MAKING BIG MONEY.

Chicago, May 8 Representative OF
the striking teamsters at a meeting of
the joint council have pledged $4,000
a week to aid the drivers.
Enlarged proportions were given the
teamsters' strike today from both sides
of the huge struggle. Contrary to ex-
pectation, the employers were the first
to take aggressive action. All the team
sters of the Crerar-CHnch company.
which has coal contracts with many of
the buildings 0nd firms, went on strike
today. The company had ordered a
load of coal delivered to Carson, Prize
Scott & Co., large mercantile firm
which has been involved in the strike
complications for some time past. The
first teamster ordered to make a deliv
cry to the involved firm was discharged
for refusing to deliver coal All other
teamsters employed by the Crerar-
CHnch company Immediately struck
1t was said the effect of the new
spread Of the strike might be to leave
many of the talIest office buildings
without coal to run elevators.
Among the buildings and firms with
which the Crerar-Clinch company had
contracts are: Board of Trade, Corn
Exchange, Traders, Lexington hotel.
Rookery, Rialto, Marshall Field & Co.,
Bartholomew, ROesing Brewing COM
pany, Bartholomew-Leicht Brewing
company.
Women Are Attacked.
Brutality in the strike today began
with fight and panic in a crowd. Wo-
men, who it is said, were mistaken for
strikebreakers, were assaulted and Sc
verely beaten. They were taken to the
county hospital The affair occurred on
a TWenty-siXth street car at Twenty
sixth street and Stewart avenue. When
the fight began the passengers, panic
stricken, fed from the car. One of the
men hurt was Edward Boswell, a color
ed medical student. His companion was
w James, also colored. The men who
committed the assault escaped before
the police arrived.
More than 100 subpoenas were
placed in the hands of United States
deputy marshals to be served on VIC
laters of federal court injuncttons is
sued yesterday Men taken into Gus
tody are to be cited to appear before
Master in Chancery Sherman Friday.
Counsel for the Employers associa-
ton will use evidence obtained at the
hearing to urge wholesale indictments.
Curry Is Out of 1t.
Strike Breaker Frank Curry. the man
with the iron nerve was today report
ed as definitely out Of the fight as he did
not appear today and 1t was said that
in all probability Curry win not be able
to take further part in the strike His
injuries, while not fatal, are exceeding
" serious and his associates say that
he will lose the sight of his left eye.
The blow that caused the injury came
from a cobblestone. He has a cut di-
rectly beneath the eye, and the eyeball
is affected. Curry also has a deep cash
two inches long behind the right ear.

VICTIMS OF MORPHINE.
Fifty Chinese Die in a Week Before
Cause Is Discovered.

San Francisco, May 3.-The steam
ship Coptic brings news of many
deaths in the inland country of China
According to a story from Annoy it has
been the custom to smuggle morphia
into the country as the duty on the
drug was very high. Recently num-
Der of boxes of the drug were Snug
gled in inside shipment of flour. In
some manner the boxes broke, causing
the deadly drug to become mixed with
the flour.
Instead of the flour being condemn
ed, the stuff was sold to the up-coun-
try districts. Within a week people
began to die in large numbers and for
nearly a month the Chinese We're dying
from the poison administered in ap-
parently the most mysterious manner
It is estimated that fully fifty people
died from the poisoning.

WHEAT-An things considered, the
wheat market acts as if it was going to
do better. The visible supply now in the
United States IS down to q, 061000 bushels,
or I,46S, 900 bushels less than is claimed by
what is called the American visible sup
ply Theorists and bear spectators con-
teEd on making the American visible Is
wheat is in Canada and is subject to .
cents duty before it can be brought into
the United States. Cash prices of wheat
are advancing: best grades today show &c
better than yesterday. The present situa-
ton 1ustihes the purchase OF July ana
September wheat on all recessfons.
CORN-The strength OF the corn mar
ket is showing is surprising the bears.
The visible is decreasing literally, re-
ceipts are small, shipments large and
prices higher. 1 would buy July and Sep
TENDER corn on all weak spots, but take
moderate profits for the present.
ONISIONS-Provisions do not act
strong and the market does not seem to
be as well supported as it ought to be. L
look for lower prices on pork.

Hill. the aged wife murderer. was
hanged today shortly after IL O'Clock
Hill said he was reaoy to meet God.
His neck was broken by the fall, but
the body was allowed to hang forty
minutes.
The crime for which Hill suffered
the death penalty was the murder of
his wife, Kate Hill, in July, 1903
Hill had repeatedly threatened his
wites life, because of divorce proceed
ings instituted by her, and 1t was de-
veloped at the trial that she had lived
in continual dread of her husband. On
the night of July IL. 1903, while Mrs.
Hill was attending TO her twin babies,
she was shot through window, death
ensuing instantly. Suspicion at once
conferred on Hill as the guilty party,
and he was placed under arrest. At
the trial the evidence was wholly cir
cumstantlal, but of such convicting
certainty that a verdict of guilty W 8
rendered ny the jury. The Supreme
Court reversed the decision of the
lower court and new trial was or.
dered A second jury found Hill guilty
and he was again sentenced to death,
Gov. Cox granted the unfortunate
man a 30-days reprieve, which ended
today. when he paid the penalty fol-
