The market OF legitimate American pro-
duet outside OF tho disiilleries Of liquors,
and the manufacture of tobacco into smok-

MARSHALL, I'LL, June 2G---A remarkable
accident happened to the west-bOund

a long, steep grade. As tho train was lying

Judge Mitchell Thursday ruled that the
Philadelphia Local Telegraph Company
had the right to discontinue furnishing
stock quotations to bucket shops. The
Philadelphia Exchange will join the New
York stock brokers in putting an end to
the bucket gambling. The removal of
the ticl5ers will not prevent the bucket
shops from getting their quotations
over Morse wires. In that case, however,
their patrons will have no protection.
They can not see the quotations rs they
originally come, and the proprietors
could easily put up false prices so as to
rob the bettors.

Philadel 5hia Press Of Thursday. ..
The Delaware Prohibitionists showed
rare discretion in the State convention
they held in Dover Tuesday. There was no
ranting, no general denunciation of every
mnn and every party that does not agree
with them on the question Of Prohibition,
but an earnest, conciliating spirit was
shown which will commend the move
mont to all. The platform is not con-
fined TO the temperance issne only, but
deals with the political abuses which have
grown up in Delaware and become so
iiagtant. There seems to have been moth
ing said or done which the Republicans
can not endorse, and MS the party has
decided not TO put any ticket in the field
the candidates nominated at Dover will
probably get the great majority of the
Republican vote. Aud the Democrats,
who are industriously coddling Prohihi-
ton movements in Republican states, will
also have an opportunity in Delaware 10
prove their sincerity in the cause and at
the same. time help along one of the most
reasonable temperance movements now in
the field.
