IN VENICE.

Where the GondOIa Rears its Young
 and Art is More Popular than Soap.
 Bill Nye in the New York Mercury.1
 We arrived in Venice last evening, latitude 45 degrees 9 minutes N., longitude 12 de- grees F minutes E.
 Venice is the home of the Venetian, and also where the gondola has its nests and rears it's young. This is the town where the Merchant of Venice used to do business and the home of Shylock, broker, who sheared the Venetian lamb at the corner of the Rial to and the Grand canal. He is now no more. Shylock, during the great panic in Venice many years ago, it is said, had chattel mortgage on more lives than you could shake @ stick at. He would loan a small amount to merchant at 3 per cent. month, and secure it on a pound of the merchants liver or by 8 cut-throat mortgage on his respirato- " apparatus. Then, when the paper ma tured, he would go up to the house with pair of scales and pie-knife and demand a foreclosure.
 Venice is one of the best watered towns in Europe You can hardly walk block with out getting your feet wet unless you ride in a gondola.
 The gondola is long, slim hack without wheels and is worked around through the damp StfeeIS Dy DrunetGo lnau Wuose Dredtu should be sad warning to us all. He is called the gondolier. Sometimes he sings in a low tone of. voice and in a foreign tongue. I do not know where I have met so many foreigners as have here in Europe, unless it was in New York at the polls. Wherever 20 hear foreign tongue. 1 do not know whether these people talk in the Italian Ian guage just to show off or not. Perhaps they prefer it. London is the only place I have visited where the Boston dialect is used London was originally settled by adventur- CTS from Boston. The blood of some of the royal families of Massachusetts may be found in the veins of London people.

Fire Tn Bridgcport-Ltvely Times.

Bridgeport fremen were puzzled by a con- fused alarm at midnight Wednesday night, but finally located the fire, which was in a large house at the center of the Lower bridge. The place was occupied by Frank Polke-the lower story second hand fur niture store and the upper apartments as living rooms. William A. Brush a eolored man, also had apartments upstairs, and it was he who first discovered the fire, being awakened by the smoke, which at that time was stifing. He aroused Poke and family, who were obliged to flee in their night clothes. They escaped in safety, and Polke's horse, in stable at one side, was also taken out. The building is owned by C. 1I. Noble, of New York, and is insured. Poke had an insur- ance of S900-$200 on his h rse and wagon, $500 on his stock and tools and $400 on his household furniture. The building was probably damaged to the extent of $500, this being mainly confined to the second story, although the floor of the lower story was burned through in one place. MT. Polke's damage was in a great measure caused by water

 NEW YORK. Jan. 14. The tradings on the market to-day were on very small sale andthe fluctuations in the cases of few of the leading stocks notably the coal shares were slight and without significance. The tone of the market was very weak and with the exception of period of strength during the first forty min utes quotations were steadily the down grade At noon the bottom figures of the morning were current, prices showing decline of A to I9 led by the coalers. After 12 o'clock and up to p. the market was almost stagnant, the little trading done being mostly in small lots. In the last hour the market was very active. There decided pres sure to sell the coal stocks the announcement from Philadelphia to the effect that the PeDnsyl- vania company at its meeting yesterday adopted re- solutions declining to join the coal pool The sell ing weakened the whole market and prices de- clined sharply, closing at the bottom figures of the day. The decline compared with yesterday s figures ranged from 4 to per cent, the latter in Manitoba. Aside from the news of the withdrawal of the Pennsylvania company from the coal pool there was no news circulating to-day tending to affect values. The specialties continue to attract but little attention and the changes were unim- portant. The sales to-day aggregated 25s, GOO shares.
 Money closed easy at 11s per cent.
