New York Stock Market.

Wall ST., New York, Jan. 29.-STOCKs-
Opening prices Of stocks today were high
er than last night for the most, but buy
ing was a moderate scale. Reading
and Union Pacific rose large fractions.
United States Steel opened Is point higher
and the preferred was unchanged. North
ern Pacific declined pa points.
The demand for stocks was not main
tanned and some of the leaders reacted
almost a point. The United States Steel
stocks weakened sharply which created
an unfavorable market. A subsequent rise
in Reading, Amalgamated Copper and the
local traction stocks exerted good eff
feet elsewhere and there was rally to
the opening prices.
The market in its second hour was duh
and limited and prices drifted narrowly
and uncertainty. Sales showed number
of declines by noon.
Bonds were firm.
The market became quite heavy in tone
after midday. The extensive selling of the
Hartman stocks and Reading discourag
ed general buying and induced the profess
SIGNALS to put out short lines of stocks.
Union Pacific. Southern Pacific, Northern
Pacific and Reading were quoted y to rs

Little evidence of support was shown in
the action of the market prices declining

BIG MINE STRIKE IS OFF
BIRMINGHAM MINERS RETURN TO
WORK IN DISTRICT.
Official Order Places Galleries on
Non-Union Basis-Much Violence
Marked the Walkout.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. IAN of,
fetal order calling off the strike OF
coal miners in the Birmingham dis
trict was issued to all the camps in
this section Monday. 1t was signed
by President Lewis. Vice-President
White and Secretary Treasurer Ryan
Of the United Mine Workers of
America.
The end of the strike means that
practically all of the mines in the
Birmingham district will be on a non
union basis. No conferences between
officials of the union and officials of
the operators association were held
in Birmingham. 1t is known, however,
that operators take back all the men
except those who have committed acts
of lawlessncss.
The order ends a strike which began
July and which has been marked by
much violence. The official order, aft
or reviewing the history of the strike,
says:
THE climax was reached when the
governor of Alabama said that the
miners shall not be permitted to live
IN tented camps and that public meet
ing shall not be held in the mining
communities Of the state during the
strike. In other words, the strike
must end regardless of the cost to the
miners or any rights they have in the
premises"

BIG FIRE IN new ORLEANS
LOSS is BETWEEN ONE AND TWO
MILLION DOLLARS.
Supply Short-Larse Whole
sale Houses Burned.

New Orleans, Aug. 31-Fire which
broke out in the center of the CONNER
cial district Sunday afternoon swept
over portions of three blocks, destroy.
ing large number of wholesale
houses, manufacturing plants and
small stores. Originating at Bienyille
and Chartres streets, the flames
worked their way north as far as
Cont street, and west towards Royal,
bringing about loss of between one
and two million dollaSs before they
were finally subdued.
Several circumstances combined to
give the fire Roadway which proved
hard to overcome. At the time the
alarm was turned in, shortly before
three o'clock, the New Orleans fire,
men were in the midst of their annual
picnic at a suburban park, and the
engines and patrols responded with a
mere handful of men. 1t was fully an
nour before the department was in a
position to make anything like sue
cessful fight against the fire, and then
the handicap against it was added to
by an inadequate supply of water.
The fire was one of the most spec.
tacular that has occurred in New Or
leans during recent years. Two ware
houses, filled with wines and liquors,
were among the buildings destroyed
by the fire. AS thsy burned the bar
rels of whisky and brandy exploded
with thunderous roars, which could be
heard for blocks and which shook the
walls of adjoining buildings and en-
dangered the lives of firemen engaged
in fighting the flames.
1t was not until several hours had
elapsed that the fire was got under
control, and even then it continued to
burn well into the night. Among the
establishments burned were: Central
Glass company, George d. Scott, light.
ing and electrical instruments; Held
enheim, Levy & Weiss, shirt manufac-
turers; Hoohn & Dieth, wholesale mil
linery; Kost Commission company,
Paul Gelpi & Sons, wholesale liquor

