New York. Aug. 1.-THE past week
IN the stock market was the most SEN
sational in some years. Prices went
lower for many active issues than, in
the panic of May, 1901, and the shrink
age in values of some stocks ranged
from $15,00o,O0O to $25,000,000. The
causes which made the decline were
fear engendered by the threats Of fur
Their radical legislation by the federal
and various state governments, the
threatened money stringency and in
>dubitable evidence of recession in va
rious branches of business. Added
to this was the failure of large New
England manufacturing concern and
rumors Of similar embarrassment else
where. The local situation was fur
ther complicated by the advance in
the discount rate of the Bank Of Eng
land and the generally unsettled con-
ditions at the various Continental
money centers.

Laporte Aug .-Special-One man
was fatally injured and thousands Of
dollars worth Of merchandise was piled
in a chaotic mass on the Wabash rail-
road, near Magee. Laporte county early
this morning. when two freight trains
came into collision. The injured man
was J. H. Wolfe. brakeman of Mont
peler. Ohio. who was doing duty on
the Wabash train.
The accident occurred shortly after
midnight when west bound Wabash
freight dashed into a freight of the
Pere Marquette line at Magee. The ac-
ctdent occurred at the same point where
the Wabash Continental limited was
ditched but a few weeks ago, and the
lives of many passengers imperiled. The
engine of the Wabash train was hurled
into the ditch and the cars following
were piled in an indescribable manner
in a heap by the road side.
The cause Of the accident was the
failure of the air brake to work when
the signal was given by the engineer
