at times very dull. For the first time in several
days, however, first prices were generally lower

per cent from the opening prices, the declines
were entirely insignificant. Later there was a
better tone and some stocks recovered to about
last evenings figures, but in the regular list
the movements were unworthy of notice. Sugar

march, and opening at 81, advanced to 991S but
afterward lost the entire Improvement. Read

parents residence, No. 1914 I'd avenue, from
the effects. it is alleged. of a beating received

lives in the same house with the Hippars. and
the other two next door. Little Tobias was the
youngest of three brothers. who for some rea-
son have been made butts of By the other bows
of the neighborhood. II seems that whenever
one of the Hippar boys made his appearance
on the street he was set upon by the neighbors
boys and beaten or otherwise assaulted.
On Wednesday afternoon Tobias was return
ing from school alone. when he was attacked
by Charley DOrr and Louis Harrington each
aged twelve, and Willie Lutz, aged ten. Tobias
was thrown to the ground his mouth and ears

the street, and when he could no longer cry for
help his cruel prosecutors

and with numerous contusions on his head and
body. He was placed in bed and became de-
lirious during the night. and gradually grew
worse until O'Clock last evening. when he
died. The BOYS above named are under arrest
Mrs. Hippar says the only explanation she can
give of the persecution of her children lies in
the fact that theirs is the only Hebrew family
living in the house.

that the evidence is sufficient TO show that the
