THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.
Probability That the Stringency in
Money VIII Abate.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-The bank state
ment yesterday was a large improvement
over that of the previous week, but it was
in some ways disappointing. The sur
plus reserve is increased from nothing To
nearly 100000. This, however, was only
attained by heavy cutting of loans, the
amount of cash in the banks being less by
81, 500 900. The light that the statement
throws on the probable course of the
money market this week is not particular
ly strong. There is only a trifing in
crease in the national bank circulation
shown, and it is TO be inferred that the
next statement Will reflect rather large in
creases in this direction. Several of the
banks have asked the Treasury to print
bank notes for them, but have not as yet
received them from the department The
money needed for the moving of the crops
has now all been sent West and South, and
it is believed by financial people that be-
fore the end of the month the movement
may be In the other direction. The ad-
vance payment of the October interest by
the Government is not shown to any extent
in yesterdays statement, but may be a
larger factor this week. On the whole,
therefore, although there is still some un-
certainty, the outlook favors a better
money situation this week and from this
time on for several months.
The money situation has been the one
intrinsic bear feature in the stock mar
ket. The situation in the Transvaal and
the fear at times that the Dreyfus affair
would cause trouble might have served as
bear arguments and perhaps have caused
some selling, but they cannot be consid-
cred as of any real Importance on this side
of the water. With the prospect of a bet
ter money situation many conservative
| brokers are again advising the buying of
stocks all weak spots for speculation
and for investment. There are the best OF
reasons that the break of the past two
weeks in the stock market has been the
worst and the last that Will occur before
| the autumn and winter boom. Breaks will
| doubtless occur, but the general tendency
will probably be upward from this time.

A Girl Comes to America to Meet Her
Fiauce

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Oliyette Nelson
is a dainty little Swedish maiden, twenty
years old. with fiaxen hair, blue eyes, per-
feet teeth, delicate features, and dimpIes
in her chin. Andrew Guttermansen, who
came to America eight weeks ago, was her
favored admirer. Andrew went to live
with his sister at 215 Twenty-seventh
Street, South Brooklyn. month ago he
wrote to Olivette: Come to America. 1t
is most beautiful country, but | am not
happy without you. Come and we will be
married.
0livette was willing TO come, but her
father is a poor peasant farmer. She
packed her few belongings in a handbag
and bade her old father and mother good
bye. Pm going to America to join An

Making her way 10 Copenhagen, Olivette
stole aboard the Thingyalla line steamer
Norge, bound for New York. She did not
have money TO pay for her passage, so she
secreted herself among the passengers
until the boat left port. The captain did
not scold her when he found that she did
not have a ticket. Instead, he sent her
down into the steerage and told Steward
Benjamin to make her as comfortable as
possible.
The Norge arrived here yesterday. Oil
vette dictated the first message when the
steerage passengers were transferred TO
the Barge Office. IL was to Andrew. He
went TO see her in the afternoon. Owing
TO complications she was detained at the
Barge Office. Today she was released.

IN A PIT OF COAL FIRE.
Heroic Action of q Girl to Save Her
Mother.

DANBURY, Conn, Sept. 24.-In New
Fairfield, where she lives, Anna Pierce is
being hailed as heroine. and her neigh
bcrs are talking of how, Friday evening,
she saved her mother from death in
burning charcoal pit, and was herself SO
severely burned that her recovery is doubt
full
The Pierce home is on the shore of
Balls Pond, and in the woods, about half
a mile away, a company has established a
camp, where it is burning charcoal for the
New York market. The workmen dig a
deep pit and fiji it with wood A fire is
kindled at the bottom, and when it is all
aglow earth is heaped over the mouth of
the pit, and combustion proceeds until the
charcoal is made. A pit is marked only
by a small mound OF earth covering it.
Miss Pierce and her mother went for a
stroll through the woods last evening.
The path they followed led through the
charcoal burners camp. Both were famil-
lar with the way the industry is carried
on. and walking together, they for time
avoided the treacherous places.
Mrs. Pierce became separated from her
daughter and leaving the path, she walked
short distance at right angles to it. Her
daughter was Mortified to see her mother
stepping on one or the MOUNDS Wnlch
masked a pit, and which, in the twilight,
she had not noticed.
Miss Pierce, who is only eighteen years
old and of slight figure, sprang after her
mother, who now stood on the summit of
the mound, unconscious of her danger. The
daughter dare not cry to warn her. lest by
sudden movement she should break
through the thin crust of earth. Approach
ing from behind the girl darted upon the
treacherous mound, seized her mother in
her arms, and putting forth ali her strength,
threw her several feet, so that Mrs. Pierce
rolled down the side OF the mound to safety
on solid ground.
As she did so Miss Pierce felt the earth
crumble under her feet, and before she
could take a step a part of the crust gave
way, and, with cry, she sank TO heI
shoulders into the glowing charcoal. She
/ screamed and struggled to free herself.
! Several times she had almost extricated
! herself. when the edge of the mound would
! crumble under her weight. She finally
reached a firm spot, and, with the assist
ance Of her mother, Miss Pierce dragged
herself to the solid ground and fell un-
conscious. The lower part of her body was
/ terribly burned.
/ Several men came in answer to Mrs.
Pierce's cries. and carried her daughter
home. DR.. Wade, of this city, who was sum-
moned, is hopeful of saving the girls life
but he says that her condition is critical.

A MURDER MYSTERY OUT.
Charge of an Aged Wife Against
Hef Husband.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept. 24.-Point-
ing dramatically at her white haired hus-
band, aged Mrs. Elizabeth Delemater in
court yesterday accused him of the murder
of Dr. Durkin twenty-five years ago. The
mystery of the affair has never been clear
ed. James Delemater, who is about sew
snty years old, was on trial before Judge
Woodward for desertion, the wife accusing
him Of throwing her out Of the house and
refusing to support her, after thirty-six
years OF married life. She had testified
that he had vicious temper, and he was
denying il. when, angry at his assertions,
she cried out, who killed Dr. Durkin?''
The spectators and lawyers We're silent
with surprise. You did" shouted the
aged woman, pointing to her husband
Then she turned to the judge and exelaim-
ed: "I was good enough for him then
when ! walked all the way from Hazleton
to get witnesses to help him in his case
Judge Woodward all this time was gazing
al the man, and finally Delemater stood up
and said:
yes, Judge, I'm the man.
This recalled TO the judges memory one
of the most remarkable cases in the Grim
inal history of the county. About twenty
five years ago German physician named
DR.. Durkin, who was believed TO carry
considerable money, was murdered in his
room ina Scranton hotel, and $500 was
stolen. Delemater was arrested near
Plattsburg. N. T., charged with murder, it
being alleged that he had confessed the
crime TO a boy with whom he worked.
Delemater was brought to this county,
Scranton at the time being in Luzerne
county, and Judge Woodward was then the
prosecuting attorney.
After a sensational trial, Delemater was
convicted Of murder in the first degree but
a new trial was obtained, and so many
friends Of the prisoner swore to an alibi
that he was acquitted.
Judge Woodward lost sight of Delemater
and had not heard Of him since until yes
terday morning when the wife, who did
her utmost to free him twenty-five years
ago, accused him of the crime.
The judge continued the desertion case
until the next term, and advised the aged
couple TO go home and try and live peace
fully together and not try for a separation
as at their age they might expect a higher
court TO separate them shortly.
Neither Delemater nor his wife would
say anything regarding the murder case
and the woman seemed sorry for what she
had said.
