RAPIST HUNG.
The Fiend Protested Religion On Til
GallowS

Lagrange, KY, February 3.-William
Miller, the coored rapist, was hanged here
at TIA o'clock today.
This Is the first legal hanging in Oldham
county in fifty-two years. The execution
took place in the Jail yard and only about
fifty persons witnessed it.
Miller professed religion and said that he
was ready to die.
Very little interest was taken in Miller's
case by the colored people of Oldham coun-
ty, and the only negro who witnessed the
execution was Professor Watkins, of the
co!ored high school of Louisville, who was
Millers teacher in the public school.
Miller was not quite II years old.
The crime for which Miller was hanged
was committed about o'clock on the after
noon of September 1. Mrs. Gertrude Leet,
wife of Frank Leet, farmer residing four
miles west of Lagrange, had visited her
grandmother, Mrs. George Head near Peru
station.
She left on horseback for home about
o'clock in the afternoon, and when a short
distance from her grandmother's was as
saulted. Miller intercepted her in the clump
of bushes and called to her to stop. She
turned her horse as to face him. He
put his hand behind him as if to draw a
pistol and demanded her to dismount. She
screamed and the negro threatened to blow
her brains out If she made another outcry.
He then pulled her from her horse and
choked her until she was unable to resist
him further.

QUIETING DOWN
OF SPECULATION
Has Not Impaired the Business
Situation.
WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Dun Says the Volume Of Trade During
January Has Gone Far Beyond
All Precedents-The Week
in the Iron Markets.

New York, February S.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
A quieting down of speculative interest Is
noticeable in a number of markets this
week without, however, bringing to light
any important impairment of the under
lying strength of the general business stu
alton. The outburst of last week in wheat
and cotton in fact must be regarded as fur
nishing an event for outside speculative in
terest because these staples did not sud
denly gain in strength from causes located
in those trades. But the activity was re-
ally a result of an overflow of speculation
from the stock market.
The important price recessions of the
week are those noted in wheat and other
cereals except oats. Immediately instru-
mental in bringing about this reaction
might be mentioned the final government
estimate of last years crop, placing it at
675, coo bushels, far in excess of earlier
estimates by the same authority.
Checked Export Trade
The advance in wheat checked export
trade, but an improvement in this direction
is reported at the lower range of values.
A sympathetic Quieting down of interest in
good spinning grades and the advancing
tendency in manufactured goods, which ap-
pear to be moving well spring account
have operated toward steadying this staple,
more particularly the crop movement
shows little tendency to increase, notwith-
standing the recent advances. Explana-
tory of this latter condition may be the
reports of bad weather and country roads
throughout many sections of the south.
Print cloths are at the highest point
reached for over a year past and sympa-
thetic strength in other classes of cotlons
is noticeable.
Feature of Iron Market
The feature OF the iron trade this week
is the announcement of the selling of
practically the entire output of the Lake
Superior ore mills for the coming year.
Large pig iron consumers appear TO have,
temporarily at least Withdrawn from the
market and the iron markets as q whole
are quiet An active demand for finished
products, however, still continues and steel
plates, iron bars, rails, structural and car
material have been in active request with
some important advances reported.
The strength of other metals continues a
feature.
The strength of the lumber market is
feature.
Cold. stormy weather, while interfering
to some extent with wholesale ostrbutive
trade has been beneficial to retail lines
which have made good sales of heavy
clothing and footwear. Spring trade has
shown a further advance at a number of
markets and the outlook is regarded as a
favorable one.
Wheat, including flour, shipments for the
week aggregate 6,5S54S bushels against

covered with white satin and the center
piece was of Renaissance lace over pink
satin. The floral decorations were entirely
of pink carnations and white violets. Pink
tapers in individual candelabra added to
the beautiful effect The decorations of
the room were in pink carnations, pink
tapers being placed on the mantels and
cabinets. The second drawing room was
in red, the carnations and the tapers
carrying out this vivid color note. The
place cards were exquisite water colors,
representing Cupids and hearts.
The occasion was in every way a nota-
bic event in society, and was the first of a
series of farewell parties that will be given
for Miss Rogan previous to her wedding.
Miss Brown, the charming young hos
tess, wore a distinctly elegant toilette of
white liberty silk over white satin. She

FORMED A TRUST.
Lady Who Schlatter Married is Also
Healer"

The unexpected venture of Schlatter, the
Divine Healer, into the matrimonial field
has created considerable comment among
the people who were interested in his
street performances while here.
1t seems that the lady he married was
resident of Birmingham and also a divine
healer She had travelled all over the
north doing the healing act and for awhile
was known as the feminine edition of
Schatter, the great and only healer" So,
if this be true, when it comes to curing the
sick it is a case of Greek meet Greek"
Possibly it was considered wise to form
trust popular nowadays, and by CONSOLE
dating the healing forces get a corner on
the market. Anyway, the gentleman
healer and the lady healer are now one
and the same and b,cil arrival is anxiously
expected ri The city.
- Mrs. Schlatter was known here as Mrs.
Conner, and was quite an ardent believer
in divine healing. Immediately upon
Schlatters arrival she became interested
and called to see him. She also accompan-
and it is supposed that owing to the SINH
lar views of the couple they became in
fatuated with each other which finally re-
suited in the romantic marriage at Gull
man.
AS nothing has been heard from the
honeymoon trip it is not known whether
Schlatter will continue operations at this
place not.

FINANcIAL REYIEW

Bradstreet's Financial Review tomorrow
will say:
Although the stock market has been ac-
tive,th volume of transactions has fallen
off from the high records established in the
preceding week After such remarkable
exhibition of strength and speculative ex-
citement as the preceding week has afforded
a reaction was considered due by many
experienced observers and not a few of the
professional traders have shown a DISPOSE
tion to take the bear SIDE at least temper
arily. 1t cannot be said that the course of
the market has corresponded with such ex-
pectations. On Friday in particular, when
the declines were sharpest and traders
seemed to be successfully raiding the mar
ket, the end of the day brought with it
renewed buying support and a sharp re-
covery the losses. Yet 1t has also been
evident that the eager public purchasing
of stocks has been measureably exhausted
Under current Quotations
Tho fresh buying orders that come into
the market are largely limited to figures
under current quotations, and on the other
hand the realizing of profits on large scale
has been one of the factors in the weeks
speculation. In fact, conservative houses
have generally advised such action and the
public has not been slow to follow It, This
has checked the general advancing tenden-
cy and caused irregular declines in many OF
the standard stocks and those which led
last weeks rise. On the other hand, buliish
activity has been mainly turned to special
ties and securities manipulated by the
many bull pools which are usually organ
lied when the market is in its present cen
dition.
Strength and weakness were irregularlY
displayed this week and while the former
has predominated, the opinion seemed TO
gain ground, particularly in Wall street
professional circles that the bull specula-
ton eliminated, at least temporarily, IN
the wonderful activity of january 70 ana
the succeeding days.
