April 29.—Bradatreet’s report to-day says: Favorable weather conditions found reflection In reports of good retail distribution of spring and summer goods and in fair fUling-ln order# from Jobber*. Demand from first hand* for general merchandise Is, if anything, quieter, In keeping with the "between sea•on*" period now at hand. Industrial activity continue* •peclally marked, a pleasing feature of this week being the practical absence of the unrest, particularly tn building trades, noted for many years past about May 1. While favoring retail distribution, the springlike weather conditions, however, have beeen the reverse of stimulating as regards quotation* of two of the country * great staples—wheat and cotton. In these and in hog products the tendency of values ha* been toward a lower range. Winter wheat crop advices have continued irregularly unfavorable, but good weather, enabling a large area to be planted in spring wheat, coupled with rather leas active export demand and denials of damage to European crops, has weakened quotations of wheat and flour at leading Eastern and intartor markets. Cotton has weakened on better reports as to planting progress and the margin of s profit on manufactured goods has, therefore, temporarily widened. Rather more Is doing on export account and bleached goods are especially firm. The regular print cloth market Is steady and unchanged, but there is talk of concession* on outside makes. New demands had been notably quiet in iron and steel this week, the most notable feature being large sales of Southern gray forge iron at Pittsburg. Price* exhibit all their old strength, and here a margin of profit on finished products is undoubtedly very good. The strength of the lumber market shows Uttle impairment. Wool, as a whole. Is quiet and steady, but a relatively higher range of values abroad is Indicated by contlnueu good sales of Australian bonded wool to be re-exported. Copper is notable among the products advancing this week, aided therein >y large consumptive demand, but chiefly by talk of the great consolidation of copper-produo-Ing companies, anounced toward the close of the week. A fair trade is doing In boots and *hoe* and the slight advances announced earlier are well maintained. Leather is firmly held, strength being Imparted to this and finished products by the small stocks of hides available. Partially compensating for the falling off In export* of natural products, particularly cereals, is the immense expansion ip ex-

Wool ud Cotton. [R. O. Dun & CO.]

The presence of English merchants In Boston trying to sell English medium wool, which would be delivered there at about 22 cents, at the same time that Englfsh buyers were taking a little fine territory for export and Germans buying 100.000 pounds more Australian from bond, •hows the opposite trend of popular taste In different countries. Clay worsteds here advanced 7%c and serge 8c, which strengthened the tone of the wool market. The wool Is relatively cheap here and dear abroad, but concessions make the lowest price of the year In all kinds, as heavy stock* carried for year* come Into presence of new wool, *aid to be 800,000,003 pound*. Manufacturer* are now not buying largely, though in four weeks 80.918.000 pounds were sold, of which 23,315,086 were domestic, against 41,715.660 In the same weeks two years ago, when wool

was rising.

The cotton manufacturer has made little change, and the stocks, following the advance In wages, appears to have benefited manufacturers not a little by helping the demand and curtailing the supply of aoods. Cotton Is a sixteenth lower, with generally improved prospects for the coming crop. The boot and shoe industry surpasses all other years In April shipments, last year by 11 per cent. 1835 by 13 per cent, and 1892 by 45 per cent;, and manufacturers are generally provided with orders for months ahead, but the advance asked does not appear to have been gen-

erally without business. Primary Markets.

There are some large •tructural orders—a Philadelphia building for liviuo tons, a Western bridge for 5,000 tons a Duluth elevator and the St. Lawrence bridge at Quebec, though the general run of orders in thl* line la light, and in rails no large sale* are reported .though inquiries for fO.OOO tons are said to be In this market. Advanced prices are noted In pipe and decrease in merchants’ orders, with smaller 'business In sheets, and at the West In bars, pending the completion of the combination. But the general decrease tn new demand raise* the question whether price* will be maintained after the current orders run’ out. Exports of Grsria.

Dun A Co.] All element* considered, it Is rather surprising that business ha* not been set back a Uttle. The uncertainty about Samoa and the prolonging of the difficulty in the Philippines might have counted for something, the rising imports and falling export* for something, the rise in foreign exchange, by some attributed to foreigner** sales of copper stocks, and the hindrance Of manufacturing orders owing to th« recent advance in prices. But there has been full faith that foreign difficulties wooiA soon, be cleared aw ax. and the

the lowest export* of staph-* and tholr prices this year are extremely low, but the unprecedented foreign demand for manufactured products so far compensates that the excess of exports tn March was so heavy, and apparently has been In April.

