C. D. COLLINS MISSING.
Trial of NJ. NJ. EnsIey for Assault and
Robbery Delayed.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. Pm Martin lsley
of Memphis was arraigned for trial to-day
before Judge Hirzel, at Clayton, the county
seat of st. Louis county, on the charge of
assault with intent to kill Charles d. Collins
at Meramec Highlands, one night last June.
He is also charged with stealing 5000 from
Collins and that robbery. it Is alleged, was
the motive for the assault. Judge Thomas
b. Harvey, of st. Louis, appeared for Ems
ley, and O'Neil Ryan will assist County At
torney Hirndon in prosecuting the case
When the case was called Mr.. Collins was
not on hand, and Judge Hirzel was furious.
He issued a bench warrant and subpoenas
for Collins's arrest, and sent out all his
deputies to find the plaintiff and bring him
in Inquiry at the Franklin Hotel revealed
the fact that Mr.. Collins, who had been
stopping there, was not in, and 1t was
thought he had left the city last night.
Judge Hirzel was very much incensed by
the nonappearance of the prosecuting wit
ness. He said: 'It is an outrage that this
man should not be here. and l shall see to
1t that ne is brought here and made to tes-
Try; Inc charge against Ensey will not
be dropped under any circumstances will
continue the case until the next day and
so on, until the man is found or until it
develops that he has left the State. In
case he has gone away the trial against
witnesses now before me, the charge being
changed to assault with intent to kill.
When Collins is brought back l shall fine
him heavily for contempt" Nineteen wit
neSSeS have been summoned for the State
and just one less than that number for the
defense
Charles D. Collins is Canadian by birth
In the early eighties he was head clerk at
the Kennard House. Cleveland. When the
Hollenden was built in the Forest City Col
Inns was made manager, with part inter-
est and there he managed to save some
money. With this he bought the Duncan
House, at Nashville. While in the South
Mr. Collins became acquainted with Martin
Ensley, son of the well-known Col. Enoch
Ensley Who was regarded one of the
richest men in that section. When Collins
sold the Nashville hotel he asked Ensley
to accompany him to ST. Louis to try his
luck at the fair grounds race track. To
this end he purchased a couple of horses,
and was negotiating for others at the time
of the assault Collins and Ensey rOomed
at the Lindel Hotel Monday night June
TO- the latter proposed trip on the electric
cars, and the two finally reached Meramec
Highlands. 1t was while they were in the
grounds surrounding the hotel that the as
sault was committed. Ensley, so Collins
stated at the time, stepped behind him and
struck him on the head with a hammer.
The TennesSeean denied his guilt, and
claimed that two men assaulted Collins and
that he was also attacked and fled in fear
of his life. The affair caused a great SEN
satiOn in st. Louis at the time because of
the prominence of the two men.

A PROSPEROUS sHEARING SEASON.

This must be a most remarkable lamb
shearing season in the stock exchanges and
wheat pits. For several years the industry
furnish the fieeces have been too timid to
gambol about the shearing places from the
middle of 1893 until the present season set
In. Stocks, for the most part, were falling
While the German tariff bill was under con-
sideration and the sugar schedule was in
the balance there was a@ brisk season in
the Sugar Trust stocks, during which, and
in the permanent decline which followed the
passage of the BILL the experienced shearers
must have clipped several focks of lambs
very close. This season began with advance
ing prices in wheat and other staples
There was every reason why wheat should
go to a high price and remain tt ere, be-
cause the crop is short of the demand. The
outsider knowing the general conditions, did
not look for even temporary reactions in the
prices, and he was surprised when they We're
announced. There had been an unusual rise
day after day for a week, based upon crop
reports and European cables Large sales
of wind wheat had been made. and prob
a rise was very large. One morning the
market opened weak" Some crop report
had been announced showing a better out
look, and cables were weak" due to re-
ceipts from Russia. This was the signal for
the bears that the shearing season was on,
ard they began to knock down prices. So
many persons made haste to save them
selves by selling that the frightened assist
ed the bears, ard wheat declined or
cents. and sold at reduced prices for sev-
eral days, or until the lambs the bull
side had been sheared with lawnmower.
This accomplished on the basis of some sort
of crop report or official statement and
strong European cables, wheat advanced.
The lambs took courage went in, and when
their feeces were in order. were sheared
again. The process has been repeated about
every week the past two months. 1t would
astonish the public to know how many peo-
pie throughout the country have lost money
this season of advancing wheat prices by
the manipulation of the market by the old
hands. The smaller ones have been sheared
in the bucket shop, but those who have

lost most have dropped their money in the
regular exchanges.
The same is true of stocks. Three months
ago there was a remarkable advance all
along the line. Even purely speculative
stocks, those from which dividends are not
expected, advanced in mysterious man
ner. One day story of the probability of
war with Spain was industriously circu-
lated on the exchange. II should have
frightened no one, but it caused a furry
which sent people to selling stocks, and
prices declined. After a few days, during
which the crippled settled their losses,
cheerfulness came to the stock market and
prices revived. In due time another Span
ish war cloud lowered ominously over Wall
street, and again prices declined. AS the
process continues to be repeated, it is evil
dent that the lambs have not discovered the
game of which they are the victims. The
shearers are comparatively few, but the
sheared are many, never so many as this
year. The strange thing about it is that
the losers do not learn that they are the
victims Of what, in vulgar and altogether
improper kind Of gambling, is known as

STEEL TUBING TRUST.
Strong Combination of Manufacturers
Finally Perfected.

