Stocks ana Cattle Markets.

New YORK, Aug. l6.-The. stock mar
ket to-day was entirely at the mercy of
the bear operators, who have apparently
organized for a vigorous campaign and as
NO support was given they had little
trouble in depressing prices. All stocks
on the active list sustained their losses
during the day, but they were limited to
fractions generally and the volume of
trading was so light that the decline was
not considered as significant of the desired
change from the upward movement that
has been going on since July 4.
Governments dull and strong. Money

Congratulated steady. Lake, SIG. 20.
The petroleum market opened strong

A Long Wedding Tour.


The very original wedding tour OF Mr..
and Mrs. Sigourney has terminated on
time. When they we're married in Buffs'
10, in 1882, their wedding cards read:
"Mr. and Mrs. sigourney at home THUS
day. in Sacramento, Cal, beginning May
10, 1888" They arrived promptly on the
day specified, after a prolonged wedding
tour of ak years, during which time they
had explored very nearly the whole known
world at a cost Of something like SIS, 600.
Children we're born to them during this
long period of absence-twin boys In st
Petersburg, a girl in China, and another
boy in Brazil. Now they are keeping open
house in California and enjoying a new
sensation in not having to get up early to
catch trains and make steamship connec-
tons over night.

"Now, the reason we think tina. tne
dead woman knew of the existence OF those
papers is simply this. 1t appears that sne
came ont from England with WhYte as ms
mistress, and after staying some time IA
Sydney came on to Melbourne. HOW sne
came into such foul and squalid den as
that she died in, we are unable to say, un-
less, seeing that she wac. given to drink,
she was taken up drunk By some Samaritan
of the slums, and carried TO Mrs. Rswlin's
humble abode. Whyte visited her there
frequently, but appears to have made no
attempt 10 remove her to better place
alleging as his reason that the doctor ssio
she would die If taken into the air. Our
reporter learned from one OF the detectives
that the dead woman IVES IN the habit Oh

ficient to tempt another to commit murder
in order to obtain them. Whyte, therefore,
being dead, and his murderer escaped, the
only way Of discovering the secret which
lies at the root Of this tree of crime, Is to
find out the history of the woman who
died in the slum. Traced back for some
wears, circumstances may be discovered
which will reveal what these papers con-
tanned, and once that is found, we can con-
fidently say that the murderer will soon
he discovered. This is the only chance OF
finding out the cause and the snthor oil
this mysterious murder; and if 1t fails, we
fear the hanson cab tragedy will have to
be relocated to the list of those undiscovered
crimes, and the assassin of Whyte VIII
have no other punishment then that the
remorse of his own conscience.

A Rash Prediction Flu filled.


When the roads forming the line be-
tween Philadelphia and Harrisburg,
Penn, were chartered in 1885, and town
meetings were held to discuss their practi-
cability, the Hon. Simon Cameron, while
making speech in advocacy Of the meas
urc was so far carried away by his enthusi-
asrn 50 to make the rash prediction that
there were persons within the sound Of his
voice who would live to zee passenger
take his breakfast in Harrisburg and bis
supper in philadelphia on the same day.
A friend OF his on the platform said to
him after he had finished, ''Thats ell
very we'll, Simon, to tell the boys, but you
and are no such internal fools as TO be-
lisve it." They both lived TO travel the
distance in little over two hours.

whose nerves were overstrupg, shrieked,
and the cry rang weirdly through the
crowded hall She was taken out, aud
sgain there was q silence, every eye being
now fixed ON the door through which the
Jury would reissue with their verdict of
life or death. The hands of the clock
moved slowly round-a quarter-a half
three quarters then the hour
souaded with q siivsry ring which
startled everyone. MsGge, sitting with her
hands tightly clasped together, began to
fear that her highly strung nerves would
give way. MY God, :" she muttered SOFT
" to herself; will this suspense never
end?"
just then the door opened, and the jury
re-entered. The prisoner was again placed
in the dock, and the judge again resumed
his seat, this time with the black cap in
his pocket, a. everyone guessed.
The usual formalities were gone through,
and when the foreman of the jury stood
up every neck was craned forward, and
every ear was on the alert TO catch the
words that fell from his lips. The prisoner
flushed q little, aud then grew pale rs
death, giving quick nervous glance ut the
quiet figure in black, of which he had just
caught q glimpse, Then came the verdict,
sharp snd decisive, "Nor GUILTY"
On hearing this 9 cheer went mp from
every one in the court, so strong was the
sympathy with Brian.
In vain the crier Of the court yelled,
''Orderw until he was red IN
the face. In vain the judge
threatened to commit all present
for contempt Of eourt-his voice being
inaudible, it did not matter much-the
enthusiasm could not be restrained, and 1t
was five minutes before order was obtain
ed. The judge, heyiDg recovered his COM
posture, delivered his Judgment, and dis
charged the prisoner, in accordance with
the verdict. Gallon had won many cases,
but it is questionable if he had ever heard
q verdict which gave him so much salts
faction as that which proclaimed Fitz'
gerald innocent.
And Brian, stepping down from the
dock 3 free man. passed through a crowd
of eongratulnting friends to small room
off the court, where q woman was waiting
for him-a woman who chung round his
neck, and sobbed out
my darling! My darling! / knew
that God would save you"
