Chicago, Ills, Sept. 30.-Wheat to-
day more than recovered from yester-
closed firm at rs cent advance. The
market was badly ratified during the
forenoon by the sharp break in spring
wheat which became irregular today
but heavy shipping engagements from
here, presumably Of this same grade,
put the market on it's feet again.
Drought reports were also factor.
Other markets were content to follow
wheat in a mild degree, corn and oats
closing * cents higher and provisions
advancing 5 to 10 cents.

New York. Sept. Bottle cotton mar
ket opened steady, 3 to 4 points higher
ON better cables than was expected,
eased off partially under local liquida-
t;on in the absence of outside specula-
tive buying, but again turned firmer,
the local trade being disposed to pay
more attention to the quarantine talk
and apprehend a serious curtailment OF
cotton receipts at a time when spinners
will be likely to stock up. Buying on
this view absorbed all the Southern Of
ferings of futures. The quarantine is
already seriously in the way of move
ment of cotton at Texas, Mississippi
and Louisiana and private wires excite
fears of spreading regulations. But
SINNERS adhere to their large crop pre-
dictions and are in no hurry to antici-
pate their wants. Near the close liqui-
dation set in and nearly all the gain was
lost. The close was barely steady at
net gain Of / to 2 points.
DRY GOODS.
New York, Sept. 30.-The market for
dry goods is generally quiet with mark
ed change in any cotton goods division.
Wooden and worsted goods for mems
wear are well sustained and dress goods
in spring styles being placed on the
market about this time, are attracting
some notice. Silks in general are in
good demand. Outside conditions in the
trade are generally favorable. Distri-
button is still fair in all parts of the
country and collections are, in the main,
satisfactory. Locally jobbers report a
fair recorder business in nearly all lines.
In staple cottons the market is firm, but
without notable features. Print cloths
are still quoted at 25s cents nominal at
Fall River for extras.

New York, Sept. 30.-The Evening

The stock markets here were good to-
day except Americans, which followed
the New York lead and closed at about
the lowest. 1t is not likely that there
will be any strong renewal of buying
of Americans here until the New York
position has been more clearly defined
1t is still believed, however, that New
York will soon start an upward move
ment again, as the revival of trade
activity there is increasingly credited
here.
1t is thought New York also will at
tract more gold, although there are no
signs of fresh shipments at the mo-
ment.
Mines were good and the papers talk
Of transference of attention from
Americans to them. That, however,
practically depends on the New York

SUICIDE WITH GAS.
An Admirer of Emily La ZeISe, said
TO Have Been Helene stockton,


With the news of Col. c. D. LIQUIDS en-
counter with w. ]. Holden, at Superior
Wis, comes the story printed in the
Washington Times, of the suicide in New
York of Wendall Smith, the admirer of
Emily La Zelle of Washington, with whom
he eloped, deserving his wife and children
Smith locked himself in his room at the
Amnesty hotel and turned on the gas
Emily La Zelle was said to be the real
name of Helene Stockton, on whose ac-
count Col. Loud killed Phil Fitzpatrick
at Thunderbolt, a year and half ago.
The New York dispatch announcing the
suicide of Smith, speaks of him as John
Wendall Smith, but describes him further
as man who had gone under the name of
Delmar Stockton. Wendall A. Smith was
known in Washington by people as Stock
ton, so that there is little doubt that the
John Wendall Smith and the Wendall A.
Smith were the same person.
Emily La Zelle, when she went on the
stage says the Times, assumed the
name of Helene Stockton and as such she
was the star witness in the Fitzpatrick
murder trial in Savannah, to which place
she went from Washington with Wendall
A. Smith. who for her deserted a wife and
four children. The family of Emily La
Zelle lived within a few blocks of the
home of Wendall Smith. He was stage
struck early in life, and, although he
never made much of a success on the
stage, he is said to have been employed
under his real name or some of his many
aliases as agent for the Rice company
and that of j. X. Emmett. He met the La
Zelles at private theatricals in this city
some time in the early part of 1894. In the
summer of that year Emily and he disap-
peared and it was known to all, perhaps,
except to his wife, who believed in him up
to year ago, that they had eloped. When
this came out it was asserted by the La
Zelle family that Smith and Emily were
married, Notwithstanding the fact of
Smiths wife and children living in their
neighborhood. Smith had been clerk in
the pension office, but having lost his
place, by discharge, as was expected, he
drifted to New York and then to Chicago,
from which latter place he wrote to his
wife, who constantly believed that he
would repent and return. Interest was
renewed in his movements when the Loud
Fitzpatrick murder was committed"
Helene Stockton left Savannah about the
time Col. Loud left here, which was soon
after his acquittal of Fitzpatrick's murder.
