DRAMATIC MURDER

Tiflis, Caucasia, Monday via st.
Petersburg, Jan. 30.-The murder to
day of General Griaznoff, chief-oe-
staff of the viceroy of Caucasus, was
most dramatic and audiciOus. The as
sassin evidently had studied the
habits of his victim and lay in wait
behind the wall of the Alexander gar

ace where a carriage was drawn IN
to take the general for his daily drive.

the crime concealed in a paint can.
AS the general stepped into the car

swung the can by cord and the
bomb as If thrown from sling with
marvellous precision, sped straight to
the mark and struck the general on
the neck. A flash of fire and a terri

was literally blown out of the car

BREAK IN MARKET.
Turning Point Is Expected Soon-Buy-
ing Fever Strong.

New York, Jan. 3O.-Speculation
continues on an active and somewhat
feverish scale; Indications multiplying
daily that the market is rapidly ap-
preaching a truning point. Efforts to
force prices to still higher level con-
tinue with unabated vigor, and stocks
are being bought by the public with
increasing avidity and with little re-
gard to intrinsic value.
Meanwhile the buying fever is being
carefully nurtured, and is not confined
to New York, but extends to all parts
of the country; uch larger propor-
ton of stock exchange business today
being over the wire than ever before.
These heavy speculative ovements are
often being conducted by an entirely
new and wealthy class of operators.
many of whom are young and inexper-
fenced men with lots of money, plenty
of nerve, but slight experience and i'm
mature judgment.
On the other hand, it is very sig
nifiicant that many of the shrewdest
and wealthiest operators of long and
tried experience have been steadily
selling stocks. Even investors strong
boxes have been much depleted during
the last month, for shrewd buyers
have recognized the unusual condi-
tons, turned their holdings into cash
and are now awaiting an opportunity
level, which will surely develop be-
fore any great length of time.
While it is quite possible that prices
may be carried to higher leve: be-
fore reaction sets in, the technical PC
sition of the market is growing in
creasingly hazardous; and, since
stocks are rapidly passing into weak
hands, and the market stands exposed
to severe break as soon as any
severe strain Is encountered, such AZ
renewed stringency in money, or un-
expected disaster of any kind.
Just now the financial skies are
cloudless, and the only unsettling feat
ures are the frequent reactions in
duced by persistent inside realizing.

"a Story Of Hardships More

ONE MAN GOES CRAZY
And Leaps Overheard But !. Com.
panion Rescues Him After
Hard Tussle. \

Boston, Jan. 3O.-After having been
adrift in dOry for four days With
out food or drink, Charles Matheson
of this city and Charles Hemecn of
Shelburne, N. s., two fishermen, were
picked up by the fishing schoe ner
Flora s. Nickerson and brought to
this port today. Both men were un-
conscious in the Lotion or their t.s.t
when the schooner ca,aa up to 1t aud
they still were in 4 ser!0.,s condition
as a result of their experience when
they reached here. The men belonged
to the fishing schooner Qrannapowitr.
which they lost in the fog last Tues
day and they drifted more than 2cO
miles from the fishing grounds when
found by the Nickerson. 81
Matheson was able to today to tell
the story Of, their hardships which
= were more terrible than any recently
reported from the fishing grounds. He
said:
I'VE went out last Tuesday from
the Quannapowitt and could not find
Oup way back on account of the fog.
Tuesday night we anchored Wednes-
day morning there was a northeast
gale. One huge wave wrenched away
the oars. Another sea swept Hemeon
overheard, but l caught him and pull
ed him back. #.
"All Wednesday night and all day
Thursday we were driven in the
teeth Of the gale. Thursday night
Hemeon went out Of his mind. No
food or water made our suffering ter
rible. HemeOn raved and accused
me of not using him right and then
he leaped over the side of the dory. /
jumped after him and after. a hard
time got back into the dory and got
him in.
After that" said Matheson, "Heme-
on was unconscious and had no
further trouble from him.
Thursday afternoon i sighted a
steamer and two fishing schooners
but they did not see the signals 1
made. Friday night when thought
a passing steamer had heard my cries
she suddenly increased her speed and
went out of sight. After that thought
sure the sea would get us and on
Saturday the Nickerson found us"
On the same day that Matheson
and Hemeon became lost, sixteen
other men of the Quannapowitt who
were out fishing in dories also went
astray but they were all picked up
safe by another vessel and landed
here last Friday On Saturday the
Quannapowitt herself came to port,
having been brought through gale
by the captain, cook and one sailor.
