New YORK, March 13.-The early deal
ings were characterized by much activity,
and sharp buying of Union Pacific, st.
Paul, the Wabashs, and Northern Pacific,
which were the favorites. Making haste
to cover by the shorts caused lively ad-
vance for time. After their wants were
supplied, the market dropped and reac-
tons of per cent followed. During the
boom Western Union Telegraph sold at
8558, the highest point reached in many
weeks. A dividend of ~ per cent. was
declared this afternoon. A failure in the
mercantile line affected prices somewhat in
the last hour. Union Pacific is quoted ex-
dividend Of "a per cent. The earnings of
gains. The transactions in it are light. An
advance on the rate for money to Is at the
last checked business.
Stocks did not yield to the extent that was
evidently expected by the manipulators
of the loan market. The railroad earnings
were an important factor in the rise, for
they all showed astonishing gains for the
first week in March. Chicago & Alton
earned an increase of $26.O41, and the st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba an increase
of $8,200. The Lake Shore gained $780,
600 for the week, and the New York Cen
trail $130,000, the earnings of both roads
for the fiscal year to date on a larger scale
than ever before. The Missouri Pacific and
its southwestern connections earned for the
week an increase of $146,13 Some
houses are exercised on account of the
condition of the money market, but the
general feeling continues moderately bull
ish. Operators are disposed to take profits,
but they buy back their holdings On reac-
tion with more confidence than heretofore.
tits noted that operators heretofore con-
sidered chronic bears are now the staunch-
est bulls. 1t is generally admitted that
business has shown considerable improve
ment during the past two weeks, and that
the outlook is distinctly better.

Sewers for Minneapolis.

MILWAUKEE, March 13.-Wm. Forestal,
J. G. F. Brand and Dennis Traynor, three
prominent city contractors, have taken
thirty-six contracts for constructing sew
ers in Minneapolis which altogether will
make six miles of brick and pipe sewer.
The aggregate cost will be about $15o,OOO.
They will take about thirty experienced
workmen from here, and employ at least
ITO Minneapolis men. That city has no
experienced sewer builders, consequently
outside capital and labor was called for.
Minneapolis has the money in its treasury
to pay for the work.

New YORK, Oct 29-Dealers in German
wines in this city were discussing very
earnestly the cable dispatch from Lon
don to the effect that German exports to the
United States of these articles are largely
decreasing, and that it is the result of the de
termination of the American public to re-
venge themselves for the disgrace to Amer
lean pork. Several analytic chemists who
have made Close study of the subject stated
that the probable Cause of objection to Ger
man wishes was the fact that anaIine dyes
are used in the eoloring, and that they also
contain an excess of mineral acids sulphurIc
acid, etc. On the other hand, other experts
insist that German wines are, as a rule, pure,
and that it is the wine manufactured in this
country that should be guarded against.

TORONTO, Canada, Oct 20.-Prof.
Hirschfelder, American vice-consul here, has
just discovered portions of the skeleton of
monster mastadon on a farm at Woodstock,
about fifty miles from here. Twelve years
ago, while some laborers were engaged in
digging drain on the farm where portions
of the skeleton were found, they
came across a gigantic bone, which
they threw to one side, and nothing
more was thought of it by them. Other
bones were found about two years ago and
exhibited, but only this week did news of the
discovery reach Prof Hirchfelder, and now

politan Journal,
Is what the Peoples Railway Conn
pany Wants from The Chicago
Times for an Alleged
FaIsity.

CHICAGO, Oct 29.-The Peoples Railway
Company of America has commenced suit
in the circuit court of Cook county against
Wilbur F. Storey for libel, placing the
damages at the enormous figure Of $500,oO0.
The action is based upon an alleged lbesous
publication which appeared Oct. l3 in the
Times. of which newspaper the defendant is
proprietor, in the course Of which was given
the alleged results of the Investigations of
reporter Of that paper into the stand
ing of the Peoples Railway Company. The
article took the shape OF an interview with
H. J. Phillips, an officer of the corporation in
question, in which he was made to explain
the plans and prospects of the organization
at great length. In the course Of the inter
view the following paragraph was inserted
by the reporter, and it is upon this that the
chief cause for the action rests:
1.-THE Peoples Railway company is as vii
famous scheme as was ever concocted to
rob poor, simple people of their money. In
telligent people stand in noperil from it. The
fraud is too transparent. It is the ignorant
and the poor whom it is designed to wheedle
out of 81 90 each who are in danger
Tie complainant company, through its nu-
merous attorneys, alleges in its bill that the
Peoples Railway Company of America is
an organization which exists for lawful and
laudable ends, and recites at great length
the objects which have brought the company
into existence and the glowing possibilities of
its future.
Just before the newspaper in question
printed the article upon which it is proposed
to recover $500, 600, circular was distributed
broadcast throughout the city which de-
scribed the scheme of the Peoples company
in graphic words, in which it was stated that
''the plans of this company will furnish an
equally profitable business, from which tho
people who build the lines and furnish the
business viii divide pro rata the profits
in proportion to the amount of their indi-
vidual interests The system of rail
roads 'tshall be built by the people and for

the assurance given to investors that their in
vestment is a sure one, it being further argued
that ''the intelligent and persistent efforts oil

of success" The motive power and
accumulated resources of the world all lie

concentration of these make up the grand

Peoples Railway company of America seeks
to adopt these principles as its motive power,
the circular stated, and then confidently as
serted that it was not unreasonable to sup
pose that the enterprise would earn s2e0O(
mile per year for each and every mile of it:

given that zone need not be surprised if hi

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct 29.-Ex-S Senator
Paddock, member of the Utah commission,
says: eve must have much more stringent
legislation before we can go any further than
we have already done. At the time of its
passage the Edmunds law was only regarded
as a preliminary step. 1t has succeeded about
as far as it could have done In the first place
it has DISTINGUISHED 15,00e polygamists, and, l
think, put a stop for the time at least to polyg
amous marriages" Paddock said that legis-
lation was needed to check the rapid growth
of mormonism, which was gaining great
hold in Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, and Colo
RADIO. One point in the additional legislation
sought by the commission is to make public
records of marriage necessary in order to
secure its legality This is suggested on ac-
count of the absolute impossibility of proving
a polygamous marriage because only NOR
mons are present.
