Birmingham, Ala, April 14.-Specials
from Evergreen, Ala, says:
News has just reached here by tele-
phone confirming rumors of heavy loss
of life and property in the neighbor-
hood of Peterman and Burnt Corn,
wrought by the tornado which passed
near there yesterday.
Ten persons are known to have been
killed and numerous barns, resi-
dences, fences and outbuildings
were swept away, entailing a loss
which will reach high in the
thousands. On account of the
bad condition of the wires, commune
cation is difficult and the only name
of the dead that could be obtained Is
that of Henry Salter, a well known
planter.
Several residences were demolished,
the timber falling on the occupants,
killing and injuring all within the
buildings. 1t probably will be several
days before a correct list of the
casualties can be obtained.
Peternan is in Monroe county and
is not within twenty-five miles of a
railroad or telegraph station.

MARKET WAS FEVERISH.

stock Steadied a Bit by Buying Or
ders and Bears Covering.
New York, April 1.-THE stock mar
ket was feverish and unsettled again
this morning as an after effect of
yesterdays severe shaking down. In
fluential support, however, was ac-
corded at the start to-day, and the
heavy offerings of stocks were absorb
ed and prices bid up determinedly as
often as they fell. This had the eff
feet of restoring confidence and check
ing the flood of liquidation.
A recovery of Northern Securities
on the curb to above the opening level
helped to reassure sentiment on the
Stock Exchange, and the market be-
came quiet and dull, but decidedly
firm.
The level of prices for the majority
of active stocks ruled between l and 2
points above last night. The bear party
was inclined to cover and caused a
hardening tendency of the market, but
the volume of dealings was much di-
minished on the advance, and buyers
were not disposed to follow prices up
ward with any eagerness.
The demand from the bears became
urgent late in the day to cover their
short contracts when a rumor circuiat-
ed that the Northern Securities Com
pany would arrange a compromise with
the government of the suit against the
validity of the company. The result
was a strong and active close, with
some leading stocks two points or more
above last nights level.

Hill Had to Say.
New York, April 14.-Just before the
close of the stock market to-day re-
norts were current that the Northern
securities Company had decided not
N appeal from the merger decision and
would abandon that plan for one of
several others.
A representative of the company, in
a nosition to speak with authority, de-
clared that the report was absolutely
ton had yet been determined upon and
might not be for some time.
Another report circulated just before
the closing hour of the Stock Exchange
was that steps were being taken to
compromise the Northern Securities
case in some way. Just how this was
to be done was not brought out. This
report, apparently, was without au-
thority.
Another rui1or was to the effect that
steps were being taken to dissolve the
Northern Securities Company and
that the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific would be managed in some
way as independent organizations. Of
this rlnnor President James ]. Hill
said:
There is not a word of truth in
that story. There is no intention on
the part of the Northern Securities
people to dissolve the company. On
the contrary we are preparing an ap-
peal"
A Wall street news bureau this aft
ernoon, in connection with the reports
that an appeal would net be filed,
quotes an informant, named as a
conservative authority as follows:
Counsel concerned with the North
ern Securities Company have COM

tive plans which were possibly drawn
up and extensively considered long
before the present decision, and these
counsel, together with some of the
largest bankers interested in the en-
terprise, will proceed to Washington
