TAO FOB THIEF HEWING Postmaster. Aged 60. Keeping Tryst With Maid of 41, Is Placed Under Arrest. WILDWOOD. N. J., Sept. 3.—The c*i urse of mature love Joes not run cn-jioth here, it seems. Horace F. Leidig, KO ears oil. postmaster at Ottens, has been arrested as a burglar. Henry E Ottens, the most influential eltizen of the borough, declares he dis r vcred Leidig in his laundry. The post aster reluctantly avows that, far from be r.s a burglar, he was in the laundry t „ keep an appointment with Miss Kate (piers who has reached lhe not imma- • ,;e age of 41 years. Leidig swears he ha'< been courting Miss Ottens for a >ear at least, and that she has not ap peared unresponsive. ■rhe aged postmaster asserts he was ar'ested only because he removed the >,.,sioffice from a building Ottens owns. •;i s Ottens denies, saying emphatically: ;■ is ridiculous to say I caused Lei ,■ > arrest in a spirit of revenge. I pul li’C eld man in my house at night ari I run going to press the charge of ■gia'. against him. I object to his d-aracter and that is all there is to it.” Tells of Secret Wooing. ■ . ig. who was hailed promptly, com plained rather bitterly that he had been compelled lo meet Miss Otens secretly 10 . n his courting. The suitor of three . ore years said he has met Miss Ot tens for ten or fifteen minutes each even ing when she went to the basement of her brother’s house for ice water. To prove he is not a burglar, and had been trying only lo break Into the affections r.f Miss Ottens, Leidig exhibited several en [caring letters today which she wrote, he -aid. One assured him she will be true always. I eidig raid further that last evening he arranged for a meeting with Miss Ot tens through a housemaid. She assured I: m Ottens and Mr. Duncan, who is at •he Ottens cottage, were going out for 'e night and that nobody would be in the house but Mrs. Duncan, who is ill, and the cook. He Finds Laundry Open. Leidig then made an engagement and arrangements for the laundry to be left open. As soon as he closed the post . (Tice he went to the cottage, and find ing the laundry door open he walked in and waited for Miss Ottens to ap pear. Soon he heard footsteps. Ottens came, and. in a rage, struck him with a round of the balustrade and summoned one Levering, a policeman. Leidig was loath to involve Miss Ot tens until he found the charge of bur glary would be pushed against him. Then ha told. Leidig will sue Ottens. Ottens says Leidig is married and his wife lives In Philadelphia. Leidig denied this. lEIGE HEADING ISSETFMT.iI Change of Date Is Made at th”. Request of Representative of Railroads.

RENT INCREASES FOBCEDUTFIBNS Merchants Declare They Can ? t Meet Big Advances—Many Seek Cheaper Quarters. September this year brought its usual epidemic of moving, but not in has there been so many changes in the location of uptown business houses. More than a dozen prominent firms sought new quarters this month. High rents,” said one business man who was moving out. "What do you think of our rental jumping from $5,100 to $12,000 a, year? That’s why we had to move. Couldn’t make that in cigars and soda water.” The increased rents is n natural se quel to the remarkable advance in prop erty values as shown in recent sales of uptown business sites. Some of the small concerns iirTeachtree and White hall and the streets close by are paying rentals which would be out of the ques tion were not business equally as re markable. The highest rental paid in Atlanta, location and size of property consid ered, is said to be that of a cigar store and soda fount just north of the Kim ball house Peachtree entrance. The lease, it is said, calls for $15,000 a year, with $5,000 of improvements to be ex pended each year by the lessee, making a total of $20,000 per annum. The lease is for six years. Another cigar store a few yards north of this pays $17,500 a year rental, but it sublets a part of its lease-hold at a high figure. One small store in Marietta street, between Peachtree and Broad, had its rental raised, beginning September 1, from $3,000 a year to $7,700. more than 100 per cent.

