TWoMORE EFAn URES OCCUR

New York. July H.-In spite of. or probs the Stock Exchange. E. s. Hooley & Co. and William Bassett of Boston, today's stock market showed very general im- provement and the situation as whoIe was viewed with more cheerfulness.
 The Hooley failure was regarded as an inevitable sequel to that of W. L. Stowe 6 Co, which came last Friday. The failure of MT. Bassett was wholly unim- portant, one of the days incidents.
 The market displayed a weaker tone at the outset. many of the railroad stocks showing fractional declines. Slight im- provement soon followed. but prices fell off from one to three points in the active list, with even greater declines in the specialties as soon as the Hooley failure became known.
 E. 6 T. HIS Severe Declines.
 Evansville and Terre Haute. HooieN speciality. declined 1-2 points. and the entire list reflected considerable confu- sion. By the end of the first hour, the sit- uation was well in hand and prices ad- vanced save In a few instances where pressure continued to be directed upon certain stocks.
 The Bassett failure, announced at noon. excited hardly any attention. So far as could be learned. MT. Bassett had no outstanding contracts. In this city
 Further improvement was shown by the market in the late session. even Evansville and Terre Haute recovered all but point of its early loss, Des Moiness and Forft Dodge and the Hooley stocks. gaining four points. While somewhat irregular at the close, the list made a number of material net gains. These ir- cIude advances of twp points or more in the active railway list.

 Industrials Show Gains.
 A few of the high-class industrials made gains. notably the Westinghouse issues, points; General Electric. United States Steel Corporation, 1 Is, and the pre- ferred, 1 IA
 On the other hand, some of the indus trials showed severe declines. Shares of the Rubber Goods Company and the United States Company, in which the firm of Talbot J. Taylor & Co. is said to be interested. sold at better prices.
 The assignee of Hooley & Co. would make no statement for publication, and 1t was impossible to learn the extent of the obligations. In conservative circles, the firms liabilities are placed at about S, 100000 It is known that Hooley & Co. had offers of help from high quarters, but deemed 1t advisable to decline. The firm of Hooley & Co was organized in June. 1902. and consists of Edwin s. Hooley, Frank E. Brumley and Norbert Heinsheimer. They had controll of F. and T. Fl. Railroad two years ago. They were dominant figures in Des Moines and Ft. Dodge in 1887.

A NEGREss LYNCHED.
Gave Poison in Lemonade to a White
 Girl

New Orleans. July T.-A special to The Picayune from Shreveport says:
 News reached Shreveport yesterday that the negress Jennie Steer, who adminis- tered poison in glass of lemonade to Lizzie Dolan. the 16-year-old daughter of John Dolan, from the effects of which she died, was lynched by an infuriated mob about sundown Saturday night. The lynching occurred on the Beard planta- tion, near the spot where the womans crime was committed.
 Jennie Steer was stubborn to the last. denying the crime. But proof against her was direct and conclusive. and precluded the possibility of her innocence.
 It Is claimed that the negress fled from the Dolan household as soon as she dis covered that her crime was known. She was pursued by posse, who found her crouching in a hayloft. She refused to come out and had to be dragged from the place. Asked why she had poisoned Miss Dolan, the negress indignantly de- nied the commission of the crime She was taken to the Dolan homestead and fully identified as the woman who had placed the poison in the lemonade.
 The mob then took her to a nearby tree, placed a rope around her neck and again asked her to confess. She was stubborn to the last, however, and was strung up without making any admissions. While
 
 bullets were fired into 1t by the enraged citizens.
 The poisoning of Miss Dolan created intense excitement in the neighborhoce of the crime. The victim of poison was beautiful young girl who was not known to have an enemy in the world. She died in horrible agony, a fact which acceDtuated the rage of the mob. The funeral of Miss Dolan occurred this morning and it was attended by persons for miles around.
 There is a growing suspicion that this negress was connected with the murder of Mrs. Frank Matthews, whose horrible death startled the people of this section several months ago. She was a negress of forbidding aspect, but a good servant, and Mrs. Matthews kept her against the protests of her son and daughter. On the morning of the murder she was the first one to notify the inmates of the house of the crime However, suspicion was not directed to her, as 1t was be- lieved at the time that Mrs. Matthews had been assaulted and the crime was placed at the door of many.
 Porter Matthews, son of Mrs. Matthews, said today that subsequent developments inclined both his sister and himself to the belief that his mother was murdered by a woman and robbery was the motive for the crime. Thirty dollars Mrs. Mat thews had in the house at the time was missing after the murder, and the con- dition of Mrs. Matthews's body indicated | that she had been struck by a woman, as the gashes were not deep, such as the strength of man would have been able l to make. Neither Mrs. Matthews nor her daughter were assaulted.

