lager beer saloon in Rondout Ulster county, and
the father OF an interesting ''bue-eyed blonde -

man named Lemus, the lover OF his daughter. AS
the good people Of Rondout were going TO their

musKet rang out on the silence OF the night and q
shrlll scream thrilled upon the AIR. In u few mo-
ments o crowd had collected around the house OF
Drinke, from which the report came. With trem-
bling hands the door was hastily opened, and in an
inner room was found the daughter Of Drnkle, mer-
cifully lost to consciousness lying upon the appa-
rently lfeless body OF Lemus, ner lover, her gar
ments dyed with his blood; and over them stood the

WALL STREET,


FRIDAY Dec. 3l-6 r. Nj, s
The last day Of the old year was made a partial
holiday BY the brokers' The Stock Excnauge ad-
,Journed alter the morning call ana the Long room
closed at nalf-past three. The Government Board
and Gold Room also adjourned earlier than the
usual nour.
VOLD-THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT SELL BELOW 100.
Tho feature OF interest was In the gold market,
where considerable sensation produced by the
Erefusal or the government 10 accept bids for gold
below the rate OF 100. To-day was the pro-
sGramme for the sale OF o million al the SubTrea-
tsury, where at noon bids had been submit
ted for a total OF over million and half
dollars at prices ranging from 1902 to 12o.o2. 1t
will be remembered that few days since notice
had been received from Washington that in future
mo bids would be accepted which were more than
nalf per cent below the market rate at noon the
day Of sale. 1t was. therefore, expected tnat all
bids today above ll91z would be accepted to the
extent OF the million 120 being the price in the Gold
Room at twelve O'Clock Mr. Folger, having tele-
,graphed the bids to Washington, received orders TO
accept only those above TO- Consequently only
$4,000 out OF the million sold, the bids above
100 being one for $4,000 at 120.o2 and another for
like amount at 12O.0l. 1ne gold market iminedi-
.atey strengthened upon this news and the
prtce ran up TO 1909. 1t IS curious fact,
however, that certain parties IN the Gold Room
Seemed to be aware OF the Secretary's Intentions,
