ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
Firmness of the Money Market the
Feature of the Week.

! New York. Aug. 3.-Bradstreet's fin
ancial review tomorrow will say: At
the beginning of the present week there
was an apparent accession of fresh out
side speculative buying but as the
week progressed this fell off again and
the market reverted to its former con-
dition of dullness. The professional in
terestS which are responsible for the
greater part of the transactions gen.
orally seemed inclined to bull the mar
ket, but this attitude was in a certain
degree modified by the continued firm
ness Of the money market which holds
its recent advance and gives no sign
of enlarged supplies or a renewal of its
former extreme ease. There has been

June statements of several large rail-
road systems and the continuance of
increases in the gross earnings of their

of holders in the granger and other

WILLIAM LEE HURT.
Fireman Injured and Narrowly Es-
capes Death.

William Lee, fireman at the Central
Fire station had a miraculous escape
from death yesterday morning. AS it
is he is now lying in cot at the sta
ton suffering from badly bruised
head and back.
About Gas an alarm came in from
box Is. corner of Twenty-first and
Washington and the chemical hose
truck was headed for the scene. As
the bulky affair turned the corner at
Twenty-fifth and Washington going at
rapid gait, the right rsld wheel of
the wagon struck the ra-. of the street
car track breaking the axle squarely
in two. The wheel shot across the
street and the wagon overturned and
was dragged along the track for some
distance before the excited horses could
be brought to a stop. Captain Rogers
and Firemen Barton, Waldram, Driver
and Lee were on the wagon when the
accident occurred and all were thrown
to the ground. Lee receiving the most
violent fall
The unfortunate part of it all is that
the accident was due to the act of some
miscreant who, to play practical joke
upon the department, had turned in a
false alarm, the box having been
found broken upon the chiefs arrival.
The damage to the wagon is about
$500. The axle is broken and the DASH
board and one side badly shattered.

BELIEVE THEY WERE SW|NDLED
PEOPLE WHO INVESTED IN
BRITISH COLUMBIA MINES.
Preacher One of the Head Men
stockholders Want to Know About
Their Money.

New York, Aug. 4.-The Herald says:
With apparently nothing TO show for
their investment of S67 1872. many stock
holders in the Kootenai Water Supply
company of Waneta, B. c., are clam
oring for a legal investigation of the
company's affairs. Money poured into
the Golfers of this corcern from nearly
every part of the United States, al
though the chief compliments are resi-
dents of New York and New Jersey.
Most of the complaints are directed
against the Rev. Lewis r. Streeter.
now pastor of the Williams avenue Nj.
Z. church, South Brooklyn, and through
whom many shareholders invested;
Stuart w. Cowan, a lawyer of Mount
Vernon, and George ]. Goodhue, man.
ager of the company whose present To-
cation could not be learned yesterday.
The Kootenai Water Supply company
according to its prospectus. was ORGAN
lied under the laws of Arizona, on Sep
TENDER %, 1894. 1t was capitalized at
81, 000 900 in 81 shares. Its main office
was in Rochester, n. Y, and its leased
mines and property in Waneta, y. c.,
the Kootenai mining district. The Of
ficerS of the company were given as
John r. Strauchen, president, H. NJ.
Goodhue, vice president; NJ. w. Run
del, secretary and treasurer. and George
]. Goodhue manager and attorney Di-
rectors were Stuart w. Cowan, Mount
Vernon; G.. J. Goodhue, j. R. Strauchen,
NJ. W. Rundel and H. NJ. Goodhue,
Rochester.
According to the prospectus, the
company had, under a ten year lease
with privilege of indefinite renewal, all
properties owned by the Kootenai Hy-
draulic Mining company including ten
placer claims averaging eighty acres
each: three others soon to be granted
and valuable water rights on the Pen
D'Oreille river. Promises were held out
aside from the returns of the mines, OF
an assured net income of 800 day
from leasing water and big profits to
be obtained from the sale of town
property. Big profits, according to the
prospectus, were assured by tests.
1T is unqualifiedly believed" 1t was
explained, that the company's lease
upon it's placer claims alone is of great
value"
Upon these representations many per-
sons invested. Shareholders who have
made careful investigation estimate
that at least 1920 900 was paid in to the
company's treasury. A request from
the officers for a payment of per
cent assessment, however, did not meet
with general favor among shareholders
although it took in 5000.
The investors are dubious about real
iZing on their shares and some of them
use strong language in speaking of the
promoters.

The principal bear factor outside of
the money market situation was the
appearance of yellow fever at southern
ports. This has led to some selling of
shares on railroads considered likely to
suffer from the outbreak of a genuine
epidemic. but the needlessnesS Of fear
on this score soon became apparent and
deprived the matter of much influence.
The subsistence of the recent strikes

symptoms of further labor troubles has
been noticed by the street as a
favorable sign. London took little
part in this market, though at the be-
ginning of the week there was some
buying of our stocks there said to be

that recent large shipments of Ameri-
can securities from London to New

WILL GET NO NEW TRIAL.
Chances In Favor of Mrs. Botkin
Have Faded AWAY.

San Francisco, Aug. At has been
discovered that the order of the su-
preme court granting Albert Hoff a
new trial was not based on an error on
the part of the presiding judge in deliv-
ering his charge to the jury regarding
the motive, but on the question of cir
cumstantial evidence. The supreme
court holds that the charge relative to
the circumstantial evidence in the case
was faulty.
This places a new light on the matter
and precludes the possibility of Mrs
Cordelia Botkin getting a new trial for
