New York, Oct. 97.-The stock market
to-day was again dull and spiritless aud
the final changes possess little slgnin-
cance. Most OF the small movements OF
the day are generally attributed to the
efforts OF the bears TO cover their shortcon-
tracts, especially in st. Paul, Jersey Cen.
trail, and Lake Shore. The market, not
withstandlng Its strong closing last even
ing, opened irregular and soon showed
signs Of weakening, but upon extensive
covering again became firm; this was also
aided by buying, IL is supposed, for London
account. Trading was restricted, however,
and fluctuations very light, except In very
few cases. st. Paul came again to the front
in the afternoon and showed material ad-
vance upon heavy buying for the account

also notably strong, earlier In the day reach

ing was active, but Its movements were OF
no importance.
A drive was made at Northern Pacific

broken over per cent, but II rallied upon
the covering later. The market became
very dull and then steady, so remaining un-

N LIGHT PUNISHMENT.
Mr.. Lacey Assessed to Pay 800 for the
Aesault on Mr.. Grady.


After all the minor cases had been dis.
posed Of In the police court yesterday AS
sistant District Attorney Lavender called
that Of Emanuel Lacey, who so cowardly
assaulted Mr.. Joseph NJ. Grady on the night
OF the 10Th instant at the corner Of Eleventh
street and Pennsylvania avenue while the
latter was acting the part OF q good citizen
and peace maker. Mr.. Grady's injuries
were 80 serious as TO confne him TO bed for
several days, and his absence necessitated
the postponement Of the trial. The accused
was represented by Messrs. E. @. Blunt and
Z. II. Thomas and entered a plea OF not
guilty. Mr.. Grady in giving his testimony
stated that on the evening OF the occurrence
he visited the Washington Theater, and In
leaving walked 10 Eleventh street and the
avenue, where he noticed two men scufiling
and soon one hit the other q strong blow in
the face, followed by others. He spoke to
them Of the risk they ran when he was
struck from behind powerful blow
and knew nothing more until he
regained consciousness. When he came up
near the parties he had q cane in his hand,
but made no offer to strike any person,
merely suggesting to the two men that they
were on the public street and could not
afford to get arrested. lie was hit with
some hard substance, which knocked him

| for eight days.
Dr. Hamilton +. Leach testified to the
nature OF the injuries, and was Of opinion
that some blunt instrument had been used
| to innict them.
Lacey claimed that he supposed Mr..
| Grady was interfering in tho fight to the
disadvantage Of Yates, and struck him with
his fist, denying that any "blacklack" or
weapon was used.
Considerable moro evidence was offered,
and, as there were no bystanders at the
time Of the difficulty, 1t was astonishing
where so many well-posted witnesses for
| the defence had been found.
| Judge Smell commented upon the case at
some length. He had no doubt OF the de-
fendant's guilt, and characterized the as
sqult as brutal, unprovoked, and the de
fendant deserving Of severe punishment
He did not doubt but the interference Of
Mr.. Grady was only that OF good aud
law.abiding citizen and to prevent further
disturbance. The assault was entirely
without justification, II not cowardly, ant
he should impose fine Of 500. As thii
sum had been left as collateral there was nj
trouble in collecting the fiue. The sentenc,

ueIp Needed for Cbnrleston.

The large amount Of money sent to Charles

sufficient to aid the poor and needy people

A Novel way of Compelling Girls to

1t would not seem possible that young
men could be found who would be so lack
ing In gallantry as to boycott young ladies,
but there are such young men right here In
this city Prof. John Proctor has dancing
academy at Washington Hall, East Wash
ington. Lessons are given on Tuesdays
and Thursdays, and after the lessons the
young people who are adept at dancing en-
Joy q twlrl. Among the patrons OF the
academy Is the bloom Of East Washington
youth. Several weeks since some OF the
oversepsltive young men, led by one OF
their number, rather prepossesslng young
fellow with dainty blonde mustache, com
planned that certain young ladies only
danced when they felt like It, and the young
gents, to use their own expression, decided
to "teach the girls a lesson" So the
boycott was laid. Last Tuesday evening
the hall was crowded as usual, and the
girls looked more bewitching than ever.
The band struck up waltz, but IL was
noticeable that several young ladies had no
partners. One waltz succeeded another,
and yet the seven fair girls acted as wall
flowers. The girls say they never heard Of
such a thing, but the boys are determined,
and tonight will show which will give in.
The boycott has created quite stir among
the young people OF East Washington, and
the older ones are enjoying the situation
immensely.
This, no doubt, is the first instance where
boycotting has been put to so novel o use.
