NARROW ESCAPE
OF A SOLDIER
ONLY THE BRAVERY OF A LIEU.
TENANT SAVED HIM.

New York, April 24-Private George
Slater of Company e, Eighth United
States Infantry, stationed at Cover
nors Island, had narrow escape from
death tonight at the terminal pier of
the Pennsylvania railroad in Jersey
City. He owes his life to the quick
action and bravery of Lieut.. A. l..
Halpin, of the same company.
Company e left Governors Island
on the tug Wyckoff for Jersey City en-
route to Wilkesbarre. On account of
the low tide the soldiers had to climb
from the boats rail to the pier.
Slater lost his footing and fell in
to the water. Weighted down with his
equipments he sank Immediately
Lieutenant Halpin, who was still on
the tug, jumped ouside the rail. and
stopping down, waited for Slater to
reappear. The tug was humping and
grinding against the pier, and when
Slater came to the surface, he was be-
tween the boats side and one Of the
projecting piles. An instant before
he would have been crushed to death
Lieut.. Halpin seized him by the hair
and drew him out of danger With
the aid of the soldiers ne pulled Slat-
er on board the tug. When Lieut..
Halpin climbed back over the rail the
men gave him three cheers. The com
pany proceeded without Slater, who

FIERCE WHEAT SELLING

Chicago, April 24.-7'here was the
flercest selling Of wheat today since
the liquidation Of the Gates lines be-
gan last Wednesday. From 81, the
resting point for the May price after
the crash of Saturday, the market was
swept down to 92h two hours after
the opening.
First trades were SO to SO cents, and
Valentine was giving the market
heroic support. He could not start
rally for minute. The trade suspected
him of wishing to bolster the market
to make a spot to sell the balance of
the Gates millions of May wheat.
Wheat was poured into the pit from
many quarters. When it was found
that support was useless the clique
houses got the signal to unload on the
sinking market. This carried the May
price down quickly to 95 cents, the first
hour, and to 921A cents an hour later.
There was new fear for wheat
bulls. The trade had loaded up with
July wheat because the Armour house
had bought 100000 bushels for that
month last week. The pit detected
move of the big leaders to get out, and
the price dropped from S61s to S5s un-
der big general sales, and this fright
ened the pit traders into dumping their
holdings. Their selling forced the July
to S4&, two cents under Saturdays
close, a more important feature to 80
percent of the trade than the smash in
the May price.
All talk of anything except complete
liquidation of all the Gates May hold
ings and complete sweeping away of
all lines by those who were trailing
after the big operator is now said to be
idle. May wheat sales today were any
where from 100000 to 100000 BUSH
els. The break in the price was ~
cents. The bottom point this morning
ranged close to 80 cents under top and
at one time was % cents under the top
price where Gates began getting out
four days ago
There have been settlements in the pit
in that time, possibly 10000, 900 bush
els of May wheat, besides possible pri-
vate settlements of 100000 bushels.
