Gated in fire which broke out during
the wedding festivities, develops.
a physician living near the scene of
the tragedy called on Coroner Herr
and informed the coroner that a pa
tient of his had said that a woman of
questionable character, residing near
the place, is open to suspicion of hav-
ing started the fire. She was put out
OF Adler's place few weeks ago and
swore revenge.
She was suspected OF having set fire
to building a few years ago, and was
ordered out of town at the time She
was seen near Adler's Wednesday
night, and it would have been easy for
her TO go through the narrow south
side entrance TO the place and pour oil
on the building. The fact that oil was
undou bteily an element in the causes
leading to the fire lends color to the
story.
Coroner IIaerr reported this TO police
headquarters, and Detective Bulmer
was detailed TO investigate the matter

had a tendency to depress the market, but
the strong demand from all quarters
checked the decline after the market had

the latter prices there was a good demand
and the offerings were easily disposed Of
each day.
To-day the market remained firm at 29A
cents at both calls al the Board of Trade

Rosin-With slight fluctuations In
the common and medium grades,
the rosin market was quite ac-
tive during the past week The
sales amounted to about as much as the

ium grades and water white advanced 5
cents a barrel, but subsequently, reached
and dropped back cents all along the
line To-day the market remained firm
and unchanged from yesterdays closing

DRY GOODS.

New York, Oct. 29.-The dry goods mar
ket is still dull In nearly all divisions, the
dullness being accentuated by the fact
that orders for wooden goods both for
mems wear fabrics and over ooatings and
cloakings are at present quite light. The
feeling of buyers of cotton goods is dis
tinctly against purchases, although the
market is decidedly easy in which to trade.
The low price of cotton has initiated
against heavy purchasing, and sellers are
not inclined TO take as enthusiastic view
of the market as they were a week or TWO
ago
