TELEPHONE ADVANCES
ON IMPROVED DEALINGS
Renewed Interest in a Stock That One
Time Held the Center of
the Stage.

For some time past there has been an
increasing amount Of interest shown in
the stock of the Chesapeake and Poto-
mae Telephone Company and the price
has steadily advanced, though the trans
actions have been extremely limited. To-
day the buying broke out afresh and an
order for 100 shares carried the price
up TO IS. which is the highest since the
spring of 1902 and 5 points advanced
over the sales OF Saturday last. The
prosperity of the company IS given as a
reason for the renewed demand and
there is a strong belief that the resump-
ton of dividends is not far distant.

MUST INSTALL
FIRE ESCAPE
Council Will Require
Enforcement of
the Law

The enforcement Of the city ordi-
nance providing for the erection Of fire
escapes for all buildings of more than
two stories will be urged by Building
Inspector Wrighter.
The matter was brought before the
council last night by report made by
Mr.. Wrighter, showing that neither
the owners Of the Thiessen or Fix
buildings had complied with the notice
served some time ago when they We're
instructed to establish the fire es-
capes. The owners Of the Adams
building have submitted plans for
fire escape and 1t is expected such
equipment will be installed there with
In short time.
Mr.. Thiessen was seen today and
stated it was no disposition on his part
to evade the city ordinance, but some
delay has been occasioned by being
unable to procure a contractor to do
the work. Mr.. Thiessen stated he
would take up the matter at once and
would install the escape at the earliest
possible date. It is also understood
MIR, Fix excepts to equip his new
building with escapes as soon as pos
sible and no prosecutions will result
OF the cases already reported.
Buildings in Bad Condition.
The Martin Meuli building on the
corner Of Third and D streets was re-
ported for condemnation by the coun-
ellis committee and Mr.. Meuli will be
cited to appear before the council and
show cause why the building should
not be removed. The structure Is now
occupied by the Lewiston laundry.
The vollmer building on Fourth
street and occupied by the U. & l. sa-
loon has been condemned and the city
clerk was authorized to notify the pro-
prietor OF the saloon that a renewal
Of license will not be granted for that
/, building.
A culvert for the corner OF Ninth and
Seventeenth streets was authorised.
Stop Bill Posting.
An order was authorized prohibiting
the posting OF bills within the fir
| limits. An ordinance governing thti
matter has been in effect for som'
time, but has not heretofore beer
vigorously enforced. The bill poster
win be notified that this ordinance vii
hereafter be enforced.
A permit was granted to replace tn
wooden building occupied by the Gov
restaurant with tent.

BLOOD SPATTERS
ON QUEENS VEIL
Young Woman Passes
Through Trying
Ordeal

Madrid, June 1.-The officials here
are beginning to believe that two
bombs were thrown at the king and
queen and that the missiles exploded
simultaneously with one vivid flash.
An awful scene followed. Corpses.
pools of blood and wreckage strewed
the ground, and the front of the house
holes, while blood dripped from the
window curtains of the first floor
apartment of the Duke of Ahamada.
The Marchioness Tolosa and daughter
were killed.
The district was Immediately sur
rounded and several arrests made. The
police with difficulty saved several of
the prisoners from being lynched.
The coolness Of the young king was
marvellous and the courage OF the
queen was greatly admired. She was
somewhat overcome with emotion at
first, but the king soon calmed her
After recovering her self-possession
the queen bore herself well through
the ordeal.
Some people who saw the young
queen alight from the royal carriage
after the explosion say that the brida
veil touched the bloody pools on the
pavement.
The proximity Of the coach Of the
Grand Duke Vladimir in the rush te
the royal carriage at the time Of thu
explosion led many Of the spectators
to believe an attempt had been made
on his life, but it was later generally
accepted that the bomb was directed
against the king and queen.
