STAGE COACH HELD UP,
Three Horsemen Rob the Passengers
on Lonely New York Road.

Three Horsemen Rob the Passengers
on a Lonely New York Road.
Middletown, N. Y, Oct. 1.-The
stage coach "Pioneer," which makes
daily trips between Warwick and
Goshen, was held up and robbed by
three masked horsemen late in the
afternoon.
The coach was bowling along the
road two miles from Florida, and at
a lonely spot on the road Clinton and
Horatio S. Wisner, who own the
coach, and were on it, saw three men
on horses suddenly emerge from the
dense woods which line the highway.
Clinton was driving. The robbers or
dered him to pull up his horses, which
he refused to do, and the highwaymen
opened fire with revolvers. None of
the shots took effect, but the shooting
had the effect of compelling the whip
to bring his horses to a stop.
While two of the highwaymen COW
cred the Wisner brothers with their
revolvers the third, using many
threats, compelled the passengers to
give up all their money and valuables.
After the robbery had been COM
pleted the robbers spurred up their
horses and escaped.

made all the trouble you need to for
Mr.. Raymer." ~
Jasper Grierson tilted his chair to
a more comfortable angle and
laughed; slow, gurgling laugh, that
spread from lip to eye and thence
abroad through his great frame till
he shook like a giant in mirth.
Good Lord, Madge, have you Just
got around to that?" he said, chuck
ling again. ''Why, I'd clean forgot
all about your share O. stock in that
deal, long ago; been buying it in on
my own account for I don't know
how long,"
I'm sorry you forgot. It's time to

"Oh, no; I guess not. It's business
now, and no social tea-fight of

She was tapping the toe of her
boot with her riding whip, and she
looked up suddenly.
"Does that mean that. you intend
going on till you have ruined him ?"
she asked.
I'm going to break him, and that
other fool friend of yours, if that's

flash of sullen lightning in her eyes,

Two Young White Men Hanged for
Murder in Florida.
Bronson, Fla, Oct. Theodore
Smith and Thomas G. Faircloth, young
white men who killed the aged Lewis
couple a month ago, were hanged
here during the day. Both men had
wonderful nerve. They had their
collins opened and inspected and com
mented on them. Faircloth remarked
that they were all righ- and both
men addressed the immense crowd
with clear and u1broken voices. Fair
cloth was baptized by Rev. J. 3.
Holley of Gainesville, in the box
which was to contain his coffin, in
Jail during the morning. Both pro-
fessed religion and said they were
ready to die.
The sons and daughters of Lewis
witnessed the execution.
Smith had a young wife and baby.
Faircloth was engaged to be married
and expressed desire to have the
ceremony performed preceding the ex-
ecution, but the sheriff would not per-
nit this to be done.

REMOVAL OF THE RESTRAINT
ON BANK RESERVES HAS a
TELLING EFFECT,
OTHER INFLUENCES ASSIST
MARKET Makes Sensational Recov.
cry From Generalization on Ac-
count Of Stringent Monetary condi-
tIons-Rumors of Anthracite Strike
Nearing an End and Decline in
Call Money Rates Strong Factors.

New York, Oct. 1.-The stock mar
ket, which closed utterly demoralized
as result of stringent monetary con-
dltlons and other unfavorable circu.n-
stances, made a sensational recovery
during the day. The chief causes for
the complete reversal were the
action of Secretary Shaw in remov-
ing the restraint on bank re.
serves, and persistent reports from
various quarters that the coal strike
had at last reached the point where
the negotiations for settlement were
actually under way. For this last
rumor there appeared to be little or
no foundation, according to the in
dividual and collective statements of
the leading operators made after the
regular weekly meeting.
Another influence for better prices
was the decline in call money rates.
though during the morning loans were
made as high as 19 per cent. A large
part of the days loans were made at
around 10 per cent, and the rate at
the close went down 70 per cent, but
this was really nominal, no money
being placed at that figure.
Opening PRIZES were better all the
way from fraction to five points.
Wide operations in which blocks OF
1000, 5000 and 5000 shares changed
hands, were numerous. The greatest
gains were in the standard railway
shares, notably St. Paul, Louisville
and Nashville (Which bore the brunt
OF the previous days pounding), Mis-
souri, Pacific, Union Pacific, the coal
ers and number of specialties.
Bull Faction in Control.
On the floor of the stock exchange
the greatest excitement and activity
prevailed during the first hour. Brok-
ers on the short side were covering
with all possible speed, and the bull
faction was in absolute control. The
list manifested a vaci.lating tendency
soon after the first bulge, and many
of the active stocks, whose initial
gains had been largest, receded from
1 to 3 points.
The opening rate for call money
was II per cent, but soon advanced to
18, creating general confusion among
those committed to higher prices.
The most sensational operations de-
veloped in the afternoon on news
from Washington that the president
and his cabinet had taken steps to
terminate the coal strike. In spite
of the absence of any confirmation the
market seized upon this announce
ment, and with the coal stocks in the
lead the entire list shot upward. The
market developed a buoyant tone in
the last hour, though operations were
confined largely to the coalers, Which
were heavily traded in and closed at
practically best prices of the day The
days operations were in excess of L.
100000 shares.
Secretary Shaw's visit to the street
and his talks with the leading bank
ing interests helped in no small meas
tire to restore confidence. Local
hanks loaned moderately.

