NEW YORK.



NEW YORK, Feb. The market seemed
inclined to be sluggish during the greater
part of the Gay. The various bear rumors
helped to unsettle values. They had ar
ranged for q break in Western Union
Telegraph, to De followed by decline in
the Wabash lines, and Louisville & Nash
vile, all of which failed to be accom-
plished. Mr.. Gould, it is still believed, is
underneath several stocks, but the outside
support is so meager that at t1mss it
looked as though the advance had about
eliminated. Quite short interest in Cen
tral Pacific was covered this morning,
causing and advance from sac to 5615c,
with some excitement. This was the most
important change during the session.
There were free offerings of West Shore
bonds, which caused weak and unsettled
feeling in them. About 2 o'clock the bulls
appeared to be taking a fresh hold. There
was a squirt in st. Paul, Lake Shore, Union
Pacific and Delaware & Lackawanna, and
the market generally became quite buoy
ant. Western operators as general thing
do not attach much Importance to these
spasmodio improvements. They credit
them entirely to manipulation, and do MOI
think there is much stability in present
prices. Stocks were rather firm at the
finish. st. Paul and Union Pacific being
particularly so. Chicago & Alton sold al

BALTIMORE, Feb. 1.-The annual report
of W. S. Barnard, secretary of the Balti
more g. Ohio Employees Relief ~~associa-
tion, submitted to the annual meeting of

been: Premiums of members, $233, ,963.-

temporary investment of funds, $12,S05.-

for outstanding liabilities and for insur-
ance reserve and annuities, $85,966 70;
net balance, $5O,726.36. This was set
aside by order of the committee, for con-
tinuing during the present fiscal year the
100 per cent. additional natural benefit.
Robert Garret, president of the Balti-
mora & Ohio and ex-oficio member
of the associations committee of
management, participated in the
discussion of the report. He had watched
the progress of the association with much
interest, regarding it as an institution ex-
clusively under control of the members.
The management had succeeded in build
ing up the greatest benevolent railway
association in this or perhaps any other
country. The company had profted by
the increased efficiency of the old mem
bers of the association who were anxious
to enjoy the benefits it confers, and also
through the better physical and mental
condition of those newly enuering the ser
vice because of the careful medical exami
nation inauguratea by the association.

Chorges of Cutttag Rates.

New YORK, Feb. 1.--At the meeting Of the
freight committee of the truak lines to-day in
the Office of Commissioner Fink, the charges of
rate cutting and demand for reduction of
rates on east bound freight made by the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad came up for discussion.
The other lines represented in the committee
denied that they hal cut rates, and it is probable
that some western roads are the delinquents
No action was taken in the matter other than to
authorize Commissioner Fink to investigate the
cha ges and take such action as he may deem
necessary to preserve rates.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The demand for money TO-
day was moderately active and all classes of
borrowers were in attendance. To all such hav-
ing the regular security the banks dealt out the
needful at 6@7 per cent, the market being easy
at these rates. The first of the month the bank
clearings foot up 81, 5000 against $6,142,OO

1ne FecSlpI Oh cattle at ChS stOCk yGrQ5
continued to show falling off as compar-
ed with last week. Estimating to-day's
arrivals there are about 5000 less for the
week 30 far, the number today being
fully 5000 less than last Friday. Trade
opened quiet, with only limited demand,
but all grades of cattle were equally
as well as any day this
week, and perhaps a shade stronger
on some good lots. On good butchers
stock the demand was barely as keen as
on the previous days of the week, yet
prices cannot be quoted lower. Common
butchers stock and Gamers did sell a
shade lower and were slow. There has
been brisk demand for feeders and
stockers and prices for the same continue
to be high. The general market may be
quoted steady. Cattle receipts for the
month of January show falling off of
422 head as compared with the correspond
ing month in 1888.
Receipts of hogs for the day showa de-
crease as compared with last Friday, yet
for the week slight increase. Trade
opened quiet, but later on when packers
orders had been received there was brisk
demand and about all sorts went out at
nearly yesterdays prices. There may have
been some sales made at the opening.at low
erfgures, and certainly there were some
sales later higher than yesterday, but taken
altogether there is little or no change to
note. For heavy hogs competition was
active between packers, shippers and
speculators, the best selling up
to $6.65@6.75. Parties who bet there
would be 100000 hogs Or over for January
had to walk up to the captains office aud
settle, the number reaching only 550,937.
This is falling off of 189,637 as compared
with the corresponding month in 1888.
The shipments of hogs last month reached
the extraordinary number Of 172, ,408.
The receipts of sheep were somewhat
less than for few days past, yet the mar
ket continues unsettled and values rather
weak, especially in common. Fair to me-
dunn fine wooled are selling best. We
quote common, So. .5O@3 70; fair, $4@4.5 so;
the best, $4.75@5. Some lots that are
nearly all fine wooled wethers or fat lambs
sell for S.. 25@5.50. The number of
sheep arriving at the union stock yards for
January, 1884, is the largest on record,
reaching 103,119.