California advices reported from reliable authority, say market thefe Is strong on its dry weather, and the drop of 15 per cent, over previous estimates on the crop. Southwest, reported travelers say, no Improvement in crop. Early, there was liquidation of May. which carried the general market down, but Southwest was a good buyer of July, and the market, after that, ruled firm. Minneapolis reported sales for the week of 215.000 barrels flour, against 270,000 barrets the week before. Cash demand has been rather poor here to-day. 100.000 bushels being reported taken from Milwaukee for direct export. Primary receipts, 430,000 bushels,compared with 670,000 bushels last week. Clearances only 94.000 bushels. Weather now is to be the factor, and as the country Is long, the rofesslonals at headquarters see fears for amage, there Is likely to be more rapid

STOCKS, MONEY AND BONDS. The Market wn» Uncertain and the Close Weak. New York. April 29.—Marked weakness was displayed in the shares of locaJ corporations at the opening, owing to the taxation. which will result from the enactment of the franchise tax measure. Speculation generally was erratic, with a downward tendency. The bear traders extended their scope of operations and laid siege to the railways. Their efforts In this direction, however, were not very fruitful, the diminished interest in the standard stocks protecting them more than anything else from sharp

losses.

Some support was accorded the active specialties, and they rallied strongly, with Colorado Fuel buoyant. Changes In the bank statement were smaller than for a long time and exerted no influence on the market. In the final dealings frffr offerings of the. local transportation shares imparted renewed weakness to the general market, which continued to the end. Total sales. 263.512 shares. Money.

The Week’* Stock Market. New York, April 29.-Tradlng was fainthearted during the week, bulls and bears being about equally timid and the general run of changes infinitesimal. Some large traders were disinclined to take on large new llres. and In some Instances trimmed the sail with a view to taking a vacation. The public. Including Innumerable small operators, was not disposed to be demonstrative. Sterling exchange was strong, and call loans ranged from 3 to 6, the higher quotations appearing near the end of the week in preparation of the May disbursement of interest and dividend. Anaconda mining being very strong, risipg twelve points because of the formation of the new amalgamated copper company, with which it was to be Incorporated. A quite general phenomenon was strength In the forenoon and weakness In the afternoon on realizing. The activity and strength of silver certificates, which sold as high as 65, was attributed by bullion dealers to a speculative movement, rendered possible by the curtailment of output during the formative period of the American Smelting and Refining Company, New York. Operations in railways was restricted, pending definite crop advices, but railway mortgages were In active request. The market was professional throughout, presenting a few interesting features.

“MODERN BARBARISM.’

A Hebrew Preacher Comment* on the Geor©ln Lynching;*.

New York, April 29.—Rev. Dr. 'Joseph Silverman (Hebrew) preached to-day in the Temple Emanuel on the subject of "Modern Barbarism.” He began by briefly relating the lynchings in Georgia, and then said. In part: "What an awful and sorry spectacle our country thus presents to the student of history and to the world at large. Here we have been protesting against the barbarities of the Spanish government, and have carried on a war in the name of humanity and Justice, while within our own borders such nameless torture and terrible persecution are permitted to hold sway. "There 1* something radically wrong with the machinery of our Government when the mere recital of a few doggerel verses at a private banquet can stir up the feelings of two nations and the Interest of the world, and can be made the matter of even a brief diplomatic interview and the subject of a Cabinet session, while this wanton, brutal, torture and slaughter of men without trial Is brushed aside by the President of the United States as a matter with which the national Government has no concern. When the State officers connive at the butchery practiced under their own Jurisdiction and Indirectly condone this manifest violation of law and order, and the national Government is still silent, then it is time for the people to rise up and demand an investigation Into these horrors of summary execution. If the State authorities are incapable of putting down lynch law and forcing respect for regular proceeding*, then some way ought to be found for instituting a congressional investigation into these barbaric practices and for providing remedial legislation, as was done tn respect to the Ku-Klux immediately after the civil war.” -o Steamship Arrival*. Liverpool, April 29.—Arrived: Campania, from New York.

IE FROM APACBES

THE STORY OK OLIVE OATMAVS THRILLING LIFE.

Capt. W. F. Drannnn Tell* How Ha Took (he Captive White Girl from the Arizona Apache* la (he Early ’50*.

