A Champion Liar,

There is a liar in California trying to
head off the liars who get up the circu-
lation statements for the daily papers.
The California liar says:
"Bill Vanders, who fell through the
roof Of o sawmill when the boiler
exploded last week, coughed up a
circular saw and a piece Of lung to-day
DR.. Wilkins put the ling back undo
Vander's shirt and set it up by tho
steam gauge, He was SO far recoy,
cred this evening that he blew the bot.
tom out Of a lung tester, and the water
in the machine nearly drowneda Baptist
preacher.
1t is believed that the ducking the
preacher received win prevent him
from wheeling next Sunday morning
Vanders, who was the engineer at tho
time Of the boiler explosion, was not
only docked for the fifteen minutes
he was In the air, but the owner Of
the mill made him repair the hole IN
the roof at his own expense, besides
bringing suit for the recovery Of the
saw"

The confidence existing in higher prices for
stocks last evening was shaken this morning
by an industriOuSy circulated story that the
PENNSYLVANIA road had Withdrawn from the
trunk line pool. Another rumor stated that
Commissioner Fink had resigned his position
as commissioner of the pool. 1t was
afterwards learned that he had resigned as
arbitrator only. The rumors and news, such
as it was, caused pressure to sell, the
sentiment on the board having undergone
sudden change and the room traders sold
everything, thus helping the downward
movement. With the exception of Sigh rally
toward IL O'Clock the declines were almost
continuous until afternoon, when better
understanding of the true situation caused a
reversal of the general sentiment, and move
ment was made to bring back part of the
stocks thrown over in the early excitement,
and the general tendency of prices for the
remainder of the day was upward. The
trunk line stocks naturally were the largest

noon, and the market became generally firm,
slight fractions being regained. 1t closed
firm, close the lowest of the day. Almost
everything is lower, Lackawanna leading
with lA per cent. Manitoba lost IA,
other declines are for fractional
amounts, New England is exceptional
showing net gain of %. The trunk line and
express difficulties caused heavy unloading
of Erie seconds to-day, the sales OF those
bonds aggregating 1,094 900, out of a total
business of $2.254,0U0. Taey opened at 1915,
and sold down steadily to SO and steadied at
that price, but later fell to 9SH, finally re-
covering to, and closing at 991s. There was
no other feature, and prices sympathized
with the trading in stocks, being weak in the
forenoon and steady for the remainder of the
day. Final prices generally show declines.
