A WIFE'S DREAM.
Saw Dead Body of Husband Thousands
Of Miles Away.


A remarkable instance Of a dream con
ing true or a demonstration OF psyche
phenomena, comes TO light here in con-
nectiOn with the death of W. S Mann, a
stranger in Butte, who died Of paralysis
On February %. Among his effects were
several unsigned and undated letters fror4
his wife. The body was held several DAYS
by an undertaken in the hope that [,
relatives might be found.
The day following TIE death a letter
was received at his hotel. This was
turned over 20 Undertaken Duggan. II
vas from his wife and had been written
a few days before her husbands death.
The letter was again unsigned. About a
week later another letter was received
from her. II had been written at Hot
Springs, Ark, and had followed Mann
about the country. but arrived in Butte
alter the body had been buried.
This letter was dated February Is, the
day Of the mans death Mrs. Mann wrote
that she had had a most shocking and
realistic dream that night and saw her
husband dead in his coffin. She also
dreamed that he had been buried alive
and that when the grave was opened the
body was found turned over IN the coffin
Still another letter came. In II the wife
said she had the same vision three times
and she begged an immediate answer from
any one who might get the letter
Undertaken Duggan was so impressed
that he had the body eKhumed 10 satisfy
himself that Mann had not been buried
alive. Decomposition had set in, and the
undertaken says he could find no evidence
that Mann was not dead when he was
buried--Butte Telegram in New York Sun.

A GIGANTIC ANCHOR.
Successful Experiment at the Charles

The largest anchor ever forged, says

and smelling and welding it,
This great anchor Is to form part Of the
equipment for one Of the new battleships
that are TO be added TO Uncle Sans navy.
The making OF it was first tried as an ex-
pertinent II was not certain that an
anchor Of such size could be forged An
chors Of as great weight have been made
Of cast steel and such are used on some
ships OF the American navy as well as on
British warships.
But as cast steel is more likely 20 be
broken. the navy officials desired 10 Sc
cure anchors OF equal weight in wrought
iron. and il has remained for the equip
ment department Of the Charlestown yard
to prove that their manufacture is pos
sible. So great has been the success of
this experiment that the Government has
ordered twenty-five Of equal size and
weight TO be furnished; two for each Of

The officials Of the equipment depart

four years The steam hammer which Is
used IN forging the anchors gives a stroke
Of eleven tons. The officers hope soon TO
have one giving a stroke Of twenty-five

MARKET AT OPENING
Showed IRRBGULARITY
The Readings Were Inclined
to Weakness.
LONDON PRICES UNCHANGED
In the Industrial Quarter Changes Were
as a Rule Confined to Fractions, and in
the Main Were Unimportant-Steel Is
sues Were Inclined to Be Heavy.


NEW YORK March 2O.-The market
opened this morning with showing Of
irregularity. Although advices from the
anthracite miners conference were IA
vcrabIe. and reported a majority Of thir-
ty-six as opposed to strike. the Read
ings were inclined 60 weakness
st. Louis and san Francisco opened
strong as did St. Paul. Atchison, BaIti-
more and Ohio. and the traction shares.
In the industrial quarter changes were,
as a rule. confined TO fractions, and in the
main were unimportant-
The steel issues we're inclined to be
heavy on very moderate sales.
There was no particular news at the
opening OF the market. London cabled
prices which were practically unchanged.
and there is no change in the Bank Of
Engiand's discount rate this week.
Railroad reports continue to be very
gratifying, while the volume of business
in the steel trade continues to be ex-
tremely heavy.
Today for the first time the common
and preferred shares Of the Corn Products
Company, the successor Of the National
Starch and Glucose Companies were dealt
in on the Stock Exchange.
The main tendency of the market dur
ing the morning session vas toward fur

quite s1rOnE and the trading well dis
aributed- The leading shares. notably St
Paul. Union Pacific. the AtchisOns, South
ern Pacific, and others. occupied more
prominent place in the dealings than at
any previous time this week.
The grangers were strong. on good
weather advices. Amalgamated Copper
rallied sharply on buying, which same
principally from Boston incidentally, the
large short interest reduced part Of its
commitments. The fractions we're firm,
but comparatively inactive. The stsels
were inclined to heaviness-
Among the specialties which developed
activity and strength were St. Louis and
San Francisco, the Colorado SOutherns,
the Nickel Plates. and others The open
ing rate for call money was AZ per cent
There were no noteworthy news devel-
opments bearing on the market situation,
but as the market became more active
moderate short interest was disclosed
throughout the list and a demand from
that quarter served 20 help along the ad-
vance. Manipulation was obvious, but. at
the same time, II was accompanied by a
moderate increase in outside business.
London was not an important factor in
the dealings.
