Just a few minutes before deaUi Dr. Lucas was in conversation with his wife, Mrs. Mary Lucas; his son, M. J. Lucas, of Danville, 111., who had arrived at 4 o'clock in the morning, and his daughter, Mrs. Frank Aid, of Indianapolis.

ered in its second floor watching a mov ing picture show, operated by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Adam Chambers, an explosion occurred, followed by fire.

Last to leave the church was one of the .young women teachers in the Sunday school, who had remained to pump the organ for Thomas Abrams, organist, after three young men "had deserted that post because of increasing smoke and flame. She modestly r -fused her name to all inquirers.

That the big sailing ship Arthur Sewall, laden with coal for the American fleet in the Pacific, has been wrecked close to Cape Horn and her crew of forty eaten by cannibals who infest the islands near Terra del Fuego and the straits of Magellan is believed at the Maritime Exchange in New York. Since tho Sewall sailed from Philadelphia on April 3. bound for Seattle, via Cape Horn, not a word had been heard from it until the other day, when a letter was received at the Maritime Exchange which seems to indicate that one of the biggest square rigged ships in the merchant marine has foundered. The lette was from the straits under date of Aug. 31. It stated that on Aug. 23 the sealing steamship Fridtjof arrived and reported that while cruising near the southeast headland of Xoir ishnd, half way between Cape Pillar and Cape' Horn, it sighted a derelict which is believed to be the Sewall. The derelict was a four masted, square rigged ship. Only the topmasts were above the water and the royals were set. The FrUtjef cruised about the neighborhood in the hope of getting some trace of the crew. On the shore of Noir island indications wore found that they had landed, but, though searching parties were sent out. nothing further was discovered. The Sewall. which had been out 'JOS days, was commanded by Captain Gaffey. It was owned by Arthur Sewall & Co., Bath, Me., and was 2,119 tons. ENDS SUIT 100 YEARS OLD.

WAR ON WESTERN FRAUD.

Stealers of Timber and Coal Lands to lie Vlfforoualy Prosecuted. After a series of important conference held with the Attorney General of the United States, M. C. Burch, special assistant attorney general in the field, has returned to the Far West, commissioned to so aüead with government 'land fraud suits, both civil and criminal, on a scale larger by far than anything yet undertaken in 'this line by the government. The numerous indictments already returned for timber and coal land frauds all through the West are to be prosecuted without exception, and new indictments will be added to the list. The docket of practicalfy every United States district court in the Mountain States is to be crowded with civil suits by which the government will seek to regain its title to the millions upon millions of acres of valuable timber and coal land obtained by fraudulent entry. The indictments already include many of the most prominent - and wealthy men in the West. Mr. Burch is instructed by the President and the Attorney General to inflict upon them the criminal penalty wherever possible. By the civil suits It will be sought to take away from them such of their wealth as has been illegaly obtained. Tho scope of the machinery the government has set in motion against tac land thieves is little comprehended, soys a Washington correspondent. In addition to the force of district attorney?, Burch, a well-known Michigan lawyer, has been assigned by the Department of Justice to general charge of these prosecutions. Co-operating with him under the direction of L. C. Wheeler, who received his training in Washington, is the largest secret service staff in the country. Mr. Wheeler has more than 100 men. They are scattered over the immense area of the Mountain States, all burrowing for evidence against the men who have pirated Uncle Sam out of his valuable coal and timber resources. These men do not call themselves secret service employes, since tho secret service Is supposed solely to be engaged in ferreting out counterfeiters and protecting the person of the President. Mr. Wheeler and his staff are known as special agents of the Department o Justice. In fact, however, their business is that of a secret service, specialy created by the President to camp on the trail of the railroad corporations and the mining and timber millionaires, who have been the chief misdocrs in land thievery. The prosecutions in charge of Mr. Burch are not to be confounded with the much-storied chapter of fraud in Oregon The work of Mr. Burch and Mr Wheeler lies chiefly in Idaho, Montana. Wyoming, Utah and Colorado. Though not so well known, the land fraud inquiry and prosecution in the latter States have been conducted on much wider lines and with more startling results than in Oregon. The government investigation has brought about the most startling of all the disclosures by its probing into tho coal land frauds. It has been brovght out conclusively that in Wyoming, in Colorado, in Utah and in Idaho, the Harriman railroad system, the 1 1 ill Interests and the Gould lines, respectively, have secured a grip on the bulk of the coal deposit in tl)3 West deposits nowknown to be large enough to furnish the nation with fuel for years when the Eastern coal mines shall have been exhausted. The last batch of indictments for illegally obtaining coal land came out in Colorado and included seventy iJrominent men, some of them resident Westerners and others from Eastern and Middle Western cities, who thought they saw a good thing and ravenously joined in the wholesale grabbing for rich public lands. An American girl ought to get a pretty good count for $5,000.000. The quality of milk, and not the price of it, is what ought to go higher. The Lusjtania can keep on breaking records just so she doesn't break herself. Lillian Russell says divorce is a blessing; and Lillian has tried it often enough to know. Japan has established an emigration bureau, just as if anybody wanted to emigrate there. The wireless telegraph company will never have to contend with a strike of its linemen. That Tittsburg woman who refused $1,000,000 for a divorce is certainly not an easy quitter. Time for the country to take a good, strong tonic in preparation for the second Harry Thaw trial. Newport society has adopted the "toe dance" as the latest fad. This will be hard on the feelers. A German chemist has invented paper clothing.

