on hand, well armed, when the train
arrived there.
Inman bought ticket to Gold Hill.
and at the latter place was again put on,
but climbed on the oilcar again as the
train pulled out of the station. At Med
ford when the train arrived, City Marshal
Cofer and Constable Wolf, heavily armed,
were on hand and covered Inman with
their revolvers. Inman paid no atten-
ton to the command to throw up MS
hands, but, jumping to the ground, pistol
in hand, declared that if the officers shot
he would follow suit. Then he deliber-
ately walked down the track short dis,
lance and turned off through an orchard
striking for the hills. The officers fol-
lowed for a couple of miles, when In
man finally shouted to them that he was
getting tired of their actions, and would
hurt some one if they continued to follow
him.
The Medford officers say they could not
have taken Inman without killing him,
and they did not care to do that Tor
paltry $50 reward.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Dec. 3.-Luis Rosas,
a miner OF Calmalli, Mexico, 300 miles
south of this city, arrived to-day with a
story of Mexican duel and the probable
ambush and murder of one of the princi.
pals, Ohito BaIderes, by Ignacio Lopez.
. They were friends until recently, when
they quarreIed over woman whom both
loved. They drew knives one night at
Rosa's house, but were separated. Lopez
threatened to kill BaIderes oil sight.
The following morning Lopez appeared
with rife and signified his intention OF
going after Balderes. He struck out
toward the placer claim, formerly worked
by them in partnership, but instead of
finding him there he met with warm re-
ception in the shape of shot from behind
some boulders on the side hill. BaIderes
had evidently seen him approaching and
meant to have the first chance. Lopez
was not struck by the ball and he bur-
riedly got out of sight at turn in the
trail.
:. He could not see his enemy so as to re-
turn the shot, but he waited several hours
for him to appear. When he did see him
.5dging away through the brush he sent
"a ball after him and made up his mind to
keep on his trail.
= For seven or eight hours, as he after
ward said, he followed Balderes through
: brush and over the rough country in the
direction of San FrancisquitO, but could
mot get sight of him, although on one or
two occasions the men were within 10C
yards of each other. When darkness
came on, Lopez, so he claims, gave up the
trail and made his way back to Camp Ale

'the.placer claim and said it was his inten-
ton TO hold it.

'ances have expressed the belief that he
overlook BaIderes and killed him.

was greeted with applause. He said there
were thousands of acres planted with hun

shall From Utah Searching for Mrs.
Mercer and Her Child.
Some trace of Mrs. Mercer of Ogden, the
wife of a wealthy stockman of Utah,
whose flight about month ago with her
little daughter was reported in the papers,
has been found.
Detective Ross Whitaker has been as
ssting Deputy Marshal John Sullivan of
Utah in his efforts to locate the woman.
Sullivan started on her trail. He fol-
lowed her TO st. Paul. and thence began a
pursuit over the Northwest as tar as Sc
attic and Tacoma, thence down the coast
to this City.
Mrs. Mercer and her child arrived here
on Novem Der Is and registered at the
Palace Hotel under an assumed name,
where she remained over night. The
local police had been advised to be on the
look out for her, but they were thown off
the track, as the little girl was dressed in
BOYS clothing.
Deputy Marshal Sullivan reached here
too late, to intercept her in her flight
southwark. He is stopping at the Grand
Hotel and is trying to get another scent on
the trail. 1t is believed she has gone to
Arizona. If found she will be taken back
TO Ogden on a charge of abduction.
Mercer and his wife recently separated
and suit for divorce was started in the
Ogden courts. Both wanted the custody
of the child, and Mrs. Mercer fed with

LOS ANGELES CAPTURE.
Officers ApprebeHd One of the Men Who
Looted MaHboxes in Pasd-

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Dec. ga very
| clever bit of detective work by the Sheriff $
force here resulted in the arrest of John
Fushia, who purloined the mail from al
most every box in Pasadena on the night
of November 10 last. Fushia had an ac-
complete in George Ray, late arrival
from Kansas City.
The morning after the robberes Post
Office Inspector Flint conferred with Sher-
if Burr, and as q result Under Sheriff
Clement and Deputy Marshall were sent
to Pasadena, where they made thorough
investigation.
Fushia rooms in q First-street lodging
house in this city and it was found that
Ray had been there with him. They Sc
cured a large amount of mail from the
boxes, including several checks.
They found that plum bing-shop had
been broken into and some tools stolen,
with which the mail boxes might have
been broken open. Later it was found
that on the evening of the mail box rob-
berry Fushia and Ray had been playing
pool together.
They attempted to pay for their livery
rig, which conveyed them to Pasadena,
with one of the checks, but the astute liv
erYman refused the offer.
They went to a clothing-store here and
bargained for a suit of clothes. Ray of
fered in payment the same check, saying
he had been working IN Pasadena and
had just been paid. The merchant asked
him to step around 10 the bank and Ray
went with him readily.
The bank telephoned to Pasadena and
was informed that such a check was out.
The bank officials were not satisfied, how
ever, and telephoned to the police. Ray
grew uneasy and disappeared, never again
appearing for the check.
1t seems now that the partner has
escaped, and a complaint was filed in the
United states Court charging Fushia with
