The sEABoARD AIR Line.
A Standard Oil Firm the Heaviest
Buyers of the Stocks.

New York, Oct. 2.-Ladenburg,
Thalman s Co., the financial represen-
tatives in this city Of the Seaboard Air
Line interests, had no statement to
make today regarding the affairs of
the company. Seaboard shares we're
very weak on the curb, opening with
losses Of 534 and per cent. for the
preferred and common stocks, later
making further declines. It is known
that Ladenburg, Thalman & Co. re-
Gently took over the stock market
holdings of Middendorf & Co., of Bal
timore, and j. L. Williams & Co., of
Richmond, both of which are identi-
fed with the Seaboard system. This
explains in part the recent heavy lioui-
dation of such stocks as Pennsylvania,
Baltimore and Ohio, Chesapeake and
Ohio, Norfolk and Western and a few
others Of that group. The hidden
dorf and Williams firms are said to
have held from 80, 600 to 100, 600 shares
of these stocks, which they offered as
collateral for loans. The loans were
closed out recently in this city and the
stock offered fo. sale in the market.
It was significant that the heaviest
buying on the curb today on the de-
cline in Seaboard Air Line was by
firm that is specialist in Standard
Oil. The Baltimore interests sold a
good deal, but at the same time
bought more or less. The chief market,
for Seaboard stock is in that city.

Dun's Review of Trade.

New York, Oct. 2.-R. G. Dun d
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Aside from the reduction in blast
furnace activity manufacturing plants
are more fully engaged, and several
encouraging reports are received, par
ticulariy as to foot wear. Wholesale
and jobbing trade is we'll maintained,
many cities reporting larger voiUme
than last year. and business at Chlca-
90 is stimulated by the multitude at
tending the centennial. Latest returns
of foreign commerce at this port are
favorable, exports increasing, while
imports decrease as compared with
the same week last year. Railway
earnings thus far available for Sep
tember exceed those of 1902 by 81 per
cent and surpass earnings IN 1901 by
1913 per cent.
It is practically certain that a re-
duction of pig iron output will be
made, averaging about 20 per cent.
and this concerted action to prevent
accumulation of stocks has already
had sentimental effect on the mar
ket, inquiries increasing in number
and extent of tonnage
Dry goods markets present no new
features Production increases as the
mills are able to secure cotton, ard
there is all impression that stocks will
soon be so low that purchases will be
compulsory.

Providence INTERVIEWED.

One of the most miraculous escapes
from death which ever occurred in
this part of the world happened this
week at farm few miles from
Raleigh. Near an old country barn
stood great oak, which had died,
but so recently that it's withered
leaves still furnished some shade. In
the porch of the house cat a mother
while little Negro nurse rolled the
mothers pretty baby back and forth
under the shade of the sheltering
tree. Suddenly as the nurse sang
and the baby cooed, the tree fell, bury
ing in its wreck of branches, child
nurse and carriage. One big limb
pinned the girl to the earth by her
dress, but she was unhurt. Right and
left Of the carriage big limbs were
broken off and driven deep into the
ground, while under sort of arch
theyS made was the, baby in the carrl-
age, not in the least injured. The baby
was actually laughing.-F. =. Olds,

as being caused more particularly by

TURKS HIVE FREE HAND.
kilograms Sent From the Gar
and Emperor to the Ambassa-
doris of Austria and Russia
Declaring Powers Will Not
Interfere.

| Vienna. Oct. 4.-AS an outcome o.
the conference between the Gar ane
Emperor Francis Joseph, at Muerzs
teg, the Governments of Austria ane
Russia have sent the following identi
cal telegram to the ambassadors o1
those countries in Constantinople
The telegrams were couched in the
following terms:
"You were recently instructed to de.
clare that ria-Hungary and Rus.
sia adhere to the task of pacifcatior
which they have undertaken, and are
resolved to persevere with the pro-
gramme drawn up at the beginning OF
the year, Notwithstanding the Difficult.
ties hitherto opposed to it's execu-
tion. For, indeed, while on the one
hand, the revolutionary committees
have provoked disturbances and de-
tered the Christian population of the
three vilayets from cooperating in
the execution Of the reforms, on the
other hand, the representative Of the
sublime Porte, entrusted with their
application, have been generally
wanting in the necessary zeal and
have not been imbued with the idea
which inspired these measures.
"Both Powers are united in the de-
termination to show that it is their
firm resolve to insist on the execution,
in their entirety, of those reforms
which were accepted by the Porte,
and which are calculated to guarantee
general security. In this connection
you will receive detailed instructions
without delay.
"While the Powers recognize to the
full the Porte's right and duty to sup
press the disorders fostered by the in.
surrectionary agitation of the Mace
donian committee, they at the same
time deplore the fact that this sup
preston was accom- panied by excesses
and cruelties from which the peaceful
inhabitants suffered. It, therefore,
appears to them to be their urgent
duty to come to the assistance of the
victims of these regrettable occur
rences, and the above mentioned in.
structions will acquaint you with the
details of the humanitarian action
which they deem necessary, with the
object of supporting the inhabitants
who have been deprived of all means
of existence, facilitating their repatri
alton and restoring the villages,
churches and schools destroyed by fire.
''The Austro- Hungarian and Rus,
sian Governments entertain the firm
hope that their continued endeavors
to establish a lasting peace in the sore
ly tried provinces will attain their OBJ
iect and they are convinced that their
impartial advice will be needed by al
to; whom it is addressed in their own
interests.
''By command of his Majesty, my
august master, 1 request you to com
municate the foregoing to the Ottoman
Government, after you have arrived at
an understanding with your Russian
Tor Austrian) colleage, who has receiv-
ed Identical instructions.

Manchester, Oct. There was con-

last week for eastern outlets, notably
China. Buyers are readily disposed to
operate, but manufacturers stiffened
their rates and business was Irregular.
Some sellers negotiated fair number
of orders but others made little or no
progress. The bulk of the transactions
have been for forward delivery ano,
therefore, producers have not obtained
immediate relief and are further cur
failing their output, some closing
their mills altogether until the advent
of more favorable conditions. There

Business in yarns was limited and

Sofa, Bulgaria, Oct. 2.-The Mace
donian revolutionary headquarters as
sert that they have positive informa-
tion that. the whole christian popula-
tion of the town of Mehomia (Razalog,
Province of Seres, was massacred
September % with the exception of ten
men, who escaped with the news.
Mehomia is an important town and
the seat of the local Government.
The population was about equally
divided between Turks and Bulgari-
ans. The latter numbered $500 per-
sons.
According to the fugitives, when the
general rising was declared in the Ra
zalog district on Sunday the Turkish
troops in the Pirin Mountains hurried
to Mehomia and surrounded the town
rendering the escape of the Christians
impossible. The Bulgarian population
were prepared to join in the rising,
several insurgents agents being in the
Bulgarian quarter of the town at the
time. Desperate fighting occurred in
the streets, bombs and dynamite being
freely used. After fighting for five OF
six hours the Turks gained the upper
hand and proceeded to massacre every
Bulgarian they encountered.
