There were quite a,number OF witnesses
of the fatality for IL occurred just at the
hour when the working people were go
ing 10 their dinners.

a very dangerous crossing. IL is at grade
and there Is a long stretch of straight
tracks. over which fast time - made.
Atwell's avenue hill shuts OF a view OF
trains approaching from the north. and
Broadway bridge those coming from the
south.
There were many people killed here,
owing TO the recklessness OF the mill
operatives who lodged under the gates
and ran across the tracks when they
knew trains were approaching. and To re-
duce the chances OF fatalities an iron
bridge was built by which a safe passage
over the road bed could be had.
This was not used as much as had been
hoped. for people objected TO the long
climb up the steep stairs and death came
but not so often.
This noon a well-dressed woman stood
at one of the gates. waiting to get across
the track.

An inward bound freight train was
passing, and as soon as the last car
had gone by, she made quick rush and
ran directly In front of an outward
bound passenger train.
The woman was knocked down and In

tive severed her neck.
When the train had passed the bystand-
ers were Mortified. The unfortunate wom-
an had been beheaded as completely as IL
her neck had been placed on headsman's

Word was sent TO the Sixth police sta

NORTHERN PACIFIC'S BOOM
The Common Stock Scores Another
Rise of Seventeen Points.
Enormous Dealings overshadow the
Rest OF the Mnrkct-The Railway
List stiu Centre of Attraction
Unsettled in the Closing Hour.

NEW YORK, May THE dealings to-
day in the Northern Pacific stocks fairly
overshadowed the remainder of the mar
ket On enormous dealings Northern Pa
cific common advanced over 90 per cent
above its lowest level of yesterday and
over II points above last nights closing
figures. The preferred stock likewise
scored an amazing advance. lnasmuch as
the directors of the company have the
power under its charter to retire the pre-
ferred stock at par on giving notice to
that effect in January of any year, il
was difficult to account for the fact that
today the stock sold at a premium above
what is virtually a call price Of over 10
points.
Interest in the days market stiIl con-
vorged largely upon the railway list, blt
the trading was. nevertheless. well di-
versified. Aside from Northern Pacific
and Canadian Pacific there were a num-
Der Of very extensive movements noted
in the railway list Instances were Mis-
souri, Pacific, Rock Island, St Louis, and
San Francisco, Southern Pacific, St. Louis
and Southwestern preferred, and notably
Union Pacific.
Another active stock which showed a
reactoaary tendency was Atchison COM
mon. On exceedingly heavy dealings. the
STOCK broke very Sharply at the opening,
but nothing whatever that was definite
in the way of news or gossip attended its
course. Indeed. the days enormous trans
actions and violent movements in prices
were again accountable for only through
the citation of simple technical causes.
In the forenoon the anthracite coal issues
showed evidences of increasing strength
and animation, but they, together with
the remainder of the market, suffered sub
sequently by reason of the concentration
of interest on the remarkable movements
in the Pacific stocks
The days money market continued ac-
tive, but the bulk of the borrowing on
call was effected around per cent. The
tendency OF the local money market was
reflected in a material decline in sterling
exchange, which sets at rest. for the
time being at any rate, the question of
further exports of gold.
The extremely sensational advance in
Northern Pacific common, appeared to
create no little unsettlement of confidence
as regarded the remainder OF the market
and with the course Of the afternoon heavy
selling orders arrived in every quarter.
The money market continued firm,
circumstance which contributed to the
declines in the last hour The trading con-
unued on an enormous scale. and the
tone of the dealings was exceedingly I'M
settled.

The vividness of the speculation does
not grow dull. Yesterdays market was
in every way equal TO any that has gone
before. II marked the first advance of a
railway share over 40 points in two days
and a day that can show this is certainly
10 be considered far from commonplace.
The session was wild. not alone in North
ern Pacific but in all the securities that
have occupied the attention of the street
for the past two or three weeks. Union
Pacific, all the grangers, and especially
Atchison common and preferred and ST
Paul, Baltimore and Ohio, the Gould Sc
curities, and many others nuctuated over
many points during the session, making
alternate gains and losses, with little ap-
parent rhyme or reason until the last
half hour, when everything went in one
direction, downward most decisiyely
business was in the millions OF shares,
as usual. II is probable that IL went as
high as 100000 shares. The blocks of
stocks bought and sold were quite as
large as heretofore. showing that some
of the biggest people in the country are
IT. the market. whatever the meaning OF
the movements may be.
The conservative. commission brokers
are bewildered by such movements as
have occurred in the Pacifics and the
grangars, but they do not cease to advise
their customers not to NEEDLE in these
stocks, unless it is to sell short with big
capital, on the bulges. They see In the
very rapidity Of the advances the best of
reasons " hv such stocks should not be

bottom OF an advance of 10 points in two
days In Northern Pacific, eliminating an
advance OF 100 points or more than 200
per cent in seven months, there can be no
other end than very big slump and that
at an early date Ii is entirely probable
that Northern Pacific has seen its top
price for many years TO come, If not the
highest that It will ever see. There can
be no doubt that it is now selling for 80
per cent higher than there is any intrin-
sic reason for. Only the most inexne-
rienced of lambs and the most reckless

classes il is certain that the vast maiori-

their winnings
While nothing better than a guess can
be made in such a market as to how far
