NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH
Joseph FfscIll Of Whiting Street Clears Tracks Only in Time to Let Berlin
 Dinky Pass Without Being Struck.

Joseph F'ischl and family narrow ly averted death last evening as they were crossing the Whiting street rail- road tracks. MT. Fischl was driving his touring car from Stanley street to the corner of Whiting and Cherry streets where he conducts meat market As he approached the cross ing he did not hear the oncoming en- gipe nor were the gates down, ac- cording to his story. When he was on the tracks MT. Fischl saw the train. which was the II o'clock "dinky' from New Britain to Ber- lin, and crossed the tracks when the engine passed him. Evidently the en- gineer saw that the gates were not down and stopped his train. He was at the crossing several moments blowing his whistle before he drew the attention of the gateman who was said to be sleeping in his little shanty. Aroused by the whistle he came out and lowered his gates after it was too late. -

EXPERIENCE WILL BE B|G ASSET TO
 GRAF Y TOM GRANT

Youth and lithesomeness will be pit ted against trickery and experience when Pete Sauer Phoenix favorite, meets Thomas Grant. jiu jitsu expert, in a, finish match, catch-as- catch can style. at Tally's open-air arena Friday night. Terms of the contract call for a decision, best two-in three falls. or no money will be paid tn egrapplers.
 It is the first time that such a clause has ever been included in wrestling contract in this city. Every phase Of the wrestlin gart has been covered in the contract, so that neither man will be able to find a loophole. Incident ally, the contract is probably the long est document drafted for sporting event here. It covers nearly five pages of typewritten copy.
 Promoters Tally and Hale insist that the match go to finish. It was their insistence on this point, in fact, that held up final signatures of the two men for three days. Sauer favored a bout limited to two hours, with the referee to give a verdict on aggressiveness ana points at the end of that time should neither man secure a fall. In the event that one man got a single fall within the two hours he would be the victor under Sauer's proposal
 But Grant and the promoters held out for match to the finish and the local boy finally conceded the point
 The matters of barring certain holds was also brought up at the conference between promoters and wrestiers Il was finally agreed that all holds, with the single exception of the strangle hold, would be permissible. This point is also fully covered in the contract which has been duly signed and wit messed
 The men will meet at catch weights according to the contract. This will l give Grant a weight advantage of prob 1 ably six to ten pounds. Sauer's best wrestling weight is 1S5 and Grants 190 l but the local favorite lost nearly ter pounds through his recent injury and illness and has never fully regained the lost poundage. He will probably weigh about 1S0 Friday night when he gets into the ring. Grant also is under his normal weight, but expects to pu on pound or so before the match, hav- ing recovered from an attack of stom. ach trouble that bothered him consid l erably in his first meeting with Sauer
 Sauer looked overtrained on the oc casion of his first meeting with Grant | The lines of his face were drawn tight The fact that he stopped perspirins after the first hour and half proved conclusively that he was not right phy sically.
 As a result Pete has cut down in hi training, limiting his road and gym nasium work to every other day. Here l tofore he has done five miles on tn road each morning. followed by an hou and half in the gymnasium each aft ernoon. His physician warned him tha it was too much in the heat
 Grant works out daily with Big Car Morris down at Riverside park and tn way the two big fellows maui eac other around is a caution. Morris i pretty handy at the wrestling art an gives Grant plenty of the right kind 0 work
 Tickets for the match went on sal at the Doyle cigar stand yesterday an
 there was rush for the choice paste
 boards Many out-of- town reserys. tfons have already been received.

Market News

NEW YORK Aug. 2-The stock market today was subjected to severe fluctuations with final prices showing considerable losses in a large number of speculative favorites.
 Announcement last Saturday, after the close of the market of the rate in creases granted the railroads caused wave of buying at the outset, which swept prices upward at rapid rate All classes of shares participated with gains. ranging from one to three and a half points. Short covering was or an urgent character for a time with commission houses reporting d large influx of buying orders from all sec- tions of the country.
 Seasoned dividend paying rail shares made the best showing. Such favorites as New York Central, Union Pacific. Southern Pacific. Illinois Central Louisville and Nashville. Atchison, Reading and Northern Pacific were in the van with material improvements also in a long list of low priced roads and a wide sprinkling of specialties.
 Expectations that the railroads would shortly be in a position to pur- chase large amounts of needed stock caused active buying of the equipment group. Popular industrials also moved forward.
 Stocks were quickly supplied at the higher levels, and the trading element, which had taken the long side, made haste to throw over its holdings.
 Particular pressure was exerted against great variety of shares which are popular speculative mediums in cluding stee1s, equipments, shippings. oils, motors. textiles, paper and food securities.
 Advances under the flood of liquida- ton and short selling soon were can celled and the list crumbled away steadily until leading stocks were quoted at prices we'll below the | low levels recently, recorded, Lack of any sustained buying power discouraged the bull faction and en- couraged the bears, who made drives against particular issues in an en- deavor to uncover stop-loss orders. ! Reactions ran anywhere from one to eight points. Sales approximated one million shares.
 Much stress was laid on the unfa- vorable character of the foreign news and the fact that call money continued l to rule at stiff rates. Persistent heav- mess of the principal foreign remit i tances also had damaging effect. Bonds were quoted substantially higher and held up well despite weak ness in other quarters. Foreign bonds were sold at concessions and there were moderate recessions in the Lib erty loans Total sales of bonds (par value), s10,160,00o.
