NEW YORK..
lspecial Telepram 70 the Globe. 1

New YORK. Dec. 16.-It has gotten to such
pass on the stock exchange now that the
traders and brokers and customers have be-
gun to talk weather as affecting prices, a
lamentable sign that the speculative news
fountains are drying up. This is a gorgeous
winter day, so, in the dearth of all other facts
it is being preached in the offices and in the
crowds as reason for an advance in prices.
The market opened ragged but generally
weak. St. Paul and West Shore were about
the only two things in the list that were
strong, or were firm, and they did not look
strong enough TO inspire anybody with
any confidence. Delaware & Lackawanna
New York Central and Weatern Union were
practically lower. Pacific Mail was of Il
per cent. Some inquiry was started by the
unexpected strength In West Shore. Every
time that these securities firm up the story
goes round that its managers have succeeded
in getting good settlement out of the Van
derbilt parties. They bought most of the
Rock Island stock sold In the last four
months, and it is said that every time 1000
shares were thrown on the market It was
found it came from WIN. II. Vanderbilt At
the same time it is said that last Saturday
5000 shares stood in his name on the books
The shorts covered considerable stock. Gowen
is here in connection with Reading, but
says he is only acting as an attorney, and
does not propose to accept any Off
cial position. Western Union is allowed by
Gould to go down fractionally, but Union
Pacific is held up. Later in the day there
was an increased bullish feeling, and rumor
said a syndicate had been formed 10 put the
market up. The London market was said
to be higher, and Won Hoffman d Co. were
said to be shipping a good many stocks
thither. The Germans were also credited
with buying Louisville q Nashville. 1t was
give out that another pool had been formed in
Northwestern, and that its earnings for the
second week in December would
show another increase. St. Paul was also
noticeably strong. The earnings of the Ili-
nois Central for eleven months show a de-
crease of $953,051. Vanderbilt brokers
predicted higher prices, while Deacon White
said that Vanderbilt himself was irving to
make lower ones. There were more rumors
about an injunction being served against the
New York Central TO prevent the payment of
its lately declared dividend, and bearish
points were freely given concerning that
stock. 1t is said that the Lehigh Coal COM
pany has succeeded in getting a contract to
furnish the Elevated roads with $50, 600 tons
of coal, but its bid was soc per ton under
the figures paid last year. Robinson sold
about $50, 200 shares of Delaware, Lacka-
wanna d Western, supposed to be for Stay
back. The final dealings were enlivened by
squirt in Changers, Vanderbilts and coal
stocks. The improvement gradually ex-
tended to the whole list, and the tone at the
last was decidedly firm, with nearly all stocks
up to about the best figures Of the day, Pa
cifc Mail touched 55.

Duran shot Mrs. Adela Sanchez here to-day.
and then shot and killed himself. Mrs.
Sanchez and husband came here from Colo
RADIO six months ago. The husband was en-
ployed on a sheep ranch. Duran worked as
a herder on neighboring ranch, and was
on intimate terms with the family and in
love with Mrs. Sanchez. He came TO town
last night, and It is thought that this morn

with him. She declined, and he shot her
through the back, the ball penetrating the

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-The money market
was dull and featureless to-day, with no
special activity in any direction. There is a
steady, even flow of regular business. such
as the banks usually transact with their Gus
toners and the general public, and that is
about all. New York exchange was quoted
at twenty-five cents discount, with a good
outside demand. Orders for currency ship
ments were good and receipts not large.
Sterling exchange was lower at S4.sI@4S5.
Government bonds were unchanged. The
trade in local bonds and stocks was rather
quiet because very few first-class securities
are on the market. The bank clcarings
were Ss,56O,0OO against IS, 4O6, 900 yester-
day.

