A Young Man Shot by an Alleged
Whisky Peddler.
Special to the Ardmoreite.
Ravia, Sept. IA young man
by the name of ,Hazellt. employed
in one Of the tie camps near here
on the Frisco extension, was MUIR
dered last night by an alleged
whisky peddler.
The cause of the killing is un-
known. The murderer made good
his escape, but a man by the name
of Williams, was arrested. charged
with being accessory to the crime
and has been taken in custody OF
Marshal Peary and Deputy United
States Marshal Bridges to Tisho-
mingo, where he will be given an
examining trial before Judge
Hardy this afternoon.
The parties are strangers here
and it is difficult to obtain minute
details or to learn names.
Rumor has it that the whisky
peddler assumed to be a United
States officer and going into the
tie camp arrested his victim and
removed him to another camp
| After heaping abuse upon him hi
deliberately raised his gun an(
fred bullet that went crashing
through the brain of the young
man killing him instantly.

Nashville made showing for the week
which was 81 per cent. better than that
of list year, the increase in gross
amounting to S1S6,345. All the returns
show very striking gains though those
enumerated are the largest.
Cotton carrying roads especially
showed recovery from the recent low
level of earnings and were advanced in
price in consequence. The tonic effect
OF these extraordinary earnings proved
too mulch for the bears and they were
forced to cover The continued ease of
call money, which ranged from to 212
per cent. neutralized the alarmist view
of the money market outlook. Some
slight effect was produced also by the
reports of further British successes in
South Africa Erie Telephone rose
buoyantly some s points. Dealings were
not on a large scale and the market fell
very low before the close, but held
quite firm near the top.
Business in bonds showed some falling
off in volume and price changes were
mixed. Total sales (par value) 81 $780,

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Feb. 19.-The outside pub
lie still refused to manifest any interest
in the stock market today and operations
continued wholly in the hands Of pro-
fessional traders. This element made
an attempt to force continuance OF
last weeks reaction, using as their main
argument the drain being made upon the
cash resources of the banks. Today's
statement of Sur, Treasury operations
showed a loss already since February
10th to that institution of 81 ,421 GOO.
This showing helped the bears in an
early raid on the market which wiped
out the opening gains and carried prices
generally below Saturdays closing level.
One or two stocks suffered from indi-
vidual causes and helped on the reac-
tion. Pacific Mail, Peoples Gas and
Third Avenue showed continued weak
ness and Pennsylvania was depressed on
reports of a new car trust involving
many million dollars. The bears did not
succeed in bringing out any large offer
ings and were driven to cover on the
development of aggressive strength In
several stocks, including American Sug-
ar. Rubber, Chicago, Indianapolis and
Louisville American Tobacco General
LdCkdWdud anu AVENUE
The most potent factor in the rally
was the very large increase in earnings
for the second week in February shown
by IA number of railroads. Norfolk and
Western made the most striking exhibit
with an increase over the corresponding
period of last year of S133.S5S which is
very nearly 96 per cent This resulted
in very large absorption of the stock at
an extreme advance of 2H and had a
sympathetic effect on all the bituminous
coal carrying roads, contributing to the
rally in Pennsylvania and Baltimore and
Ohio. Toledo and Ohio Central showed
an increase in earnings of 70 per cent.
| for the second week i'm February.
| These evidences of the large demand
| for bituminous coal were coupled with

COTTON.
New York Feb, 19.-The action of the
local cotton market reflected increased
hesitation. Early cables We're disap-
pointing and led to "a weak opening with
prices showing a decline of from 2 to 4
points om the call. For some time the
feeling continued weak under the pres
sure of long cotton, and prices continued
to decline until the low level was from
3 to IL points under the closing prices
of Saturday. In addition to the bearish
influences of unsatisfactory cables the
days port receipts were estimated at a
higher figure than last week and last
year. Subsequently, however the mark
ct became frmer without being aggres-
sively bullish, on some recovery in the
English market as shown by later ca
bles. Covering became more or less ac-
tive and prices not only returned to the
closing figures of Saturday, but at one
time, showed a net gain of from to :
points on the more active positions.
There was also some good buying led by
a local concern having large New Eng
land connections. This house bought
about 10000 bales, chiefly March, April
and May, and although this could not
be classed as active buying it developed
the fact that the market was ready to
respond to anything like bullish leader
ship, the shorts being nervous and easily
drivem to cover. There was very little
outside speculation at any time during
the session.
Todays market, so far as the volume
in business WAS concerned was the
smallest Of recent times and closed
steady at net l point higher to 8 points