(W. F Drannan In Chicago Record.] In the fall of 1855 I met Jim Beckwith in San Francisco. I had been scouting for the Government all that summer, and In the first days of November the command went into winter quarters at the barracks. The next day I went down into the city, met Jim Beckwith, and he proposed that we go and trap that winter. He proposed that we go to the middle fork of the Gila river. We bought our traps In San Francisco, fitted ourselves out with a pretty good outfit and started out with four pack animals. But we didn’t get down to our trapping grounds until the 1st of December. It was fine ground, and beaver and otter were plentiful. We put up a little log cabin, fixed ourselves as comfortable as possible, and went to work in good earnest. W'e had good luck all through the forepart of the winter. Our camp was about thirty-five miles from the Pemo Indians’ village, and we were both well acquainted with that tribe of Indians. The Pemos Is one of the best tribes of Indians I ever got acquainted with. They have often told me that they did not know the "color of a white man s blood," meaning that they had never taken a white man’s life. In January Jim and I paid the Pemos a visit There were two particular Indians in this tribe, a brother and a sister, who were particular friends of mine—in fact, they used to guy me in the tribe a great deal about this Indian girl. Her name was Nawasa. Her brother went by the name of Whan. Now, on this particular visit the Indians made a feast for us. and the feast came off the next day after we got there. Just after dark Whan came to me, where 1 stood with a crowd of the Pemos talking, and whispered to me, saying that Nawasa wanted to see me. Wanted to See Him Alone. I knew from the way Whan acted that he did not want anybody else to know his business. I turned from the crowd and walked away with him. When I started to see Nawasa I suppose that she had some little love story to tell me. She was sitting under some willows and motioned to me to come and sit down by her, which I did. She began by telling me that my sister was a prisoner of the Apachea I si Id I had no sister I had never heard up to that time that the Apaches had a white prisoner, but we Invariably avoided the Apaches on every occasion, as they were our worst enemies. She said: “I know it ts your Bister,” at the same time taking hold of my hand and pushing up my coat sleeve and saying that the girl was Just as white as I was. I asked Nawasa If she knew this white girl. "Yes,” she said, "many moons me know her; yes, many snows me know her.” Then she counted on her fingers and said: "Me know her five snows.” I asked how far away the girl was. “One good horse, one-half sun,” she said, meaning a half-day’s ride, Nawasa talked to me so much about this prisoner that I made up my mind that I would investigate the matter, and if It was a white girl I would make an attempt to rescue her. I said* “Nawasa, you go and see that white girl and you ask her If she wants to go to her white brothers and sisters. If she does. I’ll get you and Whan tc help me and we will get her away; I will be back here in two weeks and you go and see her in the meantime and tell me Just what she says." The next morning Jim Beckwith and t pulled out for our camp. Op the road that day I at'ked Jim If he had ever heard that the "pepper" Apaches had a white girl prisoner. "Why. yes," he said. "1 have heard it several times. Thefe was an immigrant family massacred down near the Colorado river about seven years ago, and it may be that some of that family are prisoners of the Apaches. That is the only way I know that they could have got a prisoner.” Beckwith tried to get me to drop the idea of a rescue, but I would not. We dropped the conversation then, and there was nothing more said about It at the time. Secrecy of the Movement. When we got to camp we found everything Just as we had left it. 1 think the next two weeks seemed longer to me than any two weeks I ever passed in the mountains, but according to appointment I went back to see Nawasa. I met her and Whan that night according to agreement outside of the village. Those young Indians had to keep this matter entirely secret from their own tribe, as well as from the Apaches, for the reason that the Apaches and Pemos were on friendly terms, and if It had been known by the Apaches that the Pemos were assisting in getting their prisoner away it would have caused a war between the two tribes. Therefore, Whan and Nawasa had made me promise to keep the matter a secret from all of the Pemo Indians. Nawasa had been to see this girl as I told her. and had asked her If she wanted to be liberated. The girl was afraid to say yes, for fear that it was a scheme of some other tribe of Indians to get her away, probably to treat her worse. However. she told Nawasa that when I came again to see her that she wanted Nawasa to come and stay all night with her, and in the morning that they would go out on a ridge about five miles from the village to pick huckleberries. It was planned that I should ride along on the same ridge the same morning, and when I was near a certain cliff 1 was to stop, turn in my saddle,’ look at the girls, turn around and ride away. This was In order to convince the prisoner that I was a white man. The prisoner was to decide there and then whether she would make the attempt to get away or not. She was also to set the time when the attempt should be made. I had taken an extra horse with me this trip to the Pemo village and I told Whan I wanted him to take my "pinto” horse and go on to Little Dry fork, waiting there until I came. The next morning Whan and I got up and got our own breakfast and were away before any one else was up the Indians supposing that Whan was going home with me. I rode out onto the ridge where I was to meet Nawasa and the white girl. I was there by 10 o’clock and they were there before I was. I rode up to them and passed the time of day In the Pemo language. Nawasa took the prisoner and threw her up bodily upon the horse behind me and at the same time said; "Go quick.” Felt Safe. I knew what that meant. Nawasa mounted her horse and followed me. After riding five or six miles I began to feel pretty safe and I began to open up a conversation with the girl. I asked her how long she had been a prisoner, and, after studying quite a while she told me seven years. She had almost lost the use of the English language. She was obliged to hesitate and study a long time before she could answer any questions. Nawasa was riding beside us ail this time and was encouraging the girl in every way she could. When we came to where Whan was, waiting with my fresh horse, I dismounted to change my saddle. The girl began to cry and would not answer my questions'. I turned to Nawasa and asked her in Spanish—thinking the white girl would not understand me—what was the matter. Nawasa said: "Oh, heap shame! no like go see brother and sister." And I honestly think that if the girl had been back with the Indians at that time, probably she never would have made another attempt to get away. She was dressed in the costume of a squaw, and that means almost nudity, Nawasa at this time had to do ail the talking, and a great deal of it. to get the girl to consent to go any farther. They conversed in the Apache language and I understood but very little of it When my horse was saddled and I had mounted him. Whan had to help Nawasa put the girl up behind me, and I never saw more affection displayed than that between these two girls, the one for the other. The Indian girl hugged and kissed the white girl when she was assisting In

