BIG STRIKE PROBABLE.
Chicago Street-RaiIway Employees
Threaten TO Quit Work.

CHICAGO. Sept. A.-Developments of the
last twelve hours point to a general strike
of all street-car conductors, motormen and
gripmen in the employ of the Chicago City
Railway Company on Monday morning. The
crisis may be delayed for day or two, but
from the present outlook it seems the only
block to a general walkout will be the sur
render of General Manager NJ. K. Bowen
and the reinstatement Of twenty discharged
men, together with the recognition of the
new union by the company. A general
mass meeting of all the street car men of
the city has been called for l o'clock Sun
day morning to take final action. This
course was decided on tonight at a con-
ference attended by twenty-five of the most
prominent labor leaders in Chicago, and the
executive committed of the local street-car
mems union.

PRICE CENTS 4EE AHEAB B HHHs sgAsR s5sRs 2

With 81 cents paid for spot at the end
OF August cotton has dropped Ia cents or
spite of a remarkable revival of manufac-
ture. Fever in some Southern cities has not
been largely influential and the main fac
tor has been a general impression tnat eStl-
mates are as misleading as they were when
the yield was the greatest on record. the
corn estimate most credited by the trade IS
only l,7aO0 600 bushels, but is coupled with
figures tending to show q surplus from the
last crop OF 4JU,00OO0O bushels over ordinary
consumption. Were this quite believed, the
price would not be rising although exports
continue heavy-in three week 9,S2l,Sig
bushels, against 6.1501S bushels last year
Wheat has gained fraction for the week,
while Atlantic exports, -four included, for
three weeks have been r. 49S,lM bushels,
against 6,lS3743 bushels last year. Western
receipts are exceeding last year 5, ard for
eign estimates now agree in making the
probable requirement from this country
over lO00O,OOG bushels greater than last
year.
The official ending of the Western coal
strike adds many thousand men TO the
working force in the mines, and others in
manufacturers using bituminous coal. The
anthracite strike has substantially ended,
and no extensive labor disturbance is
threatened. The output of coke is now 125,-
900 tons, and the price is also advanced.
Some branches of the iron and steel indus
try are clearly no longer able to keep up
with their new orders. Others are very

mas been refused for wire rods. The Struc-
tural work is behind orders, tin-plate mills
are hindered bv failure to get sheet bars
delivered fast enough, plate and sheet mills
find heavy demand everywhere and bars
are in great demand for cars at the West,
with vastly improved demand and a shade
better prices at the East. The average adj
vance of iron and steel products from the
lowest point is So per cent.
Wool sales at Boston have decreased a
quarter, but manufacturers are still unable
to find profits in goods with wool at present
prices. Reported sales of wool are more
than double those of the most prosperous
years, but the rise in prices renders the
future more doubtful, except for manufac-
turers having heavy supplies laid in. The
cotton mills are doing large business. al
though recent buying of goods has naturally
decreased after the recent rush.
Failures for the week have been 209 in the
United States, against 315 last year, and
twenty-eight in Canada, against thirty-nine

Mang, was shot and killed this morning by
Noah Johnson, near Center schoohouse in
Monroe township. The murderer was en-
gagged to the girl, but they quarreled and
she had been receiving the attentions of
Curtis Ferguson. TINS made Johnson fu-
riousy jealous and when she was on her
way to school this morning with Miss EN-
ma Pierce and Marshall Pence she passed
Johnson and refused to speak to him. He
followed the trio and fired at the girl with
a revolver. the bullet striking her head at
the base of the brain. Death followed al
most instantly Johnson fled to Gas City,
where he gave himself up and was brought
to this city and placed in JAIL A
posse of farmers made hunt for him and
his trial would have been short had they
overtaken him. He cenfesses the act say
ing that after sleepless night he went this
morning to the home of Elijah Welsh, q
neighbor which is about a half mile south
of the Monroe Center schoolhouse. While
talking with Welsh Miss Mang and Miss
Pierce walked past them without speaking
to him, and went q short distance SOUTH
where they met Young Pence.

