A. Hart of the Chicago National

that he made the trip to the coast
simply to advise Spalding of the base
ball situation. and that nothing sensa-
tional developed at the conference.
President Hart denied the recent ru-
mors which have alleged that COM

drafted He said that so far as he was

THE MANCHESTER MARKET.
Prices of Cloth Fairly Firm Despite
Fluctuations of Cotton.

Manchester. March 16.-The cloth
market during the past week was fair
ly firm, although the fluctuations of
cotton somewhat bewildered operators.
The main factor of the week was the
absence Of response from the oversee
markets to the advance here. Irregu>
larity was noticeable where actual
business was in question.
The China trade was small There
was plenty of inquiry from India for
fabrics, but this rarely led to anything,
although some orders for printing and
finishing cloths were placed. The po-
litical trouble in South America and
the uncertainties in Central America
also exerted depressing influence on
the market, Mediterrc mean outlets
improved slightly Yarns were fairly
steady, and the possibility of a further
curtailment of the production strength
ened the views of the spinners.

A BOLD ROBBERY.
An Old Grand Harbor Citizen Relieved of
His Cash.

One of the boldest robberies known
here, was committed at Grand Harbor
last Sunday night, and from the re-
ports of the affair, which were not re-
ported to tho authorities hero until
late Tuesday afternoon, the per-
petrators have had all sorts of chances
to escape arrest.
The facts of the robbery as related
are as follows: Sunday afternoon
three young men, named Frank, Alex
and John Pearson, went to Peter
Olson 8 residence and asked him to
leave pair of shoes there until q
while later. They did not call for
tho shoes until nearly 10 clock at
night. when one of the trio raped At
Olson door and demanded them.
Olson, who is 10 years old, opened the
door and was instantly knocked down
by tho man who asked for admission.
He was choked and held on the floor
by his assailant long enough TO allow
the other two brothers to go through
the old man 8 pockets and relieve him
Of 1862 in cash.
The robbery created great excite
mont at tho Harbor, and warrants
were issued bv the states attorney late

self lying in the ditch back of the
building. Fortunately he escaped
unhurt, but in case of accident he |
certainly would have brought action
for heavy damages against the re-
sponsible parties. The city Of Devils
Lake, which in every other way pre-
sents q metropolitan appearance to
strangers, certainly falls very much
short in maintaining its good reputa-
tion under the present condition of
street lighting, matter which is of
much importance. Citizen.
The Inter- Ocean, in an interview
on this much agitated subject, with
Mayor Winsman, received the follow
ing statement from that Official:
"Ths miserable lighting Of our
streets at the proper time is simply
because Mr.. Tompkins is either un-
able to light them, or else he don't
want to. His time for lighting
agreed on expires Nov. 1. During
the past three months there never was
time when all the lights in the city
we're lighted at the proper time. The
city authorities have done everything
in their power to have this unpleasant
evil remedied, but SO far they have
been at the mercy of Mr.. Tompkins.
"Mr. Bowling, the superintendent Of
the new electric plant, assures mo
that his plant will positively be in
operation within two or three weeks,
and that tho street lighting question
will receive his prompt attention.
The unfortunate delay in getting the
new works into operation Sept. IS,
was solely due to the scarcity of help,
and the inability to secure the needed
building material. He will soon have
the best electric lighted streets In the
northwest.
In justice to Mr.. Tompkins, and as
matter of fair play, the Inter Ocean
interviewed that gentleman on the
Lighting question, and he briefly stated
that his plant carried too much of
load to supply the power necessary at
one time to burn all the lights in the
city; consequently he could not run
all the street lights until some of the
merchants close up. He said he never
had contract signed by the city, al
though he had such an instrument
drawn up, apa signed it himself before
a notary public. Although his
agreement with the city expires Nov.
1, he never felt that he was in duty
bound to consider himself under any
obligations to the city.
