OELWEIN, Iowa, Jan. ia coro-
ner's jury is today investigating a trag-
edy that occurred yesterday in the Ho-
tel Mealey. Lou Carr was found dead
in bed and his wife in semi-conscious
condition. Both had two bullet wounds.
Night Clerk Edom heard five shots
fired in rapid succession, and, with
Marshal Sager, made an investigation.
which resulted in the discovery. Carr
was found dead in bed with one bullet
hole in his temple and another in the
cheek. just above the mouth.
Mrs. Carr was able to open the door
for the night marshal, but swooned
soon after. Medical attendance wa,
called and she was removed to her
home, where she now lies in a critical
condition. One bullet pierced her left
lung and the other barely missed the
heart and passed out under the RIGHT
shoulderblade
Who Fired the Shots,
Domestic trouble is ascribed as the
cause of the tragedy. Carr left his
nome two weeks ago and has since
peen at the hotel Mrs. Carr Went there
late Saturday and went to his room
and there waited for his coming.
VINO fired the shots is not Lnou,,
but in the event of her recovery. more
hght Will be thrown On the mystery.
Carr was barber having come
mere from Des Moines two wears AGO

and steady in his habits. He made
many friends.
Mrs. Carr is a striking brunette and
mas oeen married twice, having one
child by ner first husband, a son about
Is years of age. This son has been re.
ported to be the cause of a great deal
'f the domestic friction.
An autopsy showed that one bu,,et
entered the left temple, penetrated the
oraln and passed out behind tho right
EAR. The other one entered tho right

BACKING THE NORTH COAST
ROAD.
Union Pacific Representative Says
Road Will Not Appear Until Line
Is Completed.

There has been much surmise in the
railroad world as to which railroad is
back of the North Coast railroad.
When the council of Seattle was
asked three weeks ago to grant fran
chise to this railroad, the statement
was made by James A. Kerr, the attor-
ney representing the railroad interests.
that a strong transcontinental line was
behind the project of the North Coast
railroad, and that the name Of this
road would be made public in a few
weeks.
According to a Chicago dispatch it
was stated authoritatively by a Harri-
man official that the Union Pacific is
behind the North Coast road project.
Will Be in Background.
1t was said however, that the Union
Pacific will not appear in the matter at
first, but probably the Northwestern
will be announced as the road that is
building this extension, and only after
it is built and in operation the Union
Pacific will take it over.
The North Coast has a franchise
from southeast of Walla Walla through
North Yakima to Seattle, and it lies in
good position to connect with the
new western extension of the North
western, which is now building
What strengthens the statement that
it is Northwestern Union Pacific pro-
ject is the fact that the Milwaukee
road has recently announced it's de-
cisiOn to extend to Seattle
The belief became settled in the west
that this road was a project of the
Goulds, and was intended simply as a
North Coast extension, just as the
Western Pacific is South Coast ex-
tension. Whenever this belief has been
suggested to a Gould representative
it was met with unqualified denial.
One Of Mr. Gould's closest lieuten-
ants has said that the Gould interests
are not interested in any North Pacific
coast extension at present, and that
their hands are full with the projects
already On hand

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The increase in the volume of the busi-
ness of the city during the twelve months
which closes today is brought out In a
striking way in the summary OF the
transactions Of the clearing house OF the
city, which has been prepared by Mr
Ezra d. Parker. the manager of the asso-
citation.
These figures show, Of course. the busi-
ness that passes through the clearing
house, the membership of which Is con-
fined to the national banks of the CITY,
but as the trust companies and other in
situations clear through the members. the
totals give very good idea of the entire
volume of the business. 49,.
The closing year Is conspicuous IN tne
history of the clearing houses as showing
the largest total Of any previous year IRE
following table gives by months the ciear.
ings of the association for the year Jus.
ended and also for the previous year. As
will be seen. the figures make the increase
over $36.OO0,0O0.

The widespread feeling of sympathy ana
sorrow which the railroad disaster OIL yes
terday aroused in this city was SHOWN III
part at the meeting of the stock exchanse
today AS soon the members hao 40
sembled for the daily call Mr.. Bell moHeu
that in view of the great calamity which
had fallen upon so many Oh ther ~"
| citizens as mark of respect the usual can
be omitted.
| This was at once recognized as not only
appropriate. but as being in ACCORDANCE
| with the feeling of the members, ana the
resolution was adopted.
The year which has come to an end Win
the close of business today has not peen
one of much prosperity from the stanopoili.
of what has been done by the members OF
the stock exchange. In fact, no doubt the
record would show in the case or most OF
the brokers that the volume or the ousi-
ness credited to each one during the past
twelve months has not been equal to That
which was done during the months of 1893.
For large portion of the past year the
| market has been stationary, ana while
there has been no demand Tor the securities
yet for the most part there has been no
pressure to sell. The consequence Is there
have been comparatively slight changes
made in the quotations, although In Inc
case of some OF the more active stocks
which for one reason or another came upon
the market from time to time there has
been a recession in the prices. so that
compa rison of figures for this month and
1Or the corresponding HOntu Ol last year
| would undoubtedly show falling back 10
lower level.
| The difficulty with the market here, as
has been the case with the stock market
in other centers has been the tightnesS of
| money. so that lower figures in the case of
securities listed on the local exchange does
| not mean that there has been any deprecia-
ton In values.
1t Is estima ted that the interest and divi-
| dend payments that will be made during
| the coming month. and mainly on the first
| day, aggregate over 5000, C00.O0O This Is
said to be the largest sum that was ever
| paid out on this account. These pay
! ments. in some Instances marking an in
| crease over previous years and in others
extra dividends in the beginning of such
an outlay, are looked upon another in
| dication Of the prosperity of the year that
| is closing.
| At the same time the value of railroad
| and industrial stocks dealt in In the New
York market shows a decrease, which is at
| tributed to lack of confidence on the part
| of the public. The business lost to that lot
| has resulted it is thought. in activity in
! real estate and in mining stocks. The lat
| ter is reported to have reached larger pro-
| portions than ever before in the history of
! the country.

CHICAGO. December 31-Defects in the
present system of enforcing the law BY
which the persons held as responsible foc
the Iroauois disaster have for three years
escaped trial. and the need OF a personal

Memorial Association yesterday.
A note Of encouragement crept into the
address OF ]. o. Prdmore, the newly elect

thering of the chief aim of the organiza-
tion-that of building a suitable memorial

Quotations for Loans.

The renewal rates on standing loans were
fixed In the neIghborhood of % per cent.
and during the la: ger part of the business
session money on call ruled between Is and
26 per cent. In view of the general circum-
stances Of the monetary situation and the
period of the year the prevailing rates for
money could not. however, be considered as
very remarkable. Wednesdays disburse-
ments for interest and dividend have been
estimated at about S1S0.0O,oO0. and the ar
rangernents for the payment of such sum
naturally involved a general shifting ABOUT
of loans on call There were, in tact, no
quotations for loans OF this character until
after 1l:lJ am.
There was very little news of general
Importance over Sunday. or with the
course of the business session, that did
not have more or less relation to money
market affairs. The banks began the
week with a small loss in their opera
lions with the subtreasury. and on ac-
count of the prepayment of the interest
on the government debt are not apt 10
fare much better In their transactions
with that institution during the re-
mainder of the week. In addition there
was transferred to the subtreasury today
$500 900 to San Francisco.