placing her up behind me on my horse. This was very unusual, as very little outward affection is ever manifested among Indian*. Nothing unusual occurred during my trip between the point where I left Nawasa and Whan and Ft. Yuma. Arriving there, I went direct to Captain Jackson’s quarters, for the reason that Capt. Jackson and his wife were particular friends of mine. The captain was not in when I arrived, but Mrs. Jackson came to the door, gathered the white girl in her arms and took her into a hack room. I had my horse taken care of and then returned to the captain's quarters. Capt. Jackson was there by this time, but I did not see his wife. He began by inquiring of me where I found the prisoner, and I told him the whole story. Girl a Resident of Oregon. I saw nothing more of the girl until Mrs. Jackson brought her tn to supper, and I hardly think I would have recognixed her if it had not been for the tattoo marks on her face. Mrs. Jackson had washed her and dressed her, and she looked like a different person. The tattooing consisted of three marks of green under each eye, three marks of red running from each comer of her mouth, three marks of green over each breast, and also three marks of green around her legs, Just abova the knees. 1 left the next day for my trapping ground and heard no more of this girl until the next spring, when I met Capt. Jackson and he told me they had sent her to Ban Francisco to Dr. Tolan to have the tattoo marks removed. 1 heard no more of her for a number of year*. I have heard since that she has traveled all over the East. I have met three men m Chicago who have seen her here and one of the' men had a long conversation with her In regard to her capture by the Indians and her rescue by me. After 1 had rescued her she told Capt Jackson that about seven years b«fore her father and mother, a brother, herself and a younger sister started to California from either Missouri or Arkansas-ehe could not tell which—over what was known at that time as the "Butterfield trait." The father and mother were massacred by the Apache Indians near the crossing of the Colorado river: the brother was found a few days after the massacre by a Mexican sheep herder. He lived only a short time. The two girls were taken prisoners by the Apache Indians and the younger girl died while a prisoner. The lady's proper name la Olive Oatman and her home Is at Jacksonville. Ore. RESULT OF THE TORNADO List of Dead and Injnred at Kirksville Continues to Grow.

St. Louis, Mo., April 29,-The roll of killed and Injured at Kirksvllle, Mo., where half the residences were destroyed by a tornado Thursday evening, continues to grow, by reason of the finding and identification of additional dead and Injured and the death of some of the latter. A revised list shows the names of fifty-two dead and 126 injured. To the list of dead Is added the name, of Mrs. Hennon, wife of a news dealer, who died during the night. Ten or twelve of the Injured are so badly hurt that their lives are despaired of. There is scarcely a household in the devastated district but lost a member by death or sustained severe property loss. In several instances whole families were wiped out. The total financial loss is placed at $350,000, falling most heavily on small householders. It Is believed all the dead and Injured In the Newtown tornado have been accounted for. The number of dead there Is placed at eleven and the injured at thirty-two. Of the Injured, two children of William Hayes can not recover. At Kirksvllle, the body of a man was found last night with about $2,000 in bills In his pocket. Another body, evidently that of a traveling salesman, was found. In the waistcoat pocket was his watch, which stopped at 6:20. Neither has been identified. Aid for the Sufferer*. Jefferson City, Mo., April 29.—The tornado that visited Kirksvllle and Newtown Thursday night caused both House and Senate tp adopt resolutions of sympathy for the sufferers. This action was immediately followed by personal subscriptions and within a short time $300 had been raised by the two Houses. The State officers will also make contributions as well as employes, and a good sum is expected to be raised.

