STRANGE PHENOMENON.
Cloud Of Phosphoric Appearance En-.
veIops Vessel at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 1.-The Brit
ish ship Mohican while making for the
Delaware Breakwater has encountered
strange phenomenon. A cloud of
phosphoric appearance envelOped the
vessel, magnetizins everything on
board. Capt. Urquhart says the vessel
and crew had fiery coating.
when the sailors saw it," said the
captain, they rushed to the needle and
it was flying around like an electric
fan. l ordered several of the crew to
move some iron chains that were lying
on the deck, thinking to distract their
attention. The sailors could not bulge
the chains, although they did not weigh
more than IS pounds each.
Everything was magnetzed and
chains, bolts, spikes and bars were as
tight on the deck as if they had been
riveted there. The cloud was so dense
that it was impossible for the vessel
to proceed. l could not see beyond the
decks. 1t appeared as if the whole
world was mass of glowing fire. The
sailors fell on the decks and prayed
Suddenly the cloud began to lift. The
phosphorescent glow on the ship and
the crew began to fade. In few min
utes the cloud passed over the vessel
and we saw it moving off over the

LETTERS COAL CUTTER
Will Do Great Work, It Is Claimed, If
He Can Float It.

Chicago. Aug. 1.-Strange stories,
doubted by some, are in circulation
about Joseph Letter and the strike at
Zeigler, ILL.,, and the conduct of the
business of the young Chicago million
aire in the Illinois coal fields.
Mr.. Letter, it is asserted, although
cutting the wage scale that has been
in existence throughout the district for
several years by nearly SO per cent.
declared to the miners that he had dis
covered new process of mining coal
by which every man working in the
mines would earn $3.50 per day.
"Tve got machine that will cut 500
tons of coal in eight hours" Mr.. Letter
Is said to have told the wondering and
incredulOus miners. "In a short time
my mines will have an output of at
least 10000 tons per day."
He believes that he will soon be
able to pay miners and workers salaries
larger than most bank presidents get
said H. c. Perry of Spring Valley. Il
have carefully investigated all of Mr..
Letters claims and l believe they are
absurd"

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Aug. 1.-The extreme dull
ness of todays stock market was quite
evidently due to the closing of the Lon
don stock market and was testimony to
the Importance attached to that market
as an index of international political con-
ditions. Slight pressure to realize after
the opening was absorbed without diff
Guilty and left the way open for the
creeping upward movement of prices
which followed. In this the grangers and.
Pacihcs were the leaders. The substan-
tial increase in net earnings for June
over last year reported by the Atchison
was helpful to the movement
The sharp increase in the grain move
ment and some large foreign buying re-
ported of corn were received with salts
faction. The Eastern railroads and the
coalers were less affected, probably ow
ing to the shutting down of the anthra-
cite collieries for a week from today. The
movement in United States Steel preferr-
ed held the later market in face of some
profit taking and made the closing firm.
Only few of the prominent stocks NOV
ed as much as a point

sales. par value. $4,000. United States
