The Passing of Dividend In St. PauI Causes a Heavy Hear Raid and the whole List Suffers a Decline, Fol- lowed Soon After by a sharp Rally Which Carries Prices at she Close to
 Near Opening Figures.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.
 The action of the St. Paul directors in passing the dividend the common stock and especially in re- ducing the rate of dividend on the preferred was the occasion of an excitement in the stock market this morning the like of which has not been seen since December 16, 1886. While such action not entirely unexpected the market was not prepared to take the load of stock dumped upon 1t by the frightened foreigners and material concessions in prices the rule throughout the entire list at the opening of business this morning. The board room traders all bearishly inclined and active
 ly aided the bears in their efforts to bring about further decline and they were helped by other causes chief among which was the advance in its rate of discount by the Bank of England. There was, however, an unusually heavy covering of shorts, while supporting orders were numerous and the impression made upon the general list after the opening entirely insignificant. In St. Paul g large number of stop orders were reached and its decline at the opening nearly doubled by their execution. There was good buying in the Wander blts, Villards and some others and this did much to alIay the excitement The Scare was about over after the first fifteen minutes. during which over ninety thousand shares changed hands. Over 125,- 900 were sold in the half hour and in the hour 175 900. Outside of the grangers the range in prices was small and on @ fair proportion of the general list was confined to less than per cent. The de clines at the opening St. Paul B. Hooking Val ley 9 Northwestern 15S and in others from K to 116 per cent. Most of the list rallied immediately and fractional gains were scored all over the lst even St. Paul. The market weakened again toward Il o'clock however, and before the lowest prices of the day were reached, the losses from the best
 figures ranging up to 21< per cent. in St. Paul. Af ter noon the market again moved up with the coal stocks and Vanderbits especially strong, and while the business done showed . steady increase there was but little movement or feature to the subse- quent trading. Buyers at the low prices of the morning realized in the last hour and market finally closed heavy and quiet at close to the opening fig ures. The feeling the street this evening, how ever, is very unsettled.

 Tn the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In the death of Rev. Samuel John Mills Merwin his family, consisting of his wife Gan active member of the United church), hisson (a graduate of the class of 1888, principal of Granby academy) and daughter, Miss M. s. Merwin Identified in the church, the Sabbath school work, the mission circle and Y.P.S.C.E. work of the United church), meet with great and irreparable loss.
 His own church and people in Georgetown, Conn.,, where he has been many years pastor, the Congregational association in New York city of which he has long been secretary, the New Haven Congregational club of which he also YVES secretary, the United church whose meetings he has so often conducted and in pastoral work assisted, the neighborhood of his residence, 387 Temple street, this city, where he lived, the Historical society of which he was a life member; the Sons of Temper ance, whose cause he made his own; the Connecticut Congregational association, or which he was lifelong member; and other benevolent societies of which he has been 8 most efficient member in purse and work, suffer loss we cannot estimate or rightly appreciate. IA burning and shining light" in our dark world is transferred to the brighter world above, beyond the reach of sorrow, pain and care He goes from us in the fuiness and ripeness of his manhood, having attained to the best and highest ser vice on earth, ready and prepared for his high place and reward in heaven. In great mercy he passes on to the higher life with no long waiting or suffering. From the highest attainment as Christie own servant here, he goes to his eternal mansion to be ssfore7er with the Lord..a Peace and honor to his memory. When our time to leave our home here shall come may we each and all of us strive to be as we'll prepared as Cur de- ceased friend and brother. His teacher in elocution, the aged John E. Lowell, held him as one of his oldest, dearest friends. Truly may it be said that Hnone knew him but to love him; none spoke but in his hon- or" He graduated with high honor in the class of 1859 in Yale, whose semi-centennial meeting will come next year.

BASE BALL.

What the Players Find to Talk About. Dick Johnston has made 139 hits for 225 bases in 100 games, an average of .293. John ston's actual average in 1887 was .263. In twelve games with Boston Joe Quinn has made nineteen safe hits. He has not failed to make at least one hit in every game A Pittsburg paper proposes series of three games each between the Pittsburg, Philadelphia and Athletic clubs for $500 a corner and the championship of Pennsyl- vania.
 During the present season five men have been killed outright, half a dozen have been seriously injured, while others have been dis abled for weeks by the swift style of pitch ing in vogue.
 On September Whitney of the New Yorks stood third among the third basemen of the league, with Nash first and Denny second.
 Chicago appears to be New York's Jonah. Anson and his men have won ten out of four teen games with the Giants. It is good thing that the penant does not absolutely de- pend on the Chicago series.
 Gleason of the Phillies is trying the exper- iment of using glove while twirling. In an exhibition game which the Phillies played at Jersey City on Thursday he retired the Jer- sey Citys with four hits in this manner.
 Johnny Shaw of the Eastons was Fit in the ribs by pitched ball delivered by Fitzgerald of the Wilkesbarres and injured so severely that he has been obliged to discontinue play- ing the remainder of the season. Shaw is a Boston boy.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 13-Speaking of Ewing's refusal to play out the remaining four in- ming of yesterdays ball game President Spaulding of the Chicago club says: q in tend to bring the matter before the league directors at once. will do my best to see that this fellow is disciplined. He ought to be expelled. He robbed eight thousand peo- pie ot their afternoons enjoyment and don't think that the league can afford to see its friends insulted by one of it's employees. At any rate it's shame that team like the New Yorks should be turned over to man of EWing,s stamp.
