TYPHOID FEVER AT MoNTAUK.
All the Patients in the Hospitals
There May Die.

Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, N. Y,
Sept. 22-Gen. Wheeler is trying to make
the final arrangements for clearing out
this camp in order that he may go to
Huntsville and prepare the camp there.
Some of the troops have already started
for Alabama and Gen. Wheeler hopes to
arrive there by rail before them.
The exodus of troops will include the
Twenty-fourth Infantry. which starts to-
morrow morning for Fort Douglass,
Utah, and Fort d. A. Russell, Wyoming.
That will leave in camp only the Seventh
and Twenty-fifth Infantry Regiments and
the First, Second, Sixth, Ninth, and
Tenth Cavalry.
The dead in the hospitals not already
reported are: Edward S. Barnes, private,
Company A, Tenth Infantry; Robert
Stout Troop G, Sixth Cavalry; Herman
Boch, Company c, Fourth Infantry; Tur-
ner Runyen, Second Infantry, whose COM
pany is unknown. and who arrived on the
City of Mexico unconscious, and Nesaly
Wright, colored Troop ii, Tenth Cavalry,
who also arrived on the City of Mexico.
Wright died under an operation for
fractured skull which he received in a
nght at santiago with Il comrauet whose
identity is as yet unknown.
The slight increase in the deaths and
the fact that all but the men from the
transports died of typhoid fever is due
TO the fact that nearly all typhoid cases
in the hospital are now at the critical
point. The disease is in so serious form
that all of the patients may die, Surgeon
Major Brown says.
Gen. Wheeler was informed today that
| a report coming from Washington stated
| that he will be appointed to the COM
mand of the cavalry division of the army
! which will garrison Cuba. He had not
! heard anything of such plan, he said,

Have you realized

Fortunes in Cuba?

Particularly true, now that the coun-
try is a United States possession Scarce

country of grand possibilities for capi-
tai and enterprise And also that the
war-impoverished condition OF Cuba

ton of their value But, single hand

LAKE MICHIGAN MYSTERY.
The Body Found ut Chicago Is Tha,
of Jennie Hickey.

Chicago, Sept 22.-The remains of the
young girl found in the lake yesterday
have been identified as those of
Jennie Hickey. aged thirteen, who
disappeared after leaving school on
Tuesday evening. On 1 tie girls
neck are the faint imprints of finger
nails, which indicate that she was
strangled to death before being thrown
into the lake.
Within a few feet of the body was
found a portion of a chenille portiere,
large enough to cover half the body. The
police believe this piece of curtain was
used to conceal the body when it was
carried to the lake front.
The girls clothes were torn and tan
gIed. and her overdress has not been
found The face and eyes show marks of
violence.
: The police are of the opinion that the
girl was enticed away from her home, as
saulted and murdered in room, and that
the remains were wrapped in curtain
and taken to the lake in a carriage.
Physicians who viewed the body at the
morgue assert that the bruises could not
have resulted alone from the body dash
ing against the pier
Late last night the police arrested
Thomas Rutledge, sixteen years of age.
He was acquainted with the girl and
when taken into custody he was at the
Hickey home inquiring whether any trace
had been found of Jennie. Rutledge en-
phatically denies any knowledge as to
the cause of the death of the girl. The
police declare that they have evidence
that Rutledge was in the company of the
girl on the day she disappeared.
The mystery assumed a new phase to-
day when it was learned that Jennie
Joyce aged seventeen, the dead girls
boon companion, had also disappeared.
The police began to search for her.
Two theories were advanced regarding
Jennie Joyce. One that she knew all
about the death of her companion and
was in hiding, the other that the Joyce
girl met the same fate as Jennie Hickey,
and that her body would be found later.
Shortly afternoon, however Jennie
Joyce was found and placed under arrest.
She denies any knowledge of Jennie Hick-
ey's death.
Two little boys, playmates of Jennie
Hickey, were closely questioned by the
police this afternoon. They said that a
few days before Jennie disappeared her
mother gave the child a severe whipping
and Jennie said she was going to kill her
self. They said also that she tried 10
drown herself once before.

THE STOCK MARKET.
Frequent Changes From Strong to
Weak In the Business Session.

New York Sept. 21.-No definite tone
whole, since throughout the business ses-
sion there were frequent changes from
strength to weakness and back again. In
its vacillating course the market did
not bear out the promise held out in yes
terdays firmer tone. The trading today
was light in volume and void of snap.
Foreign houses had few orders in this
market, cabled advices reporting that
the advance in the Bank of England S
discount rate to per cent had effectually
chilled speculation in the London mar
ket There were further considerable en-
gagements of gold made in London, and
the Australian steamship that arrived IN
San Francisco yesterday brought in
$3, 600 000 of the metal.
OF the companies reporting earnings to-
day the Northwestern and Northern Pa
cific made the best showings and the
Reading company the worst. The coal
and iron company reported for July a
decrease in gross earnings of 80 per cent.
which throws some light upon the state
of the anthracite industry at that time.
In the early dealings the market showed
a firm tone. and there were sharp ad-
vances in Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
General Electric and Manhattan, but
these gains were mostly lost in the sub
sequent trading. The uncertainty felt
during the day as to the action of the
Union Pacific directors upon the dividend
on the preferred stock was accounted
among the influences tending to restrict
active trading, and the stock declined in
advance of the official announcement.
| The granger shares were dull but firm,
with St Paul in the lead, their strength
being doubtless due to the advance in
wheat and to the fine August statement
of the Northwestern. There was some
apparent disappointment when il was an
nounced that only / IL per cent had been
declared on Union Pacific preferred, but
this feeling, under the circumstances,
must be accounted unreasonable.
The general market closed firm and
fairly active.

sixty days in jail. Interrupting funeral
procession by throwing bricks at the
band which led it was the particular
species of amusement which got Goose

A colored resident of Northeast Wash
ington, who was member of several
fraternal organizations and was conse-
ouentiy buried with brass band accom-
paniments, was inferred IN the cOlored
peoples cemetery on the outskirts of the
CITY on Wednesday afternoon. The fu-
neral itself was a very orderly affair, but
on the return trip the procession passed
Fifth and II Streets. where "Gooseberry
and a number of his friends were stand
ing.
Bv the merest chance a dirt wagon
from a brick yard which is a rival to the
one at which "Gooseberry' and his
friends were employed led the procession
as it passed the corner. 'Gooseberry' and
his friends sighted the obnoxious wagon
and its driver and they gathered up great
handfuls of bricks and heaved them. In
stead of striking the wagon or the driver
the bricks scattered indiscriminately
among the members of the brass band,
who were playing doleful dirge just at
that moment.
The dirge became a quickstep imme-
diately as the members of the band
lodged the missiles and kept playing at
the same time. The procession was final
ly broken up, however, and ''Gooseberry
was surrounded by a crowd of indignant
mourners. His accomplice escaped, but
Policeman Williams locked Turner up at

The stock market was largely profess
sional yesterday, and was made up of
few specialties. Foreign arbitrage houses
did very little, speculation in London
having been checked apparently by the
money situation there. The advance in
the Bank of England rate of discount had
no effect in this country. The market in
the afternoon waited for the Union Pa
cific dividend and was weak. Money was
a trife easier in the afternoon, but this
did not stimulate trading. nor did the
market respond to gold imports. The
close was very quiet. There seems no
