Police Patrol Driver Charles Flat nar was a hot and dangerously wounded by tha accidental discharge of a revolver In tha hands of City Jailer Thoroaa Sloana early yeaterday morning. At 1:90 o'clock yesterday morning a tele phone message waa received at police head quarters from the residence of Mrs. W. Lundean, 940 Avenue E to the effect that burglars were In the neighborhood and at tempted to enter her house. Platner and Sfonne. being tha only officers at the ste tloa available, responded, but when they reached tha Lundnen realdence found that tha burglars had disappeared. The officers started on a still hunt for tha burglars and discovered them In the act of raisins; a ladder, which It was learned later they had taken from the premises of Chief of Police Richmond on Avenue E, to an upstairs window In the realdence of Lincoln B. Hypes, 402 Oak land avenue.. The burglars, when they saw they were discovered, ran westward towards Scott street. Th offlcers started In pursuit, firing several shots at the fugitives, who soon parted. The offlcers had about brought one of the men to a halt when the accident occurred and the fellow made his escape. The lots on Oakland avenue slope to wards the west and there la a bank with protecting timbers. Along the top of the wood work a telephone wire had been strung by some of the boys residing In tha neighborhood and It was this, whllo Sloan was climbing over the bank, which tn some manner caught and exploded his revolver.

Platner as soon as possible was conveyed to the General hospital, where the bullet waa extracted.

Its agents here say that they still hope to save the steamer. Reports from points along the river tell of one of the worst fogs and smoke palls la many years. The forest fires raging for miles along either snore on the lower Bt. Lawrence river bave spread a dense cloud of smoke over the country which, added to the fog, makes navigation very difficult and dangerous. Word reached the pilot's office here today that all big liners were advised to anchor at Batjlucan. above the stranded Allan liner, while vessels In the lower river have been advised to move very warily. The fog and smoke still hang over the river today and three Liverpool liners, due here today, are detained indefinitely.

CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Dealer in All Linei Art Satitfied with Conditions, DRY GOODS BUSINESS STILL HEAVY Shoe Salesmen Rendy to Go oa the Road Again With Cool Weather Hardware Men Expect Big Trade. Jobbers are pleased with the fine corn crop that It now maturing, as It foretells greater prosperity for them this fall and winter, in three weens more it win an be safe from the frost. Trade the last week has been very satisfactory. The dry goods merchants have been much busier than they thought to be. The week be fore waa one of heavy trade, on account of the fact that the retailers were anxious to lay In a supply of prints before the ad vance in prices, and the Jobbers expected a rather small business lust week. They were agreeably mistaken, for both house and order trade was as large as before the advance In prints. Both hardware and leather Jobbers are preparing for a heavy fall tradn. Grocers are satisfied with their volume of trade, as they have been all summer. The movement of coffee last .week was as free as the week before. Prices are, If anything, a shade easier. It Is a strug gle now between the Braxillan speculators and the American buyers to see who can control the price. At present the Bra xillans seem to have the best of It. Dried fish are In good demand. New Holland herring has come and It Is about 10 cents higher than at this time last year. The situation on future corn haa been changed sormwhat.bv a few of the pack ers reducing prices', and others have thought best to follow suit. Their action, of course, has been Influenced by the In difference of Jobbers, mnny of whom do not care whether they get a case of corn before the first of the year. Short Crop of Tomatoes. Tomatoes are Just as quoted Inst week. From day to day gloomy reports come from the packing centers. From south west Missouri comes the Information that packers probably will not exceed BO per cent of their estimated pack. The follow ing Is a quotation from a letter Just re ceived from one of the Missouri packers: VA grower who got his crop out earlier than most growers, and who had hauled up about twenty tons of his patch up to last Snturday (having nine acres for his patch), has gotten but ten crates since that time, Ms crop being almost gone. Says he will hove no more. There are about half of our growers who hsve not been ahle to haul any as yet. so that with good weather from now until froRt we do n"t think we can have more than a fourth of a crop. It Is generally understood now that the packera will take advantage of their short delivery clause and not do Uver a case more than they have to on the guaranteed delivery." Jobbers are not buying tomatoes to any extent, but the situation remains In jui't as bad shape as at any time during the last three or four weeks. A sharp advance has taken place In two-pound canned blackberries, this ad vance amounting to I0f?'.lc. In Baltimore. Gallon unpeeled pie peaches have advanced 16c per dozen or more, while gallon peeled have advanced 60c per doxen above the opening price. Domestic sardines are a little easier, the run of flsh during the last two or three weeks having been very good. Salmon Advances a Little. The low basts of prices named last week on red Alaska salmon has caused art unusual trade In this article and it ii now reported that fully 700,Vo cases have been sold at the low price. This, of course, means a very wide distribution of red Alaska fish, and Jobbers generally be lieve It Is not only a safe purchase, hut sure to make the money. It Is learned now that the Alaska packers who Inaug urated thla low price have restored their price to the opening figure, which is 15c per dozen higher than their low price, and that other packers are taking advantage Of this increase in their price and selling at something under the Alaska packers.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta. Gv, CASH GR CREDIT STBtXT&, OrtAMA ' Labor 9foE been for some time, prices still remain firm and there Is no prospect of lower prices on flrst-clnss goods. The demand continues for dried peaches, with every prospect of present values being sustained. A good many packers are try ing to set released from a portion of their contracts and sre offering, short deliveries. It is an ussured fact that the packers aro going to lose very heavily on peaches this season because of short sales. Small Yield of Prance. Prunes are now In stronger position than they have been for some time past. The amount available IS from time to time be ing reduced, until now the best posted shippers say the California crop will not exceed 6.'.ou0.000 pounds, against something like 126.M),UUU pounds last year, to wmcn was added a good many millions of carry over. There Is no question, therefore, but that prices on prunes will run high throughout the season. No prices have yet been made on raisins, but these are expected early In this month. As the situation Is pretty closely con trolled by the Grower and Packers' aim, puny, it is exported that prices will run high. Most packers have withdrawn all offer ings of raspberries. It seeias now to be rather dltllcult to protect themselves on sales made early. I'nder active demand the market has advanced 1 cents per pound In New York state. Dry Goods Are Steady. Dry goods are practically unchanged In price from last week. Cotton Is still very scarce and the market shows a decided up ward tendency. It Is said that the mills In all parts of the country are Instructing their agents to talk 11 -cent cotton, as It Is almost certain that mills will have to pay In the neighborhood of that price for the staple they need to fill orders for some time. Since the mills have been so for tunate as to sell their products well ahead at their own terms, they mean to hold the advantage they have gained. The only ad vance noted for the week was one In car pet warp of lc a pound. Trade Begins In' Shoes. Leather had no advance for the week, but Is holding Arm at advances lately quoted.
