ings for the third week in February show a
falling off of S23, 600. Northwestern for the
same time makes a small gain-S2, 600. The
transactions up to noon were over 225, 900

The market opened this morning under
steady realizing fire all along the line and in
the aggregate a very large quantity of the
various active stocks changed hands. They
were mainly shot out by the cliques to small
operators, who are likely to hold on to them
for about twenty-four hours and at the end
of that time if the outlook to hold still longer
is not encouraging, they will be likely to give
way for others to take their places A prom
inent broker said: 81 am still of the opinion
that profits should be realized on all fair

advance from the price prevailing a few weeks
since has been quite con-
siderable and sufficient TO
compensate those who were the fortunate
buyers. The prospect of frequent gold ship

ed tariff changes by congress now in session

the business community, and are adverse to

vide for large number of federal officials to
work against the Democratic party. He was

a majority of that committee
did not even have originality
or independence enough to find place in
the United States wherein to hold its conven-
ton, outside of the place where the Republi-
can convention was to be held. He had
travelled long enough in the wake Of the old
barnacles of the Democratic party following
the Republican party. He wanted a
little new blood in it, little inde-
pendence, a little originality in it.
Before he would have followed the Republi-
can party to Chicago, he would have gone
to Los Angeles. He would have gone where

in the slightest degree, to interfere
with the operations of those gigantic and al
most monarchical corporations which con-
trolled the transportation of the country,

COPIAH INVESTIGATION
Mathews Who was Shot Proven to Be an Ex
ceedingly Bad Citizen.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 25.-The Copiah
county, Miss, inquiry was continued to-day.
Uriah Millsaps, Republican, and circuit
judge during the Republican regime, con-
siders Copiah county one of the most conser-
vative in Mississippi. Matthews had been
candidate for sheriff for fifteen years and
was elected once. All the Matthews were
regarded as fighting men. Print Matthews
was uuscrupulous in politics.
Judge T. j. Wharton, of the
ninth Judicial district, said it had
been generally asserted and believed that the
grand 1uries in Copiah county have
been manipulated in the interest of one
yarty with view to prosecuting the political
opponents. Matthews related to witness the
scene with his sons before starting for Ok
ford college. He said, ''my sons, do not
know how soon you may be summoned home
to ayenge the assassination of your father"
They replied with tears, ''We are ready to
obey the summons" He said that four of
his uncles had been killed, but their deaths
had been avenged. There were four men he
wanted to kill, and then he would never
again lay his head upon pillow, but being an
outlaw, declare war against the human race.
Judge I. E. Cooper, of the supreme court,
Mississippi, detailed the circumstances con-
nected with Matthew'S defalcation as sheriff
j. Z. Matthews he regarded as dangerous
man. Heard Matthews making threats
against The life of myself and Judge Hayes in
1875. His will provided that should he be
killed, $4,000 should be spent in securing
assassins to avenge him.
E. G. Wall, commissioner of emigration,
testified, never saw j. H. Matthews
but once, in 1881, and was intro
duced to hiE. Matthews was asked
How he could now consistently support Col
King for governor, against whom he had pub
lished such violent circular. Mathews re-
piled, the circulars were all a lie, and that
King was all right now, that at that time, be,
Mathews, had 500 organized men in Copiah
county, and had gotten out the circular for
the purpose Of aggravating King, then the
leading Democrat, and his party to violence,
when we intended to kill every white man,
woman and child in Copiah county.

Obituary.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Feb. 25-Ex-Gov.
Samuel Price, Lewisburg, W. Va, died this
morning at his home after three days i'll
ness of congestion of the brain Before the
rebellion he was an old line whig, but since
the war he has been Democrat. He several
times represented Virginia before the forma-
ton of West Virginia in the general assem-
bly, of the old commonwealth. He
was lieut.. governor of Virginia during
the rebellion, and was president of the con-
stitutional convention of 1872, which formed
the constitution of West Virginia. He was
a member of the constitutional convention
of Virginia which passed the ordinance of
secession, but refused to vote for the ordi-
nance or sign it when it passed. He was a
lawyer of much ability, and was appointed
United States senator by Gov. Matthews to
fill portion of the unexpired term of United
States Senator Allen T. Caperton, who died
shortly after his election. Coy. Price was in
his eightieth year at his death.

Third.-That in considering the -claims OF
dependent parents for pension, the fact and
cause Of death having been shown, as re-
quired by the existing law, or as provided in
sections 1 and 2 of the bill, the fact of the
present condition, physical inability and de-
pendence upon others than those legally
bound therefor, for support, and the fact that
the soldier or sailor left no widow or minor
child, shall alone be required to be shown by
competent evidence to entitle the names of
dependent parents to be placed on the pen

OF death Of the soldier, shall be required or is
necessary.
Fourth-That the provisions of the bill
shall not apply to officers and soldiers and
sailors OF the regular army or navy since

The bill was referred to the committee on
invalid pensions, and Cannon says he will
press1t to favorable onsideration. .Its effect
VIII be to render possible the granting of 80,

cannot be acted upon, and to expedite the
granting of 100 600 more, which are now be-

NEW YORK.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |

NEW YORK, Feb. 25-The bears manifest
ed good deal Of energy and confidence to-
day, the Twenty third street party opening
the ball by selling $1,000 Lackawanna from
the opening down to 1873. The room
bears hammered the list freely, devoting
much of their attention to st. Paul. Union
Pacific was also looked after-some 5000
shares being sold the first hour. The buying
was scattering but the selling was by we'll
known clique of brokers, The Twenty-third
street party continued their selling of Lacka-
wanna, but after the first two hours
the rest of the market seemed
decidedly steady, although very dull. During
the third hour further raid was made on
Union Pacific. Outside of this stock the
bears did not seem disposed to push their
advantage further, either on account of ina
bility or lack Of confidence and from that
time the market was quite dull but very
steady in tone. The bears base much of
their confidence, on gold shipments. The
situation regarding the banks condition is
this: They hold in excess of reserve S5I, 000,-
600; the largest amount the most sanguine
bears think liable to be shipped is $25, ,000,-
900 and on this basis the banks
would still hold $25, ,OOO,O 900 more
than they did last year at this time. Har-
vey Kennedy made another demand on
Rock Island to see list of stockholders, and
was refused. The matter will come up in
court tomorrow. Lake Shore makes very
favorable statement for the quarter. Van.
derbilt brokers were buyers of Reading. The
situation of the stock market is, that large
and powerful pool have gone i'm bulling
the dividend stocks with the dete4 $fnation
and ability to advance them and hold them.
They have a following of smaller manipulate
ors who have formed small pools in differ
ent specialties and number of profess
sional spectators who trade from hand
to mouth. It is at present pure and simple
manipulation. The dividend stocks were
undoubtedly depressed with Just as fragrant
manipulation, and it simply remains to be
seen whether the public will come in and
buy after they are satisfied that prices are to
be maintained. Earnings of the North
western for the third week in February in
creased So, 900; earnings of the San Francisco
$1S, 600; earnings of the Northern Pacific
$37, 600. The earnings of the st. Paul
for the third week decreased $27, 900;
Free selling of stocks characterized the early
dealings. The grangers were raided. also
the Delaware & Lackawanna One firm sold
some $4,000 shares from 132@130A. AT
ter these transactions it advanced a trife and
then fell below 130. The feature of the
first hour was Pacific Mail. 1t rose 2 per
cent. from the opening quotation. The div
idend on it, its friends say, is assured. Tex
as Pacific, on report that there would be
some favorable legislation regarding its land
grant, was quite active, selling at %. The
market showed considerable life throughout
the morning. The heavy, sell
