ACCUSED OF MURDER.

FATHER AND SON HELD FOR A WOMAN'S DEATH. Taken Into Custody at Missouri Cemetery Immediately After Burial of Vic-tim-Boy Lost at Fair Thought to Have Been Drusrced and Robbed. George W. Gay and liis son, Lester Gay, were arrested at the entrance to the cemetery near Agency, Mo., on the charge of murdering Mrs. George \V. Gay, wife of the senior Gay. The woman’s throat was cut and the father and son claimed to have found her dead upon returning from the fieid for dinner. Her body had just been interred when the sheriff from St. Joseph made the arrests. The prisoners were taken to St. Joseph and placed in jail. Both deny all knowledge of the crime and adhere to their original story that they found the. woman’s body bound hand and foot nnd the throat cut. It has developed that George Gay and his wife frequently had quarreled and that they had separated several times, the last time about six years ago. It is the theory of the officers that, because the wife would not consent to sell their farm and move to Oklahoma, George Gay killed her in the presence of the son. “I expected to be arrested,” said Gay senior. ‘‘l know there are those in the community in which I live who think I killed my wife, but I swear before God that I am Innocent.” BOT LOST AT FAIR IS FOUND. Claims He Was Abducted and Enlisted in the Army. Stephen Putney, Jr., son of a wealthy Richmond, Va., manufacturer, who disappeared several days ago while visiting the fine arts building at the world’s fair, returned the other day to the Hamilton Hotel in St. Louis, where his brother, Langhorne Putney, is stopping. It is claimed the youth, who is 16 years old, was drugged and abducted by three men, and remembered nothing until he found himself in Kansas City.'

PREACHER STOPS LYNCHING. Feeling Runs High in Roseville, Ohio, Qver Incendiary Fires. Three alleged incendiary fires occurred in the village of Roseville, Ohio, during twelve hours.

Kid Wilson, colored, and Charles Carnes, white, who had been arrested on suspicion. Rev. Luther J.

WAR FOR THE WEEK.

LITTLE INFORMATION FROM THE FAR EAST. Great Port Arthur Fortress Remains Unconquered Sapping and Mining Now Taking Place of Direct Assaults —Stocssel Believed to Be in Distress. ~ The lack of Information from Japanese sources concerning conditions at Port Arthur is sufficient evidence that the great fortresses are still unconquerable, and that further sapping and mining by the besiegers has taken the place of direct assaults. There have been neither official nor semiofficial statements from Tokio, nor censored dispatches from General Nogi’s headquarters, which bring information down later than Nov. 7. At that time the Japanese were retaining the Iveekwan moat, but were suffering heavily from Russian fire. On the other hand, it is clear that if General Stoessel had had any success in driving the Japanese out of positions they won in attacks at the end of October we would have heard of it. The arrival of the Russian torpedo boat destroyer Rastoropny at Chefoo was the event of the week, bnt, whatever dispatches it may have brought, the authorities at St. Petersburg have not seen fit to make public any containing facts of later date than Nov. 2. The Rastoropny was sunk by the Russians themselves, and such a «acrifiee of a valuable vessel Justified the Inference that its mission had been one of the gravest importance. It was natural to think that General Stoessel was asking the Czar for permission to surrender. At St. Petersburg it Is insisted, however, that General Stoessel

