CRACKED A SAFE.
Bold Burg lars Get fn Their Work on bar.
. wood aud Curtis.

The big iron safe in the Office OF Har-
wood & Curtis, feed dealers, was crack
ed by burglars some time Tuesday
night but as far as can be learned the
intruders go TO booty.
This is the second time the new
building Of this firm on the railroad
near Twenty-eighth street has been en-
tered by burglars in the past month.
The men who did the business last
night evidently knew what they We're
about and it is believed that they are
the same ones who cracked the sa fe
Of Frank Dennie. the pawnbroker, but
were frightened off before they could
oEen the inner safe door. behind which
was $4,000 worth Of jewelry and $3.50
in cash.
Harwood & Curtis safe was success
fully opened Tuesday night. The combi-
nation handle was pried off and in the
hole was inserted the charge Of dyna-
mite which did the work. There was no
money in the safe and Messrs Harwood
& Curtis have not missed any papers.
To set in the building the burglars
pried Omen the metal fire door and the
inner wooden door with a crowbar.
The first time the place was robbed
was on the night before the circus, but
it is not believed that professionals
did this job. The intruders carried off
revolver, several coats, some Office
fixtures and lot of postage and r..vc-
nue. stamps. but did not attempt to
crack the safe.

Continue to Hava Trouble.


The contractors working on the foun-
dalton Of the new winston block on the
west side of Washington avenue. be
tween Twenty-seventh and Twenty
eighth streets, are continuing to have
trouble owing to lack Of space in which
to work and the treacherous nature CT
the soil.
1T Will be necessary to move some OF
the brick and other material off the
sidewalk before the proposed rfliscd
walk can be built. The contractors
yesterday made preparations to begin
laying brick on the side next to the
walk Just before the masons began
work, the w7alkway caved in and filled
tine trench. necessitating, OF course a
new excavation.

GENERAL MARKET.

The strong position of the Maine Cen

ment commends itself. During the year
ended June 30. 1898. the net earnings
increased S45,S62 over 1897, which is re-
latively much better than the Boston
4 Maine and this years earnings are
much larger, owing to the improved
business conditions and especially TO
the great production of the pulp and
paper mills. During the past fifteen
years the Maine Central has paid divi-
bends of six per cent per annum, and
net earnings for the year 1898 were suf-
ficicnt to have paid eight. There are

MARKET NOTES,

Although automobile vehicles are as
yet almost untried, at least Il compa-
MES for their construction and opera
ton have recently been organized, in
dicating an intention to push these We
hicles into prominence. OF the II com
panies, eight appear to have adopted
compressed air in some form, while
three viii use electricity.
Omaha reports from over Nebraska
say damage to winter wheat and rye
is greatly exaggerated.
Prominent dealers in anthracite coal
say that the much talked of ad-
vance in prices on anthracite cannot be
put into force at this time as the trade
is entering the dull season Of the year
The amount Of investment orders foI
local railroad stocks, especially Ole
Colony and New Haven, is unusually
large, much beyond what it is pos
sible to fill. Most of them are limited
as TO price, so that the stocks are not
bid up in proportion.

stantially the same as the last few
days, although there is no gain in
strength. In fact, there is possibly a
slightly relaxed feeling, but so slight
that il is hardly pronounced enough 70

copper continues scarce and would
command I61a11s5sc., but sellers of
spot ask lSZc., while futures for sum
mer months can be bought readily at

Lake.
New York and Paris have been heavy
buyers Of Anaconda shares. which have
risen to &91z. Some very large options
have recently been exercised on the
stock. and il is said that some import

basis Of the buying.
