Attired in sailors custom Of white
and blue canvas which set off her figure
to the very best advantage, Theresa Nc
Dougall, the acknowledged leader of a
large band of thieves, was arrested by
Deput. Talyerds. of Rochester \. T.,
and his assistants. For some weeks
complaints have been coming in to the
Sheriff of the depredations committed by
this band Of tramps in the vicinity Of
Chill, n. Y, but it seemed almost inn
possible to locate the rendezvous of the
band. The other night the Sheriff got a
clew which led him to an abandoned farm
house on Block Greek. where he surpris-
ed the captain and her lieutenant, w. ii.
Smith, both of whom were taken into
custody. The leader was known 10 her
band as Jimmie McDougan," and that
is the name she gave to the officers.
After spending several hours in cell
she broke down and sending for the
matron she confessed that she was a
woman. After being properly clothed in
garments of her sex the girl told her
story. She said her maiden name was
Theresa McDougall. and that she was Il
years old Sht was formerly an actress
on the variety stage in Cleveland, her
home. Several years ago she quit the
stage and married Max Denhart, stage
carpenter. The girl said her husband
abused her aud she, becoming tired OF liv-
ing that life. resolved to run away. She
had no money, so adopted the dress of
man in order to rough it in her travels
without exciting suspicion. She left
Cleveland over ten months ago, accom-
panied by w. Fl. Smith, the two beating
their way on freight trains as far as
Rochester. where they encountered the
others that went toward making up the
band Of which she was the captain.

SHIP sFNT TO BOTTOM.
City of Venice Struck by Seguin and
Three of Crew Dro 9ned.


The steamer City OF Venice was struck
and sent to the bottom of Lake Erie in
fifteen minutes by the Canadian steamer
Sequin off Point Rondeau at / o'clock
Tuesday morning. Three of the Venice's
crew went down with their ship. The
lost steamer was bound down Lake Erie
from Lake Superior with cargo Of $500
tons Of iron ore and was on the Buffalo
course when she met the Canadian boat
Many of the passengers of the Inflated
ship jumped overheard in the panic fol-
Lowing the collision. but were saved. The
loss will be one Of the most serious of
the year to the marine insurance compa-
naies, as the Venice was valued at $780,
600, and insured for nearly that amount.
The Wilson, lost off Duluth, was of high
err value, but was not insured. The Ven
Ice was owned by the MeGraw Transpor-
tstion Company of Bay City, of which
Thomas Cranage is the head. She came
out in 1892 and measured 2.10T tons Her
dimensions were: Length. 301 feet; keel
and beam, AZ feet The Sequin is small
steel steamer of S2S tons. The City Of
Venice went down in very deep water
less than fifteen minutes after the col
lision. After standing by for an hour
the Seguin headed for Cleveland with the
survivors. The cause Of the collision is
not known. There was no fog and the
night was fairly clear. The lights Of
the City of Venice were burning brightly.

Man Who Feigned Sleep Robbed by
Two Ruffians in Denver.

Two Ruffians in Denver.
Because they were caught while dis
cussing plan OF kidnapping the youngest
daughter of James A. McClurg. grand
daughter of David H. Moffatt, president
of the First National Bank, two highway
men assaulted and then robbed NJ. j.
Reilly. stationary engineer and black
smith. in City Park, Denver. relieving
him of 500 in cash, a gold watch and
chain and diamond stickpin. While
Reilly was lying behind bench he heard
two men, roughly dressed. in CONVERSE
ton. It's cinch," said the tall man. as
the two sat down. I'VE can kidnap the
child and no one will suspect. Our for
tune is made il we succeed in getting the
girl. as McClurg is a son-in-law of Mof-
fatt. and the old man thinks so much OF
his little grandchild that he will pay any
sum to get her back again safe and sound.
Reilly says that, fearing for his life, he
feisned sleep and listened TO hear the de-
tails of the plot When the men found
him awake they assaulted him. He claims
they intended to take the child to No. 500
Of street the name of which he could not
catch. The police believe the story and
special guards are watching the child.