DANVILLI1, Ind, Sept. 24.-Coatesvil!et
ten miles southwest of this city, was the
scene of a peculiar tragedy last night in
the suicide of James Bourne, jr., aged sew
enteen who shot himself as he was leaving
the home of his sweetheart, Miss Anna Aus
brey, aged sixteen. Bourne is the son OF
ex-Postmaster James Bourne, a business
man of Coatesville, and had been clerkina
in his fathers store. The young couple had
determined on marriage, and 1t is said they
agreed to leave home Sunday, so to llli-
nois and be united. Bourne's parents strong
ly opposed the union on account of his
youth and last night he called on his sweet
heart for the last time He had just closed
the door on leaving the Aubrey home, when
directly through his heart Soon two stories
of the affair were started, one that he had
shot himself and the other that he had been
murdered by some one concealed outside the
house. Prosecutor Gulley and Coroner
White made an investigation to-day and
decided that it was undoubtedly suicide.
Bourne's revolver was found few feet
from the door, where he flung 1t when he
fell. Miss Aubrey showed the following note,
which, she says, was given to her shortly
before the tragedy:
Dear Sweetheart--I do this because I
have to. / have lost all my money. / am
crazy. / don't know what l am doing.
l am going to h--ll. down the hill at Il
merry gait. So goodbye for once and
all. YOUR LITTLE JIM"

Ireland. After studying with the Jesuits at
Limerick he finished in theology in the
American College of Rome. He arrived in
Mobile in 1893 From here he was trans

ferred to Montgomery, Ala. Hearing that
an assistant was needed here he offered to
come and reached Mobile Sept. 8. The fever
broke out in a few days after his arrival.
He preached at st. Vincents last Sunday,
telling the congregation to be prepared for
the final summons. That afternoon he was
taken sick and a continued high fever from
start to finish.
The new cases are: Fred Xavier, George

WORK OF A MOB.
Details of the Attempt to Burn Tenn
porary Hospital.


NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 24-Efficient
work by the fire department in face of the
attacks of a mob enabled the department
this morning to save the main portion of
the Beauregard school building. Only the
annexes of the structure were reduced to
ashes. The alarm was sounded at 1890 a.
m. After the mass meeting of citizens held
last night a riotous crowd gathered around
the building and openly threatened that at
the first opportunity they would fire it.
Throughout yesterday evening Sister Agnes
and number of Sisters Of Charity, togeth-
er with help from the hospital, had been
putting the building in order for the recep-
ton of yellow fever patients. The school
board, in the meantime, had removed from
the building every desk and other articles
of furniture and the hospital people had
moved into the building cots and other
necessary adjuncts for the treatment of
yellow fever patients. AT nightfall Surgeon
Bloom, of the hospital, the sisters ana
others had been warned that they had best
leave the building. They did so, headed by
Sister Agnes, and threaded their way
through a dense crowd OF panic-stricken
ordered TO the scene. But the mob, bent
on incendiarsm, was sharper than the
guards and while the police were busily
engaged in attempting to quell the rlotOus
crowd in front of the building two incen-
diarists, with a fve-gallon can of oil, pro-
building in flames An alarm was turned
in but the first engine had scarcely ar
rived when its hose was cut. When other
engines arrived their hose was also de-
stroyed by the mob. Chief CASTOR and Can
tain Journee finally arrived in d patrol
wagon with a big squad of officers which
beat the mob back. Then the firemen went
actively to work and succeeded in prevent
ing the destruction of the building.
The school is a handsome building, en-
trely isolated, and situated in the center
of large square. There was no danger of
infection from 1t and tie people in the
neighborhood are unduly alarmed
Mayor Flower to-day ordered a force of
policemen TO guard the school, as only a
portion of the building was burned III is
stil possible to use the structure as a hos
pital for the treatment of yellow fever na-
tients. The burning of the school created
intense Indignation here and the outrage
was bitterly denounced Every newspape-

pledged itself to support the mayor in
whatever action he might take to punish
the culprits and carry into effect the orig
inal determination to establish the yellow

on Mayor Flower TO protest against the use
OF the building as d hospital. His Honor

weekly review Of trade will say in its issue
tomorrow: Gold imports have begun di-
rect from England and from France, be-
sides the arrival of $4,000O00 at San Fran
cisco from Australia for wheat exported.
The gold received there and started for
Europe amounts to $6,5Oo0OO in two days
and the advance of its rates by the Banl Of
England to 212 per cent seems little likely
to check the movement in view Of heavy
merchandise balances due 10 this country
and a rise in the rate of the interest here.
The August excess of merchandise and
specie exports over imports was not far
from $42,0000 600 and the September excess
will evidently be larger, unless shipments Of
gold are considerable. Merchandise exports
from New York in three weeks of Septem-
Der have been 1873 per cent. over last years
and imports 1871 per cent. less, and like
changes on the whole trade for the month

Produce markets have been uncertain,
closing a fraction higher for both wheat and
corn, while the decline in cotton continues.
