General business conditions, however,
are in excellent shape, the crops are so
munificent that it will be impossible to
produce anything like financial or COM
mercial crisis and people will have ample
opportunity to put their houses in order.
Those who fail to heed the warming with
which the atmosphere is surcharged at
this time will surely come to grief
1.-THE stock market has fallen fifty points
without serious panic or complications,
and the business interests Of the country
will have equal opportunity to conform to
any fall In prices or any reduction in the

HE SHOT A POLICEMAN
A Deserter in New York Who Was
Trying to Kill His Sweet
heart,

New York, July 2S.-In full view Of
hundreds Of persons going to work, Pa
trolman Cornelius Mulvey was shot and
probably fatally injured at Avenue e and
Seventh street to-day, while trying to
prevent a soldier from shooting his
sweetheart. The soldier is Adolph
Schloss, p years old, of the Eleventh
battery, field artillery, stationed at Fort
Hamilton, Brooklyn. After shooting the
policeman the soldier turned the revolver
on himself but without serious injury.
Mulvey was shot in the forehead, the bull
let passing thru his skull. Schloss was
arrested. His sweetheart, Louisa Freed
man, 10 years old, ran away, screaming
after the shooting and the police are
looking for her. What led to the shoot
ing Is not known. Schloss had been in
the army for two months and was on
leave of absence. He declared that he
had been away four days over his leave
but said he had had no intention Of de-
serting. Policeman Mulvey is so years
old and has been several years on the
force.
The girl was found later and told the de-
tectives that her father wished her three
older sisters to marry first and she had
therefore broken her engagement with
Schloss who shot at her after she had re-
fused to renew the engagement.

en- route to the gulf states, where they
will seek homes. Hundreds Of the negroes

1.-THE country has undergone a period Of
great prosperity. AS is always the case,
advantage is taken Of such condition to
promote a great many securities at greatly
inflated values. That has been the ex-
perience of a great many people in the
last three or four years. We have gone
too far and too fast. We have been do

hardening process which subjected Sc

their proper value was bound to errsue
and is now in progress thruout the coun-

'The banking and public interests gen.
orally became skeptical, credit was with
drawn and liquidation became inevitable
AS is always the case under similar con-

when the crash came, because their others
were unmarketable. They had to meet
commitments on what has been charac-

San Francisco, July 2S.-The posses
and militia are closing in on the band of
escaped desperadoes and it is likely that
within q few hours they will be sur
rounded. The capture or destruction of
the band is only a. matter of a very short
time as the authorities now have them
we'll in hand.
San Francisco, July 2s.-At latest ac-
counts the troops and posses organized
by the sheriffs of the different counties
are keeping in close touch with the con-
victs who broke out of state prison at
Folsom and their prisoners, the guards
and jail officials whom they have taken
with them in protection The party
is going towards Coloma, where the citi-
zens have armed themselves and will
unite with the authorities in an effort to
put an end to the existence of the gang
1t is reported that a driver of a stage
saw the oonvicts walking close together
They all wore citizens clothes and were
accompanied by men who were evidently
residents of the vicinity whom they had
apparently forced to 80 with them as
guides. A posse from Placerville under
Sheriff Bostwick was reported not far
behind them. .
Two Encounters Since the Escape.
The result of the fight between the con-
victs and the officers at o'clock last
night near Pilot HILL Eldorado county,
was the death of Fred Howard, convict,
killed outright and the wounding Of an
other convict, negro named Seavis. The
coroner Of Placerville at the request of
the prison officials will hold an inquest
on the dead convict. When last seen the
convicts were in citizens clothing, while
the prisoners wore the stripes. The lat
ter appeared to be having hard time OF
it, as they were heavily laden with bun
dies and ammunition. .....
The latest information is to the effect
that another encounter has taken place
between the fleeing convicts and their
pursuers resulting in the death of Johr
Allison, convict, and of another whose
name is yet unknown.

abnormally cool but otherwise favorable.
Corn Needs Rain.
Dover the northern portion Of the corn
belt, the corn crop has made good prog
ress and elsewhere fair advancement is
reported but there is need of rain In the
central and southern portions of the
principal corn states. While no serious
injury has yet resulted from drouth, the
crop is threatened in portions of Kansas,
Oklahoma and Missouri. Some winter
wheat remains to be harvested in the
north portion of the middle Atlantic
states and the lake region. While light
yields are generally indicated the crop
has been secured and is being threshed
under exceptionally favorable conditions,
that in shock and stack having wholly
escaped injury from moisture, which was
quite widespread in the previous year.
Spring Wheat's Troubles.
The condition of spring wheat continues
unfavorable especially over the northern
portion of the spring wheat region. An
Improvement, however, in the crop on fall
plowed lands In northern Minnesota is
reported but the late sown is poor and
rust is prevalent in southern Minnesota
and South Dakota. In North Dakota the
heads are filling fairly well, but a poor
crop Is indicated and it's condition in Ne
braska is less favorable. Spring wheat
Is ripening rapidly in the sDakotas. In
Montana and Washington it is filling
well.
The Dat Harvest.
Oat harvest has progressed rapidly and
favorably. In Illinois Missouri and KAN
sas, yields are lighter than were ex-
pected but in Iowa the results are more
favorable. Rust is reported from Wis
consin, southern Minnesota, South Da-
kota and Pennsylvania.
Cotton, Tobacco, Etc.
While there has been Improvement in
cotton it's advancement is apparently less
decided than in the previous week, espe-
cially in the central and portions Of the
western districts, where rain is generally
needed Good growth Is reported from
nearly all districts but the plant contin-
ues small and is from two to four weeks
late. Boil weevil in Texas are doing little
damage. Much of the crop has received
final cultivation.
Tobacco Is needing rain in portions of
| Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky,
but is mostly doing well elsewhere.

Attic the General Opinion Is That
the Worst Is Now
Over.

New York, July 2S.-While still averse
to placing their opinions on record the
conservative banking interests practically
agree that events of the past fortnight
have done much to clear the atmosphere.
A few express further apprehension and
there are intirnations in other quarters of
a. mony stringency when crop moving
time comes. Jacob H. schiff of Kuhn,

IT think matters are gradually read

am that all serious danger is at an end
that have arranged to leave town to-
night for stay of thirty days. That, I
think, best proves my faith in the sit
uation.'