The Mautle of Ti1den Falling on Ex-Sena-
tor Eaton or r. p. Fiower-The Chances
in Favor of Flower.
Especial Telegram to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 .-Tiden is out of
the presidential race. This declaration,
which has been made and denied with
such frequent regularity as to confuse
even his best friends, is now known to be
an established fact. Last week a confer
ence OF Tilden men was held in
New York to settle upon two men,
one of whom should receive their
support for the presidency. Nothing
further was done than TO decide on ex-
Senator Eaton, of Conn, and ex-Conpress-
man R. P. Flower, Of n. Y, either of whom
were regarded as exceptionally strong,
and the latter especially IS the o9ly man
who can carry New York against ArthQr.
The scene next shifted TO this place and
during the present week several of Mr.
Tilden's agents have been busily engaged
in sounding leading Democrats of the Til
den school IS to their preferences. No
other names are mentioned than those
above given. Either is acceptable
to Tilden. When it is decided who
will make the stronger candidate, the
"barr will be opened and all the machin-
cry set in motion TO insure his nomina-
ton. Flower is immensely popular at
home. He is self made man, large
hearted, wealthy end charitable. He is
engaged in the banking business. He de-
feated W. W. Astor for congress three
years ago by majority of 900 in dis
trict which is generally Republican. This
fact is cited by his friends to demonstrate
his cleverness as an organizer.
The st. Louis and Missouri crowd, who
did SO much to bring about Tllden's nomi-
nation in 1876, are for him to a man. In
this connection GLOBE correspondent
was to-day shown letter from one of Mr..
Tilden'5 most intimate western friends in
which the merits and prospects of the diff
| ferent candidates were sketched with that
charming frankness which even the
most cautious politicians sometimes use
under the seal of privacy. The writer is
an ardent admirer of Flower, whom he
eharacterizes ''a full blown sunfower and
not pansey blossom" He declares that
he alone can harmonize the warning
factions of New York city and that he is
the only Democrat whom Arthur cannot
defeat. He pays high tribute to Arthur's
shrewdness, and asserts that negotiations
are now pending between the administra-
tion and John Kelly to turn the state over
to the Republicans this fall, as was done
four years ago. This combination will
be destroyed by the nomination of
Flower. Payne he regards as good
man, but says all the old "mossbacks" like
Thurman, Ward and Pendleton are against
him, and besides he is tainted with the
odor of standard oil. Bayard he regards
as ''too Insignificant for any discussion. I"
The Tilden people are friendly toward
Eaton, but it is not thought that he can
carry New York. The indications at pres
ent poiat to Flower as the man upon whom

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The Iroquois club has
arranged to hold its banquet at the Palmer
House, April Is. The committee upon Sc.
curing speakers and arranging the details
have just been appointed. Secretary
Frank G. Hoyne, being interviewed in
reference to the national convention, said:
'There IS only one thing that will prevent
Chicago getting the convention, that is the
event of Samuel j. Tilden being a candi-
date. If he is the convention will natur-
ally go to the place that gave him the
nomination before-that IS ST. Louis"
s'Well Mr.. Tilden is not the Iroquois
club candidate, is he?"
'sThat is not the question. If he says
he will accept the nomination if it is offer
ed him, he has enough members on the
committee pledged to him to control the
location of the convention. and if that
should prove to be the case it will natural
ly follow that the convention will be held
in the place that gave him the nomination

prevent Chicago getting the nomination. ~

A Man Named William Smith Arrested
for the Crime.

