A large and steady increase is being made
in the Home orchards. Apricots, peaches.

FIRE AT TEHACHAPI
FLAMES THREATEN TO WIPE OUT
THE TOWN
The Piute Hotel and Three Dwellings
Destroyed-Desperate Efforts
of Citizens

TEHACHAPI, Cal, March IA disas-
trous fire broke out at this place at $50
tonight in the Little Piute hotel. The fire
was caused by lamp exploding in Dr.
Lindsey's office, which was situated in
front of the hotel. The wind happily, was
favorable and with brave fighting on the
part of the citizens the flames so far have
been confined to three dwellings and the
hotel.
The wind is inclined to shift and the
town will be in great danger in consequence.
If the flames break out again it will be nee
essary to call on the fire engine from
Mojave. The several families burned out
are in a critical condition and will need
assistance of friends. All citizens turned
out in full force and the saving of the
town, which had been thought impossible,
has SO far been accomplished. 1t was nee
essary to blow up several houses with
powder to save those of more Importance.

A Trivial Accident Results in Fatal
Disease

The wife of Chief of Detectives Bradish
Is lying at the point Of death at their fam
lily residence at Thirteenth street and
Grand Avenue from blood poisoning. Her
illness Is the result of what was supposed
to be most trivial Injury received about
two weeks ago. While engaged in her
household duties she accidentally bruised
the index finger on her left hand in such
a manner as to cause blood blister. She
paid little attention to the injury, and
when the next day it caused her some pain
she pricked 1t with ne edle and let out the
blood. The wound did not heal, but instead
it resulted in swelling of her finger. The
usual remedies were applied but without
result and the swelling soon spread to her
arm. A physician was called and he pro-
nounced the case one Of acute blood poison
Ing In spite of the best medical attention
the swelling continued until her arm was
thrice its natural size. The poison injected
into the wound spread throughout the body
and caused high fever. Her hand was
lanced and drainage tube inserted, but
even this did not afford relief. Several

hand became black. A sloughing Of the
flesh began and an amputation was sug-
gested. but the physicians declared that
such a course was too late to save the
woman's life.
Last night Mrs. Bradish's condition was
most precarious and the attending physi-
clans could give no hope Of her ultimate
recovery FIer suffering was very great

Prices and Prospects Of the Trade in

CHICAGO, March 1.-Although news
from Liverpool was distinctly disappoint-

July starting hQAc higher, and May un-
changed to 14c higher. There was quite a
good demand from shorts who had not COW
cred yesterday, and the demand from this
source was sufficient to overcome any nat
that Liverpool had lost its slight opening
advance before trade commenced here, and
that receipts of wheat at the English mar
kets during the last six days were up to
the normal weekly requirements had the
effect of bringing out liberal offerings
wiping out the opening advance. Some
support was given by Letter and others
prominent bull interests, and this brought
the more timid shorts into the pit. In ad-
Louis houses. Prospects of cold wave
following rain throughout the winter wheat
belt had some influence, May getting up
to LOS and July to 90&c. Then the market
reacted and prices tended downward for
some time. Bradstreets reported the

This amount was fully twice as much as
the trade expected, and brought in fresh
lot OF buying orders and resulted in an ad-
vance In July to 90as and in May to LOS

Conditions Shown by the Dealings on
Wall Street

NEW YORK. March 1.-The stock mar
ket took on no well defined character today
until after the publication of the state
ment attributed to the secretary of the
navy that the element of Spanish official
responsibility for the Maine explosion
might be considered eliminated from the
situation. This was in the last hour of the
session. and the whole short interest ap-
parently rushed to cover the short lines
that have been put out in the last few
days on the developments of the Maine
disaster. There had been covering of
shorts early in the day on account of the
little later short selling developed on
the theory that the market would GER
tainly sag again after the large short in
terest had been covered. The market had
apparently swung to a Standstill and was
drifting rather aimlessly, without yield
ing, when buying movement set in on the
Long statement, and the trading took on
all the appearance of a runaway bull
market. Some of the advances were vio-
lent. Metropolitan Street Railway being
pushed up to 1531a, net rise of 13 points.
This stock closed at 151. Manhattan, Su-
gar and New York Central were also con-
spicuous in the movement, the former
showing an extreme advance of points,
and the latter two rising points each.
The whole list felt the upward movement
to a very considerable extent. Buying for
London account helped the strength in the
early dealings. There was some recovery
in Spanish securities in London, and this
seemed to restore confidence to some ex.
tent over the relations between Spain and
the United States. The inquiry for gold
for American account in London and Paris
is reported to be still very keen, but no
further, engagements of gold were an
nounced.

Oglehv's Successor

SANTA BARBARA, March 1.-The board
of supervisors will tomorrow select a sue
cessor to District Attorney A. A. Oglesby,
whose office was made vacant by death
last week. Notwithstanding the fatality
that apparently hangs over the life of the
Santa Barbara county official, there are
several applicants for the vacancy, includ-
ing Judge Phillip Stewart, C. A. Storke, e.
w. Squire and H. c. Booth. The first two
named are of the Democratic faith, while
the latter are Republicans. AS the board of
supervisors is Democratic by majority of
four out of five, the contest is believed to
lie between Storke and Stewart.
