INCENDlARISM SUSPECTED.
Fire Discovered in the Peabody Coal
Co.'s Yards in Chicngo-Not
Much Damage Done.

Chicago, May 6.-Fire broke out, f'ri-
day night, in the coal yard of tie Pea
body Coal Co. at the intersection OF
Twenty-eighth street and the Eennsyl-
vania railroad. The damage done was
but slight, however. the total loss not
being over 5000. The flames were first
discovered by the engineer of a pass
ing locomotive, who sounded the alarm.
A large crowd soon gathered, but none
of the people would turn in an alarm
through a fire box, because of the feel
ing against the Peabody company.
which is a strong factor in the team
sters' strike. The blaze wa. seen from
a distance by a policeman, who mo-
tilted the fire department. The police
declared that the fire was caused by
an ~incendiary, but they had no direct
proof to offer of the fact.

WAVERLY BANK DEFAULTER.
Like the Milwaukee Banker, He
Poured the Money Into the
Wheat Pit.

Jefferson City, Mo-, May 4.-Later
developments in the case of the de-
funct Middleton bank of Wayerly, Mo,
convince Secretary of State Swanger
that the institution is short $500 in
stead of 100000 as was at first sup
posed.
The investigation by the state Of
ficials shows that the methods en-
ployed by the alleged ~defaulting cash
Ter, E. H. Lewis. were identical with
those pursued by Frank G.. Bigelow in
the case of the Milwaukee bank. The
money went the same way according
to report, as Lewis Is said to have
poured it into the wheat pit.
In covering up his tracks Lewis said
that certain mounts were due from
correspondent banks, and these
amounts were turned in as assets.
When the secretary of state wrote the
correspondent banks and learned that
no such amounts were held by them,
his suspicious were aroused and the
investigation followed.
The states encouragement has been
notified to wind up the affairs Of the
institution.

THE MISSOURI LED THEM ALL
Race Between Seven United Battle.
ships, in Which the Missouri
Led at the Finish.

New York, May 9.-News of the g.
hour ocean race, in which seven big
United States battleships participated,
was brought here by the battleship
Alabma, which arrived in command of
Rear-Admiral Charles H. Davis, and
will go to the navy yard to be over
hauled because of the poor showing
which she made in the contests. The
ships were coming up the coast
last Saturday, and were about 200
miles south of Cape Henry when the
word was given for a speed test. For
two hours it was nip and tuck. BY
that time excitement was running high
on board the battleships, and the speed
contest had developed into a race
Finally the Massachusetts, and the Ala
bama began to fall behind, and when
the signal ending the race was flashed
both these ships were far in the rear.
The Alabama, which has the record
of being the fastest battleship in the
navy, was fully a mile behind the Mas
sachusetts.
At the finish the battleship Missouri,
which had drawn from the others, was
only 1915 miles south of Cape Henry,
having covered 1861 miles in the eight
hours.

SERIES OF VIOLENT STORMS.
st. Louis Apparently the Center of
n Series of Violent Electrical,
Rain and Hail StOrs.

st. Louis, May ~5.-Starting about
two O'Clock Thursday afternoon, st.
Louis and vicinity was the center of
the most violent electrical, rain and
hail storms experienced for a long
time, which continued at intervals till
far into the night.
The storms of rain were intermit-
tent, lasting for but a few minutes at a
time and then recurring with appar-
emily increasing force a bit later.
During the electrical storm in the
afternoon two houses were struck by
lightning, but the flames were extin-
guished by the fire department with
but little damage being inflicted. Re-
ports from the western suburbs indi-
cate that in at least one instance the
rain fell in such volumes as almost to
amount to a cloudburst.
The First Presbyterian church of
Webster Groves was struck by light
ming about three O'Clock and a portion
of one side torn away, badly damaging
the edifice. A portion of the suburb
was flooded with about two feet of wa
ter.
During the heavy rainfall downtown
a huge piece of stone masonry weigh
ing almost a ton, separated itself from
the second story cornice of the Mer-
chants Exchange building at Third and
Pine streets and fell to the brick area,
a distance of 80 feet.
About 1900 people, mostly women,
were huddled together in the open
grandstand at the old fair grounds
race track during the heaviest storm,
1t poured down for nearly an hour,
flooding everything and everybody.
Reports from over the river indicate
that much damage vas done, especially
to the orchards and gardens, the hail
being especially heavy in the vicinity
of Edwardsville, ILL.,, in which town
several houses were struck by light
ning.
Charles Kroeger, a wealthy farmer,
living four miles north of E~dwardsville,
was killed by lightning as his family
was looking out of the window.
George Denton, seven years old, liv-
ing at No. 7035 Bruno avenue, st. Louis,
was drowned by slipping off a plank
into an excavation filed by flood wa
ter.

