the Sailors. The latter got thick coats
of whitewash, but the Bronchos only
succeeded in getting one of their number
over the plate, and that happened in the
ninth inning. Both Case and Carrick,
the opposing pitchers, did splendid work
in the box and both were brilliantly sup

Wholesome Activity, With No Indca-
tion of Reaction.
New York, Aug. 25.-R. G. Dun's
weekly review of trade says:
Wall street provided the only i'm
portant development in the business
situation during the past week, prices
of securities rising within an average
of 81 per share Of the high record es-
tablished last January, while the gen.
eral public became interested to an
extent that lifted money rates for all
periods to the legal maximum. Trade
reports indicate wholesome activity,
with no evidence of reaction, even those
industries that are of necessity quiet
at this season contributing to the gen
eral confidence by reports of large
orders in sight. AS the vacation sea-
son draws to an end there is gradual
resumption of idle machinery, and,
with the opening of many new fur
naces, all records of iron production
will bersurpassed in the fall.

THE NEW VALPARAISO.
Wrecked City Will "Rise Like phe-
nix From Its Ashes"

tttA s<iSfH teS ESHcos
Valparaiso, Aug. 25.-As the result of
the splendid courage of the people and
with the cooperation of the city gov
ernment, Valparaiso will be rebuilt
within a few years on finer and more
beautiful lines than before the disaster
of Aug. 16.
The rain caused most of the people
to desert the tents which they have oc-
cupied since the earthquake and return
to their houses. Almost all the walls
are cracked, but there was no violent
earth tremors during the night or day.
Many of the people had to walk long
distances carrying their bedclothes on
their shoulders.
There are no confiagrations, but the
blowing up of damaged and dangerous
structures with dynamite continues,
und loud explosions are frequently
heard Otherwise the town has as
sumed an almost normal appearance.
Many business houses have been re-
opened.

weeks ago against the Standard Oil
company and the Pennsylvania in the
matter of discriminating rates for oil
shipped by the Standard from Olean
to Burlington, VT All of such ship
ments were over the Pennsylvania
from Olean to Rochester; over the New

wood, N. Y, and over the Vermont
Central from Norwood to its destina-
ton.
The latest indictment specifies that
the New York Central made special
rate to the Standard from Rochester
to Norwood of 8 cents per hundred
weight, while such rates were not
given to other shippers, nor was a
schedule of the same fled with the in
terstate commerce commission.