LEwIsToE, Dec. l8.
Sheriff Smith went to Lisbon, Thursday,
by the 1870 train. The sheriff says that he
me ans business and believes that the guilty
man will be found. Wednesday evening he
received word from Deputy Sheriff Mains
who on Wednesday vas busy looking up the
jealousy" clue to the case. The deputy
sheriff passed the day at Purinton's Corner
The young lady in the case lives at Purin-
tons Corner. The officers were of the opin-
ion Thursday morning that this is a false
scent. The officer called on the young lady
She was surprised at the visit She is very
friendly with Small and the other young man,
both of whom have paid her some attention
long and minute search among neighbors,
friends and acquaintances failed to reveal
any instance where the latter had ever threat
ened Small or any one else. He was young
man of good character. There never was
any open falling out between the two. 1t is
said that the young lady's parents have had a
hand in the lovemaking and have encouraged
Small's visits to the encouragement of No. 2.
1t appears to be a matter of neighborhood
gossip, and in no way so far as present inves-
tigated, at all connected with the shooting
affair.
Sheriff Smith swore to a warrant for assault
with intent to kill against Lisbon man be-
fore Clerk Laughton of the Lewiston muniei
cipal court, Thursday at 10 O'Clock and

In the shed he found a single -barrelled shot

all knowledge of the shooting The gun is
an old affair, but shows signs of ha, ing been

Nrw Ynpr Don 1s

New YORK, Dec. Is.
Shortly after 3 o'clock P. NJ. fire broke
out in the drying room of the Catholic Male
Orphan Asylum at the corner of ST. Marks
& Albany avenues, Brooklyn. The entire
block was 220xl50, three stories, with man
sard roof and constructed of blue stone. The
building wherein the fire originated, con-
tanned the boilers and heating apparatus,
with the domitory on the third floor in which
there were go orphans suffering from various
complaints. Whether or not they all es-
capped cannot be told until the roll call is had
Probably some were lost. Sister Mary Jo-
sephine who was in the domitory at the time
the fire broke out, made heroic efforts to
save the little ones. She remained in the
room until driven out BY the flames: then
she ran to the window where she stood on
the cornice until the foreman, McGroarty, of
engine IA, from the roof of the building
swung his coat to her. The sister caught the
coat, but when the foreman went to pull her
from her periIous position, she lost her grasp
and fell headlong to the ground. She was
convened to st. Catharines hospital in an un.
conscious condition. Joseph Ryan fell from
ladder and received severe injuries. Jno
McGrath, years old, jumped from the third
story and was badly injured. Mother De-
chAntel and Sister Anthony were in the office
when the fire was discovered. They at once
gave the alarm and proceeded to get the
youngsters out of the building.
There were 1855 orphans in the building.
They were told to leave the Asylum and seek
shelter in any neighboring house until called
for, There was great excitement among the
inmates, but it is believed that all escaped
except possibly some who were in the domi-
tory.
Hundreds of little fellows ran out into the
falling snow, hatess and COATES. The
flames spread with great rapidity and the
buildings were almost completely destroyed.
There were about 80 sisters in the Asylum
and number of them went out with the
boys, but it was impossible to keep the little
fellows together.
Patrick Cahil says that he is confident he
saw a woman fall from a window into the
smoke; he also believes that all the boys did
not get out One of the boys of the Asylum
said the fire was caused by another boy who
went into tee dining room with lighted can
die, and accidently touched some clothes that
were drying. Two firemen we're thrown
from ladder and were badly injured.
Loss S200,000; fully insured. 1t was an
nounced at a late hour that Sister Mary Jo-
sephine had died from her injuries.
