tance that indicated Enthusiastically the
presence of buying orders b. large inter

advances. and many OF the indEstrials
shared in the gains handsomely. This
was very much what had been expected
after the market Of last Wednesday,
which seemed to indicate very clearly
that the insiders were buying stocks in
the expectation Of an advance The sen
timent in Wall Street is more hopeful
than it has been at any time before since
the panic. 1t is said now that a rally

The Southern Railway securities were
both strong. the common especially, max
ing a sharp advance that attracted the
attention Of the Street generally. There
has been q good Feeling toward the
Southern stocks at all times among con-
seTvative people, owing to the fine out
look for the company Before the panic
it was said by those near to the manage

stock was TO have a bulge and stories Of
the big plans Of the company for the alb
sorption Of other railways IN the South
were heard. The panic for a time damp
ened all this arfor and it was feared that
the whole Southern Railway scheme OF
consolidation might have been postponed
indefinitely. Now, however. it is wills
pered that the plan has been revived and
that much higher prices both for the

securities this morning was Atchison,
common stock. which early in the day
advanced TO the highest price vet reached
by it. s. and a fraction. It did not sell az

strong above par value Continued Cos

Vanderbilt interests was heard. but no Of

suggestion regarding the strength Of the

MALTREATED BY THIEVES.
An Aged Couple Tortured Near Bra

GREENSBURG, Pa. May 1L-William
Jackson, an aged and wealthy farmer,
and his wife, who live on the mountain
range above Bradenviile, are in critical
condition as the result of a shocking out
rage perpetrated by four masked men,
who entered their home last night and
beat them tortured them with knives and
gagged them in an effort to force the old
couple to tell where their money was
secreted.
Mr.. Jackson refused to reveal the hiding
place where he kept his cash and he was
seized by two of the men and subjected
to brutal treatment. He was pounded
over the head with a poker and slashed
with knives until he fell exhausted 10 the
floor.
Mrs. Jackson was then dragged from
her bed. In the face of what, TO the
trembling woman, seemed certain death
she, too refused to tell where their
money was kept. The muzzle of a revolt
yer pointed in her face and the clashing
of knives at her throat had no effect, for
the woman, believing that the ruffans had
killed her husband, resolved to die at their
hands rather than tell the secret kept to
the last by Jackson. She was terribly
bruised and then cast down beside her
PROSTATE husband.
The aged couple were found this morn
ing by neighbors. Excited citizens are
hunting for the perpetrators of the crime

A FATAL TUNNEL ACCIDENT.
One Killed, Two Injured, by Fall of
n Bucket in New York.

NEW YORK, May HIN an accident at
the loop of the Rapid Transit Tunnel in
City Hall Park at 7:40 a m today one
man was hurt so seriously that he died
half an hour later, and two others were
injured. The man killed was Thomas Ly-
ons, thirty-five years old. a rgger, adj
dress unknown; died in Hudson Street
Hospital The injured are: Antonio Fen
nelli, twenty-five years old; John Nc
CURE, twenty-seven years old.
The accident occurred when people were
passing in throngs TO business. Laborers
in the trench, thirty feet frcm the sur
face, had filled q large steel bucket, low
cred to them by means of a boom and
derrick. This derrick is manipulated by
a small engine placed about a dozen feet
from the excavation. The boom which
swings the steel bucket back and forth
from the trench to the waiting carts is
of heavy plank about fifteen inches in
diameter. Suspended from this swinging
boom is the ateel bucket, which. when
filed, carries enough earth to fill single
cart. The bucket was being hoisted from
the excavation and was suspended in the
air preparatory to being swung over the
cart Suddenly the fiange at the top of
the upright boom, which controlled the
swinging boom, gave way. This allowed
the swinging boom and the steel bucket
filled with moist earth to fall TO the ex-
cavation The bucket struck the sup
porting heavy beams and fell between
them to the bottom of the tunnel me
boom fell on the beams, but no further.
Lyons was directly beneath the bucket,
and il struck him on the head, knocking
him to the ground Fennell was stand
ing by. Lyons, and the beam gave him
CHANGING blow in the side, knocking him
down, but not seriously injuring him.
Mcclure was also knocked down.
