NEW YORK MARKETS CLOSEDi WALL STREET DESERTED. Chicago Record-Herald; Protracted meet ings of the special elevator committee which has taken up tbe controversy with the ele vator proprietors are now being held dally. Legal advice on n numl»cr of tne questions arising or likely to arise In view of a poa-. slide radical change from the present sit uation waa had by tbe committee yesterday. A Jong meeting waa hsld In the president t room and nothing was given out. for publl- cation. There waa considerable expression of opinion on the floor ai to the outcome im* niaue avanniue in auu near me cuy. sou that the present regular elevators could be left out of consideration if need be In the settlement of the matter. They held also that the railroads were not as much under tbs domination of the big alerator concerns as formerly, and that the elevators would be the big losers even if they held together to the end of the fight, which wss not re* S rded as likely. The elevator people iracterlxed the reply of the board of trade officials as to the slevstor men’s statement of Saturday as a very weak doc ument which, told nothing. The elevator men claim that it was evident that the officials were still going on the mistaken assumption that the elevator Interests were not serious and would fall to do aa they had planned.

They advanced as much as 20 Engtl*n points, Spot prices are 24 higher; sales 5.000. AUbonau tbs explanation Is given tint recent sellers in New York covered in the English market, •we believe the advance Is due to tbe more sobetantlsl reason of general protective hedge buying by the trade. Forward mill engagements are reported heavy, which, combined with continued bad crop newa, had to result In such a tension that Just such an outburst as we hare seen today was the only solution in the way of par tial relief. Should tbe government bureau condition be below 70. as appears quite like- ly from all our Information, the trade buy ing win probably become a constant sup porting feature In the markets. Ft rat trades here were at nu advance of about 5) S ts. and trading settle*! around onentug *es. There waa considerable proflt-tak- an action which appears commendable for various reasons. It la an absolute fact that prospects for fall supplies next season are bad. and tbe possibilities on the bull aide correspondingly great, bat at present and for the next three months we are only dealing with prospects. Tbe help of the spot man and the solution on tangible facts will not be until September. Specu lation baa done much and will accomplish mors for the country If It can maintain this price level during the Interim. Weather conditions In tbe central and west l»olt sgsln bad during the psstt wenty four hours. Bains were quits general. What Indications we have to go by point to more rain In the central states; also In the Car olina!. and partly cloudy weather In the western half of the belt. The Into eight . ATLANTA MARKETS.

CITY FLOODED; CARS STOPPED MYSTERIOUS INSCRIPTION FOUND ON NEW LAID EGG' AROUSES FRASER STREET Letters Stand Out in Bold Relief From Shell. "Bleated are peacemakers, but woe to breaker*. Amen, I will come again. Pray on, sister. Amen.” That Is an inscription more worthy a stained glass window than a hen's ege, and when Mrs. Mollle Douglass, of 889 Fraser street, found tbe.words on the latest product of her poultry flock on Wednesday afternoon, sne was shocked, surprised, jarred and other things. And since then the whole neighborhood has been leaning over Mrs. DouglasB' fence. Sounds like a joke, doesn't It But to the good people of Fraser street and the vicinity. It Is no Joke. Many of them consider It a revelation from above, or a message from tho dead. It was Mrs, Harris, n neighbor of Mrs. Douglass, who really found tho egg. It was reposing In the soft dirt under the house, and was still warm when Mrs. Harris picked It up. As she handed It to Mrs. Douglass, the two women saw something that made them almost drof> the fragile egg. In white letters, raised trom the egg shell as though eaten by some acid, was an Inscription which stood out In bold relief and nearly covered the oval from tip to tip. Its text Is given above. The news spread through* tho neigh borhood, and soon every man and wom an and baby In the block was present GENERAL STRIKE OF TELEGRAPHERS MAYJEORDEREO Reports State That Commer cial Operators Will Demand Increase. Montgomery, Ala., May 30.—^There Is a general belief that the commercial telegra phers over tho country will strike on June 1.

