Police Suspect that Mrs. Anna Booth Was Vic- tim of Violence. ‘The Brooklyn police are working on @theory that Mrs. Anna Booth, a widow forty-five years old, who was found dead to-day in the boarding house which she conducted at No. 22 Sack- ett street, may haye been the victim of violence. There were bruises on the woman's body, blue marks upon the face. the eyes were discolored and the “nose apepared to have been broken. Upon the strength of a story told by Clifistopher Eilers, a lodger at the ho the police are detaining Mrs. step-brother, Henry Stegman, thirty-tive yeais old upon ihe tecanical charge of vesrancy pending a fuller investigation. It Was early to-day, while Capt. Zimmerman und, | Policeman Larry ul were walking long the tene- ment, lanived of Sackett that 4) street, tw them, frightened and out of breath. eis &, woman dead back yon- i in No. 223,” he gusped. The bluecoats went with him. He them up a dark filght of staiis to @ small bedroom on the third floor. women's body. fully clothed, lay upon the floor. While the policemen. waited for a patrol wagon to come from the Butler street station for the dead woman, Eilers made this state- ment to them: “Mrs. Booth and her step-brother, lenry Stegman, were always quarrel- Ing about money. He lived with her re, but he only paid her a dollar or a week, and they used to have ‘words often. Yesterday I was in m: on this floor when he came in an to abuse her. Then I heard them fing. I got tired of it after a while 4nd went into Mrs Booth's room and told him I would punch his head. He went away. Last night he came back. It was about 10 o'clock, I guess. He stopped by my door and cussed me and then went on into her room. 1 went to wieep. The next thing I knew was when Gtegman woke me up and told me his + step-sister was dead. Then he left the house.

Stock market values continue to shrink and desertions from the bull ranks are numerous, In a majority of cases these desertiona are only temporary. Traders who ‘have been operating on the bull side of the market, but who cannot af- ford to carry stocks for any length of time on the downward grade, now eee @ chance for quick turns by operating on the bear side. As soon as prices swing upward these eame brokers will again become ardent bulls, The valiant contingent that always, stays on the bull side, rain or shine, manifested eome @nxiety to-day when a rumor floated throiigh the Exchange that James R. Keene and John W, Gates were both bears. Mr. Keene quietly informed in- quirers that he not acting on the bear side, and Mr. Gates's representa- tives said that he was heartily bullish on general conditions, and expected that certain stocks would move up sub- stantially within a few days. Profes- sional tipstera are telling thetr patrons that now 1a the time to buy any one of half a dozen low-priced stocks, such as Southern Radlway, Erte, Wabash and Gouthern Pacific. Interesting develop- merits are promised in these low-priced stocks very soon. One influence that contributed might!- ly to the early depression of the market was the fallure of out-of-town custom- ems to respond to cally for additional marging sent out by the commission houses last Saturday. Several hundred letters asking for margin remittances were sent out after che close of the market on Saturday, and apparently nearly one-half of the responses were unfavorable. A number of speculative accounts were consequently liquidated im a hurry. The smaller Western op- erators were especially weak-kneed, most of them getting out with losses ranging from to 3 points. In eome instances forced liquidation was due to the calling of loans, borrowers being compelled to sacrifice thetr holdings in order to meet their bank obligatio The trading element generally is dis- appointed at the failure of the U. 9. Steel stocks to show bullish sentiment in consequence of the acquisition of the Great Northern ore lands. It is com- mon belief that this ore deal places the ‘big steel corporation in a very strong postition so far as future ore supply is concerned. The Tennessee Coal and Iron Company now stands second to the U. 8. \Steel Corporation as the hold- er of large tracts of ore lands in this country. There is a clearly defined theory in Wall street that Mr. Morgan and Mr. Rockefeller are largely inter- ested in Tennessee Coal and Iron and that as coon as all of the details of the Great Northern ore deal are ar- ranged. steps will be taken to annex the Tennessee Coal and Iron properties to the U. 8. Steel Corporation. Although many thousands of acres of the Ten- nessee Coal and Iron ore lands have not yet been opened experts in the em- ploy of this company, making what they call a conservative estimate, say that Tennessee Coal and Iron has got at least 650,000,000 tons of iron ore in the ground. The possible yield of the Great Northern ore Jands has been put @t_ 500,000,000 tons. ‘There was some buying of Chicago & Northwestern following the official an- nouncement that the directors had de- clded to issue $16,267,400 of additional common stock which was authorized by the stockholders some time ago. This new stook will be distributed at par among such stockholders of record as care to subscribe for it. Inasmuch as valuable right4 are involved, it is not expected that any stockholders of rec- ord will fail to subscribe, A second rally in prices occurred about noon, which In part may_have been occasioned by the favorable Chicago & Northwest- ern, influence, The Dehiware & Hudson directors yoted to-day to issue $7,000,000 of ad- ditional stck—when required. This new stock, it is explained, is to be used to exchange for the new $14,000,000 4 per cent. 10-year debenture gold bonds. The proceeris of thase bouds will be applied to improvements and the purchase of Rew equipment, A puzzitng feature of to-day's trad- ing was the free selling of Amalga- mated Copper and the apparent indif- ferenve of the Dackers of that stuck to Hts wenkness, An impression grew @pace that the big wperators in the copper stocks were not unwilling that the price of Amalgimated should go even a Uttle lower, in order that they may buy dt in and ‘realize on the next upward moven-ent.
