From Wall Street To.D

NEW YORK, Feb. IS, III a. m.-Dullness was again
the ruling feature of the dealings in the stock
market this morning, many stocks being en-
tirely neglected, while in Atchison and New
England only was there any marked animation
The weakness Of last evening seemed TO have
entirely disappeared at the opening. and first
prices were either unchanged from last nights
figures or were slightly higher This advan-
tage was further proved in the early trading by
slight fractions in most of the active shares.
but Atchison became a special feature and de-
veloped marked weakness, dropping 1 per
cent. on a large business. Denver Texas. and
Fort Worth certificates all lost a like amount
with very limited trading. These movements
had the effect OF checking the improving ten
dency in the rest Of the list, and prices gener-
ally went back to those Of the opening. Rich
mond and West Point became quite sctive, ss
did also the grangers, but their movements
were confined 70 the narrowest limits, though
Burlington yielded II per cent. The firm tone
reappeared toward the end of the hour how
ever, and at IL o'clock the market was quiet
but firm, and generally at a shade better than
first prices.

THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
Bishop Keane's Work in ROme-Two
Professors Selected.

Rev. P. j. Garrigan, vice rector of the new
Catholic university, is now in this city, after
quite an extended tour through the New Eng
land states. Father Garrigan is in constant
communication with the Right Rev. Bishop
Keane, the rector Of the university, who is at
present in Rome. When he left this country
the bishop took with him the statutes of the
new university. These were formulated by the
American bishops and are now being examined
by com-bishops and a dispatch from Rome
says that they are now printed. They are
prefaced by papal brief, in which warm
eulogy is paid to America. The members of
the commission which has been examining
them are Cardinal Simeoni, prefect of the pro-
paganda; Cardinal Laurenzi, Cardinal Schiaf-
ino, Cardinal Vannutelli, and Cardinal MAJ
zella. The latter is an American citizen. For
several years he was professor at the Jesuit
college at Woodstock, Md.
News comes from Bishop Keane that his mis-
sion to the eternal city has thus far been very
successful. He has secured the Rev. DIR. Henry
Hyvernat, a distinguished Roman professor, to
fill the chair of biblical archaeology. The Bos-
ton Pilots Roman correspondent says that this
department embraces Egyptology and Assyrio-
logy in their illustration of and connection with
the Old Testament. According to this author
ity it forms most valuable and nowadays a
necessary introduction to the study of the
Sacred Scriptures. DR.. Hyvernat has just pub
lished a work on Coptic photography. He is
now making researches in Assyria, and the
knowledge gained by this tour will be impaired
to the students of the new university.
I Father Garrigan has been informed by Bishop
Keane that a Californian, Judge O'Connor, of
San Jose, has sent him $4,000 with which to
establish an additional faculty in the divinity
department of the new university. The new
faculty win be that of canon. law. A professor
has not yet been chosen, but the Rev. DIR. T. J.
Shahan, of Hartford, Conn, viii be the as
sistant.
Bishop Keane win probably leave Rome early
in April

ST. GEORGE, ONT, Feb. 2s.-The bridge
through which the st. Louis express crashed
last evening is sixty feet high, and ia a sub
stantial iron structure, with massive stone
piers. To avoid even the possibility of an ac-
cident, it was overhauled a week or two ago.
The accident was caused by broken wheel
The heavy dining car broke through the iron
trestle work only after the ties and other wood
work had been stripped off by the car ahead.
The dining car being constructed mostly of
iron, it was almost impossible to force an en-
trance into it by the use of axes and saws. 1t
fell on its end, and the passengers were thrown
to the bottom among mass OF broken tables
and dishes.

imminent, but luckily the first thought of the
rescuers was to prevent this still worse horror
from Detailing the poor victims crushed be-
meath the mass of debris.
Beneath all one man lay calling for help.
When taken out he was found to be very slight
ly injured. The shrieks of lady, near him,
were heartrending, and she died before the
rescuers could get her out. Two men were sit
ting together. engaged in conversation, when
the crash came. One was instantly killed and
the other was rescued, badly, but not hopeless
ly injured.

Inauguration Day Weather.


WHAT GEN. GREELY SAYS To-DAY-No TROUBLE
FEARED HERE FROM THE THREATENED STORM
The signal Office view of Inauguration wea-
ther is somewhat brighter this morning than
yesterday, although there are no definite as
surances of anything for next Monday. Gen.
Greely said this morning that he thought, on
the whole, that the conditions were much more
favorable than they were when he made his
general remark yesterday. The storm sighted
on the coast proved to be much further north
than was expected and is now centered in Brit
ish America, just northwest of the great lakes,
with indications that it will continue ON q north
erly track, and viii hence have little or no effect
on the weather conditions here. There is a
very general rain in the southwest, apparently
the result of the storm. The maps give a hint
that there viii be no very cold weather on the
coast.
But Gen. Greedy refuses to make any official
prediction of the weather so far in advance.
He says that he can give his impressions,
gained from a study Of the conditions, but that
such thing as definite prediction of the
weather four days in advance would be an alb
surdity. 1t sometimes happens, but very seldom,
that unusually favorable conditions throughout
the western portion Of the country make il
possible TO predict three days in advance. Even
two days is a hazard. On Saturday morning
the general will issue an official prediction Of
the weather which may be expected ON Mon
day.