10y better than last week, in
that the generally favorable conditions
are maintained. while the crops are a
step nearer maturity.
Heavy shipments of wool and cattle are
giving the Western railroads enormous
earnings 1t looks now as if these roads
will maintain their good showings on
present tonnages, and break all records
after the crop movement gets under way.
The Northwest holds to a good volume
of trade in the leading jobbing and manu-
featuring lines. The Minneapolis -four
trade. while not as heavy as could be
wished, showed improvement over the
several weeks preceding. In lumber there
is talk of further price advances. Wool
is steady at a level several cents above
prices at this time last year.
In the grain trade there is a feeling of
satisfaction over the closing of the July
option. Every prominent grain market
had its tightening up in July, and with
the lghtest supplies for years in wheat,
corn and oats there was opportunity for
price manipulation to the close With the
nervous hesitation naturally attendant
upon market conditions in some degree
artificial. now gone, the g..,in markets
will be on a basis where normal influ-
ences will be given more weight. As
was quite to be expected, whea' prices
declined This in response to the ex-
tremely favorable spring wheat reports.
Let anything of danger to the Northwest
crop arise. and the sharpest price reac-
tons may be expected.

I--D news is encouraging Man
ufacturing plants are well occupied as a
rule. iron and steel leading. followed by
textiles and footwear Fuel scarcity Is
still causing delay. although coke ovens
are SURPRISING all previous figures of out
put, and bituminous mines are vigorous
~ operated. At most points retail trade
IS active and preparations continue for
heavy fall sales, while spring lines sre
opened with good results. Railway earn
ings thus far available for July show a
gain of 3.3 per cent over 1901 and 20 8
per cent over 1900.
K. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade gives the foregoing summary of
he investigation. Continuing. the re-
view says:
1 With business in sight for at least
year, the leading departments of the iron
and steel industry may properly be con-
Sidered prosperous. Notwithstanding the
rapid iretease in producing capacity. con-
sumptive demand has grown still faster,
and tfH recent official report of a new
high record of pig iron production at g.
S0S.574 tons for the first half Of 1902
is accompanied by the statement that I'M
sold stocks at the end of that period were
only 29,S61 tons. compared with 3T2,560
tons year previously. The first month
Of the second half of 1902 has brought
no diminution in inquiries, but some de-
crease in output owing to scarcity of fuel.
Imports are very large in order to keep
the steel mills provided with material
and offerings of foreign billets have
checked the upward tendency of prices.
OF engines, machinery and heavy hard
ware there is serious shortage, orders
for delivery in 1902 being out of the ques-
ton. Steel rails and structural material
contracts have been booked far ahead
In textile manufacturing the feature
was the opening of mems wear worsted
fabrics for next year with a general ad
vance of 2112 to 10 per cent. Cotton goods
tend in favor of the purchasers owing
to the prospects of large cotton crop
and the light export movement.
Shoe shops are active on spring sam
pies, and buyers are numerous in the
Boston market. A very striking advance
in leather this week has followed the up
ward movement of hides, stimulated by
heavy purchases, a single sale of 100000
sides of hemock sole being reported.
Hides have made further sensational adj
vaEces. Colorado steers reaching new
high record prices.
Grain prices declined sharply as the
month of speculative manipulation drew
to a close and legitimate trading resum-
ed a more normal volume. Cotton held
fairly steady, more because of the large
short interest than the floods in Texas.
Thus far it as probable that rains have
done more good than harm. Demands
for consumption contiue liberal. Meats
have also shown a tendency to seek
slightly lower quotations, but light re-
ceipts and higher quality do not promise
ture

dangerous height Sails were close reefed
and the party prepared to ride the storm.
The tide carried them out to sea and the
rain poured in torrents for over three
hours. At one time it looked at II the
boat would be swamped. but it rode the
storm out in safety. The fishermen were
many miles from Atlantic City when the
storm passed over and were obliged to

MANY SHIPS TO BE BUILT.
Yards on the Lakes Are Engaged for

1t is expected that Sl0,OOo,00O worth Of
steel steamships will be built on the
American side of the great lakes for ser
vice in 1908. Twenty-four freight ships
are under contract and every berth at the
lake yards is filled for the entire winter.
No more can be taken TO be done before
late in the summer of 1908. As for two
or three years past the new construction
is by individuals and the iron ore and
steel making companies that have large
