PRICES SETTLING FIRM
FEATURE OF THE GENERAL DRY
GOODS AND PRODUCE MARKETS.
Grain slow But Strong-ShOrtage of
Hogs and Increase OF Cattle I'm
Past Eight Months.

With the coming Of September trade Is
setting in in several lines which is very
gratifying. More especially are the dry
goods houses. the milliners, the boot and
shoe merchants, leather dealers and prod
uce men benefited, sand firm prices are the
feature in most lines, dry goods, drugs,
provisions and produce all being In strong
tone. Provisions are active movers. and
prices rule steady and firm, as has been
the case for several weeks The scarcity
of hogs is one reason. In the first eight
months of this year the Indianapolis stock
yards have handled 1852 fewer hogs than
the corresponding eight months last year,
while they handled 1882 more cattle than
in the first eight months of 1901. On Com
mission row there is an ample supply or
fruits, and vegetables are selling at low
figures as compared with two months ago.
Fall trade in this line bids fair TO improve
from now on, as homegrown stuff Is not
so plentiful. Prices rule much the same as
for some days past. Jersey sweet potatoes
are lower, and Irish potatoes weak at quo
tations. Some Of the finest watermelons of
the season are now offered, and receipts OF
canteloupes are ample to supply the de-
mand. With the exception of canned goods
every line of groceries Is showing a good
volume of business. Grocers are laying in
small supplies of canned goods. the trade
being quite dull, no line enjoying special

UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE FATE OF
THE LINE ACQUIRED By HOOLEY.
Most of the stock of the Pennsylvania
Now Held mt Home-Grand Trunk
Does Not Want Glover Leaf.

The fate Of the Evansville & Terre Haute
Railroad is still undecided. Control of the
road was transferred some months ago
to E. s. Hooley and his friends, and Mr..
Hooley was elected president. One Of the
first acts was to declare a dividend OF
per cent. on the common stock, but 1t is
stated that as soon as the new manage
ment discovered the financial condition of
the property the dividend was reconsidered
and has not yet been declared. On the
announcement of withdrawal of the divi-
dend the stock broke badly, dropping in
a few days Is points, but it has gradually
advanced since. with some periods of ac-
tivity. The relations between the Evans
vile e. Terre Haute and the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois have been close. and had
the Louisville & Nashville taken the Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois as its Chicago line
instead of the Monon, doubtless the own
ers of the Evansville & Terre Haute would
have realized a handsome profit on their
in the deal The Evansville & Terre Haute
would be of little value to the St. Louis &
San Francisco, which now owns the Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois. The Evansville &
Terre Haute has excellent coal on it's line,
and IL reaches the northern markets over
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, and this
line of traffic will continue an important
feature. The Z. & T. II. will not suffer in
that direction. Doubtless the owners Of the
road had expected the time would come
when the Chicago q Eastern Illinois would
absorb 1t, but conditions are now such
that there is little probability of its do
Ing so.

HOGAN TRANSFER COMPANY'S NEW
BUILDING DAMAGED $1,000.
Clouds OF Smoke Impeded Work of
Ffremen and Blaze Looked On
inous for q Time.

fire Of unknown origin was discovered
building belonging to the Hogan Transfer
and Storage Company. and before 1t was
extinguished a loss, according to Captain
Newman. Of the Salvage Corps. of $1,000 re-
suited. Twenty-Five horses had a narrow
escape from being burned to death. The
building. located at Louisiana and Alabama
streets. was erected by the storage COM
pany to accommodate its increasing bust
ness. 1t is three-story brick and was
turned over to W. j. Hogan, proprietor,
one week ago. The company had not time
to move its storage from its houses on
West Georgia street, and that is one of the
reasons the loss was not appraised higher
The horses Of the company had been
stabbed in the new building, however Sew
eral valuable sets of harness were de-
stroyed.
The nightwatchman had just finished put
ting down hay to the horses and had
reached the first floor to turn on the water,
when he saw flames shooting from between
the bars in the hayrack. He tried to put
the fire out by throwing water on il, but
the inf1ammable hay soon caused the fire
TO spread. and in a short time the flames
had reached the large piles of hay above
stairs. The woodwork was also ignited,
and the whole building looked as though IL
was fire. The Waterman ran out and
turned in an alarm. The dense clouds of
smoke pouring from the building made il
difficult for the firemen to work. num-
Der of streams of water were turned
through the doors and windows. The in
terror of the place was soon flooded and
the fire was under control.
The fire, occurring as IL did, at o'clock.
proved n great inconvenience to many peo-
pie who lived on the South Side. The
street cars going out Virginia avenue or
coming to town were Obliged to stop on
either side of Louisiana street on account
of the hose stretched across the tracks.
Many people stood on the downtown COR
ners waiting for the cars.

