its operations and management under the contract
made with tho philadelphia Company, Of which George

ouired into the question Of the permanencS Oh me
natural gas supply. His investigations were maae

of the recent bond to the amount of SlOoooOo'

By the operations of the New-York Sub-Treasury
in the week ended last evening, which included
receipts Of sl,251, sos for gold taken from the
Assay Office for export, and payments Of s64e,23s
for purchased bonds, the associated banks OF
New York lost 81, 269,477 cash. The gold exports
count in to-day's bank statement for loss OF
about $780, 900. The statement reports the aver
age cash for the week S501,100 greater than
that for the preceding week This reflects a
considerable movement from the interior during
the week, but yet the actual cash holding at
the close Of business yesterday probably was
81 900, 900 less than the average. Tho loans were
expanded S3.335, 200. The increase ts3,si4,10o)
in deposits is about the sum OF gain the other
changes call for. The statement results In q

WHAT WAS DONE In STOCKS.
The stock market opened depressed in figures.
London quotations came away below last nights
home prices. because, as it is reported by private
cables, there was pressure there to sell rs low as
possible for New-YorlS account When our msrhnt
opened, the London quotations were the guides to
the first prices. There was perfect rush to sell
everybody selling and no one buying Yet the
universal offerings were absorbed by the mo-
body" so that the first prices were about the
lowest of the day. After the early rush was over.
there came period OF reflection. II was dis
covered that stocks sold at the first figures al
though there had interviewed frst-class panic
in your mind - and stin showed no profit Only
moderate efforts to recoup during the second and
last hour of business, resulted in marking prices
generally higher than at last evenings closing.
To-day being day on which no stocks are de.
live red there was no stock loan market and, there
fore no reelection of the character OF yesterdays
selling Mondays loan market will show that
Of Yesterday and today; SeemIngy the DIM d 81
of contracts There are indications however, that
next week the few neal buyers there have been
will demand prompt deliveries BY special ne
quest we quote the closing dull and only steady
at about the best figures Of the day.

Ada Morley came up from Warren
Sunday, for the purpose, as she said,
of decorating her husbands grave.
She brought with her a geranium, o
bottle of whisky, and one George Hen.
niger, to assist her. The twain were
arrested later in the day, by officer
Lewis, who nabbed them while driving
through Main street, having apparent
ly forgotten their floral mission, the
memory of which was lost in the fumes
of whiskey land. When brought be-
fore Mayor Holcomb, Monday after
noon, charged with being woman of
the town, she repeated the story of
her desire to honor the memory of her
dead husband by strewing flowers on
his grave This touching exhibition
OF her devotion so aroused the sympa-
lhy of His Honor that he gave her go
DAYS in the Work house, and promise
t1at if she was again brought before
him, he would impose fine and sem
tence which would give her employ
ment for year. She was taken to the
works Tuesday, it being the third time
within a year that she has been one OF
its inmates.
Henniger pleaded guilty to intoxi'
cation, and was fined $5 and costs. in
default of which he abides within the
