Detroit, Aug. 12.—Frank J. Cook and Daniel Vreeland, special de tectives for the Lake Shore Rail road, who were killed last night by Special Officer William Burnett, of Stock Market Again Demoialized By Associated Press. New York, Aug. 12.—Conditions ap parently demoralizing again over took the stock market today. Open ing prices were substantially lower v/ith pronounced weakness in Union Pacific which has been the central figure of the past fortnight’s liquida ting movement. Declines spread throughout the list, being especially marked in the high er class stocks. In fact it is assumed that other securities of less known merit have not fallen proportionately because of their probably being frac tionally unmarketable at this junc ture. There was no news to account for the continuance of the liquidation which before the end of the first half hour extended to 4 points in Union Pacific, that stock selling at 170, later yielding some more. The* market if surface conditions may be taken as a criterion, was entirely lacking in support, there apparently being no material change at the apparent recessions which now extend from 15 to 20 points since the early part of last week.

In rounding the second turn of the steep hill the brakes failed to work. Lane was seen ahead and the party yelled to him to get out of the way. As the road was narrow James had to choose between dash ing his party over the precipice or plunging into Lane, Lane is suffering from internal injuries and may not live.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 12.—“What is a highball?” is the question puzzling the minds of a committee of the cen tral body of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union of this city. At a meeting of the union recently it was re ported that the various drug stores in the city were selling “highballs’’^ to w’omen, contrary to law. A committee was appointed to investigate the report but immediately wanted to know, “What is a highball?” A sub-commit tee will furnish the desired informa tion in a few days, when the original investigation will be started.

Sanitary Policeman Roberts asks The News to request the mer chants not to put trash on the streets after the street cleaners have made their rounds. Saturday night; he also requests each merchant or up town business man to have the side walks swept on the closing of the store Saturday night so thee ity will present a cleaner appearance on Sun- daj'. As it is the sidewalks are as dirty as they can be on Sundays. Surely the men who have business places have civic pride enough, even if the law does not compell them, to keep their sidewalks clean—es pecially on Sunday. Why should Charlotte not be a clean city? It can be if the citizens will take interest enough in it to keep tlie sidewalks clean. Another thing Mr. Roberts calls attention to by order of the mayor, is the spitting or dinance. This, mayor Bland has given imperative orders to have enforced. Charlotte is a fine town—a pretty town—but its best friend can not call it a clean town. The fault is with the citizens who own buildings or conduct business up town. They have an eye to busi ness but not to dirt. “BEST IN THE STATE' Madrid, Aug. 12.—Recent events, in cluding the mutiny on the Spanish bat tleship Numancia indicate the politi-j cal unrest and the serious difficulties met by the government in its attempt to maintain order.
