Count Lamsdorff, the foreign minister,
his regret at the approaching depar-
ture of Charlemagne Tower, the Amer

BOSTON WOOL MARKET SHOWS
MARKED IMPROVEMENT.
No INCLINATION TO SHADE
Business in Territories Decidedly
Brisk and Prices Holding Firm
Big Deals Pending.

According to the American Wool
and Cotton Reporter the Boston wool
market is m%anifesting every indica-
ton of marked improvement, both as
regards present conditions and the
prospects ahead. Last weeks sales
totaled 7,OSO,OOO pounds.
Some good sized sales have been put
through. says the Reporter, and some
large deals are pending at this writ
ing, which, if contaminated, will re-
suit in even larger business than that
already noted.
This applies to both territories and
fleeces, as well as Oregon and Texas
woods. Secured woods are in espec-
tally good request. Pulled woods are
about the only class OF stock in the
domestic line in which an improved
business has not been transacted.
Both the large and smaller sized mills
have been in the market, including the
American Wooden company, although
the latters' operations here have not
been especially pronounced, being
more noticeable in the Philadelphia
market, where they have taken some
fine unwashed and tdelaine f1eeces.
More of the latter would have been
purchased here, il the ideas Of hold
ers had not been above those of in
tending buyers.
A large deal is reported to be pend
ing on Oregon wool, but whether buy
err and seller will come together re-
mains to be~ seen. The rumor of a
large individual sale Of 5000, 900
pounds of wool is unfounded.
A number Of the manufacturers
who are very busily employed have
evidently come to the conclusion that
they cannot get woods any cheaper
by holding off, and have come in and
taken woods at current market rates
evidently becoming more accustomed
to the new level Of prices ruling.
Selling Is Easy.
Sellers find no difficulty in getting
the prices which they had been get
ting and in some instances they are
reported as being able to get a trife
more; but while the market is strong
with a steadily hardening tendency
there is no warrant as yet for raising
the general level Of quotations, which
are practically unchanged.
Some manufacturers of course are
stoutly resisting paying the prices
asked, but would have bought much
more freely if even slight concessions
had been made; but, as showing the
firm attitude of holders, we may re
fer to the statement of n dealer who
said that he could have sold probably

GANG OF GHoULs ARRESTED At
INDIANAPOLIS.
DID A WHOLESALE BUSINESS
Negroes Confession to Police Leads to
Astounding and Horrifying
Revelation.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 29.--The
wholesale robbery Of graves in the
cemeteries about Indianapolis was
brought to a close early today by the
arrest of a gang Of seven negroes.
Warrants were also issued today for 9
prominent physician, the demonstra-
tor of anatomy in a local medical
lege, in which two stolen bodies were
found about 10 days ago, an inferno
in the college and the white janitor
Of the college.
Refus Cantrell, one of the negroes,
made a complete confession and I'M
plicated the others. He said the ply
sicians accompanied the negroes on
several of the grave robbing expedi-
lions.
The police say the operations Of the
gang were on a larger scale than any
gang in the state ever attempted be-
fore. Upwards of n hundred
graves, it is said, have been robbed.
| The detectives say the negroes we're
armed with shotguns and equipped
with wagons and horses with which
to do the work. The bodies were sold
to different colleges, which opened
their winter terms within the past
week.
The revelation made, the detectives
say, are not only astounding but hor'
rifying. They say that a complete
investigation will show that even the
graves on Grown Hill we're desecrat
FED by the ghouls. Cantrell said thai
he and the other negroes visited
Mount jackson cemetery almost every
time any one was buried in the place
we pretty nearly cleaned thai
place out" he said. II don't believe
that we missed anybody that has beer
planted there since July"
Cantrell said there were SOM
graves that wereI not disturbed be
cause the flowers and other article:
on top were arranged in such a man
ner that the gang did not feel conf
dent of restoring the graves to rthei1
former appearance.

FIVE BLOCKS GONE.
California Town Visited by a Dis
astrous Blaze.

Stockton, Cal, Sept. pa fire
which destroyed the Stockton Pavil-
ion last night and devastated five
blocks of other buildings, most of
which were dwelling houses, caused a
loss of nearly 100000 worth Of prop.
erty. One block of dwellings was
swept clean and four others have but
a fringe of houses remaining of them.
There are several nonresident porper'
ty owners and the actual loss is diff
ficult to arrive at.

badly injured, died this morning al

1000 bags Of secured wocls il he had
been willing to make a. concession Of
even one fcent per pound.
No Weakness Apparent.
There is no weakness apparent in
any direction, in view of the Stats
tically strong position of wool, the
favorable reports from the
goods market, the comparatively
very moderate stocks Of wool on hand
fer this time of the year, the impos-
sibility of replacing stock anywhere
at prices equivalent to those now rul-
ing at the seaboard, the enormous
consumption Of wool now in progress,
and the strengthening tendency
abroad.
The mills are running night and day
and prospective consumption is large.
The strength of the situation abroad
is decidedly pronounced. Merino
woods at the London sales have adj
tvanced about 5 per cent over the open
ing rates according to cable advices
received here on Monday of this
week, and low woods, even, are hold
ing their own remarkably well. It
would not have been surprising II the
latter had shown some weakness, but
they have ruled firm, with no evidence
Of weakness anywhere.
Territory Woods Active.
There has been an active business
in territory woods, and a still more
active business will have to be re-
ported, il certain negotiations now in
progress are successfully consummat-
ed. The business is not very well dis
tributed in the trade, however, even
one or two of the large houses report
ing a quiet business.
The inquiry has been for about ev-
erything-from a fine Nevada costing
SO cents and even IS cents down to
q medium territory costing 40 cents
clean. Some large lines Of fine medi-
UNI have been moved within the
range Of 46@48c, and Of medium at
4O@42c. Average to good fine has
sold at 48@50c, and choice woods
higher, according to degree Of fine
ness and staple. Some nice fine woods
have sold at 51@53c. and selected sta
pie at 53@54c.
Montana woods have been in de-
mand at 10000 in the grease for
choice staple, 17@1Sc for choice fine
medium. Average medium woods have
sold at. 17@18c and average fine at
15@16c. Good Wyoming woods are
restricted to few houses, and good
fine. and fine medium with average
staple bring 49@5Oc, clean; the short
er woods, 47c; and strictly selected
long, choice staple brings 50@52c
: There is no disposition to shade prices
OF any line Of stuff, and the tone Q
/, the market holds firm.

Harvey Sutherland in Ainslee's. 1.-THE
brass band is very ancient institution.
That is to say. its inventor died in 1894
at the age of eighty. There were horns
hefsre Adoiphe Sax. to be sure, but not
ouch horns -as we have now, for they
could not play every tune in every key
They could not even play a scale in any
key. The very first band entirely of
brass was organized in 1885, and |
dolht II any OF the instruments then
used could be played upon by modern
musicians without special practice. 1t
is only naek to 1883 when full regi-
mental baud OF the British army con.
sisted of two Oboes. two clarinets. two
horns and two bassoons. 1t must have
sounded even funnier than Tennysons
famous combination Of flute. violin and
nassoon.'