reports that conditions are good, and that be will be able to hold out for months to come. Rumors, nevertheless, persist that he has informed the Czar that unless he can be supplied with food and ammunition the end of his power of resistance will soon come. The general has himself been wounded in the head, but not seriously enough to prevent his continuing to exercise the command. Artilery duels along the Shakhe River seem to be increasing in severity. The Russians attacked Oku on the west of the line early in tho week, and later Kuroki made an attack on the east. Neither attack was on a large scale. Winter weather has now set In, introducing entirely new conditions for fighting A Shanghai correspondent *aya a steamer which has arrived from Chefoo reports that three other Russian torpedo boat destroyers left Port Arthur with the Rastoropny, which was sunk by Its commander in Cbefoo harbor. The Japanese caught two of them, but the other escaped und has not been heard from since. An official report received at Tokio states that as a result of the success of the Japanese in blowing up Songsliusban fort the occupation of the “outer embankment” of Port Arthur became complete. Another official report says that a shell from a Japanese naval gun exploded a powder magazine on Saturday, near the arsenal nt Port Arthur. The words “outer embnnkmeut” In the first official report nre believed here to mean that the Japanese nt last have succeeded in capturing the chain of forts constituting the "fortified eastern ridge,” including the forts on Songshushan, Erlung and Keekwan mountains. It Is declared at St. Petersburg that there is every Indication that Field Marshal Oyama Is gradually developing a big movement with the object of occupying Mukden. Dysentery and typhoid fever have appeared at the fortress, and the deaths from these diseases average ten dally. It is stated also that the dissatisfaction among Geu. Stoesscl's subordinates la increasing. At the Russian emlwssy in Rome the belief is expressed that the Russian second Pacific squadron will go from Sues direct to Jibutil, as Mnssown ami Assnb, he ports of Evythrea, lack provisions, coal and dockyards; but, if necessary for urgent reasons, there is nothing to prevent them from landing there if they respect Italian end neutrality laws. Gov. Odell of New York, according to tit New York Times, has been offered the presidency of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and will accept after retiring from office at Goverinr.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

p The weekly review Phipann of Chicago trade, pub- » lished by R. G. Dun & Co., says: Bank deposits and clearing-house exchanges are largely ahead of those a year ago, and for the first time in local history both simultaneously record their greatest volume. While official statements disclose ample cash resources, there are Indications that money is now working into better general demand, and the discount rate •soon may advance from its present minimum. Trade has fully sustained recent favorable developments. Heavy distribution of manufactures continued and freight tonnage gained but while the weather was good for shopping it held too mini for a satisfactory disposition of seasonable retail wares. Wholesale shipments of staples and holiday lines to Interior points made a good aggregate. Late buying has been well maintained for the country, and city merchants bought more freely, most of the demands including dry goods, millinery, men’s furnishings, woolens and food products. Demand for jewelry, silverware and smokers’ articles showed a moderate gain. Orders for reassortments were of limited extent, but discounting of bills purchased was frequent and mercantile collections generally were reasonably prompt. Operations in grain were influenced by poor outside buying and heavy Argentine shipments. Forwarding from this port was only 2,674,327 bushels, a decrease of 37 per ceut as compared with corresponding week last year. Values suffered a sharp decline, corn being weakest and closing 5 cents a bushel under a week ugo. Provisions were in fair request, but producers made liberal offerings and quotations ruled slightly under last week’s. ReI ceipts of live stock, 301,071 head, fell considerably short of those a year ago. Sheep brought an advance of 15 cents a hundredweight, while hogs and choice beeves both declined 20 cents. Failures reported in Chicago disTrict numbered twenty-five, against twentytwo last week and thirty-four a year ago. Bradstreet’s weekly NPV Yfirk re P ort 0,1 tra^e condlcountry says: Reports from the great basic industries are more favorable and wliole--1 sale and jobbing trade in holiday and [ spring goods displays a more confident i tone. Interior buyers appear more 1 willing to stock up, and are meeting with fair success, despite the fact that unseasonable weather, activity in fall i farm work aud some holding back by ! farmers retards retail trade aiul collections in the West and Northwest. Cold weather at the East and seasonable conditions at the South induce better reports as to distribution from those sections. Trade generally is showing gains over corresponding periods a year ago, and the aggregate year’s business in most lines will make better comparisons than at one time seemed i>ossible. Money displays remarkable ease, crop moving necessities are about satisfied and a return flow from the country is apparently in sight. Gross railway earnings show a tendency to increase lute gains aud to swell earnings for the year to totals above those of 1903.