About $50 persons witnessed the ex-
ecution, while a large crowd stood
without the Enclosure.
At $3.50 the sheriff notified Rudolph
to prepare. 81 am ready any time you
are, sheriff." was the answer
Rudolph maintained his nerve till the
last. A few minutes after the drop
the physicians pronounced him dead.
Rudolph's body was conveyed to an
undertaking establishment adjoining
the Jail.
Father McErlane took charge of the
body and ordered that it be shipped
to st. Louis, there to be inferred in
Calvary cemetery.
William Rudolph and George Collins
robbed the safe of the Union bank. De-
tective Schumacher trailed them down,
and in a fight he was killed. Collins
was hanged q year ago.
Mrs. Eta, a midwife, made request
that she be allowed to see the execu.
ton of Rudolph.

the world, and | think I should have
the right to see him go out" she said.
Her request was refused.

TAKING A BREATHING SPELL
Trade and Industries Are Waiting
For Things to Get Settled.
Commercial, Industrial and AEricul-
turaI Conditions as Reelected
by Bradstreet's Review.

New York, May 6.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
What might be termed a breathing
spell is being taken in numerous lines
of trade and industry pending the ad-
vent of settled weather, clearer views
of the crop outturn and the settlement
OF the Chicago strike. Heavy rains
and cold weather have retarded the
corn and cotton crop preparations and
retail trade, but have rather favored
winter wheat, which fully holds the
magnificent promise Of a month ago,
while an increased area is certain in
spring wheat, which latter, however,
needs more moisture. Iron and steel
are rather quieter as regards new bust
ness, and increased Ease is noted in old
material, pig iron, and bars, but Struc-
tural material is eagerly bid for, and
large orders for railway bars guarantee
activity for the mills for months to
come. The building trades and allied
lines, such as lumber, hardware, paints
and glass, are apparently doing the
business of their lives, unchecked and
untouched by the usual May day labor
disturbances.
All statistical measures of trade
progress point to general business
showing satisfactory increases over
preceding years at this date. Bank
clearings are of enormous volume, next
to the largest ever recorded; failures
are fewer and liabilities smaller than
a year ago, railway earnings are indi-
cative of a heavy tonnage movement,
but money remains strikingly easy,

Question of Bail.

New York, May 9,-Nan Patterson's
future is still uncertain. Bail has been
provided for her, but District Attorney
Jerome has not yet decided what action
he will take in her case.
Monday afternoon, aftsy a long con-
ference with Mr.. Jerome and his as
s%istant, Mr.. Rand, Miss Patterson's
counsel was compelled to bear to the
girl in the Tombs the disappointing
news that she may have to remain in
prison for at least a week longer.
The prisoner bore the announcement
with fortitude, although she had been
led to believe that she might be grant
ed her freedom Immediately.
At least two bondsmen are said to
be ready to give bail in any reasonable
amount, and counsel for Miss Patter-
son say the surety will be provided
without delay as soon as the district
attorney expresses a willingness to &C
cept it.
Mr.. Jerome is in no hurry to take
action in the matter.

Dark Regarding Naval Progress.
Toxic, May S.-Assuming that Vice
Admiral R~ojestvensky meditates a
speedy junction of his squadron with
Vice-Admiral Nebogatoff's division, it
is believed here that a meeting of the
ships may be expected by May 3,
the speed of Nebogatoff's division be-
ing only about seven knots an hour.
These ships are believed to be in need
of coal and stores, and their deficien-
cies in this respect probably will be
supplied by Vice-Admiral R~ojestvensky
at some friendly port after the two ad-
mirals effect a a juncture.
The future movements of the Rus
sian Pacific squadron is a matter OF
