 The case of George w. Northedge, the watcher who committed breach of the peace against Mrs. Annie J. Bates, while taking care of her dying husband, Dec. 2, was again continued in the City court yester- day morning to Dec. 16, owing to the inabili- ty of the defense to proceed.
 The case of Theodore F.

Rehbein pleaded not guilty. He was defended by Lawyers Bo1lpann and Driscoll, while MT. Blydenburgh assisted MT. Cable for the State. Many witnesses were summoned. Ferdi- nand P. Jones, manager for Jefreys & Co.,, detailed the nature of Rehbein's pecu- lations and was subjected to a rigid cross-examination. He said that Rehbein had worked for the concern since July, 1883, and drove delivery wagon in and out of town. He was also empowered to take orders out side, wait on the store, sell goods from the wagon and to collect moneys. Last fall Jones found his accounts short and he showed the court bills that had been raised from the amounts of goods bought to s or s4 above, and then collected and receipted for by Reh- bein. Witness detailed other similar small peculations. The defense attempted to show that the young man turned in all moneys ta- ken in by him, and that from the very gen eral nature of his commissions his employers failed to show wherein he was dishonest. In short, that where he failed 10 make his col lections appear right in one case, he made them up in others. The witness had not fin ished testifying when court adjourned for the dav

 Feeling Among the Operators-Confi- dence ReY1ves Somewhat Toward the End and Prices Close a Little Higher.
 NEW YORK. Dec. g. The announcement of the failure of Opdyke & Co made just before the close of business ing caused considerable uneasiness on the street this morning, especially among the smaller operat- ors It was feared that the failure was the precur sor of others which would probably affect the mar: ket more severely than the one referred to- and as consequence when the board opened this morning there was considerable pressure to sell which con- tnued steadily during the first hour, and prices de- clined fractionally. About Il o'clock the selling was checked by the placing of number of supporting orders on the market by the bulls This action checkeo the decline and prices subsequently bid up. At noon the improvement ranged from M to per cent There was news of general na- tIre this morning to affect values Several reports were in circulation, among them one to the effect that the Lake Shore directors would declare diyi- dend or per cent to make it's aggregate diYidend6 per cent for the year. and another that Central Pa cific would probably pass it's February dividend. Neither of the reports could be verified Through. out the afternoon the market was dnil and the course of prices irregular The changes as a rule were insignificant and unworthy of special comment Several times the room traders on the bear side es saved to force values down, but they were with a stubborn resistance by. the cloues who steadily supported values and by their manipulation succeed ed in regaining every decline. As aresult figures at the close were about the best of the day beIng tonally higher than those current at noon No fur ther failures or embarrassment of firms were report ed, and there was nothing to disturb the tranquility o1 Lne market. Sales only 1S9 GOO shares The sreciaties were featureless and the trading them limited The executive committee of the Western Onlon to-day recommended the payment of the January quarterly dividend of 116 per cent
