REFINED.-The features of the week
were not important. The demand is
seasonable and large for both with
drawaIs and new business, the latter
more noticeable early in the week than
at the close, when shading of prices
continues by some refiners, notwith-
standing a general looking for more
firmness on the fact that all refiners
are oversold for immediate delivery.
New Orleans is shading prompt ship

The Federal refinery is engaged in

doing fairly good business at full

Katherine Griffin's Story Unim portant

cropping in the dark" said Mayor Smith.
Every theory the detectives have work
ed on has been exploded" This is un-
derstood TO mean that the Bedford bust
ness man who left the Johnson boarding
house for home shortly before Miss Scha-
fer on the night of the murder, IS no
longer suspected. The report that Miss
Katherine Griffin. of Lafayette, Ind,
was to be brought to Bedford in the be-
lief that she might identify this man.
as the one who assaulted her near the
scene of the murder. is unfounded. On
cials attach no Importance to the young
woman's statement. Mayor Smith re-
ceived a letter fron William Wallace
Simms, dated at Louisville, in which the
writer says he recovered the body of the
murderer OF Miss Schafer from the Ohio
River, mile below New Albany, Ind,
and offers to turn the body over to the
Bedford authorities if given the reward
offered for the mans capture. During
the investigation of the grave robberies
Mt indianapolis, many letters signed with
the same name were received by the po-
lice of that city, and ne credence is
given this one.

Cotton Prices.

The price of cotton reached IS cents
a pound the other day in New Orleans.
which is the highest paid for the staple
since 1S75-29 years. The advance that
day was so points, or S4 a bale. In 10
days it jumped $50 points, or an increase
of $3.50 bale The first week in Oc-
tober the advance started in.
In the first decade after the Civil War
the South produced yearly 100000 500
uouud bales of cotton at n cents a
pound, which yielded S300,000,000. In
the second decade there was a yearly
production of 100000 bales at u cents.
which yielded, also $300,000,000. In the
third decade there were each year TO-
100000 bales at & cents, which yielded
also $500, 100000 But the fourth decade
after the Civil War the tide has turned.
Tie average yearly yield becomes TO-
100000 bales at II cents a pound, or
total of 5000, 100000.

Relatives of Henry Sears in To,edo,

asking that an effort be made to find the
man WHO. they say, was fond of going to
theaters- They believe that he lost his
life in the Iroquois Theater fire, as he
has not written to them for over a month.
The Chicago police have also been asked
to search the city for arerce +. Boss,
formerly of Iowa City, Iowa, who is
said to have frozen his toes several years
ago. The young man came to Chicago
year ago and has neglected to write to
his mother. Mrs. Boss says that her son
was always .ood boy and wrote to her
regularly e,cn week, but she has not
heard from him for long time. Ber-
nard Powers, 10 years old, who ran away
from his home in Saranac, Mich, several

Both Over go Years Old. Burned to
Death in Their Home.
David Hinchlif and his wife. the for
mer IS years old, the latter 50. were
burned to death in a fire which started in
their little cottage, in the rear of 27S
West Huron street, Chicago. at a. m.
They were alone in the house and there
was no one to lend them aid in reaching
safety. The fire is supposed to have start
ed from an overheated oil stove in their
bedroom. When the FIRE department ar
rived at the cottage the room was in
flames and the old man and his wife
were dying of their burns. Firemen car
ried them TO the street. but neither ~ain-
ed consciousness. G. Walters, who lives
in the building on the front of the lot,
left his home by the rear way, and saw
smoke issuing from the doors and win
dows OF the little cottage Realizing the
danger to the man and wife, Walters
rushed to the house and kicked the door
down. He was confronted by mass of
flames and smoke in the hallway. He
entered, however. but was unable to aid
the man and his wife. As the flames
were waited aside he could see Hinchliff
and his wife on their bed, apparently
dead. Walters then turned in an alarm
of fire.

How Din They start?

How did the flames gain such head
way? How did the FIRE start? Why was
it not checked? Between breathing spells
citizens and officials asked these ques-
tons. None could make satisfactory re-
ply. All admitted that business in Bal
timore would be paralyzed for months;
that firms whose standing in the CONNER
cial world has been ''gild-edged' are
nearly penniless. that many others have
been ruined; that an unknown number
of people will be out of employment.
This much is known--the first sight of
a blaze was in the basement OF the Hurst
concern. An automatic fire alarm APP
paratus in the big building registered an
alarm at 10:4S o'clock, and within two or
three minutes at the most the salvage
corps, located only half block away,
was on the scene ahead of the city de-
partlnent. The fire captain observed at
once that TIE confagration promised to
be extraordinarily serious. and his men
worked at top speed. The supply Of
water was not sufficient to quench the
constantly growing mass OF flames.

The police, powerless to cope with loot
ers, appealed for help. Two local regi-

two troops of United States regulars
from Fort McHenry came to watch prop
erty and arrest thieves.
The whole city was notified of the con-
flagration by the terrific explosion, which
occurred some minutes after IL a. m. A
sharp, splitting roar went mp with re-
verberating thunder. This was followed
BIZ a peculiar whistling noise. like that

the central section of the city were filled
with worshipers, many of whom became
frightened, and, while no panics ensued,
hundreds of men and women left their
seats and went outside to see what had
happened
In few moments the streets aud
pavements all over the city were crowded
with excited people. Another deafening
crash occurred and dense columns Of Gin
ders and smoke shot up over the central
section of the city and in a huge brown
column moved rapidly toward the north

counties also arrived as soon as possible.
some of the apparatus travelling a dis
lance OF thirty miles and more Water
plugs in every section within a radius of
half mile from the fire were in use
and it is roughly estimated that there
were $50 hose all playing at one time
upon different parts of the confagration.
Owing TO the great congestion of fire
apparatus, the crowds of people and the
general confusion many of the engines
from out of town were unable to find a