It will be a pity if the American brides get into their heads that idea of a bridal tour lasting two years.

You would think some men were naturally too lazy to catch it. The Jamestown exposition owes the government $900,000, hut it is taking 'life easy and allowing Uncle Sam to paca tt floor.

CHICAGO. The effort to strengthen credit in this center makes satisfactory headway and with less difliculty than was feared. Protective measures enforced by the banks have won public co-operation, and it is clear that unprecedented gold Importations pointed this way and substantial additions to circulation by most of the local national institutions must materially assist in relieving the stringency in money and permit an early resumption of normal conditions. Considering the disadvantages which trade has experienced, it is not surprising to find recessions in new demands and some decline in prices in primary markets. That business is yet at a high level is evidenced by payments through the banks in excess of those in the same week last year, although under the total last week. t Iron and steel contracts keep the furnaces and mills busy, and heavy deliveries continue of furnace product, rails, structural shapes and factory outputs. Activity is well sustained in forge and foundry work, heavy hardwear, machinery, furniture and footwear, and the absorption of raw. material generally is unabated, except lumber, which feels effect of lessened building demand. Failures reported in the Chicago district number 27, against 2S last week and 22 a year ago. Dun's Review of Trade.

NEW YORK. The country at large has this week felt the after effects of last week's financial disturbances at New York and other eastern cities. Naturally there has been some dislocation of the country's business, notably in the item of tho domestic exchanges, which has reacted on the collecting and forwarding forces by for a time stopping the buying of wheat in the Northwest and of cotton at the South, and there has also been a sensible quieting down of jobbing trade activities, some reduction of forces In railroad Improvement work and in other industries, and some effect also upon retail trade, which, however, aided by fine fall weather, has given a good account of itself this week. In the dry goods trade there is a greater disposition to concede that a lower level of values for several lines of cotton goods is likely. Business failures for the week ending Oct. 31 number 223, against 220 last week, 103 in the like week of 1900, 100 in lDO.",. 200 in 1004 and 210 in 1003.

The Control of TuhercuZosIn. The third annual report of the Henry Phipps Institute ol Philadelphia, whose work is the study, treatment and prevention of tuberculosis, as summarized by Charities and the Commons, presents many items of interest and encouragement to those who are seeking to arrest! the ravages of consumption. One is tho, racial susceptibility to the disease. Fori eign bom citizens brought to the institute form nearly one-half the burden oi its work for the year. The countriej which sent it the heaviest burdens in ori der e-f sequence were Russia, Ireland, Germany, England, Italy, Austria and Scotland. The same order holds good fo.; the cases which came from the seeonj generation, namely, the children born of immigrants. Only 31.3 per cent of all the patients treated were of native ancestry one generation back. Children born of mixed parentage most frequently became victims when the union of parents was between Irish and native born, and next between Irish and English. The claim often made that tuberculosis does not exist to any great extent among the Hebrews js partially borne out by the mortality statistics in large cities; that is, while the disease is very prevalent among the Hebrews it seldom takes on a fatal form. There seems to be a racial immunity against the toxine of the tubercle bacilli, but not against its growth. The institute finds that the frequency with which residence is changed by the consumptive poor constitutes a menace to public health and furnishes a strong argument in favor of registration of tuberculosis. It is also urged that disinfection of houses when vacated by consumptives, whether by death or removal, should be practiced everywhere. It is interesting to, note that in Philadelphia every ward in which an institution for the treatment of tuberculosis exists showed a reduct'on of the death rate from the disease, while some of the adjoining wards have had an increase. Store Carnegie Heroes. The Carnegie Hero Fund Commission has made medal and money awards to twent3'-four more persons shown to -have performed exceptional service in the saving of life.

Iledger, superintendent of schools of Finney county, Kan. lie ran two miles and entered a well seventy-two feet deep, where he worked two hours with shovel to save the life of a man caught in a cave-in. Mosquito Bite Fatalities. Dr. Edward A. Ayers of the New York Plyclinic has estimated thit 250,000 deaths annually result from mosquito bites. He says five diseases are directly traceable to these insects, namely: Malaria, yellow fever, beri-beri, dengue and fila riasis. lost Flngrer; Saved Warship. Lieut. W. P. Cronan of the battleship Connecticut, by putting his hand into a gun mechanism, prevented a discharge which would have ignited the magazine of the ship, and in consecuence had his forefinger hurt so that it was amputated.

TO BRING MORE GOLD.

