advanced Sd on lard and 6d@1s on bacon.
Eastern markets showed little change. The
receipts of product were fair, and the ship
ments of all kinds quite large. The inquiry
for mess pork was only moderately active
and the offerings quite liberal. Prices
were advanced 5@1Oc early in the day, but
receded 15@20c, and closed rather quiet.
Cash quiet and steady. February sold
sparingly.
The demand for lard was quite brisk
and the offerings free. Prices were adj
vanced % sc per 100 pounds early in the
day but settled back again 10@1219c and
closed steady. Cash quiet.
Live hogs sold 5000 lower to-day, al
though the receipts we're but 1900.
No very marked change in prices have
occurred in provisions and only moderate
business in the aggregate was transacted.
The shipping demand was uniformly re-
ported as quite good, especially by manu-
facturers, though mainly for meats. The
South has been liberal buyer, and dis
tributing' merchants have purchased rather
freely for immediate and future delivery,
which would indicate that they at least
anticipate a continued liberal consumption
and not much, if any, lower prices for the
product. The purchases on foreign &C
count have been also liberal and continent
making longs and shorts rather freely, and
the exports promise to show up literally
as there are fears that Germany may go
still further with its unjust legislation and
prescribe American lard as it has
done pork and bacon. Shipments
Of lard from this point, however, are re-
ported light, our market being relatively
above New York, freights, etc., considered,
Shipments of pork were only fair IL the
leading articles. Speculation has been
just moderately active, if we except short
ribs, in which transactions have been es-
pecially large. Prices have ruled some
what irregular, but the changes were con
fined within comparatively narrow limits,
and where the market was strong one day
it was generally weak the next one, so that
as compared with week ago mess pork
and lard show hardly any change, while
meats are 1s@4c per pound higher. It
is generally surmised that she stocks at
this point are in comparatively few hands,
and the trade seems to be wanting to learn
what leading operators are going TODD
with the property. AS noted heretofore.
the trade is generally bullish, bat the ma
iority ara exercising considerable caution,
and do not seem disposed at present to
back their opinions By either buying or
selling freely. Receipts Of hogs are a lit
tie larger than last year, and since the first
of November shows @ small increase, while
we are ahead in our packing at Chicago
some $4,000 head over corresponding
time last season.

New YoBK, Feb. 24.-The activity go no

morning, and in consequence we have been
treated to dali and uninteresting market
for the greater part of the day. Prices
were rather steady until the bank state
ment made its appearance, when there
was general giving way, which continued
until the end. The reserve shows a de-
crease of $2,465, 1925. A small amount Of
gold was received from Europe to-day, but
it failed to benefit the situation. The

week of February gives a decrease of $l8,-

Rod loses $1,000. Weakness character
terized the dealings at this end and
about the lowest prices for the
day ruled as the exchange closed. The
law of averages indicate that prices should
have some further advance. The days of
decline since the 1st of January have
largely exceeded the days of advance. This
may be a rather poor foundation upon
which TO build expectations for higher
prices, but it is quite as trustworthy as
many of the points upon which stocks are
bought and sold. A prominent member
of the Vanderbilt party said this forenoon
that he considered prices at hard pan, and
thought it was time to operate on the long
side rather than or the short for several

NEwPoRr, R. /, Feb. PA fire occurred
in the house of Sheriff Easton. The only
persons in the house at the time were the
hired girl, Anna Lennon, eighteen years Of
age, and Jennie Easton, five years old, the
baby OF the household. The rest of the
family were at festive gathering at Odd
Fellows hail. Anna Lennon slept in an
attic room over the furnace, where the fire
originated, and little Jennie was asleep in a
northwest bed room in another part Of the
house. Annie was awakened by the
smoke, which then filed the house, and,
getting up and waiting to put on only a
skirt, made her way down stairs. The
back door being locked, she got out OF a
window in the south end of the house and
on to cellar porch, and thence to the
ground. Then she went in her bare feet
over the ice and snow to give the alarm to
the neighbors. She first appealed to some
who had already gathered near the house,
to rescue the sleeping child. Getting no
response she made her way into the house
N the same way that she had come out,
and went up to the childs room. She was
forced to feel her way along to the bed
and the child, so dense was the smoke.
Thus she secured the child and brought it
down stairs and out into the yard in
safety, although little more delay would
have endangered the life of the child. Her
own clothes and those of the child were
considerably burned, but both escaped
bodily injuries. There is a NOV ement on
foot to substantially recognize the bravery
OF this girl.

