NEW YORK, Jan. lO.-The coal stocks and es-
pecially Reading and the sugar refneries con-
tinued to hold the attention of traders in the
stock market this morning. and while there
there was a moderately active business done
those stocks were responsible for the great
bulk of it, The attitude IN Reading is still a
waiting one, but long stock, especially from
the smaller holders, continued to come out and
the pressure upon the leaders gave the market
a heavy tone, although the fluctuations IN the
general list were entirely insignificant and the
business done very small Opening prices
showed some irregularlty az compared with
those of last evening, but were generally from
Is to y per cent lower and sugar refineries
was on rs at sos. The last-named stock re-
tired TO tO14, but quickly rose to 5lS4, after
which it steadily declined and lost all the in
proyement, retiring to 80, though 1t rallied .
little toward the end OF the hour. The coalers,
under the excellent support accorded them,
yielded only small fractions and later recovered
their losses. Toledo, Ann Arbor and Northern
Michigan rose from 81 to 80, but settled back .

importance in the general list At IL o'clock
the market was still fairly active and firm, gen.

WHO GOT THE MEAT?
Alleged Colored Burglars Locked Up
They Talk Too Much.

George alias Henry Young and John Wallace,
young colored men, were behind the bars at
the sixth precinct station this morning charged
with breaking into J. I. Varnells meat house
in Cox's alley and carrying off more than $50
worth of meat Both prisoners had formerly
been in Mr.. Varnell's employ. Hams aud other
pieces of meat were taken from time to time,
and Wednesday night the building was entered
and robbed. The lock was broken from the
door and the meat taken away. The police
were notified of the burglary and yesterday
morning, after long chase, Policeman Cos
tello captured John Wallace. The officer sus-
pected Young and this morning he was ar
rested by Policeman Slack. At the station tine
prisoners were placed in adjoining cells. They
talked of the merits of the case, but Young in
sisted on postponement of the conversation
until they got in the Maria" Wallace, how
ever wanted to discuss the matter, because he
said he was not present when Young took the
meat.
Now tell de trufe," said Wallace. "was /

Young made no reply but insisted on waiting
until they got in the Maria"
What is you goin' to plead?" each asked the

more, two in Philadelphia, two in New York
and two in Cincinnati.
PENSIONS FOR HOSPITAL NURSES.
Senator Hiscock yesterday introduced q bill
providing that all women commissioned by the
surgical department of the United States SER
vice as army nurses, or who held commissions
from the United States sanitary and Christian
commissions during the late war of the rebel
hon, and who rendered service in the hospitals,
diet kitchens or on the battle field, who, on ac-
count of age or disability, are unable to pro-
vide for their own sustenance, shall be entitled
to pension of S12 month.
NOTES.
The Senate was not in session to-day, having
yesterday afternoon adjourned till Monday.
Ex-Secretary Colman for Governor.
Washington special to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat says:
Norman j. Colman will shortly be announced
formally as a candidate for the democratic
nomination for governor. A leading democratic
official of Missouri said today: "We think
Colmah is the man to restore the old-time
democratic majority, and we are going to push
him. He is very strong with the farmers. His
success as commissioner and Secretary of Agri-
culture, added to his lifetime devotion to agri-
cultural interests, makes him the most avail
able man for us to nominate. The only objec-
ton that can be raised is the fact that he is a
st. Louis man. and that st. Louis has just had
two governors. That, we think, can be over
come by Col Colmans strength with the farm
ers and his evident availability. OF course
Hatch and Bland and Dockery have their
friends, but We think they will all conclude to
remain in Congress. where they can stay as
long as they like. There does not at present
seem to be any reason to doubt that Col Col
man will be our next nominee"

Names of Streets.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
wish to interpose an objection to Capt.
Rossels suggestion that X street be stricken
from the map of the city. 1t seems to me that
the system of street designation adopted by the
plotters of the city is a most admirable one and
commends itself universally; and why the au.
thorities should wish to destroy il or fail to be
question to answer. X street should remain
and Y and 2 streets should be added. This
would give us a block Of twenty-five streets;
then beginning again the second block should
be named after our prominent men, still pre-