Sal of Farm Froducf Abroad f Heilere aioncy Diffleultles. Outweighing all that the mct powerful financiers ji the country could do, the American farmer has come to the rescue of the finances of the nation and is relieving the money difficulties. The great American staples wheat, cotton, tobacco, meats are on their way to Europe, this being the season of the year when American products are marketed abroad. In return the United States is receiving credit for many million dollars abroad, which can be converted speedily into a stream of gold flowing into the country. It is this fact which is expected to provide lasting relief, and which backs up the efforts of the bankers and financiers of the country with such force as to make it virtually certain that the coming months will be ones of case in the money markets. The natural resources of the country promise to exert even greater influence than the sale of American securities abroad. The latter have suffered discredit, to some extent, undr recent pressure. The intrinsic value of tie products of the farmer, to which mut be added those of the mines and oil fields, and their colossal aggregate at th:? time of the year is beyond the reach cf financial distrust, above the power of Wall street. Convention of Trnst Curbers. At Chicago 400 delegates appointed by State Governors met, under the au?pices of the National Civic Federation, to discuss the curbing of trusts. President Butler of Columbia university, who. presided, mad? an address, in which he warned against premature or ill-considered measures for the regulation ol public service corporations, lest they disturb "that faith which civilized man has in his fellows and upon which rests the whole enormous structure of our credit system." He added that if this were destroyed there would be few corporations of any kind left to regulate. At the same time he admitted that the country was face to face with new economic conditions and abuses which must be checked. He thought that the Sherman anti-trust law commits the nation to a too cxtrcne policy by exalting competition over co-operation. Many economists of national reputation took part in the discussions which followed or delivered set addresses. Bankers, merchants and labor leaders were also heard. Judge Grosscup aired his favorite plan for a national corporation commission and Samuel Gompers said that the trad-? union was the proper accompaniment of the trust. The majority favored some form of federal regulation of all corporations. Many of the legates took the same position as that of President Butler against the Sherman anti-trust law, it being the sons'? of the convention that the law was mon at fault tLan the trusts for existing conditions. The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad will now proceed rapidly to install the entire system with electric power, owing to the successful completion of tbe trial installation on the division between New York City and Stamford, Conn. The outcome of the trial of T. L. Ford, chief counsel of the San Francisco Street Railway Company, who was indicted for bribing city supervisors, was a disagreement of the jury, which stood eight for acquittal and four for conviction. Another trial is already in progress. United States district attorneys in various parts of the country have been instructed by Attorney General Bonaparte to institute suits against a large number of railroad coTnp;;nics to recover penalties Incurred by them for alleged violations of the safety appliance law. Advance copies of the financial statement of the Rock Island Railroad show total earnings of $G0.23S,420. an increase of $9.000,502. Notwithstanding an increase of nearly $0,000,000 in operating expenses, tiie net earnings were $19,194,27S, an increase of $3,023,478. At the annual meeting of the Chicago and Alton railroad, E. II. Harriman failed to be re-elected a director and the name of his friend, James Stilkran, wa3 left off, this marking the complete ascendancy of the Rock Island interests in Alton and victory for the Moore-Reid people. Under an agreement with Gov. Comer of Alabama, the Southern Railway and other lines in that State, except the Louisville and Nashville, are to put the 2v4-cent fare and freight rate into effect Dec. 1, and all litigation as ajesult of resistance to the rate is to be withdrawn. In his annual report President Charles S. Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad admits that the 2-cent passenger rate established about a year ago has proved a profitable one, the gross earnings of his company, having increased about 5 per cent darin the past year. The annual report of the Baltimore and Ohio road shows gross earnings for the past year of $SS,3G2,924, an increase over the two previous years. The net earnings for the year, however, were only $27,3G2,S30, a decrease of $313,004 from 190G. Operating expenses increased $5,3O1.S09. The business of Havana, Cuba, is paralyzed by one of the greatest strikes in her history, being caused by th walkout of the engine drivers on the railway lines leading out of the.city. Their grievance is that they are paid in Spanish and not American money. It has been almost impossible to move any trains, .is the men employed to take the places of the strikers are afraid to work, although protected by the police. The first official statement of the financial results of the operation of Chicago's traction lines shows that the city's share of the net profits of the Chicago City railway for the first six months ending July 31 were $27S,21S. This is based upon the city's getting 55 per cent of the total profits. When the Union traction lines are brought into the city operation plan it is estimated that the city's share of the profits will be over $1,300,000. Much discussion has been caused by the report of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company for the last fiscal year, showing a deficit of over $301,000, while coring the same period the company paid damage claims for accidents to the amount of $1,217,580, or 7 per cent of the gross receipts. This does not include the cost of the legal staff in defending suits. Commenting on these figures, Collier's says that "when traction companies throughout the comntry are compelled to choose between killings and dividends, they will find ways to prevent the killings." The agreement of the parties at issue to adjourn the meeting of the Illinois Central stockholders to Dec 18 was taken to indicate that the partial count of proxies showed a strong trend of sentiment favorable to the Fish interests. Meanwhile the scramble for proxies will continue, and the case be fought out in the courts. Mr. Fish said the most that could be hoped for under the modified injunction was to prevent an election of directors at this time. The annual stockholders' meeting of the Union Pacific Railroad at Salt kake City resulted in a complete triumph for the Harriman ticket, although there was protesting raincrity at tht meeting.