ANOTHER CONVICT MUFIEY AND ESCAPE.
HELENA Ark, Feb. PA deplorable
tragedy was enacted three miles below Hell
ena this forenoon. j. Fl. Grant had seven
ty-fve psnitsntisry eonvicts employed at
work on the levee below the city. It seems
they had made an arrangement to capture
the guards and escape. One of the con-
victs was working spading dirt near the
guard. He knocked the guard down.
Other convicts then rushed upon the other
guards. At this time Grant came upon
the scene, riding g horse. He fired
at the convicts, bat seeing them
ar2ed, he turned to retreat, WHOM one OF
the convicts fired, the load passing through
his body killing him instantly, seventeen
convicts then made their escape. They
came across q lot of negroes working near
and compelled them to change clothes. A
posse of citizens have gone in pursuit, but
up to the present writing none Of the con-
victs have been captured. Grant was an
energetic citizsn and the people mostly
depended on him to keep the leyee from
Helena to old Tosr from breaking. The

GoRRTNGE's RESIGNATION.

A great deal of feeling is evinced here
because of the resignation of Lieut.. Com
mander Gorringe. The general sentiment
is that Gorringe has not been treated fair
ly. His resignation has not been yet &C
cepted. He wrote to the president all the
facts in the case. Gorringe was simply
forced to resign. He has had hard time
of it ever since he became naval officer.
He was not graduate of any naval acad-
envy, but was simply volunteer officer
whose services were detailed because OF
his fitness and ability as a naval officer.
He has had obstacles thrown in his way
and sights put upon him simply because
he had not graduated from Annapolis, and
was not therefore regular. The naval
officers refer to him as that id mus
tang" When he attained national promi-
nence because of his successful transporta-
ton of the obelisk from Egypt to New
York, regular officers were madden than
ever. They could not see for the life of
them why Vanderbilt had selected that
d mustang for that duty. Ever since

copies made, and sent the autograph to his

its mild hint of possible disturbance
of peace at the close while it smacks of
the Cooper style of putting words into the
mouth of the noble red man is genuine in
this case, as could easily be judged from
its similarity to the chiefs spoken senti-
ments and terse sentences. It is only oc-
casionally that the routine of the capital,
without single touch of poetry in it, like
the lines of the ''Pirates of Penzance," is
broken by so romantic passage as the
big chiefs coming alone to the law chief
to ask for justice in his own language and
with savage simplicity of manner and
method.

Sir: In compliance with the request of
Lieut.. Commander Henry Il. Gorringe,

corning his resignation as naval officer,
have the honor to inform you that there are
no charges pending against him and no eyi-

A DISPUTED CASE.

The truthiuness OF Lady Florence Dixics
story OF the assault upon her is denied by all
the Irish leaders, who claim to believe that
the affair is merely pretence to still more
iHiamc the English people against Ireland
the logic being that no Irishman would as
sault woman; that Lady Florence has CIV
TN many proofs of her friendship to Ireland /;
she is good Irish woman, and therefore she
invented this story and stabbed herself in Or
der to bring the Irish cause into contempt
and hatred. Opposed to this beautifully
consistent theory is that of Patrick Joyce,
the secretary of the Fenian brotherhood, who
says; "She has always been friend to
ireland, and she was quite right 10 showing
up the Land-League and Pat Egan too 1t
was the English government did it." OF this
view of the case the Worcester Spy well
says, that If Mr.. Joyce would tell all he
knows it would probably be discovered that
the Marquis of Harrington and Sir Vernon
Harcourt were the distinguished assassins /;
that they we're directed in their nefarious
work by Mr. Gladstone, to whom the plot
was suggested by the Queen in recent in
tervicw at Windsor, and that her majesty is
now i'll with remorsc and modification ut its
