Home railway dividends were disappointing but the shareholders were assured that the railway companies are investing their earnings in improved equipments. In- creased economy of operation is held out as a compensation.

Resembles in Some Features
 Famous Duant Mystery
YOUNG GIRL FOUND NAKED
She Went Away in Answer to an Ad- vertisement Wanting Some one to Take Care of a Baby.
 Evidently Poison.

San Francisco February 9.-A myster- ious murder, resembling in some feat ures the noted Durant case is now pug zlng the police department of this city. The body of Nora Fuller, a 16-year-old girl who disappeared from her home Jan uary II, was found lying naked on bed in the upstairs back room of an un- furnished house at 2211 Sutton street yes terday evening. The girl had been dead some time, as decomposition had begun. There was nothing in the house to indi- cate the means used to take her life, but the posture of the body and it's con- dition, together with the disorder of the room, indicate murder. An autopsy dis closed that death was not due to nat ural cause. The general theory is that the girl was either stranged or pois- oned.
 Nora Fuller left home January Il and met man known as John Bennett, in re- sponse to an advertisement for a girl to take care of a baby She met the man at a restaurant and thereafter all knowl- edge of her was lost. On January the found was rented by a man giving the name of C. R. Hawkins. The general description of Hawkins and Bennett tally and it is thought the two names were aliases of the same man.

 Use-Few Are in Need.

Paterson, N. J., February 9.-Three re- lief meetings were held during the after noon, the principal one of which was at tended by Governor Franklin Murphy, Mayor John Hinchliffe and Recorder G. B.

 Governor Murphy and Mayor Hinchliffc said they were extremely grateful for the assistance given by the fire departments in the nearby cities, which responded so promptly to the calls for aid

SEWANEE STORY
 IS OVERDRAWN
MoUNTAINEERs ARE ANGRY OVER ESTABLISHMENT OF A LAUNDRY, BUT THREATS AGAINST VlcE-cHANcELlOR GO UNHEADED.

Sewanee, Tenn, February 9.-(Special) Reports sent out from here and sur rounding cities to the effect that angry mountaineers have declared war on the university and forced the Vice Chancel- Tor to leave are overdrawn and in many particulars without foundation.
 Vice Chancellor Wiggins received an anonymous letter some weeks ago mak- ing threats against him, Steward colmer and others in case a new laundry was established.
 The mountaineers have been making money out of the students by washing clothes and are enraged over the estab- lishment of laundry. The first laundr, was burned and when it became known that another was to be built vice Chan celor Wiggins found the anonymous note under his door, threatening to blow up the building with dynamite.
 The letter was treated with the ut most contempt by the Vice Chancellor, as it was very evident that its author was some irresponsible, uneducated per son. The Vice Chancellor's visit to Charleston and other points has no con- nection with the letter. His trip had been planned for some time, and Dr. Wiggins has no fear of the threats being carried out
 The Vice Chancellor is a benefactor to the poor people of Sewanee, and all right thinking people here recognize this fact. and none would rally to his support more quickly than the working people.

RACE HORSE MEN FRIENDLY
Will Hold Meeting and Wipe Out All
 Old Turf Troubles.

Chicago February 9.-Stewards of the Western Jockey Club will hold a special meeting here tomorrow and are expected to take action that will wipe out the last bit of friction now existing in western turf circles. It is believed that Highland Park of Detroit will be granted a license and allotted dates for a spring meeting.
 The meeting will be an aftermath of the regular session of the stewards held one week ago. At that time the Douglass Park Racing Association of Louisville. which is headed by the Farmer Hendrie combination was refused permission to race. An application from Highland Park also controlled by Farmer and Hendrie Was passed over to the March meeting with an application from the Detroit Driving Club of which Mir Cam pau is the head.
 The refusal to give dates to Douglass Park brought warlike statements from MT. Farmer, but later he conferred with Judge Perkins of Latonia. one of the Western Jockey Club stewards, who ex- pressed his willingness to forget the Douglass Park affair, if the Jockey Club would grant dates for Highland Park for which he had previously announced stakes.

MANCHESTER MARKET,
During Latter Part of Week Cloth
 Prices Were Steadier.

Manchester, February 9.-The exper- fences of sellers in the different branches of the cloth market varied most during the past week. During the latter part of the week, however, prices were steadier and there was more business, although buyers acted reservedly. The market was very firm, and especially in view of the hardening of cotton at Liverpool, while merchants appear to be less confident of the fall in the price of cotton which they have been anticipating
 The demand from India was unsatis- factory. There was considerable sale to China of shirtings, principally of medium qualities. Many makers are engaged well into the summer by these sales. The out look of trade with China is promising. Other departments were quiet. Yarns were quiet and steady. The ample sup plies prevent spinners from obtaining the advance shown in the price of cotton.

Lies Broadside on the Beach With a
 List to Port.

Halifax, N. &, February s.-The Allen line steamer Grecian, Captain Harrison. from Liverpool January 25 via St. Johns, N. F., ran upon rocks on the western shore five miles from this city at o'clock this morning, and now has water in fore and aft holds, with the engine room free.

INSURANCE MEN MEET.
Loss Will Fall Largely Upon compa-
 nies in New Jersey.

New York, February 9.-There was a nasty assemblage of the fire underwrit- CTS at Newark today and efforts were made to obtain from Paterson an idea of the losses there. It seems that the loss will fall largely upon the companies which are in the state of New Jersey Four Newark companies-the Fire mems, Merchants, Newark Fire and American of Newark, with the aid of Iiaps of the city this afternoon made up an estimate of their losses. Their pay ments will not be more than $40,000 in any case, making but a comparatively small amount in thf aggregate.
 Loss<s are likely to fall largely upon the insurance companies of this city The general expression among underwriters here is that insurance carried in this

portions that the city of Paterson suffered though some of the property now lying in blackened ruins had an interest which came with age and usage. The estimate of s10,0OO,OOO will probably cover the de- struction broadly and group of city of fieials who went over the city this af- ternoon were inclined to scale this figure down to S75OO. 900 and $s, 100000 for actual property losses. Their estimate made no calculation for loss on account of sus- pension of business.
 Losses in many instances, notably in the case of the trust companies, will de- pend upon how the valuts and safes stood the test of fire.
 Had not the wearied Paterson firemen been helped during the day by brother firemen from neighboring cities and towns it is tolerably certain that the mu- nicipality would have suffered in a far greater degree than it did. Late tonight the fire still burned though it had been well under control since this afternoon.

Trenton, N.

Orders were issued from the adJu- tant-generals office calling out the Pat erson Battalion of the National Guard to to do patrol duty.

PACKING HOUSES IN MEXICO.
One Will be Built at Either Victoria
 or TamEico.

Monterey, Mexico, February 9-Gover- nor Argeulles of the state of Tamaulipas is here as the city's guest during the stay of the Pan-American delegates.
 In an interview Governor Arguelles said:
 within a few weeks steps will prob ably be taken for packing house either at Victoria or Tampico A concession has been asked for and the applicant will be granted an exemption from taxes for fifteen years if the concern is located in Tampico or a greater concession if built in Vict oria.
 Governor Arguelles thinks there is a great opportunity for packing houses in Mexico. Cattle are now so much cheaper in Mexico, the Governor says, than in the United States that 1t will be a paying proposition to ship beef from Tampico to England, where it can be laid down for less money than from New York.
