NEW YoRK, February l3.-The bull
leaders promise an advancing market this
week. They do not look for rapid rise,
but anticipate steady gain in prices.
They say the market was made weak
Saturday for the encouragement Of the
short interest, and fer the purpose Of allow
ing certain operator to measure his hold.
ings. The short interest is believed to be
larger than indicated by the borrowing de-
mand. Some OF the great operators are
loaning stock with special reference to the
short interest. Room traders were very
bearish Saturday afternoon. The late de.
cline in Tennessee bonds is having an un-
favorable effect upon other Southern
securities. The Hannibal & st. Joe Com.
pany will, it Is said, endeavor to recover
the s., 100000 paid some time ago into the
Missouri State Treasury.
A private dispatch from Paris, Saturday,
said failures were occurring in all parts Oi
the country, and the markets would be
necessarily depressed for ut least sixty
days.

ton upon the Gould stocks, are buying

Of mining stocks, which will be rigidly ex

ers. The announcement has taken the
community by surprise, us no previous in

The natural inference was that it was in,

The Lawson boiler 10 be ExpIodcG-A
Scientific Experiment.

PlrTsDrRGn, February l3-This morn.
ing Captain John Fehrenbatch, United
States Supervising Inspector Of this district,
arrived here from Washington to conduct
experiments with the Lawson boiler at
Munhall's farm, p, V. & G. R. r. This
evening three chief officers OF the Navy
Department will arrive and make their
headquarters ut the Monongahela House.
The United States Navy yards Mt Philadel-
phia, Washington and Brooklyn will be
represented i'll this trio. Captain Fehren-
butch, with Local Inspector Neeld and At
klnsop will represent the Treasury Depart
ment. \Tle boiler will be fired up on We'd
nesday and Captain Fehrenbatch grimly
announced that ho intended to burst the
boiler or know the scientific and theoreti-
cal reasons why. Mr.. DIT. Lawson, Of
Wellsville, Ohio, has been busy for some
time at Munhalls farm preparing his boiler
for its coming fate.
Readers will remember the case OF the
experimental explosion Of the boiler at
MunhGll's. June 10th last. For that ex-
pertinent Mr.. Lawson has prepared PLAIN
cylindrical boiler, and proved his theory
correct by exploding it upon sudden re-
leasing OF the steam pressure by the open
ing Of u valve between the boilerand cylin-
der. The boiler burst at pressure OF $50
pounds per square inch. Mr.. Lawson's
theory in brief is that water raised to n
high temperature, when confined and
under pressure, will burst into steam when
the pressure is removed from the surface;
and il the exploding water meets resis.
tance. as in closed boiler, the effect Of the
conclusion will be greater than the steam
pressure.
The result of this experiment was such
rs to arouse general interest in Mr.. Law
sons device for preventing explosions. The
device is embodiedin the boiler to be burst
on Wednesday. The expense is borne by
Mr. lawson, whose faith in his theory
amounts TO; enthusiasm. His invention
comprises device which, forming part OF
the interior arrangement Of the boiler, dis.
tributes the sudden force generated by
opening the valve, in such way rs to
lessen or do away with the dangers OF ex.
plosions from this source entirely.

capacity was very short one. Since then
he has been the managing editor Of the

was noteworthy for fierce at

which were kept up through the local
columns Of the Republican for several
weeks. lie was next employed as the
Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore
AmericGn, the Indianapolis Journal, the
Sm Franciso Chronicle, and other papers.
His entire journalistic career was marked
by bitter personal attacks. 1t occasioned
good deal oiEurprise during his Albany

differences which formerly existed among
the leading Republicans on these subjects
seem to be healing, and the prospects for
