POLICE RUN DOWN A MANIAC
CONFESSED TO THE MURDER OF
PATRICK MURPHY.
Attempted to Murder Another Man
at oakland-His Flight, Capture,
and Insane Decisions.

Oakland, Cal, Dec. 1.-THE police are
convinced that Patrick Murphy of Te-
mescal, who was assassinated on last
Wednesday, was killed by Frederick
Uhl. maniac, who last night attempt
ed to kill Edward Kearney and Consta-
BILE Gus Koch.
The lunatic is now at large and is be-
ing searched for by half a hundred
armed men. He was once an inmate of
an insane asylum, but had been dis
charged as cured. Last night he opened
the front door of his fathers house
and fred a shot at Edward Kearnev,
who happened to be walking past the
place. Constable Koch was called to
the scene of the shooting and was met
at the door of the house by Uhl, who
fired at him at such close range that
he was blinded by the powder. Koch
stumbled and fell and was shot at three
times in rapid succession, none of the
bullets taking effect. The officer went
for assistance, and in the meantime Uhl
reloaded his revolver and escaped. 1t
is now known that he was seen at the
Murphy home a short time before the
mysterious murder of Wednesday
night.
Ferdinand Uhl, the Temescal maniac
aged Patrick Murphy, is now prisoner
at the Oakland jail. Covered with mud
and suffering from cold and hunger
the murderer was taken into custody
by Detective Dennis Holland this morn
ing. The prisoner offered little resist
ance and said to the arresting officer
that he was glad that it was over, as
he did not want to pass another night
out IN the cold.
Uhl makes a complete confession of
the murder of Murphy. He also labors
under the belief that he murdered An
tone Calvin and Constable Gus Koch.
For the killing of the first two ne ex-
presses little regret but he says he is
sorry that Koch had to be killed.
When searched at the city prison,
Uhl was found to be well armed to
make long resistance. Beside the So
calibre revolver with which the killing
was DONE he had in his pockets 125
rounds of cartridges and $50 in cash
He freely admitted the killing of Muir
ply and said that he was not sorry.

BRADsTREET's REVIEW
Collections Better and Business Pre-

Collections Better and Business Pre-
sents Encouraging Features.
New York, Dec. 7.-Bradstreet's, to-
morrow, will say:
A sensible quoting of demand in
wholesale lines is reported as the holt
day season and the annual stock-tak-
ing period approaches. Chief among
the favorable features of the week has
been enlarged inquiry at higher prices
for steel in various forms, accompanied
by advance in the prices of sorts most
affected. A correspondence heavy
business has developed in pig iron, and
prices show but q slight shading in
face of the current immense production.
The wheat market has been less fever
ish and prices are practically I'M
changed from a week ago, while corn,
oats and sugar are additions to the
list of the products showing advances.
AT the east trade in wholesale lines
is quiet, but retail trade has been
stimulated sufficiently to allow of a fair
record of business in seasonable lines.
Notable among favorable features is
the improved inquiry at higher prices
for several kinds of steel, especially
billets and wire and nails.
The approach of the holiday season
has induced freer realizing on cotton
by planters and others at the south
and increased activity is noticeable in
retail lines and among jobbers in sea-
sonable goods. Collections are slightly
better in consequence, although the
low price of the staple is a discouraging
feature. Aside from price depression
in its chief products, the southern
business situation presents many en-
couraging features, notable among
those being the active demand and
firm or higher prices for Louisiana
sugar and rice and leaf tobacco. Elk
port trade on the Pacific is very heavy
and shipments of wheat, cotton and
lumber are of large volume. Prepara-
lions for an immense Alaskan outfit
ting demand are being actively pushed
while seasonable trade holds its own.
