Gig O'CLOCK TO 3 O'CLOCK.
SATURDAY, Aug. 2S-P. \


The stock speculation in the early business to-
day was tame and insipid. First prices were about
the same as last evenings final figures followed by
a dull movement and unimportant declines. After
that the market staGnant and the fluctuations
were confined within range of the small fractions
But later a heavy selling movement developed,
aud prices dropped to per cent. The total bust
ness of the day amounted to the respectable figures
of 300 coo shares, but one-thrd of. the total was
done during the last half hour-from $50 to 8
O'clock. The early decline of about y per cent
supposed to be due to fear of the effect OF bad
showing by the bank statement; but the bank state
ment proved to be good compared with the previous
expectations that Is, instead of showing a
loss Of 100000 or $3,000.000, as was
anticipated, il showed loss of only
$G74 900 of the reserves. Yet the stock market
failed to respond by any advance in prices and
Gulness reigned as supremacy after the appearance
OF the statement it had dOue before its appear
ance. 1t was about o'clock when Central and
Hudson was dull at $780, Lake Shore at 1O7, Mich
igan Central at "a. Erie at 3o2 Western Union at
1851, ST. Paul at SS's, Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western at 0Ol2. Ncw-Jersey Central at Yea Wa
bash PREFER cd at 707s, lIanlibal and st. Joseph
preferred at s47s and Ohio and Mississippi al 3ll2.
The lowest and final prices in the general list
printed at the head Of the column will show the
change in prices, from those named, which rccur-
lod after 2 O'Clock. Taking ii all III
all it must be sad that the market absorbed the
stocks that were thrown upon it within an hour OF
the closing before a holiday remarkably well; but
the market closed weak aud unsettled
Government bonds were without sale at the
boaId, bat prices were firm. and the bids for per
cents were advanced . per cent Annexed are tie

ST. GEORGE, w. Va, January 10, $780,
On last sunday morning two strange horse.
men refined up at the door OF man named
PIftt, living on Cheat Mountain, and asked
for breakfast. Mr.. Pritt at first refused,
but his visitors Insisted so strenuousiy and
threateningly that finally he allowed them
10 enter aud partake OF the family meal.
He, however, regarded the strangers
with suspicion, and quietly sent boy to
a Justice OF the peace. Squire Hutton,
in the neighborhood. lie thought the
dies crip,ion OF the men corresponded
with that OF two horsc-thieves from Vir-
GINA, whom he had been cautioned 10
look out for, and started TO investigate
the case. For some reason, however, the
men became alarmed and left. Upon the
arrival Of the Squire two young men who
were passing on their way to church were
started in pursuit 10 catechse the strangers
ms 10 their destination aud business, and
soon succeeded In oyertaking them. They
hardly did so. however, until party Of
men on their way 10 church were observed
ahead Of them coming out OF side road.
This thoroughly alarmed the suspected
men, and they turned horse and fled.
Squire Hutton and neighbor met them,
but they refused to stop. and being hotly
pursued, drew revolvers, deserted their
horses, and took to the woods.
The next day two officers arrived, having
traced the men from Nelson county, Va,
where, il is alleged, they are wanted on a
charge Of murder. The other is supposed

DepiOrable Condition Of the Ken
lucky Pcnitenfiary.

CINCINNATI, January 20.-A dispatch
from Frankfort, KY, gives the report OF the
Prison Sanitary Committee made yesterday
to the Kentucky Legislature on the condition
OF the penitentiary. II describes deplora-
BILE state OF affairs. The committee finds
that there are eight convicts there confined
that cannot live more than few months.
There are at least fifty others, some Of whom
arc confined TO their beds, who in all pro-
liability cannot live longer than the latter
part Of the coming spring. About two
hundred others are in q state OF debility
and weakness, practically uniting them
for duty or work. The balance OF the con.
yicts are looking, and seem af-
iected by injurious influences which have
prostrated the Others. This state OF affairs
is due, in the opinion Of the committee, to
overcfOwding in the workshops, bad VEN
tilation, imperf,c ct sewerage, and lack OF
wholesome food.
