Lazard Freres G. Co. have engaged ST.
000. 900 gold for immediate Importation.
At the quoted exchange rate this transac-
ton does not show profit, but it is easy
TO understand how it might be worth the
difference to New York people, either 10
help the market or to loan at the pres
ent high rates. 1t was also noted this
morning that another s1,500,000 is coming
by way of California from Australia These
two circumstances cannot but be of bene-
fit to the stock market. Many believe that
they herald a quite extensive movement
of gold to this country.

The weakest stock on the list for the
past two or three days has been American
Tobacco 1t was pointed out in this col
umn several days ago that this stock look
ed weak and treacherous and the develop
ments since that time have shown this to
be the fact Yesterday it sold at 121 and
today 1t was off more than five points, SELL
ing at 115 and fraction. No other stock
on the list has tumbled to the same eX-
tent. The movement may be simply ma
nipulation, or it may be due to the selling
out of inside stock. The latter is the more
plausible theory.

Sugar was again weak and the persist

The earnings for the third week of Sep
tember are beginning to come in. 1t is a
reassuring fact to the believers in the re-
ality of present prosperity that they all
show the same large gains st. Paul's
statement is not so fine one as were some
of the June and July figures, but there
can be no possibility Of complaint against
il when 1t is remembered that St. Paul last
year earned II per cent on the common
stock, by far the largest business ever done
by it. The gross earnings for the third
week Of the month were $S90,694 an in
crease of s51.946. The gross earnings since
the beginning of the fiscal year have been
$S, Alb, All, an increase of 81, ,206, 461. This
rate of increase if kept up for the year
as it has for nearly the entire first quarter,
will make the gross for the year something
like $42, 100000, or an increase of about
81, 600 coo. The outlook in this is for some
thing like Is per cent earned on the COM
mon stock this year. st. Paul was weak
this morning as were the other grangers,
though there was a slight disposition to
advance noticeable before noon.
The evening times., 1899-09-26

Other statements of gross earnings for
the week were as follows: Ontario and
Western increase, S22. .66S; from July in
crease, 1922 .oS4; Mexican Central increase,
s39, ,S61, from July 1 increase, S1,3i5, 730;
Iowa Central increase, 1892, from July 1

The Discovery of the Body of
Leopold Edlinger
Who Was So FOulIy Murdered
Near Fort Scott
REVEALS SAD STORY.
Economical and Saving to Buy
Him a Home
To Keep His Parents In Their
Declining Days.

Fort Scott. Nov. 22.-The body of
Leopold Edlinger found dead here was
buried in the pOtter's field. There is
new story in connection with the muir
der. Edinger had worked for Farmer
Tyler about three years, coming there
from near Rockville when about Is
years of age. He was an honest Ger
man boy, a good worker and extremely
industrious. Being compelled to work
for small wages he was saving and al
ways guarded in his business transac-
tions. He was temperate in his habits
and Mr.. Tyler says he did not have an
enemy that he was aware of in the
world, which is additional evidence that
he was foully murdered for the team
and the little money he had in his pos
session. His ambition was to make
home for his parents Edlinger was am
bltOuS to save enough money TO pay
for the farm he had contracted for in
Oklahoma and during the years that he
was in the employ of Mr.Tyler he had
only spent about three dollars. In sum-
ming UP the murdered boys finances
yesterday MrTyler disclosed that when
he was making preparations to go to
Oklahoma he had $780,
He and Mr. Tyler went to the bank at
Butler and forwarded $17S to the bank at
kinghsher, Oklahoma, near where was
his destination. He also made the first
payment of $500 on the land through the
same bank. He paid Sl45 for the team of
mules, $40 for the horse S54 for the wagon
and other articles including new set of
double harness and Mr.. Tyler's calcula-
tions are that he could not have had over
$50 in his possession at the time he left
Butler.
The sack in which was contained the
rocks was recognized as one bought by
Edlinger before starting. Mr.. Tyler said
the team of mules We're extra ordinary
good animals and anybody could easily
have disposed of Edlinger'S outfit for $500.
Now that the murdered mans identity,
which was at first mystery, is positively
known, the authorities will hunt for the
assassins as it is evident that there were
more than one.

DEATH OF MR.. HOBART.

IF it had been wholly unexpected the
death of Vice President Garret A. Ho-
bart, which occurred at his home in
Paterson, n. J, yesterday, could scarce
ly have caused a greater shock to the
country. The fact that the public had
been prepared for such an announce
ment for some weeks failed to mitigate
the deep sorrow and sense of loss felt
by all and especially by those who were
included among the associates and per
sonal friends of the dead statesman.
Political opponents join with his
party associates in bearing testimony
to his worth as citizen and a presid-
ing officer.
Mr.. Hobart was perhaps the first
vice president in the history Of the
country to give to the Office which he
held that dignity and Importance in
connection with national affairs to
which it seems to be entitled. He was
more than a fgurehead and president
Of the senate. He took part in the
councils of the administration and his
help and advice were often sought.
His death creates the first vacancy
in the Office of vice president that has
occurred since the new law became eff
feetive. which puts the secretary of
state in the line of succession in case
there should be a vacancy in the Office
Of president also.

Fifteen Hundred Men Start on
a March to Paris.

New York Nov. pa Herald dispatch
from Paris says: Fifteen hundred strik-
ers at Audincourt-Valentig Bealieu in
the ,Doubs department, most of whom are
employed by the MN. Peugeots automob bile
factory started yesterday to march to
Paris.
They were accompanied by $50 cyclists
and a number of wagons filled with food.
At half past one O'Clock in the after
noon they arrived at DanWaut1n before
BelfOrt. The prefect was at once inform
ed of their arrival and Immediately took
charge of the police service.
Troops in full marching order were sent
to guard the road. At 2 O'Clock Pierre
Bietrey who is leading the strikers, came
to inform the prefect, who was waiting
at one gate of the city at the head of the
military, that the strikers had the inten-
for the night. The prefect refused to al
low them to pass, Bietrey replied that
the strikers would pass all the same and
returned to DanWautin.
Half an hour afterwards the strikers
arrived in good order with trumpetS
sounding, drums beating and flags flying.
When they had come withing fifty yards
of the city wall the prefect called on them
to halt
While the leaders were parIying with
him, M. Julliard, assistant mayor of Bel
fort, declared that the strikers had a per-
feet right to pass The prefect replied
that. he alone was responsible for the

another route, was arrested and brought

HELP FOR HoUsEKEEPERs.

An association has been form
ed in New York along the
lines of the American Dis
trict Telegraph company. 1t has for
its object the supplying of domestic
service to the subscribers whenever de-
sired, at stipulated price, which has
been fixed at 20 cents per hour
The membership fee in the associa-
tion has been placed at S5 for the first
branch of service and 81 for each ad-
ditionaI branch.
The plan appears so simple and so
commendable that the wonder is that
it has not been tried before. The house
keeper on sweeping days has but to
notify headquarters of her wants and
she is supplied with an expert sweeper,
one whose business it is to sweep. She
comes just when she is wanted, does
her work and goes away.
If there be ironing to do the same
process is gone through, and so on
through all the departments of house
keeping.
There seems little doubt that the plan
viii result in considerable saving in
both worry and money, to say nothing
of the superior service which would be
obtained.
