STRIKE AFFECTS GRAIN PIT.
DinncuIties Arise Over Orders and sales
Are Few.


CHICAGO. Aug. 9-On the Board Of Trade
the strike has the effect Of d~emoralizing
the grain markets. Despite he efforts Of
the Postal company communication with
other markets was TO a large extent cut OF
and the volume of business seriously
curtailed. The result was n bad slump in
prices for ali cereals. followed by extreme
dulness in all the pits.
A like condition prevailed over on the
cash side of the house. Receivers had
difficulty communicating with their GUS
toners in the country, while shippers found
I I almost impossible to negotiate business
witt Eastern buyers.
Many consignments OF grain TO this
market we're ordered held up pending the
outcome Of the strike.
The FIRST hour or 10 Of the session wit
messed heavy selling all over the floor.
Several OF the larger concerns operating
private wires sold out large quantities OF
wheat on orders sent in by spectators
from the Northwest and the East. No
effort was made TO support prices.
Quotations from outside markets came
over the Postal wires, but at rare intervals
only, and a great dea Of statistical and other
information upon which traders rely TO
guide them in operations on the market
was not available.
The effect OF the strike was apparent in
the Stock Exchange. After yesterdays
rally the unsettled condition that has pre-
vailed for the last few days returned. Trad
ing was endered difficult. There were no
operators TO transmit prices from one board
10 another. The ticker service operated by
the Western Union was silent.

SARATOGA. Aug. s.-The gamblers "
Saratoga, sour. sore and making a las

De Lacy in New York. When an attempt
was made to get them together. however.
and find a leader the threat appeared to
have been only a blum. and tonight it sp-
pears that the fght to open has been prac-
tically given up.
Hotel men were approached by the gam
blers to-day and asked to Join in the fight
TO open the clubs by making q threat IT,
close their houses il open gambling was
not permitted in Saratoga. The hotel
proprietors could not see the proposition.
The business men. although. like the hotel
proprietors, in favor of an open town, would
not Join In the threat to close the town en-
tirely, and the gamblers pursued these tao
tics no further. Then the threat Of stop
ping gambling at the track was made.
Richard Garfield is the great stumbling
block in the way OF concerted action on the
part Of the gamblers. Garfield is az anxious
as any OF them to open, but cannot be in
duced to join in any movement of a threat

Mr.. Davis and the other stranger acknowl-

without resistance.
But what have we herep' ask ed the

They stopped in a ~neighboring doorway

THAI Her Fair Share Of Trouble.

has had much trouble. was convicted yes
terday in Judge Grains court in General
Sessions Of attempted suicide. IL is the
first time In the memory OF old court
officials that a woman has been convicted
Of attempting 10 take her life. A Few times

mality Of a trial and plead guilty. At
tempted suicide is a felony.

She had been employed az a servant by
several families who had great confidence
in her. Once a ceiling fell on her. Then
she went into he business with
a relative and lost her savings. She was
overcome by gas and it was a question
whether or not she had attempted suicide.
She fell of a car and was poisoned by q
pin which was jabbed into her arm. Another
time she was found In City Hall Park, hav-
ing taken iodine.
Three times she was a patient in Bellevue
Hospital. The last time she was picked up
by a Central Park policeman after she had
taken laudanum.
The Magistrates before whom she vas
arrsigned sympathized with her n tried
to help her. Once the Grand Jury dis
missed a charge of attempted suicide against
her. Finally. after she had been found
in Central Park. Magistrate House had
DR.. Gregory. in charge Of the psyche

her. DIR. Gregory said that while she had
a pronounced case OF hysteria she was not

The girl admitted on the stand that she
had tried to kill herself. She said she had
become satisfied that she could get no
satisfaction from the world or the law for
her many troubles. and there was no use
in living.

TWO WOMEN LOST FROM YACHT
Had Gone Aboard Alone and We're Not

MISSED Tor Hours.
PROVIDENCE. Aug. Mrs. Ira Holland.
20 years old. and her cousin. Miss Hazel
Weeden. were drowned at Warwick Cove
last evening from a boat only a hundred
yards from shore. while the piazzas of
nearby cottages were filed with people,
none OF whom saw the tragedy, although
it was daylight.
II is thought that Miss Weeden fell over
board while attempting to get into the ten
der and that Mrs. Holland was drowned
in an effort to save the girl. Neither could
swim.
The two had planned to 60 to Rocky
Point. a pleasure resort. for the evening
together with Mrs. Hollands sister, Mrs
Earl Whelden. and a friend. Miss Hattie l..
English. The two girls had gone aboard
the yawl Edith. owned by Mr.. Holland. a
well known local musician, to dress. The
other two young women had gone to Rocky
Point expecting the others to join them.
Although Mrs. Holland and Miss Weeden
did not come, nothing was thought OF it
until later.
Mrs. Hollands dress belt and skirt were
found in the yacht cabin. Capt. George
yelling. who had accompanied Miss English
and Mrs. Whelden 70 the Point, succeeded
in finding Miss Weeden's body not far from