 Larceny.

New York. July N.-The trial of Law renee Murphy. the accused treasurer of the stone cutters union, was resumed be- fore Judge Newburger in the Court of General Sessions today.

SHIPMENTS OF FRUIT.
Hundred Car Loads a Day Leaving
 Sacramento.

San Francisco. July N-A hundred car loads of fruit a day, 100000 pounds. are now going East from Sacramento.
 Up to last Monday the number of cars sent East to all points beyond Ogden was 1,717. They contained fl. 600 pounds of fruit Both the railroad officials and the orchardists say that the prospects are favorable for the shipment East, this sea- son. of 192. 600 pounds of all sorts of green fruits. This is equivalent to 5000 carloads.
 The New York, Chicago Boston and St. Paul demand for all kinds of California green fruit is reported to be stronger than ever. The orchardists. through an execu- tive committee. are routing the shipments in such a manner as not to glut the mar ket in any of the Eastern cities.
 On this account, prices are kept firm and steady. The severe winter and spring weather in many Eastern and Southern localities destroyed most of their fruit trees. This is the main reason for the present prices being paid for California fruits.

The export of grain from Chinese ports is illegal. but the Russians here tofore have ignored the law. During the past week the Japanese obtained many ship loads from New Chwang, apparently preparing for war contingencies. Several ships were em- ployed in bringing wheat from Shanghai and Southern ports to New Chwang. where is was transshpped a direct export. The pro- hibtory order was issued by the Russian of- fcials last Thursday.
 General Kondradovitch has been placed in charge of six armed commercial boats and the navigation of the Laio River. which is con- strued here another sign of Russia's inten- tion to retain New Chwang and the command of the river. Great numbers of Russian ci- williams and soldiers families. 1t Is reported. are being brought to Manchuria. 1t Is believed in pursuance of a comprehensive plan to rap idly colonize the province. At the present rate there will be almost 100, 900 Russian civilians in Manchuria, including Port Arthur and Dalny before the date fixed for the final evacuation next Fall.

APACHES LEARN QUICKLY The Exhibit of the White River In- dustrial School Highly Praised.

The Indian Industrial school at the Fort Apache Indian agency of which Judge C. w Grouse is the :;upern- tendent and disbursing agent has re- ceived honorable mention by the com missioner of Indian affairs and Super intendent Reel of the Indian schools of the United States. Of all the schools which contr ibuted to the recent ex- hibit Of Indian schools at Minneapolis, the Fort Apache school was especially singled out for progressiveness. Its share of the exhibit was pronounced to compare favorably with the best in the service.
 The exhibits were taken from work on the farm. in the sewing room and the school rooms. The work was ex- cellent and merited all the praise it received and showed that the Apache youth is easy to train.
 The exhibit had hardly been re- turned from the national teachers as sociation at Boston before it was called for at ChenIawa, Ore, where it will remain until the latter part of the month.

 They left tie hotel pier at s o'clock in the morning and arrived at Coro- nado islands at l o'clock. After an hours fishing they had lunch and then headed the boat for the Mexican coast passing through several schools of fish. Arthur Luhrs and Leroy Me

will be wanted for the rougher work
 Yesterdays morning trains brought to Phoenix Louis C. Hill of Golden, Colo. and F. s. Badger and wife of Wadsworth, New, all of whom regis tered at the Hotel Adams. Both MT. Hill and Mir. Badger are assistant con- structing engineers of the geological survey, both having been in the em- ploy of that bureau for sometime though they had never met before. Each came to Phoenix under orders from their superior and without the knowledge of each others orders.
 Neither gentleman was in q position to give out any information respecting the Tonto project that has not already been printed, but the very fact of their presence and their orders is the basis of a very pleasing inference or the part of Phoenix people. Mir. Hill who was working for the geological survey n Colorado was ordered to come to Phoenix and from there locate Mir. Davis ard report to him in the field wherever he may be. Mir. Davis is sup posed to be at, or near the dam site, and MT. Hill last night continued his journey toward Globe.
 NIT. Badger has been working on the Truckee storage enterprise with head quarters at Wadsworth. New, and came here with his wife under orders to stay till MT. Davis arrival or till he should be ordered to join him else< where.
 Respecting the work a TOnto neither gentleman had anything to say. in fact they have been busy elsewhere and have paid little attention to this pro- 1 ject. The inference to be drawn though is that when engineers whose speciality | is construction work, are ordered into the field there is likely to be something doing in the way of construction at q 1 very early day. In other words il I may be assumed that these men are tC 1 participate in the building of ,the cement works, the power canal the saw mills and other things for which the preliminaries have been going on some | time.