Sherman's Evidence Against JEFF
Davis.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 16.-The Republican pub
fishes letter written by Alexander H. Ste
phens to II. V. johnson, which was obtained
in the autumn of 1864, on the premises of
johnson, at Gaudy Grove, Georgia, by DIR.
H. c. Robbins, of Ogle county, Illinois, sur
geon Of the 101st Illinois infantry. This let
ter is used as evidence by Gen. Sherman in
the charge be makes that JEFF Davis, while
president of the confederacy, was plotting to
overthrow its adopted form of government
and create instead military, despotic gov
eminent Stephens letter expresses great
doubt of the motives and intentions Of Da-
Wis and urges johnson to be on watch and
guard against suspected schemes that looked
dark for Davis loyalty to the confederate
system. A feature which Stephens points
out as indicating the dangerous character of
Davis management was the favor with
which the proposition 10 suspend the habeas
corpus was received at the Milledgeville con-
ference: The letter goes a long way to sus-
tain Sherman, though it offers no evidence,
but instead only doubt, suspicion and inter
est upon the part of the writer.

about temperance in your speech. !"

committee man met him and the first

like to have you say something about

Fitzpatrick had several more similar
adventures before he got out Of Dan
forth, and declared that in that strlctest
of all prohibition towns he got more
invitations to drink than in any other
town he visited during the campaign.
We feel quite sure that Fitzpatrick went
to his grave believing that prohibition

We promised the Morning News yes
terday that when it purged Its own
columns Of what it called gambling
schemes" we would listen TO Its advice.
We did no I say We would follow it, adj
vice as 1t intimated this morning.
Now the News has had It's say and we
are Listening as we promised we would.
We did not suggest 1t but we perceive
that our Market street neighbor has
been considering the lottery and gam
bling business in all its various forms
and in doing SO finds itself confronted
with ben VIOLENT scheme grab bags and
church fortune wheels. But while con-
demning all other lottery and gam bling
schemes, We cannot, for the life Of US,
see by what source of reasoning it can
justify or even wink at church fair
gambling and lot cry schemes.
Now it strikes us very forcibIy that
whatever Of sin and immortality 10
attached to gambling and lottery
schemes in saloons and places Of ques-
tionable repute, is doubly more sin
as often carried on in churches or else
where for the support of churches, and
As long as our neighbor justiies in
churches what it condemns in saloons
and policy shops, it must excuse US
from pinning our faith to its sincerity
in reform matters.
1t looks to us as if the employe of the
News Office who had the chicken
lottery, :" as the News called it, insert
ed in its columns, must have had the |
same idea Of the reform principles of
the News az we have had. If be had
not he would hardly have dared to in
sert such notice in the face ofexpress
orders to exclude it. Such daring is
seldom practiced by subordinates about
a newspaper Office unless they are
pretty sure of getting employment else
where. No, we are not ready.

We Are.rOrglng Along,

New Years day, that is the first day
of the new year, is already numbered
with the past. Calls have been made,
presents given and the day spent in a
variety OF ways, but it, like other New
Years days that preceded it, has passed
beyond recall. "Time and tide wait
for no man." Already good resolu
lions have been broken. Already err
rors have been made that cannot be
rectitied. Already misery and poverty
have asserted their sway. Already
death, the insatiate archer, is busy
Staying upon the right and upon the
left. Already hearts that were glad as
the bells rnng in the New Year are sor.
rowful and sad. Here we are, forging
along in the same beaten track that
other years have taken and we are
meeting with the same adversities and
triumphs. One day of the three hun
dred and sixty.six that this year is
blessed with has gone past recall.
Time is ever on the wing. Readers of
tie REPUBLICAN, how are you spend
ing it, and how will the future be
spent? Shall the present year be
better one than the last in all that
makes us good and happy or shall it be
more miserable than the last? These
are questions of momentous impor.
lance which individuals alone can an
swer, and which can be answered only
with mental reservation that 80 far AS
individual effort is concerned the year
will be to US in general sense such as
we see proper to make it. At any rate
we are forging along into the New Year
"a year that is daily growing older
and shorter. Let us be UP and doing.