MRS. PINKIE TAYLOR SUES
ESTIMATES THAT HUSBANDS AFFEC-
TONS ARE WORTH $4,000.
LueIla Walden Made Defendant I'm a
Sensational Suit-Other Cases
in the Courts.

Mrs. Pinkie Taylor estimates that the af-
fections of her husband and the loss of his
society and help are worth 10000, and she
filed suit yesterday against Luella Walden
for that amount of damages. alleging that
she is responsible for her home being
wrecked. Mrs. Taylor says in her COM
plant that she and Grant III. Taylor were
married on March Is, 1900, and they lived to-
gether until June Is. 1902. when he deserted
her to live with the defendant. Mrs. Tay-
lor further alleges that her husband would
stay away from home at nights with the
Walden woman until he finally deserted
her. She claims that one day last spring
the defendant sheltered Taylor and horse
belonging to DR.. Pink, the animal being
killed by lightning in the barn while Tay-
Tor was in the house with the Walden
woman.
Mrs. Taylor AYERS that the Walden wom-
an gradually won the affections of Taylor
and induced him to leave her, causing her
to become a charge upon her friends for
support and deprived her of his association,
affection and financial aid.

General Manager Hays, of the Grand
Trunk, while in Detroit on Wednesday,
completed arrangements for the purchase
of the Detroit & Toledo Shore-line by the
Grand Trunk. Mr.. Hays had conference
with w. B. Strang, who built the Detroit
& Toledo Shore-line. and F. w. Meddaugh.
counsel for the Grand Trunk. The Detroit
Tribune states that lat a recent meeting
in London the directors of the Grand Trunk
gave Mr.. Hays full authority to effect the
purchase.
This report that the Detroit & To-
ledo Shore-line one of the Everett Moore
electric traction properties, had been sold
to the Grand Trunk was confirmed
at Detroit yesterday through an au-
thoritative source. The Grand Trunk will
assume all outstanding indebtedness of the
Detroit & Toledo Shore-line, aggregatng
about 81, 100000. The equity of the Everett
Moore syndicate from the sale, Ii is stated,
will not exceed 500 900.
The line extends from Detroit to Toledo
on a private right of way 100 feet wide. The
company spared no expense in building the
line, using eighty-pound steel rail, heavy
steel bridges and permanent stone arch
cuiverts. The track is rock ballasted and
ready for steam traffic, though built for
trolley use. 1t was to have been an i'm
portant link in the lake border system
Everett had projected. Ii has forty miles
of double track airline road, having been
built for great speed.

TROUBLE IN "LITTLE ITALY"


Judge Stubs was occupied all yesterday
afternoon in Police Court listening to the
story of differences between Guy and Mrs.
Montani and Angelina Grocio and her hus-
band. Mrs Montani and Mrs Grocio were
arrested on the charge of assault and bat
terry two weeks ago. The case had been
postponed several times. 1t was said at yes
terdays trial that the Montanis had be-
come angered at the Grocio woman, who
came to this city years ago from a convent
in New York and married. Since her resi-
dence here she has not secured the good
will of the Italian colony. 1t was alleged
that those of the latter class have circu-
lated evil reports concerning the Grocio
woman. The evidence produced yesterday
tended to show that conspiracy had been
formed to rid Grocio of his wife. Judge
Stubs dismissed the case against the
Grocio woman. He said he would assess
fine against Mrs. Montani, but this would
be held In allegiance for several days. He
said If the Montanis would dismiss a suit
of provoke, brought in Justice Lockman's
court against Mrs. Grocio, he would dis
miss the fine he intends placing against
Mrs. Montani. The Montanis said they
would make an effort to have the case in
the justice court dismissed.
