SYSTEM OF LINES.
BOOM IN STOCK YESTERDAY
UNUSUAL STRENGTH OF SHARES
CAUSED MUCH TALK.

August Belmont, Samuel Spencer and
John w. Gates All Conferred with
Representatives of Morgan d Co.
Believed Now That Morgan & Co.,
Who Already Have 10000 Shares
of l.. &c N, Acquired ut 1870, Have
Agreed to Take Gates 200, 1000
Shares at 150-Sharp Rises Also
shown by Illinois. Hooking Valley
and Nashville and Chattanooga.
New York, Aug. THE unusual
strength and activity of Louisville and
Nashville shares to-day gave rise to
a variety or rumors, the substance of
which was that the trouble which grew
out of the attempt to corner the stock
last spring had been settled in a way
satisfactory to all concerned. These
rumors were confirmed in part by per-
sons in authority. but nothing like a
definite statement on the subject was
obtainable.
August Belmont, chairman of the
Louisville and Nashville road, and
Samuel Spencer, president of the South
Gill INdllWdy3 Will SSSH-
tatives of j. P. Morgan & Co., during
the day, and the return to town of
John w. Gates, coupled with his pro-
tracted visit to Morgan & Co.'S Office,
were regarded as of more than pass
ing Importance. The story most per-
sistently circulated was that Morgan
& Co., who are believed to
hold 100000 shares of Louisville and
Nashville. for which they paid
about 1870 according to report. have
agreed to buy the Harris-Gates hold
ings, estimated at something like 200,-
900 shares, for $50.
Questioned on this point a member
of the Morgan firm said:
1--WE are not in a position to say
anything about Louisville and Nash
willie, but there are no differences and
there will be none"
Coincident with the movement in the
Louisville and Nashville was the sharp
rise in Illinois Central, Hooking Valley
issues and Nashville and Chattanooga.
So far as surface indications went
nothing developed to connect the
movement in these stocks with the re-
ported settlement in Louisville and
Nashville.

CASINO AND BAND TROUBLE.
Unsettled Despite Fact of Confer

Unsettled Despite Fact of Confer
ence of Managers.
The trouble between Lessee L. w.
Nelson of the Thunderbolt Casino and
the members of the First Regiment
Band is still unsettled. The Disagree
ment was brought about, it will be
remembered, by the action of the band,
which, without any notice to Mr.. Nell
son, simply failed to show up to play
for Tuesday nights performance.
Since that time Mr.. Nelson has en-
ployed an orchestra composed of nu-
cisians not connected with the band
and such members of the band as he
cared to use. He says he has had no
trouble in getting all the players he
wants, and anticipates no trouble in
the future. The question to be con-
sidered now, Mr.. Nelson states, has
nothing to do with getting music for
the Casino, but whether or not the
First Regiment Band will continue to
exist.
Mr.. Nelson and Mr.. E. A. Massart,
manager of the band, held a confer
ence yesterday afternoon, but moth
ing definite was done. Another meet
ing between these gentlemen will take
place this afternoon, when some I'M
derstanding may be reached.

OBITUARY.


Mrs. c. L. Myers died in Savannah
yesterday morning after an illness of
some weeks. For about two years she
had been a sufferer from Bright's dis
ease. Mrs. Myers was the wife of the
general manager of the PeninsuIar and
Occidental Steamship Company. with
Office at Jacksonville. He was not to
be found at that place. and informa-
ton of the death of Mrs. Myers is yet to
reach him. 1t is probable that the re-
mains will be sent to Jacksonville or to
the North, where Mrs. Myers formerly
lived, for interment. She had number
of friends in Savannah, where Mr..
Myers was located until few years
ago as superintendent of this division
of the Southern Express Company.

SIXTEEN KILLED IN MINE.
Deadly Gas Explosion Near Trinidad,

Deadly Gas Explosion Near Trinidad,
Col, Inst Night-AII Are Americans
and Irish.
Trinidad, Col, Aug. 7.-Sixteen men
are known to have been killed and
some others are reported missing as
the result of an explosion of gas in
one of the mines of the Union Coke
and Coal Company at Bowen, six miles
from here, at o'clock tonight. The
work of rescuing the bodies was be-
gun at once and four had been taken
out at 10 o'clock. No names are OBJ
tainable at this time. The mine en-
ploys about sixty men. They are all
Americans and Irish. no Mexicans or
Italians being employed. Most of the
dead men are said to be married. Only
meagre details have been received
here.
Was Caused by Fire Damp.
Pueblo, Col. Aug. IA special to the
Chleftain from Trinidad says:
The mine is worked by the Union
Coal Company of Denver. 1t is a slope
mine, situated on the mountain side
and about 400 yards from the tipple be-
low. The explosion occurred about
500 feet from the mouth of
the slope and was caused by
fire damp. Immediately after the night
shift had started in the slope a start
ling explosion occurred, entirely filling
the mouth of the slope, and shaking
buildings and breaking windows a mile
distant.
The mine is filled with gas and
smoke, and the rescuers are afraid of
after-damp and are unable to stay in
the mine more than short time.
Mothers, wives and children of the
dead and imprisoned miners are al
most crazed with grief and the scene
presented at the mouth of the mine is
a. most pathetic one.
The powder house in the mine, usu-
ally containing 1000 pounds of powder,
blew up. and 1t is this which caused
so great a disaster. The general be-
lief is that the entire mine has been
ruined, and if not it will take months
to get it in working order again.

DISCUSSED BOILER MAKING.
Mr.. Rourke Back From the Atlantic
City Convention.


Mr.. John Rourke has. just returned
from New York, where he went after
the meeting of the Manufacturers of
Boilers of the United States and Can
ada at Atlantic City two weeks ago.
Mr.. Rourke said the meeting was the
largest and most important that the
association has ever held. Represen-
tative boiler manufactures from all
parts of the United States and Canada
were present.
Gen. James A. Dumont, supervising
inspector general of the steam vessel
inspection service, and Rear Admiral
Andrade of the navy. appeared before
the meeting. Gen. Dumont gave the
boilermakers a good deal of informa-
ton as to the marine boilers, and Ad-
miral Andrade reviewed the work of
boiler construction for the navy Mr..
Rourke said that the information from
the talks of Gen. Dumont and Admiral
Andrade was of particular value to
the association.
All of the improved methods of boil
er construction were discussed and
showed the great advance that has
been made during the last few years.
The association was in session three
days and closed with a banquet. The
next meeting VIII be held at Chatta-
nooga in October, 1903.

All ON Account of a Ring.

Two men were arrested yesterday
under warrants sworn out In Justice
wickham's court charging them with
cheating and swindling. The warrants
were sworn out by May Won Camp, a
resident Of the tenderloin, who swears
that the men conspired to defraud her.
one of them induced the woman to
take ring out of pawn for him. show
ing her the ticket for the ring, which
he represented was worth $500. The wo-
man took the ring out. but was thun-
ierstruck to find that 1t was a gem of
little value. She had paid $40 for
ring that was scarcely worth $50. The
young man denies his guilt and has
asked for a preliminary hearing before
Justice Wickham.
