THE average prices in Wall street the
past week were a little higher than the
previous week. At the same time the
apprehension regarding money seems to
have been lessened. There promises to
be less financial disturbance incident to
the distribution OF funds than was ex-
perienced last fall. Exports are in>
creasing. There is more confidence in
railroad management than while back.
and the symptoms of disturbance in that
direction are less marked. Foreign
bourses were quiet, with prices mainly
steady. At London discount was in
strong demand. and prices of American
securities were well maintained.

Army Over the ELECTRIC

Yesterday morning the Central Street
Railway company in Moline commenced
taking out switch just at the top Of the
hill, and by noon started to lay a straight
track in its place. The switch was com>
posed Of tram rail. and in its place the
workmen. under orders of Superintend-
ent w. II. Moore. started to lay the
straight line Of T rails Mayor Vessel
got on to il, and notified Mr.. Moore to
quit laying the 7 rail, "a the ordinance
calls for tram rail Moore refused TO
stop the work. and continued to lay T
rail. Mayor Vessel instructed Marshal
Kittilsen TO go up and IL the work was
not stopped. to arrest Moore and his men.
The marshal and several officers wen,
mp at I: 80 the Dispatch says, and ordered
the work stopped. He told Moore not to
drive another spike or lay another rail
What will you do IL drive another
spike9" retorted Moore.
Arrest you" replied Kittilsen.
To test the officer. Mr.. Moore coolly
picked up spikc..and drove it in. The
officers immediately arrested him and two
Of his workmen, and they were placed in
the patrol wagon which was standing by
and taken down to the police head
quarters. The Dispatch further says:
One trouble with this ordinance. as
with n number of others is that it has no
penalty attached. Mr.. Moore says T rails
were being used because the company has
no tram-rails at hand. He AYERS that the
taking up of the switch improves the
street. no matter what sort OF rail is used
He holds furthermore that the city auth
critics had no right TO arrest him or his
men, the ordinance not being penal one
He SAYS an Injunction should have been
gotten out had they wanted the work
stopped He threatens to have Mayor
Vessel arrested for abusive language.
The affair was amicably adjusted this
morning. and Moore released.

Bride, president of the National Progressive
dressed an open letter to Governor Joseph
w. Fifer, of Illinois, in response to one
written by w. L. Scott, in which the latter
gentleman endeavored to sustain the posi-
ton he has assumed regarding the present
mining situation in Illinois. After a brief
statement of the situation previous to the
publication of the SCOTS letter, Mr. Nc
Bride says:
"Being willing to accept equitable condi-
tions and prices, and 10 effect an honorable
settlement of the present strike the follow
ing is offered:
First, To work the second or thick coal
vein at Spring Valley for the price paid at
Streator. namely, 731& cents per ton; this
too in the face of the fact that the mine is
yet in the crop coal is full of faults and up
to this time has cost the company by their
own admission, over 81 per ton for mining it
Second, Believing that Mr.. Scott will ad :
init the fact that more labor is required to
mine ton of coal in the third vein at Spring
Valley than in the thick coal in Streator,
we will agree to mine his thin coal for the
price paid the thick coal miners at Streator,
provided the company will do the brushing
and building; or. third,
1--WE will agree to an al justment of prices
and conditions such as may be determined
| by arbitration, or by an agreement to joint
| ly investigate, and be governed by the facts
| developed by such Investigation"
Mr.. Mcbride presents an exhaustive argu-
ment in answer to Mr.. Scott, and presents
facts and figures which seem hard to dispute.
| They show that while Mr.. Scott processes a
willingness TO pay as much for mining as his
| competitors in northern Illinois he ignores
other and more important fields surround
ing him, confirming himself TO comparison
OF earning ability of miners employed at
| Spring Valley and Braidwood. They fur
Their say they do not believe Mr.. Scott's ar
gument is practical, and know that if it was
applied in general way it would close Mr.
