POLICE OFFICER
Strikes II Rich in the Beaumont Oil
Field.

New Orleans, La, April 19.-Patrol-
man Clarence Routh of the New Or
leans force, last night applied to the
Board of Police Commissioners for and
secured a sixty-day leave of absence.
The officer is the possessor of more
than 100 acres of oil land eight miles
south of Beaumont, Texas. in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the great gushers,
and is about to go into the oil business
on gigantic scale, although he has no
intention of retiring from the New Or
leans police force at present.
'The saying that there's millions in
it, is severely impressed on Patrolman
Routh's mind when it comes to a pro-
position of oil, for yesterday he was Of
fered a munificent sum for his Texas
holding. He has had several offers
for his oil lands, but yesterdays offer
of $1,5Oo,000 and big interest in n
concern capitalized at $4,000, 900 top
ped them all.
The person making the offer was the
representative of New York syndi
cate. Patrolman Routh's holdings in
Texas are as large as any individual
property holder in thevicinity of Beau
mont, and he has refused several big
offers for an interest in them. The
last offer is by far the best he has
yet received, and he will consider it
seriously when he reaches the oil fields
next week

New York, April 19.-Today's stock
market was the most remarkable dur
ing the present speculative era. Not
only in the aggregate sales, which
reached 2,1S3,900 shares, but in the
wide distribution and variety of th2
trading, the amount and number of the
gains recorded, the record prices
touched, the Wilderness of the general
outside interest manifested in the
market, and from almost any point OF
view, the market was entirely with.
out precent in the history of Wall
street.
There was steady and persistent
uplift of prices, which was irresistible.
Occasional profit taking was locked up
with hardly more than a momentary
influence on prices.
The most active and buoyant stocks
surged upward again at the last, clos
ing in buoyant and spectacular out
burst. In the last five minutes of trad
ing the tape recorded each transaction,
as 5000 shares of Pennsylvania at 100
while in Union Pacific there was a
string of transactions of 5000 shares at
99T, 5000 shares at 100, 5000 shares at
99B, 800 at land a finile block of 10,
900 shares at 100 at the top price of the
day and in the history of the stock.
These transactions were exceptional,
but there were blocks of 1000 to 5000
shares of large number of the most
active stocks changing hands all day.
There were few specific influences to
be detected in the trading. In large
number of stocks there was not an at
tempt to assign motive for the large
buying, which was palpably based or
the all embracing expectation that the
price of stock would go up because
others had done so.
A very sharp contrast to the general
movement of the market was the heav-
mess of the United States Steel stocks
the preferred falling at one time near
ly point below last night. This was
partly accounted for by the circulation
of rumor that j. P. Morgan was suf-
fering from heart trouble, but the
stocks did not recover with the au-
thoritative information that Morgan
was in good health. This rumor help
ed to account also for the midday dip
in the market, which was effectually
overcome.
Business in bonds was also very ac-
tive and generally strong. U. S. re-
funding rs declined B and 3s n per
cent.

A Terrible Crime.
By Associated Press. .

Salem, o., April 1S.-This morning
shortly after daylight, as Andrew Mil
Ter, farmer near Bayard, entered his
stable to feed his horses, he was shot
by Chester Staub, whose home is in
Canton, Staub secreted himself and ii
is supposed that he intended to rob the
farmer, who is believed to have con-
siderable money in his house.
Three balls from Staub's revolver
took effect in Miller's body, one pass
ing through the lung. After an excit-
ing chase, lasting several hours, with
bloodhounds, Sheriff Nohagan, of Lis

Miller cannot recover. Staub was
taken to the Lisbon Jail. Miller's farm
adjoins the farm owned by President
Mckinley in Columbiana county.

swindle with an endless chain feature

PECULIAR CASE
Of Trance is Presented by a Lucas County
Farmer.

lOlGuU, W., Aplll lCdCuCu
here this evening through relatives and
railroad men of the peculiar condition
of James Horan, farmer, aged 60,
who resides on farm near Kingsway,
small station on the Wheeling and
Lake Erie Railroad, about % miles east
of here. Horan, according to the ac-
counts given, has been in trance ever
since Tuesday evening at o'clock.
His case battles the best of physicians
of the vicinity, who have taken oppo
site views, some claiming that the man
is dead, while others as positively as
sert that Horan is still alive. The
friends and neighbors are equally di-
vided in their opinions, and none are
able to reach any satisfactory conclu-
sion.
1t appears that on last Tuesday eve
ming Horan, who lives with his daugh-
ter, sent her to a neighbor's house.
When she returned few minutes later
she found her father on the floor. he
having fallen from the chair in which
he was seated at the table. The daugh-
ter tried to arouse him, but failing to
do so, decided he was dead and has
tily summoned neighbors. Renewed
efforts were made by all present to ar
ouse him, but all to no purpose, and he
was finally given up for dead. ABOUT
an hour afterward, while those present
were discussing his death, they were
startled to see Horan arouse himself
from the bed on which he was placed.
He took a survey Of his surroundings,
uttered few words, which those pres
ent could not make out, and then fell
back again into his former state.
Before this physician had reached
the house, and after working over
Horan, had pronounced him dead. At
ter the man had lapsed back again in
to his peculiar condition the physician
and all present made further attempts
to arouse him, but without avail. At
ter working over him for a couple of
hours more the physician left for
home, saying that he could do no more,
but tat he had his doubts about the
man being dead. In the course of
three or four hours after the doctor left
Horan again aroused from his trance,
looked around. said a few words and
fell back into his former condition.
Physicians were again summoned but
their efforts to arouse him were un-
availing.
Since Horan went into the trance he
has aroused himself four times. but al
ways when no physicians were present,
except on the first occasion. when his
coming to startled all present so that
they did not have presence of mind to
act before the relapse came. Some of
the doctors think the man is still liv-
ing, and that he will eventually come
out all right if his lethargic condition
does not last long enough to starve him.
Two of the physicians say they can
perceive faint heart beats. but he re-
fuses to arouse in response to the most
stringent methods. The daughter and
some relatives have given him up for
dead, but some of the physicians and
friends hold out hopes and declare he
is still alive. Horan had enjoyed the
best of health all his life up to the time
of the attack Tuesday evening.

"The Prisoner Of Zenda," play
that has been the success of two contl-
nents for a few years, is one of the
stellar attractions booked here for the
coming season. The play has been
one of the biggest successes ever pre-
sented in this country, and judging
from the box office reports it is as at
tractive as ever. Its great charm lies
in the fact that In the midst of modern
times and surroundings Is evolved an
atmosphere OF romance that would do
credit to the pen Of Dumas.
