ROBBER TOOK BEST
 AT MOSLEY & SONS
Smashed His Way in With an AK and Then Selected $1s0 Worth in
 Clothing and Dry Goods to Suit His Taste.

Sometime during Saturday night someone used an ak to gain admittance to Moseley X Sons store and about $l50 worth of clothing and dry goods were stolen.
 The robbery was not discovered until about 1 o'clock Sunday, when Leslie Moseley went by the store on his return tome from church. He immediately notified the police and began the work of finding out the amount of the loss.
 The officers got two dogs and tried to get on the trail of the robber, but were unsuccessful on account of the faintness of the scent, due to the number of peo- pie who had walked over it. No trace has yet been found of either the goods or robber.
 The man who did the work must have had large family or else he wished to start dry goods store. He took four suits of clothes, nine pairs of trousers and seven pairs Of shoes, besides a number ot overalls, suits of uu x derwear. shirts, hats and uecktles and several full bolts of calico. l In the 50 cent necktie case he lett just three neckties. MT. Moseley said that the store looked very much as if It had been turned over. The robber must have been very particular about what he took, for when he got hold of anything he didn't want he threw it on the floor. The loss at first was thought to be about $2O0 but after closer examinati 'u Lit was thought that $50 would cover i'.

SHADEuP OF the PHIlLIES
Reported As ABOUT DUE

Philadelphia, June 13.-Something is
due to happen in the camp Of the
Phillies soon. Murray has made up
his mind that something must be done
quickly. He is getting himself and all
his resources together for a recasting
of the team.
He will put out two scouts this week,
put lines in every promising direction,
and move every lever he can reach to
bring about change of the discourage
ing conditions that have obtained at
Broad and Huntingdon streets for
weary weeks.
Murray's primary need is hitting out
feeders. They are not easy to get, but
he means to land them. Money is not
the consideration, or they would have
been in Philadelphia before this Man
ayers want so much in trades for sea-
soned men that Murray has been block
ed hitherto in his efforts to get big
leaguers. BY this time, however, the
youngsters in the bush and minor
leagues have begun to show, and it is
in that field Murray, expects to get
material.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, July 13.-The narrow limits
of the current stock market were mark
edly strong today with the effect of so
discouraging the professional element
that they seemed tempted to abandon
their operations. The stagnant conditions
of the later market were the consequence.
The net result broadly speaking was to
undo the movement of Monday. Much i'm

United States Steel and it was consid-
cred good omen when it sold at the
opening at 20, after it's many cop ap-
breaches and retreats in the neighhorhood
of that figure yesterday. Reasons for the
caution with which the market managers
of the stock approached that price were
disclosed by the developments which fol-
lowed. No appreciate amount of stock
was marketed at 20, the first 1000 shares
scld simultaneously being quoted together
at 69a to 70. After the opening a single
hundred shares sold at TO- Immediately

pointed to by market comment as pos

extent proved that very heavy selling

ment when the signal should be given.

The news of the day offered small ex-

owes much to the cheapness and plenty

Boothbay Harbor Me, July ia
strong southwest wind and compare
lively clear weather enabled the East
ern Yacht Club fleet to work still farth-
err to the eastward today, but heavy
fog banks off the outer Maine islands
prevented the fleet from reaching the
Penobscot, though a pleasant harbor
was made here for the night. Tomor-
row the yachts will try to resume rae
ing with a 3O-mile run into Penobscot
bay and to harbor in Kents cove to-
morrow night
When the yachts started this after
noon from New Meadows river the fog
which prevented racing yesterday still
held thick off shore. 1t was therefore
decided to make a cruising run, rath-
err than racing event. While the
weather cleared later in the day and
racing would have been possible. still
the yachtsmen had an enjoyable sail
around Seguin island and up the
Sheepscot bay to this port. The en-
tire fleet of more than score of yachts
participate in the days run, and when
the squadron arrived it found snugly
at anchor several other yachts which
had preceded on Sunday.
Anchored well out in the harbor and
the first to greet the fleet as it entered
was the sturdy schooner yacht Hoosier
of Gloucester, owned by Col William
r. Nelson of Kansas City. Col Mel
son, who made a great run on Satur-
day and came round from Portland
under severe conditions on Sunday,
greeted the fleet upon it's arrival to-
day in his usual cordial manner. The
fleet arrived about the middle Of the
afternoon and the balance of the day
was occupied in taking on stores, as it
was planned not to stop at Rockland
tomorrow. The yachtsmen were ex"
tremely anxious to resume racing, and
numerous private matches. in addition
to that between the schooners Taor-
nina and Irolita. were arranged.
This harbor has seldom held such q
large fleet of yachts as that which
hauled down it's colors with the COM
modore's gun at sunset tonight. For

The fact that Welsh won on foul

marked. He did most of the leading
