Reported by G. s. Palmer, 1865 Reade St, N. Y.
NEW YoRK. Jan. 22-The receipt Of new vege-
tables from the south continue light and the
outlook favorable for all choice stock arriving
in good condition. The market is specially
favorable for anything in the way Of snap beans,
and choice will readily command 81 O0@4 so per
crate; cucumbers SO 00@4 90. Egg plant rul-
ing at from s. 90 to $40 10 per barrel. The re-
ceipts of Florida oranges yesterday (Monday)
aggregated something over 600 boxes, but to-
day no arrivals except few via all rail route.
The market shows n little more act witty, yet
top for the best fruit in lines and 81 750@ 25 for
other grades Of brights. Russets are bringing
from 81 IS 10 81 90 per box for good fruit in
ferior 81 so. There are occasional calls for
Mandarns, but Tangerines are not moving and

A REMARKABLE ROCK.
A Stone Weighing Twenty Five Tons
Which Can Be Moved by the and.

n SGOD0 w Ol&QlnR 4OUS
Which Can Be Moved by the and.
From the NetU London Telegraph.
Prof. Henry Beals, Fellow Of the ROYAL
Society OF London, at present in New Ha-
ven, is about completing the work allotted
to him two years ago, that of making a
study of the erratic powders, which are 50
common in New England and on the north
ide of Long Island. He has been making
a special search for rocking stones" His
jOurneyngs, which are now nearly ended,
have been very successful. His search for
rocking stones" has been made in connec-
ion with biologists on the continent, who
are seeking to establish beyond controversy
the theory that these great rocks and curl
ously balanced stones, which in many in
stances are as large as a small house, were
carried on floating iCebergs during the mys-
FERROUS era known as the glacial period. OF
the rocking stones he has discovered but
one new example in addition to that already
known. This is at Noank, on the farm OF
Caleb Haley New York fish dealer.
The stone is estimated to weigh twenty
five tons. It has rocking scope of six
inches, and can be readily moved by the
hand Only one other stone is known of il
Now England-that at Lanesborough, Mass.
A photograph has been taken of Mohegau
rock(also known as Shegan) in the town of
M0ntvlle This rock was used as fortress
and watchtower by tho Mohegan indians.
1t is now known TO be the largest specimen
of erratic bowlder in this country thus far
discovered. 1t is As feet high and 70 feet
long, and is calculated by scientists to weigh
10000 TONS an enormous load for foe of
ice to carry. 1t is evidenced by the large
fakes of the stone which the insinuating
frost and storms of centuries have Clipped
from it, One Of these fragments is go feet
long and 12 feet thick, and its estimated
weight is 200 tons.

The stock market was still less active today,
and dealings were even more than usual OF late
devoid Of special feature. The reduction in the
Bank Of England rate OF discount, with con
tinued of money, both here and abroad,
gave foreigners renewed confidence this morn
ing, and they took some lots OF stocks here and
gave for the time being better tone TO the
local market than was seen yesterday. Tue
bears made demonstration against the list
with but poor success, and by covering the
movement later In tine day losses we're about
recovered before the close. A few stocks
showed marked strength, among which Wheel
ing aud Lake Erie was the most prominent,
buying being attributed to insiders. Pullman
opened up ~ per cent. on rumor that an
agreement had been signed by which that com
pany gains control OF the Union Company, but
report was stated to be premature and tue stock
reacted. IL was not until after tue close OF bust
ness that an official statement TO that effect was
mt ont Rocl; Island and st. Paul preferred
we're the only stocks IN which there was any
marked impression made by the bears, although
both recovered handsomely toward the close
In the last hour there was renewed strength all

tions in addition. The close was dull but firm.

Editor Herald: I was pleased to
read Father Witham's communication
in last weeks HERALD as had often
wondered why the Phillips county
delegates were so silent on the judi
cial question. MY own observations
in regard to the Atwood convention
have been given from time to time,
and all that I wish to do at this time
is to endorse Father WItham's views,
and tosadd that L. K. Pratt's actions
IN the Atwood convention in allowing
his friends to act as they did, ought
to condemn him in the eyes of every
Republican voter IN the district. He
and his friends saw that there could
be no honest nomination secured for
him, and in accordance with a precOn-
cieved plan, and by the free use Of
intoxicants, tried to force the cOnven-
ton to accept him. The account of the
convention in the HERALD supplement
is fair and honest though it does not
tell it as bad as it was. I am unqual-
ifedly for Decker and hope to see
him elected. F. @. JOHNSON.

CovingtOn's Personal Fight
AGAINST Bracken.

The wicked falseness of COvingtOn's
election rOOr-baCks against Theodore
Bracken, in which he attempts to
make the Elder in some way respOn-
sible for Nipp's defalcatiOn, is plainly
seen when the fact is known that the
only time that Bracken had anything
to do with the treasurer's Office for
fifteen months before Nipp's shortage
was discovered, was on the 23d and
24th, of February, 1888. when he, with
@. M. Cole and F. B. Winship, as an
auditing committee examined Nlpp's
accounts. It was then found that he
should have on hand $4,000 Nipps
exhibited to the committee that
amount Of money as county money.
No other count Of cash in the treasu-
~ was made till Nov. 9th, 1888, when
evidence of the shortage was first dis
covered. Mr.. Bracken never had any
thing more to do with Mr.. Nipp's books
than COvingtOn or any other citizen
except one day which was the day of
the funeral of Mr.. Nipp's son when
he remained in the treasurers Office at
the request of Mr.. Nipps Let it be
noticed that the Democrat in making
these UNANIMOUSLY false hints against
Theodore Bracken also by inference
makes the charge against the two
democrats on the auditing committee
@. NJ Cole and T. E. Winship for if
Bracken is guilty the two democrats
are also. The fact is the hints are
vile, malicious falsehOOds and COvlng-
ton knows them to be such. It is per
sonaI spite against one of the best
men in Phillips County.

An industrious laboring man
whose name We will not publish be-
cause it would do no good and might
discourage him, attempted suicide
last Monday while temporarily de-
ranged from the effect or liquor and
arsenic. Two different times he at
tempted to throw himself before a
moving locomotive but was dragged
from the rail in time to save his life.
He has a wife and children. We learn
he was discouraged over financial en-
barrassment. Suicide Is a poor rene
dy for trouble
