over 10, 900 less TO-DAY, than yesterday and over
1900 less than Tuesday. The feature of tho
market was the break In the trunk lines and
some of the low priced stocks that have made
very great advances within the last few days
following tho announcement made regarding
both the recent and prospective action OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. There was
good deal of doubt this morning as to the posi-
ton of the Baltimore and Ohio when 1t became
known that IL had signed the pool contract
with promise that would leave the company
free to make subpassenger rates as 1t might
deem desirable In the future.
The announcement was made intc In the
afternoon that a contract would be closed prob
ably this afternoon by the Baltimore and Ohio,
Bound Brook route, and Il short line to be
built to the Staten Island rapid transit lines on
Staten Island. The effect of this announce
minds of operators that further trouble was
impending between the trunk lines and that

to soy the least, problematical. There was a
very decided break in the Vanderbilts and

.. }. Harkey, of Dunklin county
well-known to many of the citizens o;
this community, and highly esteemed
by them, is at present "under a cloud -
but we hope there is some mistake.
He is charged before the court with in
cest. The Maiden Clipper, however,
Is OF the opinion that the charge is but
too true. The preliminary examina-
ton was set for last Monday week, and
the Clipper of the 9th says: rs. J.
Harkey, who is charged with incest,
did not appear on the day for trial, and
there is considerable talk among his
neighbors about the matter. If we
have learned the facts, Harkey has
committed heinous crime, and de-
serves no sympathy from even his
nearest friends. A man who would
take the advantage of his niece a young,
weak-minded girl, debauch and ruin
her, has no respect for himself nor his
family. Harkey was once highly re-
spected, has noble wife, promising
children, and brothers high in moral
standing, and to bring such disgrace
upon himself and family, shows plain
ly the metal that is in him. The girl
is now held for the same offense, and
just what will next develop, we can
not say. Whatever occurs the public
shall have the facts.n

Judge Foster. the tall sycamore OF

has made more than one offender paw
dearly for crowding his hip-pocket with
"gun." The latest report is from the
Charleston Courier: "a young man
from Illinois came to this city last Mon
day to visit his cousin, Bob Grimes,
who is in Jail under an indictment of
murder. He was taken to the Jail to
see Grimes, but when he entered he
found the Jailor searching a negro, and
he asked Deputy Sheriff Walters if the
Jailor would search him. The deputy
said no, and the stranger drew forth
his pistol and asked the deputy to take
care of it for him. Walters accommo-
dated him, and took the pistol and
man too. He was taken before Judge
Foster and fined fifty dollars. The fine
was partly remitted and he was sent
to Jail for five days.