GIRL WHO BROKTHER TROTH WITH CATLIN NOT ENGAGED AGAIN WASHINGTON. Sept. 3—" That ru mor is absurd. I don’t see why people start such lying tales about me.” In this vigorous manner Miss Lau ra B. Merriam today denied the ru mor, circulated in connection with .the announcement of the breaking of her engagement to Theron E. Catlin, of St. Louis, that she is engaged to wed an other man. Catlin is the Missouri rep resentative who was unseated by con gress at the last session. ”1 don’t see how any one has the nerve to question me about such a delicate matter,” said Miss Merriam when asked why her engagement to Mr. Catlin was'broken. “I only wish I could tell you the real reasons for it. It was the result of a mutual agree ment between us, but I can not say more than that.” JOAQUIN MILLER TO HELP REPRODUCE ’49 DAYS AT CALIF.

But Heavy Buying Brings Reaction and Advance. NEW YORK. Sept. 3.—Following the adjournment of the triple holiday and in readiness of the government condition re port to be issued today at It o’clock the cotton market opened steady with first [ prices a net advance of 8 to 24 points from the closing prices of last Friday. After the call a general buying wave prevailed by some large spot interest, trading chiefly on October. This option advanced from 10.85 to 10.95, while other positions developed irregularity from the opening prices. The weather condition through out the holidays was clear and warm which proved beneficial to the crop forc ing maturity. Shortly after the call shorts began to cover heavily and through their aggres siveness prices developed a further upward movement, carrying October to 11.18, ag gregating a net gain of 41 points from the close of Friday. Other positions ag gregated a 10 24-point advance. At 11 o'clock, central time, the govern ment issued its condition report on the growing cotton crop as of August 25, placing the figures at 74.8, against 76.5 a month ago. and a ten-year average of 73.6, showing a small deterioration from the previous month figures of 1.7 per cent. The report was considered as bearish when contrasted with previous reports, o' lhe most critical month of the cotton growing season. Immediately after tin report was published traders from every source began to liquidate heavily, which caused its usual depressing effect and prices quickly reacted, aggregating a loss of 3 to 9 points under the opening prices, or 19 to 33 points from the highest level of the day. The October option seemed to be under the heaviest realizing pres sure. A heavy buying wave prevailed during the afternoon, trading by large spot in terests and commission houses rendering their support, laying heavily of every position and prices developed a tendency x to bound forward, regaining the early decline. Prices during the last half hour i aggregated 20 to 27 points higher than the low level. At the close the market | was firm with prices a net gain of 30 to | 33 points from the final quotations of last Friday. / RANGE Or NrW YORK FUTURgS. i a s S si § h IQ'S >J Jr© O 2.0 Sept - Oct. 10.85,11.18,1.0.85:11.11 [1 L. 11.-12 10.77-78 Nov. f11.00i11.17i11.00111.17il 1.16-181 Dec. 11.04.1.1.28 10.98111.22'11.22-23'10.89-91 Jan. 10.92,11.17110.85’11.05 11.05-06 10.73-74 Feb. 10.90 11.13-10.5t011.1311 10.15 10.80-82 Meh. 11.05’111.27.10.95111.21 11.21-22'10.88-89 Apr. ,11.25'11.26 11.25H1.26i i May [11..20111.83[11.10[11.28[H.27-29[10.96-98 July_'lk23j.l.23| 11.23 11.23 11.31-33| Closed firm.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER I NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 3. -Mr. Hester makes the commercial crop for the sea son 1911-1912, H.l.'N.-Ui; bales. UverpOol lost 6 to 7 points since Friday, which she recovered this morning. Spots 2 points up since Friday. Sales continue very small 13,000 bales since Friday. The re covery in Liverpool today was partly due to the fear of a further disturbance to shipping by the threatened dock strike at Galveston. Many look for a widening in the market parity. The weather over Hie holidays was favorable, mostly fair and warm, except in the Western states, where it was cloudy with some light scattered showers. Indications point to unsettled weather with showers in the Western states, continued fair and warm generally in central and eastern states. The fair, warm weather cheeks insect damage and promotes maturity. Our market opened about 14 points higher in sympathy with the advance in Liverpool and New York, but when the cause of the advance in foreign markets, the possibility of a disturbed export movement by labos Roubles, became ap preciated. our market eased and sold at times under New York. Heavy and steady buying was reported from New York liy the spot houses which had re- . cently opposed the market strongly. No explanation was given for this sudden support, bit the strong advance in New York of 38 i>ofnts forced December here , to 11.20. The general opinion of the ad vance was that It was a move lo even up the market before bureau publication.