BALLOON IS FOUND BUT NO AERONAUTS London, May 12—Much concern Is felt for tbe safety of Lieutenants CauJ- tlehl and Leake, of the Royal engineer*, who made a balloon ascension Tues day. Their balloon was found today by a fishing smack In the English chan nel. It la hoped the officer* have been picked up by some panning steamer. Tho report traveled further than that before dark, and at nightfall more than a thousand persons had vlalted the Douglass home to see the egg. Many of them took the message as a warning, and after a crowd had gath ered, someone began an Impromptu sermon based on tho message from the supernaturaL One well-known resident, who was overcome by emotion, straightway declared hls Intention of leading a better life. There was a re ligious fervor in the atmosphere that thf district hml m.t known before. The hen which laid the egg Is just a plain, every-day kind of hen, with no bad habits and no Indications of being a prophet. She has laid a few soft- f-Hi-Il.-'i egg-' lately, hut Mrs. Douglass has forgiven her for that. The hen was bought, with others, by Mrs. Doug lass' husband, who died some time ago, nnd Mrs. Houglnss Im Inclined to look upon the egg and Its inscription with a degree of awe. Tho mysterious egg was then taken to tho store of C. P. Richardson, at 365 Fraser street, where It was placed on exhibition. During Wednesday after noon nnd Thursday thousands visited the corner nnd took a peep at the egg and Its Inscription. Some of them were skeptical, but they-couldn't explain It. “No acid could have been used to eat away that egg shell without softening till, egg," says Mr. Richardson. "The egg was warm when it waa found, and Is perfectly fresh. If it Is a fake, then why?” And all Fraser street shakes Its head and murmpra In tho words of the Dane: "There are more things 'twlxt heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamed of In your philosophy." Or If they don't say It that way, they remark: "Gee, wouldn't that Jar you!” AFTER MURDERER OF FATHER CASPAR Believe He Is on Atlantic, and Steamers Are Be ing Watched. London, May 30.—The admission by Scotland Yard officials that they are seeking the alleged accomplices of the murderer of father Caspar Varlanlan, the Armenian priest murdered In New York, has aroused great Interest here, and one suspect Is believed to be under arreat, but the police refuse to confirm the rumor.

All steamers from America will be closely watched, as It lb believed the actual murderer Is now on tha Atlantic.

AMERICAN CIGAR COMPANY Manufacturer A CHOPIN GIVES A CONCEPT TO UNWILLING LISTENERS When the last guest had nought hls room at tho Piedmont Wednesday night, retired.to dream of the muelc festival, he did not reckon on a musical accompaniment to hls slumbers. Nei ther did tbe rest ot the guests, but they had 1L It was about 1 o'clock when It com menced. Into the open windows on tho north side floated the strains of a staccato-ragtime Improvisation that would have made Wagner hike from hls tomb and hunt the Black ForeBt. Then the barking and howling of a dog rose upon the night air. "It'e the overture from The Flying Dutchman,'" muttered one drowsy guest. Signor Campanarf. baritone of the aunny South, sat up suddenly when an unusually discordant note came over hls transom.. “It mu»t-a be that-a dam tenor re hearsing," he remarked. "He see rot' ten."

The finance committee of council voted favorably on the site Thuraday morning, upon the reeommendatlon of G. H. Brandon, chairman of the special committee from the board of health, appointed to look Into the matter. The lot la amply large, and on It has been erected a three-ntory, forty-room brick house, which, Mr. Brandon says, will make a splendid hospital for pa tients with contagious diseases. The cost of the building and lot Is 39.000. Councilman Grant, a member of the finance committee and chairman of tho school committee, reported that about 313,000 had been saved from the repair fund for the schools, and asked that a few thousand be gdded. so that all the schools that needed repairs, repainting and the like could be fixed during the streperous. Finally the guests,arose In their might and pajamas and began calling the night clerk. Their protests were loud and long, but the noise from next door almost drowned their voices. Then an Investigation was made. Inside a moving picture show, next door to tho Piedmont, Is a piano, and Wednesday night the piano was left open. The theater Is also the proud possessor of a fox terlrer rejoicing In the nnmo of Chopin. The terrier was locked up In the theater at closing time, and an open piano and a dog with such a name formed a combination which could but cause trouble. When tho policemen reached the the. ater and peeked through the window, Chopin was running up and down tha keys, tapping out a nocturne In every flat in the block, and making a etren- uou* effort to render the mad scene from Lucia to hls own accompaniment. The officers could not open the door, so the concert continued until morning. But what a temper those opera sing ers are In! Musicians have such a jealous temperament, you know! summer. The committee voted favor- ably. Colonel Clifford L. Anderson Bnd Major E. E. Pomeroy appeared before the committee and urged that 11,000 be appropriated to help defray the ex- peneea of tho Fifth regiment to Jamfi- town. Tho committee agreed to lay aside 31,000. The paving of Edgewood avenue was assured, the committee appropriating 318,000 for this purpose. Nassau Wins Harlem Regatta Williams Bridge, New York City.