and Thomas L. Harris, wholesale

desired effect upon Mr. Gentry. The
lease was completed. The stranger
signed the name of James Moore. He
would not permit Mr. Gentry to sign
as agent but insisted that he have the
signature of the owner of the prop
|erty. AS Mrs. Harris, who resides at
Evans could not be in the city before
Saturday or Monday the deal about
the lease stood as 1t was and Mr..
Moore did not pay his rent. The af-
fair seemed straight enough however
Mr.. Moore now inquired where he
might make deal for some furniture
Mr.. Gentry took the stranger to the
McGregor furniture store and intro.
duced Mr.. Moore, stating that he de-
sired to purchase several hundred
dollars worth of furniture, that he
had leased the Harris House and was
going to furnish it. Mr. Moore went
about the store with a list of the
things he desired and after taking up
considerable time in making select
ions his bill amounted to four hun
iSu anu MY III pay lllCilL vi
the bill Mr.. Moore pulled out his wad
and casually rendered a check for
four hundred and sixty-five dollars
He received the balance in cash. The
man pocketed the fifteen dollars and
disappeared. Mr.. Gentry has his
lease and Mr.. McGregor has his furn-.
iture but the cash and the man are
gone.
The man appeared to be bit lame
and a trfle hard of nearing. He was
an ordinary sort of a fellow, common
ly dressed, plain spoken, and seemed
to be frank and honest. He seemed
perfectly familiar with the business
methods and understood how to
clinch a bargain. There was nothing
about the actions of the man that
would excite suspicion, on the con-
trary,h his appearance, his actions, and
certainly the story he put up, invited
confidence.

SUDDENLY SUMMONED
Mrs. G. w. France Succumbs To
Heart Trouble.

Mrs. Margaret e. France, wife of Il.
w. France, a well known lady OF
Adams township, residing eight miles
northeast of Oskaloosa, died sudden
ly and unexpectedly last evening OF
heart trouble induced by sudden shock
on account of an injury TO her son
Charles.
Charles and his brother Walter were
breaking colt and were seated in a
breaking cart. A line broke and the
colt they were driving became UNI
manageable and ran away. The men
jumped from the cart and in alighung
Charles sustained the fracture of a leg.
He was picked up and taken to the
house. Mrs. France herself tele-
phoned for physician, but the shock
of the boy being brought home hurt,
was too much for heart that was not
overly strong and the lady collapsed
just before the physician arrived.
Death ensued almost Immediately and
nothing could be done for the sufferer.
Mrs. France is one of the best known
women of Adams township. She has
resided in Mahaska county during a
period of almost forty years and was
GA years, l month and II days of age
at the time of death.
G. w. France, the husband, is presi.
dent of the Frankel State Bank, OF
this city, and last winter With his wife
moved to the city, where they resided
until late spring, when they returned
to the farm for the summer. They
were making preparations to return
to the city within few weeks.
The deceased is survived by Mr.
France, four sons and two daughters
Cope" of Oskaloosa, Charles, Ray
and Walter France, Mrs. Mary Hanna
and Mrs. Effie McLandsborough.
The funeral is announced for Thurs.
day afternoon at 300 o'clock from the
late residence, and interment will be
made in WymOre cemetery. Many
friends in the city and country are
grieved at the announcement of the
unlocked for death and join with the
family in their sorrow. Mrs. France
was most excellent woman, of tire
less energy and determination. She
was much liked as neighbor and
friend and as a mother she was every.
thing the word implies.

HAD PLENTY OF MONEY
And He Used This Influence to Make
More.

A man who has called himself James
Moore, is wanted in Oskaloosa. The
man has been operating in this vicin-
ity with considerable degree of
success and seems to have pulled off
several fraudulent deals on local peO-
pie. The man is thought to be CON
nected with gang that recently
passed a forged check bearing the
name of Miles Prime upon Morris
Gould.
The next instance of crooked deal.
ing was with J. r. Gentry. One week
ago last Saturday, and aged appearing
man entered the Office of j. II. Gentry
on South First street. Mr.. Gentry
received the visitor who said, Il see
you have property to rent. l am
looking for a large house" In the
course of the conversation that fol
lowed the man stated that he was in
the employee of the Rock Island rail
way and was operating a gang of
eight men erecting signals at cross
ings. He wished to rent property
for term of months. Mr.. Gentry
being agent for the Harris Hotel on
Rock Island avenue took the pros
pective renter to the house and it was
just what he wanted only he would
have to get quite an amount of furni
ture to fill the rooms. At the sug-
gestion or the stranger they returned
to the office of the agent and the
lease was duly drawn. The terms
were satisfactory but Mr.. Gentry be-
ing bit dubious about the fellow
mentioned the fact that he desired to
know his financial standing. "Oh |
have the money" stated the stranger,
''and plenty of It," As il to prove his
statement, he pulled a great roll of
bills and checks from his pocket. The
sight of the big roll, which appeared
to be as big as a mans fist had the
