s. THE WEEK IN STOCKS.
Prices Were Affected by the Advance
in Money Rates.

New York, Sept. 13.-A summary Of
the weeks events in the stock market
must include the advanced st. Paul
common dividend to ger cent, the rise
in call money which ranged from 81
per cent to 20 per cent, and a continued
drain on local financial resources which
excited grave apprehension in many
quarters. The week opened with re-
sumption of bullish strength and activ-
ityand these conditions held for the next
three days notwithstanding many I'M
dications of the sharp rise in money,
The lack OF definite news regarding the
coal strike situation was at first re-
garded as of no importance. but later
caused uneasiness In conservative cir
cles. Crop reports, especially those
bearing on corn and cotton, were less
satisfactory and while railroad traffic
returns generally showed increases
these were offset In a. great measure
by increased operations, which really
reduced net earnings to an insignificant
figure in some instances. In general the
list compares favorably with closing fig
ures of last week The failure of st
Paul to respond to the increased divi-
dend was not nGde clear on any ground
other than that insiders had discounted
the action of the directors. Practically
the same explanation applies to the Bal
timore & Ohio, the directors of which
have. authorized an extra stock issue

sterling exchange has not resulted in
the expected large gold imports, only

NIGHTDRESS IN COURT.
Indianapolis Judge Compels Two Wo-
men to Appear in Garment.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 13.-Two wo-
men were compelled to try on a night
dress in the police court this morning
during the trial of one of them on a
charge of stealing the garment Mrs.
Mary Lyons alleged it was taken from
her apartments in the Mclean Place
flats, a stylish North side residence
building. She had caused the arrest OF
Mrs. James Hamilton. who had once
resided in the same flats.
Each woman was SO positive in her
declaration of ownership that Oran
Muir, acting judge of the court, was at
a loss to know how to- decide the case.
Finally he declared that, as the women
were not of the same build. it might
assist him to reach a conclusion by see
ing the gown on each of them.
The protests OF Mrs. Lyons attorneys
were of no avaN. and their client was
compelled to retire to waiting room
and don the gown. Although she wore
her street dress beneath the gown, Mrs.
Lyons appeared to be greatly embar-
raised.
Mrs. Hamilton was next required to
try on the garment. 1t appeared too
large for her. but fitted Mrs. Lyons
closely. The judge fined Mrs. Hamilton
and committed her to Jail.

AN ACRE OF FIRE.
Spindle Top Heights Still a
Mass of Flames.

New Orleans. Sept. ia special to
the Picayune from Beaumont. Tex, at
l a. m. says:
One acre of Spindle Top heights in
the great Beaumont oil field, is a mass
of flames and sitting smoke. At this
hour the fire was at a standstill. 1t is
under control SO long as the wind con-
tinues from the northeast, tanning the
flames away from the hill. Thirty-fye
or forty derricks have been RACED to the
ground in the Keith Ward tract. Across
the avenue the mammoth 37,500-barrel
tank of the Higgins people is on fire
but the oil is being drawn from the
bottom and packed away, which will
eventually starve out the fire The
great Texas Flora gusher is ablaze,
sending flames 80 feet. The Wood well
is on fire. Several smaller tanks are
burning. it being impossible to tell just
how many. What the total loss will be
is only conjectured. Some place it at
$250,O00, while others think it will be
greater. The actual destruction of ma
chinery will be enormous The Higgins
heaviest losers Keith Ward are also
heavy sufferers. Two wells of the Beck
Sharp concern have been burned
Among other losers are Major Streb-
ling, the Flora Texas Oil company,
Brice and Park. the Horse Shoe Oil
company, A B. Wood of Galveston, and
Mr.. Godell.
The burning field is under the COM

man for years in charge of their interests
at Corsicana. Judge Martin of the dis
triet court officially placed Cullinan in
charge and to all intents and purposes
martial law is reigning on Spindle Top.
Mr.. Cullinan has mustered 500 men to
his aid. They have 100 steam boilers at
their service and streams of steam will
be applied today. The experience with
the burning Jennings gusher Will prove
of great service here.
The fire fighters have been able to ad-
vance to within $50 feet of the burning
structures.
