WABASH MAN HAD A NARROW ESCAPE As Bather Is Caught in Current He Holds to Rocks On the Bottom. PULLS HIMSELF TO SHORE AFTER REACHING SHALLOW WATER HE COLLAPSES AND THEN RESCUED COMPANION WAS CARRIED TO DEATH. , Wabash, Ind., June 7. Going down the third time in the Mississinewa river, William Hardacre, 35 years old, of Mier, Grant county, had the presence of mind to grasp rocks at the bottom of the river, twelve feet below the surface, and pulling himself against the current, which was sweeping 'his companion under a ' dam - to death, he crept from one rock to another on the bottom of the river, a distance of more than thirty feet, until he had escaped the strong current. Then he arose and was rescued by others. The drowning of his companion, Charles Leslie Smith. 35, also of Mier, occurred at Pearson's Mill, a popular summer resort between Wabash and Marion, and patronized by many resorters from Wabash, Marion, Peru and other places. . Pleasure Seekers See Drowning. Many pleasure seekers were on the bank and saw the two men. Hardacreand Smith start out in a boat Just be45w the big dam at the mill. They had gone but a few feet when they were caught by the current and dash- . ed to the middle of the river. While the boat was being churned they both leaped. Each sank three times and Smith was drowned. His body has not yet been recovered. How Hardacre escaped seems miraculous. "I was determined to escape," he said, "and when I went down the third time I grabbed a rock. Holding to this, unable to breathe, twelve feet below the surface and with a fierce current bearing in the water, I . managed to reach forward, catch another rock and pull. ' This I kept up for thirty feet or more. When I ' could not stay longer without breath- ' ing I shot up and fortunately was out of the current sufficiently that I could be rescued." The river has been dragged all day, but the body of Smith seemingly is beneath the ram, which is swept by eddying currents so strong that no boat can stand it, or In a ledge below that. Smith had -accompanied the four brothers of his wife, Hardacre being one, to the river for a fishing trip. . "And have , you tried the plan of greeting your husband with kind words when h. comes heme late, as I suggested r asked the elderly friend. . I have," said the youngish woman, "and it works like a charm. He stays home an the time now trying to figure ont what is the matter.1

NAME DATE TOLLEY COVERED WITH HORSESHOES Gets "Out of Richmond, Dayton, Rushville Scrapes, May Escape Again. HELD AT C0NNERSVILLE IT IS THOUGHT THAT HE WILL ELUDE JUSTICE THERE BECAUSE HIS VICTIM MAY NOT PROSECUTE HIM. It has developed at Rushville that when the local authorities released Robert R. Tolley, who was charged with grand larceny, on his own recognizance, they let slip a man whose past they did not know very wejl. Tolley is in hot water at Connersville, but stands a chance to escape as there is some doubt if the man against whom he Issued a fraudulent check will prosecute. Good luck seems to be hanging all about Tolley. It is claimed at Rushville that the young man is an lngrate, who takes advantage of the man who has proved an angel to him. At Connersville there is said to be Hi tie doubt of Tolley being guilty of forgery, but the state may have trouble to prove it. Farmer Hie Victim. The check which Tolley issued and to which he had forged the name of a Mr. Rice, a wealthy' farmer who resides near Cincinnati, has been - pronounced fraudulent at the Cincinnati bank. It seems that Tolley was raised by Rice ana has forgotten the kindnesses ' bestowed upon him when younger. Tolley is said to have passed a number of forged checks against Rice, but. the latter has acknowledged all of them to keep Tolley out of trouble. He is reported to have notified Tolley he would never honor another check, and if, he sticks to hip determination, the Connersville authorities expect him to come to Connersville and testify against Tolley. Unless he does It would be hard to make a case against the. forger. ., The Connersville authorities have communicated with a brother of Tolley at Dayton and he has refused to assist him. He said he paid a $30 biU for his brother in this city a short time ago and has reached the limit of endurance. This $30 is the sum stolen by Tolley from Manager Happy of the Singer Sewing machine company, after Happy had befriended Tolley to the extent of giving him a meal ticket and sleeping quarters.

Business Review of The Past Week by Henry Clews
A sudden burst of activity occurred during the latter part of the week which carried prices of many securities to the highest on record. Public buying continued on a moderate scale, and operations were confined largely to the big traders, backed by some of the strongest leaders in the market. A few prominent bankers disapproved of such manipulation on grounds of conservatism and that prices are already high enough, if not too high; but In the present state of the market, with both confidence and money so abundant, the bulls had little difficulty in carrying things their own way. There were evidences of considerable profit taking at times, and the impression gains that big insiders are quietly feeding out stocks on every rise. A hopeful feeling prevails in business circles generally and trade continues to show an improving tendency, both clearing house returns and railroad earnings emphatically demonstrating this fact. The Iron industry maintains its lead in business recovery, some departments having received record-breaking orders during the month of May. There Is, however, occasionall a slight halt in the placing of new business; and with the approach of the summer months it would cause no surprise if general business was to show temporary signs of slackening. This is partly true in the dry goods trade, where high prices have already somewhat interfered with activity in both cotton and woolen goods. The tariff seems to have almost dropped out of sight as a business deterrent, although its settlement would unquestionably be a relief. The final outcome is still a matter of doubt "At present the Indications suggest numerous advances in rates instead of reductions, yet the prevailing feeling is that these are intended to be used in bargaining for a final adjustment in conference . committee. One effect of the tariff agitation has been to greatly swell our imports, although the increased activity in manufacturing lines has, of course, stimulated the demand for raw materials not produced sufficiently at home. This continued rush of imports, accompanied by a prolonged dearth of exports, is having a very important effect upon our international trade balance. .The outward gold movement still conj tinues and may run to considerably European absortion of our forthcoming new security issues. These increased Importations have had one beneficial effect, inasmuch as they have increased the national revenue, and thus materially lessened the Treasury deficit, which at one time was a source of considerable apprehension. Assistance from this source, however, cannot be indefinitely relied upon for the reason that imports will soon return to the normal; that advances In duties will check Imports, and are more likely to diminish than to expand public revenue. The deficit for the current fiscal year will now be reduced to probably $100,000,000 but treasury funds are already much depleted, and July will be a month of large expenditures; so that before long a further important-reduction of public deposits must be anticipated. -
The crop outlook, thus far is aa
contest,
and does not factory as could be expected. The season Is late owing to reduced acreage which suggests continued high 'prices for that staple and relatively small exports ner winter. The loss in wheat, however, is likely to be more than compensated for by a big corn crop. Should the latter escape early frosts, it is not unreasonable to expect a bumper yield of about 3,000,000,000 bushels. Plenty of cotton is also in prospect at good prices. In view of the high prices for all farm products, if Is quite certain that the agricultural classes will enjoy another very profitable harvest, which nothing short of unusual disaster can prevent. On the Stock Exchange a confident undertone prevails. Were it not that values are already upon such a very high level there is no doubt that the market would have seen a more decided upward movement. There is a feeling, however, that the many favorable outside conditions have been quite thoroughly discounted, and that any further advance will simply afford' an opportunity for foreign and big Inside selling. This should induce a very conservative feeling throughout the market Railroad shares are firmly held, especially in view of the satisfactory condition of railroad affairs in general. Public hostility to railroad corporations is abating; traffic is increasing, freight rates are frequently higher than a year ago; many important economies have been introduced; consequently the outlook is for better net results than for the past two years. On the other hand, a great deal of new railroad financing is in prospect partly for the purpose of providing new cap ital and partly for refunding . operations. ; . ; A Deadly Retort.
