NEW YORK. August 21.-The dull
market continued to day, but realizing
in the morning prevented any such
boom as we had yesterday. Sill the
news was all favorable. There was no
disposition 10 drive the marfet up. 1t
was a healthy advance. In the after
noon the treasury accepted five and a
half millions of per cent. bonds at
l2S, Ieassuring everybody about money
and the call rate fell to 1 per cent.
London wants to come very much now.
Weather for corn Is excellent. Steps
were taken to-day to save docking Val
lev. Railroad earnings were all good.
Europe must buy our wheat. Coke dis
putes have been settled, rates are stable
Tor the moment; tonnage Is large and
growing larger. 1t Is impossible to tell
when public will come into the market
and before it comes we will be likely L"
have some ups and downs, but all the
time there will be move ups. In the
last hour the market was very strong,
and closed at the top.

A Wedding Anniversary at Freeport Yes

About 200 relatives and friends partici-
pated in the festivities. In the morning
they gathered at the home of the couple,
and congratulations Oh all hands melted
into blessings. Toward noon the entire
party adjourned to the Presbyterian Church,
where magnificent dinner was served OF
course this part of the programme was not
hurried, but when it was concluded, the
scene of exercises was again transferred,
this tine to the Methodist Church.
Here the townspeople turned out in large
numbers, there also being representatives
from the city and other towns in attendance.
Songs by the young people, and speeches by
the older ones, put in the afternoon. Among
those who spoke were Rev. Wright, of the
M. E. Church; Rev. Thompson, OF the Pres

Thomas Crehan is Charged With Stabbing
Frank Boden in the Side.
Thomas Crehan was arrested at the Penn
sylvania Tube Works yesterday charged
with cutting Frank Boden last Tuesday
night. Crehan could not be found the
morning after the affair, so the police kept
it secret until he was apprehended. The
circumstances were about as follows:
Crehan, Robert Matthews and John As
kins, all residents of the Eleventh ward,
were passing up Wylie avenue about mid
night of the day mentioned, and at the cor
ner of Roberts street were Joined by Boden.
Crehan and Boden got into dispute which
ended by Crehan plungfng a knife
into Boden's right side, pene-
trating the lung. BOden was able
to walk home, and as the wound bled
but little, he went to bed without saying
anything to his family about it. The next
morning he was found lying unconscious by
his brother. who called in DR.. Irwin, and
the latter said the wound might have a
fatal termination. Boden then communi-
Gated the facts to Inspector McAleese, but
Crehan could not be found.
Yesterday being pay day at the tube
works, and Crehan having some wages due,
the Inspector sent Detective Fitzgerald to
watch for Crehan when he came to collect
his pay. Crehan slipped up to the Office
about o'clock, and as his envelope was
handed out to him the detectives hand was
laid upon his shoulder. He was taken to
Central station and will be held pending
the result of Boden's injuries. Boden's
condition has been improving since yester-
day morning, but he is not yet out of dan

sTONEMASONs DETERMINED.

Those Working for Nom Union Contractor
May Go to Work To- Morrow.
The stonemasons who are now on strike
held large and enthusiastic meeting last
night in the Hiberian Hall on Wylie ave-
nue.. A number of speeches were made,
and resolution passed reiterating their de-
mands, and deciding to stand out until the
contractors granted them. There was not one
man at the meeting who wanted to go to
work at the terms first proposed by the en-
ployers.
A resolution was adopted to have walking
delegates out on the lookout for anything
that might occur, detrimental to the inter-
ests of the masons. At some places it is
feared that the stone cutters will consent to
set the stone in position, which they have
heretofore refused to do.
A resolution was also passed thanking the
cutters for refusing to set the stone.
Another meeting will be held tomorrow
morning, when number of propositions
from contractors who are in the Stone Con-
tractors Association will be considered.
These contractors have agreed to pay what
is demanded by the masons, il the union
allows their men to go to work. The jour-
neymen's association has adhered to the
"all win or die together" policy. They will
not allow one set of men to return to work
until they all go back at the same time.
About half the employers have signed the
scale. At the meeting tomorrow it is very
likely that those who can get the 40 cents
will be allowed to return to work; and, in
deed, all may be back at work by Tuesday.
There are nearly 600 men out altogether,
and the spring building is being delayed in
consequence.