TOLEDO, O.. Nov 12.-At last a strong
combination of the steel tubing manufac-
turers has been perfected, and the new cor
poration will absolutely represent 80 per
cent. of the tubing output of the United
States. The combination is made up of the
Brewer Seamless Tube Company and the
American Weldless Tube Company, of this
city; the Shelby Tube Company. of Shelby
o.. the Elwood Tube Company, of Elwood
Pa, and the Greenville Tube Company, of
Greenville, Pa. The consolidation is called
the Shelby Tube Company, and is capital
lied at $5,OOOOoO. under the provision for
iron and steel plants in the Pennsylvania
statutes. W. II. Miller of Shelby, will be
the president and general manager, and the
main offices will be at the Shelby plant
The big deal was promoted by Col. H. A.
Lozier and Mr.. Miller. The combination is
in q position to make a bid for foreign
trade as the Steifel patents are a part of
the assets. The minimum output of the
combined mills is fifty million feet. An ar

During his recent visit to Chicago in con-
nection with another case General Harrison
informed the United States Circuit Court
that he wished to make an argument on the
motion to dismiss the appeal III the Indian
apolis 3-cent-fare case and requested the
court to set day for hearing it. 1t is
understood that an early day will be set.
The appeal is from an interlocutory decision
of Judge Showalter to the effect that on
question of constitutional law he was not
bound by the decision of the Supreme Court
of the State, and declining to dissolve the
injunction preventing the enforcement of
the 3-cent-fare law. Dismissal of the appeal
would leave the injunction still in.force, and

MARRIED WHILE UNCONSCIOUS.
Strange story Comes Out in an Omaha
WOman's Divorce Suit.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 12.-Mrs. Lucy Smith,
of Omaha, was granted divorce yesterday
from Harvey Boone The case developed
the fact that the man married the woman
without her knowledge, having drugged her.
Mrs. Smith, upon the witness stand, testi-
fled that she was sick and Boone offered
to prescribe for her, he being q physician.
She assented to this proposition, but says,
instead of giving her medicine to cure.
Boone gave her some drug that made her
insensible. The drug relieved her pain, and
the next night she took another dose.
While she was under the influence of the
drug, according to her story Boone secured
a marriage license and a preacher, and the
marriage ceremony was performed. she re-
naming in bed. The next day. she says,
Boone informed her they were welded, but
she refused to acknowledge the marriage,
and upon recovering from her illness left
the room. She testified that she never saw
Boone again, and knew nothing of his
whereabouts. The records in the office of
the county judge show that Boone secured
a license to marry Lucy Smith, alleging
both were of lawful age. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Daniel Grieder, who
was called in and informed that the woman
was very ill and desired to be married to
Boone.

RIVAL CANDIDATES WED.
Romantic Marriage of Prof, Laughlin
and Alice Thomson.

TEKEMAE, Neb., Nov. 12.-Miss Alice
Thomson and Prof. c. S. Laughlin were
married yesterday The affair grew out
of the recent election. Prof Laughlin has
been principal of the local high school for
some time, and Miss Thomason has been
his assistant. He was Republican and
his pretty helper professed to the Populist
faith. This fall Professor Laughlin became
a candidate for superintendent of public in
struction in Burt county. The Populists in
duced Miss ThomaSOn to accept their nom
ination. The campaign became quite ami
mated. Miss Thomson made speeches in
opposition to Laughlin, and the fight was
spirited. On the of the election. when
it too late for the Populists to select
a new candidate Miss Thomson withdrew
from the race. AS Mr.. Laughlin had prac-
tcally no opposition, he was elected. The
next day cards announcing their approach
ing marriage were sent out Both now adj
nit that they intended to be married all the
time, but thought all was fair in politics,
and took this method of being sure of the
position they coveted

Rradstreet,s Review.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: One of the most signifi-
cant features of the business situation is
found in the continued heavy weekly totals
of bank clearings, that for six
business days ending Nov. IL amount
ing to $1,947 100000, an increase of
10 per cent. over the preceding
week, and 10 per cent. compared with the
second week of November. 1896, when bust
ness began to revive sharply in speculative
lines. Railroad gross earnings show
smaller gains comparisons begin to be
made with more nearly normal conditions
one year ago. Total October earnings of 127
companies operating 100000 miles of road
aggregate $55 AGA, 339, a gain Of $500O,O00 over
September and 8 per cent. over October a
year ago. This gain compares with gains of
IA per cent. in September and 1875 per cent.
in August over corresponding periods in
1896. The Pacific Southwestern and Central
Western roads make the best showing.
Other favorable features are the contin-
ued firmness of and activity in wool. iron
and steel. The heavy output of iron and
moderate reduction of stocks last week
suggests the improbability of the advance
in prices of iron and steel next year, which
so many have hoped for. The slight reaction
in the price of cotton, in view of the ex-
treme depression to which that staple has
been subjected, attracts attention as the
possible beginning of the end of the pro-
longed decline. Already there is an i'm
provement in prices of and demand for cot
ton yarns.
The unfavorable influences in price move
ments this week are declines for cottons
and print cloths, the latter touching the
lowest price on record. Wheat, lard and
lead are also lower and wire nails have been
shaded. There is long list of staples for
which prices are practically unchanged The
more important advances are confined to
Indian corn, oats, hoops and turpentine.
Colder weather in the Central West and
Northwest has stimulated demand for Win
ter goods particularly clothing.
Exports of wheat (hour included as
wheat) from both coasts of the United
States and from Montreal this week amount
to 5.445.5i2 bushels, compared with 5,5900O0
bushels last week, 1864 600 bushels in the
week a year ago. 3.325 600 bushels two years
ago. 2.909 600 bushels three years ago, and
as contrasted with 2.6450O0 bushels in the
like week of 1893. Exports of indian corn
this week amount TO 2,65l.546 bushels.
against 2l99. 600 bushels last week, 3,1S2 600
bushels in the week year ago, l,s2l.OOO
