NEW York;
Especial Telegram to the Globe


New YORK, March 1.-THE stock market
was weak and feverish for time this morn
ing. New York Central declined to the price
it reached just before the squeeze. The
grangers and coalers were below last evenings
figures, and about the only strong spot visible
was in West Shore bonds. The market was
very inactive, and the volume of business
light throughout the day. An improvement
of about per cent, over the early prices was
made during the afternoon, caused
principally by the shorts covering.
The leaders on the bull side appeared
to be doing nothing to assist the
situation, which is becoming more monoton-
Gus from day to day. There was nothing
whatever doing in Wabash, Denver, Northern
Pacific or Omaha. 1t was next to impos-
sible to get a quotation on several stocks.
The earnings of the Illinois Central for the
first week in March show falling off of
$54 900. st. Paul worked up to 923s at the
last, Pacific Mail touched SO and the advance
in the rest of the list to about the best figures
of the day gave quite a strong tone to the
whole market at the finish.

A Brace of Ghosts.

Two women started out about ten o'clock
last evening for a little Clark" Each
covered herself with sheet, and went to the
place where the husband of one of them
worked with view of calling him out and
giving him little surprise party. All the
way through the streets they frightened people
and policemen, and everybody thought that
a couple of the ''sheeted dead'' had come
out from Oakland cemetery to see how things
were going ON down town. The police
finally plucked up courage enough to arrest
them, and took them to the city hall where
the husband appeared also, and as the matter
was fully explained, the ladies were dis
charged.

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.
Mary Olson's Motherhood Without
WedlOck---More Sinned Against
Then Shining.

A case of what at first seemed to be in
fanticide was developed in this city yester-
day, the circumstances being almost paral-
lei to the case of Ellen Kelly, which created
quite sensation about month ago.
About four months ago there came to work
at the Davis restaurant, corner of Eighth and
Wacouta streets, young girl named Mary
Oleson. She is of Swedish extraction, about
nineteen years of age, with black hairs fresh
complexion and large lustrous black eyes.
She is said to have come from Winnipeg,
and she secured employment as a waitress.
Nothing unusual was noticed shout the
girl until last Wednesday morning, when it
was observed that she had been taken i'll, al
though she still managed to perform her du-
ties.
On the afternoon of that day the other fe-
male help in the restaurant noticed that
something was wrong with the girl, and an
investigation proved that she had been de-
livered of baby the night before, the re-
mains of male infant being found in the
vault in the rear of the house.
The case was reported to DR.. Ancker and
the girl was removed to the city hospital,
after which Coroner Quinn was notified. The
latter proceeded to make official inquiry into
the matter, and Yesterday he decided to hold
an inquest, which was held in the undertake
ing establishment adjoining the restaurant.
The following citizens composed the jury:
J. F. Pannell, Robert Seeger, Geo. w.
Lamb, A. j. Wampler, J. H. WalterstorT and
Geo. Wilson.
The testimony of large number of wit
nesses was taken and it proved very volum-
inous.
In substance it was shown that the girl
had been taken sick on Tuesday evening at
O'Clock and in order to avoid suspicion she
left the room where the help slept and re-
paired to a rear apartment. Lying down on
the floor she suffered all night, the child be-
ing delivered at 4 O'Clock Wednesday morn
ing. According to the best evidence the
child was still-born, and the girl wrapped it in
some clothing and concealed it in ward
robe, until daylight, when she threw it in
the vault. The next day she went about
her work and took walk down town, being
finally overcome by prostration.
Last Monday she notified Mr.. Davis that
she was going to leave and yesterday she tes-
titled that she was about to 60 to an aunts in
Iowa, snpposing that the child would not be
born for month.
Concerning the father of the child, she
testified that he resided in Winnipeg, and
that she had only known him by the name OF
viii.
The jury found that the child had been
stillborn, land the girl will not be prosecuted.

A MOB OF OPERA GOERS.
Almost Riot Among Ticket Purchas-
ers to the Patti Opera in San
Francisco,

SAN Francisco, March 1.-THE sale of
tickets to-day for PATHS second appearance
on Tuesday next resulted in rush and riot
greater than that of Wednesday. The
crowd, over !, 800 strong, burst in the doors
of The Grand Opera house, smashed
all the plants and pictures in
their way. The fury of the crowd
was so great that young boy who happened
to be in the way was picked up by man and
hurled through a side door of the vestibule.
The boy was badly hurt. Mems coats and
women's dresses were torn from their backs.
Several women were seriously in iured and
many tainted. The crowd threatened to tear
the box Office down and gut the whole build
ing, unless the box office was opened. At
this moment spectators suddenly
appeared, offering So tickets for
SIS. The crowd gave them
quickly to understand they had better not
repeat the offer, unless they wanted to be torn
in pieces. They then smashed in the window
of the box Office, but the agent escaped and
sent for detachment of police. After hard
struggle and many arrests, order was re-
established. An announcement was subse-
quently made that no tickets would be sold at
the box office, and purchasers would have to
step into the Office one at time. This was
too much for the exasperated crowd. The
majority walked off swearing and disguised.
Mapleson was arrested and booked at the city
prison this afternoon for violating the fire
ordinance He was released on bonds.

The cattle plague is causing much alarm in

nothing as bad as others to which cattle are
