Standard Oil Goes Up and the Trust
Magnate Makes $2,4OO,o0O.
New York, Jan. John D. Rookie
Teller made $2,400,000 on the curb yes
terday in Broad street by the advance
in the price of Standard Oil shares in
the outside market. The stock opened
at 697 bid and was quickly advanced
to 703 on small transactions AS Mr..
Rockefeller is said to own 100000
shares, his profits on paper were ST.
100000 on the days transactions. It
is authoritatively denied by the Stand
ard Oil people that they have acquired
a monopoly OF the product of the Beau
mont oil fields. The strength of the
stock on the curb was due to the re-
cent increase in the price of oil.

Chambers, a prominent young man
living in Barboursville, is dying, and.
George Thompson Of Huff Creek, Do
gan county, is thought to be mortally
wounded, the result of duel with
knives fought near Logan yesterday
morning. The men were both en-
ployed by prominent lumber COM
pany and for several weeks had been
at outs over the fact that both loved
the same young woman. They met.
and hot words passed. Each drew a.
knife and they plunged at each other
demon-like. Chambers was the first
to fall, having his body punctured in
half a dozen places, the keen blade Of
his antagonists knife having at one
stroke almost completely disem
boweled him. Before he fell, though,
he inflicted injuries to Thompson that
will, it seems certain, cause death.

Bold Attempt to Defraud Govern
ment Is Discovered at San

San Francisco, Sept. IA bold at
tempt has just been discovered to de-
fraud the government by shipping back
to China on the steamer Gaelic six i'm
posters in place of six Chinese who
were ordered deported by United States
District Judge De Haven. One arrest
has been made in the case and others
will follow shortly. Most sensational
developments are expected, as it is be-
lieved that the government has STUN
bled on to the work Of ring.
1t is the contention of the government
officials that the six genuine Chinese
were in the county Jail Friday morning
and that they were removed from there
at seven o'clock by deputy United
States marshal and taken back in a
hack to the Pacific Mail dock. From
there they were placed safely on
board the steamer Gaelic. Five hours
later the men could not be found, but
in their stead were impostors in no way
resembling them in appearance. At a
late hour Friday night the officials were
in the dark so far as having any
knowledge as to how this lightning
change act came about.

since September 1. State fairs and low
rate excursions have stimulated west
ern distribution, while good prospects
for corn, cotton, rice and sugar at the
south have made for cheerfulness in that
section. Eastern trade advices are OF
less notable activity. The lumber mar
ket shows contrasts in different Sec
tons. In the west lumber and building
material of all kinds is active and firm,
but at the east the resumption of build
ing operations at strike-infested cities
has not been sufficient to keep the mar
kets strong. The iron trade is rather
pessimistic, buyers persisting in holding
off, but the declines in northern and
western iron reported this week are
largely sympathetic, the result of the
reported additional cuts in the southern
product"

IMPROVEMENT IS REPORTED
Conditions in Trade Circles Continue
Encouraging.
Increased Activity Shown In Many
Branches-Fewer Complaints
Regarding Collections.

New York, Sept. 14.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Despite the interruption of holiday
the week has brought increased activity
in many branches of business. An en-
couraging symptom is the decreased
complaint regarding collections, accom-
panied by more discounting of bills.
Weather conditions have been favorable
for retail trade, distribution of mer-
chandise expanding, while there are fire.
qpent reports of larger jobbing fall bust
ness than last year. Some caution in
selecting goods owing to high prices is
reported at the west, but this is chiefly
confined to textiles. Labor disputes de-
crease, all but one of the unions having
signed the agreement in the local build
ing trades, and several other settlements
have been effected through concessions
by both sides. Railway earnings in Au-
gust were 81 per cent. larger than last
year and 1874 per cent. greater than in
1901. Owing to the lateness of the crops
there is little complaint of traffic con-
gestion.
Failures this week were 172 in the
United States, against 205 last year, and
10 in Canada, compared with % year
ago.

Providence, R. l., Sept. 14.-One of the
most grewsome sea tragedies was told
Friday when the schooner w. S. Fielding
reached this port from West Indian wa
tiers. Nearing Port au Prince on the
outward voyage the Fielding ran near
dark object bobbing over the seas.
1t was found to be an overturned boat
with seven men and one woman cling
ing to it, striving with the little strength
they had left to hold on to the slippery
bottom. How they managed to do so is
a miracle.
The coasting schooner to which they
belonged had struck rock and partly
filled. Then it suddenly had turned
turtle" The crew of seventeen persons
had all managed to get upon the bottom
of the overturned craft. Then ensued
four days of starvation and thirst. dur
ing which nine of the seventeen died,
and then the fifth day came the rescue
of the eight survivors.
The vessel was a small schooner and
had five days before the wreck was
sighted left the island Of Gonaive, Hayti,
for the island Of Mirigoane, carrying II
persons, including the captain. 1t
was loaded with fruits and provisions.
When a day out from Gonaive the
schooner struck rock. All the schoon-
er's company managed to cling to the
wreck. So quickly had the boat turned
turtle that not mouthful Of foot or
drop Of drinking water could be saved
The first day there was hot and blind
ing sun and choppy sea. Their hum
ger and thirst were bad enough, but
added 20 these was the terrible pounding
and scraping of their bodies on the ships
bottom as the waves lifted and dropped
them. Their legs and then their bodies
were beaten, scraped and cut until the
blood flowed freely. The men began to
give out the second day. One by one they
became exhausted and, losing their hold,
slipped into the sea- Others became de-
lirious and. in their frenzy. dropped off
to drown. The company dwindled to ten
the fourth day, and the next morning
only eight survived. These were about
to give up their long and bitter fight for
life, when one of them sighted the
Fielding. The survivors were taken to
Port au Prince.
