THIRD VICTIM OF
 BOATHOUSE FIRE
One Fatally and Two Are Seriously Burned Trying to Rescue
 the Girls

Nantucket, Mass, June 25.-Thomas Kerr of New York and Thurlow Weed Barnes, Jr., of Albany, N. Y., are still in a critical condition as a result of the burns sustained in the fire which de- stroyed the house boat of young Barnes father, William Barnes, last night There was reason for hope to- night however, that their injuries will not prove fatal.
 Miss sdelen Wilson of New York and Miss Mildred Dehaven of Brooklyn were burned to death and Ulysses Pahud, 21 years old. butler and valet Of the Barnes family, succumbed late last night to his injuries, largely received in heroic unsuccessful efforts to save the young women. The latter in their eff forts to escape had rushed through a door which led only to closet and there they were imprisoned with flames licking up the oilsoaked struc- ture on every side.
 Kerr Is more seriously injured than Barnes.
 Both Kerr and Barnes received their burns as did Pahud in an attempt to rescue Miss Dehaven and Miss Wilson.
 The parents of the two girls left to- day for New York with the bodies.
 It is generally agreed that the fire was started by cigarette stub or a match thrown on an oil mop which had been used Co oil The floor of the boat house.

ALABAMA COTTON CROP DOING WELL Growth Well in Advance of What It Was One
 Year Ago

Montgomery, June 25.-Reports to the Advertiser from it's < correspondents throughout Alabama indicate that the cotton crop is generally In good condl- tion, and its growth well in advance of what 1t was 8 year ago. The long drouth was broken by good season. able rains all over the state the past week, followed by cloudy days and cool nights which have advanced the plant rapidly It had not suffered much from the dry spell, and in only few com munities is the weed infected with in- sects or worms. Some of the corre- spondents report the presence of the blight, sharp shooters and black root and in the boil weevil belt the pres ence of the weevil is stated.
 Farmers have given their crops bet ter cultivation than in previous years, following the instructions of the United States farm demonstration agents and the consequence is that the crop is free from grass and weeds, and cleaner in every way than usual.
 Corn, especially that planted early in the spring may be partial failure, owing to the drouth, but the rains have soved a great deal of it and have ben efited immeasurably the late crops. There are no pessimistic reports about corn and the present indications are that Alabama will have a bumper crop of both corn and cotton.

SINGLE CHAMPIONSHIP WON
 BY WAIDNER OF CHICAGO

former, 6-3, 6-4 and S-s Waidner out played his man at every part of the game. Waidner had the first serve and chose the south side of the court with the wind behind him. MacQuiston start ed playing a net game, but as 1t ad- vanced he changed to lobblng so as to pick up the long fast drives of Waidnsr, Waidner played the net from the begin ming to the end, and at no time did he lob. MacQuiston appeared to be say ing his strength for the doubles and did not play his best in covering the courts to return the drives of Waidner
 In the challenge round between Waid- ner and Paul MacQuiston of New Or leans, Waidner had an easier time win ming, than from Pauls brother. This game was played after the championship match and was not so fast.
 The MacQuistons played hard. steady game, while Johnson would at times show championship playing, and then lapse into a Hstless game For the first two eets Johnson played one of the best net | games ever seen here. The MacQuiston brothers won the first two games. Waid- ner played fine tennis. He played the ball in difficult places and 1t was only by the fast playing of Paul that Wald- ner's serves were returned. The third and the fourth set of the matches went to Waidner and Johnson by a small score The last match was won by liar vev and Paul MacQuiston. The final score was 6-2, 6-1, 5-7, 2-6 and 6-S. No challenge match was played in the doubles.

SECRET OF MAINE
 FOREVER HIDDEN

Tampa, Fla, June 25.-"The secret of the destruction of the battleship Maine will never be known" said Gen. w. H. Bxby, chief of engineers in charge of the work of raising the Maine, on his arrival here today from Havana. The destruction to the vessel was such, says Gen. Bixby, and the deterioration has been so. great that it will be impossible to say whether the ship was blown up from a force from the outside or inside, indicating that the forward magazine had exploded. Whether this was from sym pathetic explosion caused by a torpedo from the outside may forever remain a mystery.
 Gen. Bixby says that unless the frag- ment of a torpedo is found there is no way of connecting some outside agency with the blowing up of the vessel.
 Relics found in the officers cabin which was aft, consisted for the most part of rubber goods Rubber door mats look as though they had just come from the factory. Rubber bands, rules and tri- angles, have been recovered.
 We do not expect to find any more human remains he said. "The crews compartments have disappeared entirely. It lay in the vacant place between where the bow now lies and where the middle of the ship was broken off. The bot tom under this vacancy is bare of wreck age"
 Gen. Bixby declared no further revela- tions of consequence is expected. He will leave tomorrow for Washington.

STOCKS DEVELOP ]. STRENGTHAT CLOSE Hartman Merger Decision Exerts a Very Strong
 ;sg.z Influence

New York, June 25.--To narrow and irregular movements of stocks through the greater part of the week gave way to vigorous demonstration of strength at thee lose, following the decision of the Hartman merger case in favor of the defendant companies. The decision 4 was the one positive development with decisive influence upon the securities market, which earlier in the week way cred uncertainty in response to vary ing reports as to crop prospects and the outlook for tariff legislation.
 Wall streets immediate recognition of the favorable influence upon Asorpor- ate securities exerted by the finding of the court resulted In the most striking forward movement for several weeks which was not confined to the Hartman securities and affected railroad and shares of various industrial corpora tions nearly as much.
 Relief was expressed with the re- moval of an uncertain factor which had hung over the market for many months It was felt that the decision, especially when construed in the light of the Standard oil decree, would lend distinct encoura cement to corporations to pro- ceed with various large enterprises which have been held .in abeyance un- til the attitude of the courts should have been defined more clearly.
 This feeling was not disturbed by the decision earlier in the week against the gun powder combination. The two rulings were regarded as exemplifying the application of the Tight of reason rule as laid down by the supreme court under which the affairs of each corpora tion will be subject to independent ludgfaent.
 The influence of the crop situation upon stocks continued to be a strong factor in formulating speculative opin- ion Unfavorable weather conditions, especially the spread of drouth and damage into the spring wheat regian, had the effect of impairing the confi- dence based upon that crop to offset deficiencies in winter wheat
 The agreement of competent authori- ties on the shortage of oats and hay and the admitted necessity for soaking rains to carry the corn crop to fruit !, rainless skies and high temperatures trying to confidence and were chiefly responsible~for several periods In stocks
 Advices of the iron and steel trade were more cheerful There was some wanting of influence, however, of the reported improvement in the copper market The events of the week in Washington found a place among the stock market influences, with the pos .sibility of action looking to more gen eral tariff revision as the most disturb ing feature
