From Wall Street To-day.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10, IL a.m.-The stock mar.
ket this morning exhibited no change in it,
general characteristics from those of the pre-
vious few days, dull business confined princi.
paily to few leading shares, Insignificant iuc-
tnations with no pronounced tendency in
either direction. First prices, as compared
with last evenings figures, were steady to firm
and the tone of the succeeding transactions
were still firm, although the improvement in
quotations was measured by the smallest frac-
tions. Later the market yielded, and most OF
the list were carried down below first figures
The interest was conferred entirely in the Gould
stocks, and Western Union and Missouri Pa
cific were the active specialties, but while the
former was strong and advanced q, the latter
showed declining tendency and early retired
to below its first price. Cotton oil was active
and after opening where it did yesterday
moved up "a per cent, but lost portion of the
improvement. st. Paul. Lake shore, Reading
and New England showed some approach te
animation. but absolutely no feature was de.
yeloped, and at IL o'clock the market was ex.
tremely dull and rather heavy at insignifican,
changes from the opening figures.

BLOWN INTO NIAGARA RIVER.
The Suspension Bridge Nearest the
Falls Wrecked by a Gale.

LoCKPoRT, N. Y, The suspension bridge sit
uated nearest the falls was carried away by a
gale at about 3 o'clock this morning and de-
posted in the river. The towers and cables
remain intact. The bridge had recently been
rebuilt and enlarged for double track. The
bridge was built entirely of iron and steel and
was owned by the Niagara Falls and Clifton
Suspension Bridge companies. The company
stock was held in Oswego and Canada and has
always paid large dividends The loss is about
$4,000. 1t will probably be rebuilt as soon as
possible. All points of interest along the river
at the waters edge suffered more or less. The
water was never known to be so high. The In
buildings in the vicinity were blown down. The
gale was the severest known here and lasted
from p. IN. yesterday until daylight this
morning.

OCEAN PENNY POSTAGE.

MIR. Heaton Gives Further Facts and
Figures I'm Favor Of 1t.
Special Cable Dispatch to TEE EVENING STAR
LONDON. Jan. 10.-Mr. Henniker Heaton gives
facts and figures in support Of the inclusion of
America in the proposed scheme for ocean
penny postage. The cost Of carriage of mails
to America is 100000 per annuna, but the re-
ceipts exceed f1s5, 900. In America letters are
carried $4,000 miles for a penny. The British
government pays less than a half penny per
letter for carriage from Southampton to New
York. Between 184s and 1886 over f32 200, 900
were RENTED by settlers in the states
and Canada to relatives and friends in England
He adds that he has hundred such reasons in
favor of the scheme

Eleven Bodies Already Recovered from
the Ruins of the Pittsburg Building.

Eleven Bodies Already Recovered from
the Ruins of the Pittsburg Building.
PITTsBURG Jan. 10.-The search for victims
in the ruins wrought by yesterdays storm was
prosecuted all night and will be vigorously
continued until the debris is all cleaned
away. This will probably take several days
and the exact number OF victims will not be
known until the work is completed. No bodies
were discovered from midnight until o'clock
this morning, when the mangled remains of two
men were found close together under portion
of one of the walls of the falling building. They
were so horribly mutilated as to be unrecog-
niZable. but were finally identified as the bod
les of John L. RogersOn and Thomas Jones.
They are employed as bricklayers on the ill
fated Wiley building and lived at Castle Shan
non. Pa. Rogerson leaves a wife and three
children.
DEATH OF YOUNG GoeRHING.
Joseph Goerhing, the brave sixteen-year-old
lad who was rescued last night, after being
kept alive for several hours by means of gum
hose, through which whisky and beef tea were
fed to him, died at Mercy hospital this morn
ing. The death list now foots up
IL, the wounded 35, and the missing s.
A number of the wounded are in o
critical condition, and their deaths are momen-
tarily expected There are all kinds of rumors
in regard to the number still in the ruins One
of the men working on the building yesterday
said he was certain they would find at least
twelve more, but this is believed to be too high
an estimate.
EIGHT BODIES STILL IN THE RUINS.
None of the men reported missing have been
heard from, and it is believed that at least
eight persons are still buried in the debris.
There is no hope of any now in the ruins being
alive that it is safe to say that the death list
will exceed a score.
The streets in the vicinity of the wreck
are still full of people, but the terrible ex-
element of yesterday has given place to awe and
pity. The morgue was besieged with callers all
day, and many heartrending scenes were
enacted as anxious visitors discovered in the
bruised and distorted features Of the dead the
well-known faces of loved ones or friends. The
bodies lay on cots covered by sheets, only the
faces being visible, and unless for the purpose
of identification, not further exposed.
Damage I'm Northern Ohio.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 10.-Reports from many
towns in northern Ohio say that the wind
storm of yesterday did considerable damage
to property. At Ravedna small brick
foundry wrecked. At Akron, Ohio. Chin
neys and trees were blown down and many
windows broken by the force of the wind The
temperature has fallen steadily all day. Thus
far no loss of life is reported. In
Cleveland hundreds of telephone and
telegraph wires were blown down
and canvas-coveredde delivery wagons overturned.
Trees we're knocked to the EARTH insecure
roofs and chimneys were demolished, but there
was no loss of life.

Prospects of a Settlement of the Indian
Reservation Question.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1O.-A dispatch from Lower
Brule Agency, Oak. says: The Indians at this
agency have decided to call general council
OF the Sioux tribe, and will send letters of invi-
tation to the other tribes to meet at Rosebud
agency in the near future and select a dele
CATION of chiefs to go to Washington with in
structions to negotiate the sale of their lands.
The Brules express themselves as satisfied with
the proposed bill of Indian Commissioner
Oberly giving them 81 per acre, and think
that all the other Indians will agree with them,
but desire to send delegation of chiefs of
their own selection instead of having agents
selected for them. 1t now looks as though a
satisfactory settlement of the reservation ques-
ton might be reached this winter

AN ANACosTIA SENSATION.
The Mysterious Disappearance Of O
Pretty Girl.

sensation has been created in Anacostia nv
the discovery Of the mysterious disappearance
OF very pretty young woman. the I7-year-old
daughter Of awell-known resident Of that town.
Last spring a young man was employed BY
the father, and while boarding at his house be-
gan to pay attention 10 the daughter, who.
though a mere girl, is q very attractive and
vlvacious little brunette, and whose bright
eyes made such sad havoc with the young
man heart that he proposed. was accepted
and they were married, much TO the dieust OF
the girls parents. Soon after the marriage
vague rumors reached the girls father 10 the
effect that there was living in Bostow, Fla,
the wife and child Of his daughters husband.
This report was confirmed by letters found
In his son-in-laws room, from his wife and
Others and also by letter from the mayor Of
Bostow. but before enough evidence was OBJ
tanned for his arrest the suspect left for parts
unknown. His bride declared herself satisfied
OF his perhdy, said she was done with him, as
sumed her maiden name and went 70
live with friend Of the family i'm
East Washington. IL has since been
learned that she has been in correspondence
with the man she married and some knowing
ones allege that she has gone 10 New York 10
join her bigamistic spouse, who is known 10
have been there recently. Others Of her
friends claim that the man in question is in this
city; that she is with him. and il being kept
under cover for time. A mysterious woman,
il is said. has called and seen her several times
recently at her boarding place, and some claim
that has something 20 do with her disappear
ance. When she decamped the only clue left
was a letter stating that "all search would be
useless, she could not be found" Her
parents are nearly crazed over their new
trouble: but have, as yet, taken no steps 10
track the girl, although she is still under age.