TRUSTEES AND THE POOR

ATTORXEY-GKSERAL’S OP1XIO* IS ASKED ABOUT THE HEW LAW.

He Says that Towashlp Trustees’ Power* a* to Poor Relief Are Not Affected by the Coaaty Re- . form Law.

Secretary Butler, of the Board of State Charities, says there ought to be no uncertainty In regard to whether township trustees shall have the right to administer poor relief in the same manner they have done in previous years. Some ’ of the trustee* ar« in doubt, and have been making inquiry of the county commissioners as to whether, under the county reform law. they will be allowed to administer relief tc individuals, as they have done In the past. Mr. Butler asked the Attorney-General about the law. Section 3S, of the act concerning county business, says that the Board of County Commissioners shall have no power to cause to be paid cut of the county treasury any money for the relief or support of any paupers or poor persons whatever, unless at that time they are inmates of soma county institution. The Attorney-General says. In his opinion to Mr. Butler, that Section 33 of the county reform law. in so far as it relates to poor relief, simply provides as to the duties of county commissioners, that "they shall have no power to allow, pay or cause to be paid any money out of the county treasury to or for the relief or support of any pauper cr poor person If such person be at the time not an inmate of some county It etUnticn." There is no possible theory, the Attcrney-General savs, on whit-n It could be held as repealing a law i-4-<;tiiring the township c\erseer of the poor to keep a record of hW expenditures for public charity. • The Attorney-General says the law concerning county business simply prohibits any allowance to be made by the county commissioners directly to the poor for out-door relief, but that the authority of the township trustee heretofore existing to administer relief to persons who are net Inmaos of sont- counri asvium, continues. No warrants can be drawn on the county treasury in the name of the pauper, but warrants may be drawn and moneys advanced, to the township overseer of the poor for the care of the poor. RAID ON RAHKE’S. Gamblers Arrested — Police Did Not lae Street Cars This Time.

In the Police Court this morning. Gus. Rahke, a well-known gambler, and six other men were fined $10 and costs each for gambling. They were arrested last night by Captain Kruger. Sergeant Corrigan and patrolmen Butcher and Grubb. In Rahke’s place, opposite the entrance to the Fair grounds, and were brought to the police station, together with a full faro "lay-out” and 1,600 chips. They gave their names as Horace Wilson, Adolph Berger, John Amo*, Joseph Moggntz. Charles Parry, Joseph Moffett and Gus. Rahke. Wilson was In charge of the game, and he was accused of keeping a gambling house. Rahke and the others were charged with visiting a gambling house. About a week ago a raid was made on the same house, and about a dozen men were arrested and fined, and a few weeks previous to this time, about the same crowd was arrested for gambling in a room In East Washington street. Superintendent Quigley said that the house entered last night was the only one which has been giving any trouble for some time. He said the police have Instructions to visit every two or three days all the rooms in the city which bear this kind of a reputation, and, with the exception of Rahke's place, there is no evidence of gambling, the tables and chairs In the different rooms being piled up and covered with dust. Some trouble has been experienced In catching the game going at Rahke’s place, as a watch Is kept for the arrival of the police, who have been going out In street cars Last night, however, thepatrolmen making the arrest adopted different tactics, and drove out in a wagon and approached the house from the west. They were not seen until they rushed in. o—, UNDERTAKERS MEET.

Will Make a Test Case Against th* Health Board.

A meeting of local undertakers was held last night, and It was decided to fight the action of the State Board of Health In compelling undertakers to take examinations for certificates which would permit shipment of bodies of victims of contagious disease without the restrictions placed on those not taking the examination. There were several at the meeting last night who had taken the examtratlon, and these were especially severe in their criticism of the health board, saying that they had not given the matter much consideration previous to this time, and took the examination because they thought it was the easiest way to avoid trouble. The undertakers say they want some law behind such an arrangement, and object to the fee of $5 which is required wUhr^ie examination. They do not object t'/an examination for competency, they say. It was decided to make a test case out of the first Instance In which a permit 1* refused for the shipment of a body, and in case an undertaker holding & certificate secures the contract, he is to call on one who has not & certificate to make the application for a permit. Application for. a writ of mandamus will then be made, and if necessary, the ease wil be carried to the Supreme Court. In an interview Secretary Hurty, of the State Board of Health, said that the acUon of the board was sanctioned by the "flower of the profession.” The local undertakers take exception to this expression, and say that If the "flower of the profession" is to be found anywhere in the State, It is in this city, as the greater volume of business brings higher efficiency. Articles ot Incorporation. The Attica Lithla Springs Company, with a capital stock of $50,000. ha* filed articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State.
