Am AstOnished Ex-Hotel Keepsr-A Case
 of Restitution.
 An incident happened to MT. Grove c. Aus tin, formerly proprietor of the Austin House in this city, which was not only pleasing to Mir. Austin, but which when it becomes gen orally known among hotel keepers will start up new hopes regarding many dead and buried board bill account, which we trust will not be hopes ending in smoke. MT. Aus tin received a letter this week. On the en- velope was his address, "Grove o. Austin, 321 State street, New Haven,' Conn" Open ing it he found sheet of note paper with nothing written upon 1t, except
 'tTo the former proprietor of the Austin House in 1878"
 Mir. Austin's attention was first directed on opening the letter to layer of small bills neatly enclosed in it. Enrolling them he found there were $8 in all. There was nothing ex- cept the information already givento show why the money was sent, or where it came from, or who sent it. MT. Austin naturally concludes it is case of conscience money and'to who ever sent it he is obliged. Mir. Austin has score of old accounts on his books which he would like to see squared up and he would like to see and shake hands with the man who sent the $9 in token of having obliterated any bloody chasm of indignation which he may have temporarily felt owing to the un- cancelled bill. He is not going to sit up nights, however, in expectation of getting any more letters of this kind.

 The market continues dull, but firmly held and to- day the supporters of the leading stocks prices up slightly the closing quotations tonight showing an advance of to 1A per cent. fer the active 1sts while the specialies showed still sharper rise in cases. There were several rumors the street to-day, among them that Gould, who has been sup porting the market since the operators strike commenced, had become pressed for money to GETTY out his schemes and sustain the market and had made demand of the banks for funds, threatening if they did not accommodate him he would cause panic which would be very disastrous in its results. This report ridiouled by ih e Gould people, who stignatized it a stock jobbing ramor, saying at ths time that Gould had pIen- y of money and was well able to carry his line of stocks Another report was that telegraphers the Missouri Pacific, Wabash and other of the Gould roads were preparing to strike and that the engi- neers on the roa5 had agreed to join them On thess reports the bears raided the stocks named but with very little success, all offerings being freely taken and the prices well sustained At the lowest figures these stocks only showed decline of 5S to z pei cent. but this was subsequently, recovered aud in stocks closed at the best figures of the day Outside of these reports there nothing of interest today the market dragging along small transactions with generally slight and unimportant fluctuations Wes- tern Union is still strongly he'd closed IS higher than llst night.

AL1vely Time with a Drunk

Yesterday afternoon while Officer Bissell was on his beat at Custom House Square 8 man considerably intoxicated passed by him with satcheI in hand bound to the depot Soon after the stranger passed he made sev- eral uncomplimentary remarks loud enough for the officer to hear Not content with this he began to shake his fist in threaten ing manner. The officer followed the man, who had got into the depot He was de termined to go to Portchester immediately, although a train would not leave stopping there until an hour later. As he was making himself obnoxious, and Officer Kennedy being informed of his former con- duct, he was placed under arrest He re- sisted and was place in a wagon and brought to the station house While being searched he kicked and thrashed around in lively manner. He was placed in cell, where he cried and behaved like crazy man. He was very anxious to get out and skip the town, as he feared twenty days for his little sport. His name was later ascertained to be Dusen- bury Abrahams