but it went out suddenly as if at the
bidding of will stronger than any
up-fash of passion.
''Please!" she said, beseechingly.
"Please what?'
"Please ruin somebody else, and let

$50 you're caught at last, are you,
my lady? I wondered if you would

hook in your mouth. But you may as
well pull loose, even if it hurts a lit
tie. These two fellows have got. to
come under. They've declared war,
and by-they shall have war;
She looked across at him steadily,
and the glow of rising passion came
and went in her eyes. And yet she
spoke softly.
THAT is your last word, is it?''
'You can call it anything you like.
I'm not on the quitting hand just
now. I've shut 'em down, and they're
going to stay shut down till their
plant is a worthless rust heap
''Then it is true what they are say
ing: that you are responsible for this
striker"
Jasper Grierson wagged his head,
as one who knows a thing and will
not admit it in so many words

Answer me; is it true?'
ooh, you go off and don't bother

I'll run mine."
'"Then it is true?" she persisted.
'What if it is?-mind, I'm not adj
hitting it, but 1 say, what if it is %
She slipped down from her perch in
the window seat, crossed the room
and stood before him, with her hands
behind her gripping the riding whip.
"You have had pretty good luck
here in Wahaska, haven't you" she
said, still speaking softly. 1T has
been sort of triumph for you from
the very first, and nobody has been
able to stand against you or to out
wit you. All that is going to be
changed now
"Why, Madge, girl, what do you
mean?"
II mean to give you your choice.
You can make your peace with Mr..
Raymer, Or"
"Or what?"
''Or shall go over to the enemy.
You haven't found anvhodv in this
little onehorse town who can match

"Why, good Lord, Madge, daugh-

saying!"

do it,"

II say you won't. You can't tarn

"Can't I? I'll give you till to-mor-
row to think about it. If by to-mor-
row night nothing has been done to
help the iron works people out of
their trouble I shall know what. to
do, and you must take the conse-
quences."
bah! You can't do anything"
"You have had your warming" she
said, and with that she snapped the
catch of the night latch and was
gone.

Weidenfeld in the case of Peter Power
against the Northern Pacific Railway
company Judge Amidon of the United
States district court in his decision
handed down during the afternoon,
took away whatever of aid and COM
fort that action might have given
Weidenfeld by dismissing both the
original bill and the bill in interven-

Securities company should have been
made a party to the action and that
neither Power nor Weidenfeld were
in a position to demand decree up
on the merits of the case.
Immediately Mr.. Boutelle requested
that the court be appraised that the
attorneys for the plaintiff desired an
appeal. His request was granted.

There Is wide difference between

world who are not governed by re-

majority Of It's citizens are church

ought not to be permitted in places

FRUIT on ALKALINE SOIL

There is large area OF country west
of the Jordan river which is still un-
cultivated, and is apparently incapable
Of producing vegetation with any de-
tIee OF profit. Attempts have been made
IN many spots to raise crops but they
have been largely failure. In a num-
Der Of Instances they have been given

places where success has attended the
labor OF the husbandman. and COM
Portable homes, surrounded by green
fields and pleasant foliage testify TO
the possibility OF overcoming the diff
oilties raised by alkaline soil and
apparent sterlllty
For the announcement OF people who
have land in that region or who have
opportunities Of acquiring IT, we will
state that We have seen some splendid
H,mples Of fruit, raised on patch OF
ground at Eldorado on "the other side
of Jordan" which was once a barren
and forblddlng spot whitened with
saleratus and apparently worthless for
cultivation. Now It is occupied with
splendid orchard. which IL picture

usually pursued In attempts to make

What Is called new plan for a diri-

by one NJ. Torres. Recognizing that the
chief difficulty now lies In the defective
stability Of the balloon, he proposes to
place the propeller at the rear Of the
balloon itself. This he will do by means
OF a rigid interior keel 20 which the
suspended cords are attached. The aize

other improvements, He divides his
balloon into several compartments, the

combustion are carried clear OF the bal
