John Mcmahon the defaulting ex-Col-
lector of Revenue was released from the
State Prison in Trenton at one o'clock
this morning.
McMahon's time was not up until noon,
but to save any crowd or excitement his
sentence was commuted by two hours
He Immediately boarded train on the
Pennsylvania Railroad and arrived at
jersey City at twelve o'clock His wife
and daughter were the only friends to
greet him.
At ten o'clock on the morning of Feb
ruary 13, 1886, he entered the gloomy
prison and has not been outside the walls
until this morning. The prolonged con-
finement has had its effect on the prison
er. When he entered the prison he was
one of the handsomest men, tall and erect
of carriage. with flowing black mus
tache and jet black hair.
Now all is changed. His friends could
scarcely recognize him. His cheeks are
sunken and his hair has turned white as
snow. When he arrived at The depot he
was driven in coach to his residence on
Monroe street. where the scene between
the father and his family was touching
one
McMahon says he will attempt to live
down the past. At about the same time
that McMahon was released it was
whispered that Mayor Grassman had
vetoed the resolution of the counsel ac-
cepting $40, 200 as compromise from the
bondsmen. This will not affect the set
tlement, however, as the counsel will pass
it over the Mayors veto.

THE TRADHSMEN dine.
Board of Trades Annual
Banquet at Taylor's
Hotel.
MANY NOTABLE SPEECHES MADE.
The Guests We're Entertained with
Discourses ON Politics and
Business, with Some
Fun Thrown In.

1t may be as one of it's critics has said,
the Board of Trade has not been over
successful in obtaining from the Board Of
Aldermen an amelioration of the many
evils which it has discovered in our city
government, but as the giyer of
thoroughly enjoyable dinners, the Board
is an unqualified success. This was
demonstrated last evening to the entire
satisfaction Of the $50 gentlemen who sat
down to the Boards second annual dinner
in Taylor's Hotel.
The members of the Board and their
guests met in the parlors early in the
evening and short time was spent in
social intercourse previous to the pan
quet. About half-pass seven the doors
of the large dining room were thrown
open and the company marched in to the
time of lively march which was played
by Cranmer's orchestra, which was
stationed in a corner of the room in a
small grove of pa Inns.
DIR. Leonard j. Gordon sat at the head
of the table with +. K. Thurber, of New
York, on his right and Mayor Cleveland
on his left. AT the same table were the
other guests and speakers of the even
lng:-The Rev. p Corrigan, of st. Mary's

The story of a Beaten Reporter.

Principal Lycett, Of No. 2 School, in
Hoboken, is greatly incensed at the ex-
aggerated reports of an alleged panic in
that school yesterday morning.
About quarter past eleven o'clock
yesterday morning. said Mr.. Lycett, "a
piece of plaster about foot square fell
from the ceiling III the class room of Miss
Noyes, striking one of the pupils. That
is the whole story. There was no excite
ment or panic and nothing worthy of
mention"
Miss De Noyes, the teacher who circu-
lated the report of the accident to one of
The gentlemen on the local paper, will
probably be censured at the next meeting

Louisville, Ky.

LOUISVILLE, KY. Nov. 22.-Largely re-
duced offerings, both in quantity ana
quality. Of burleys. with about the same
quantity Of dark as last week, were the
| leading features OF this week.
Burley-The quality OF offerings this week
were exceptionally poor generally. with a
large proportion funkcd. The few. that were
offered Of good 10 select red and bright filler
/ leaf met with an active demand, and very
strong at outside figures, with demand
| largely ahead of the supply. Common and
medium filters in good order were IN fair
supply, but somewhat irregular in price
/ throughout the week and on the whole
nearer inside figures, which are unchanged.
| Red smokers were in good supply, more
active, and prices Of all grades nearer
outside igures-alsO unchanged. Cutting
of all grades very scarce, with nothing
strictly bright offered. Prices. therefore,
rather nominal throughout. on the ls9O
crop -iXty.tWO hOgsheads were sold TINS
week. which were taken readily by leading
manufacturers at good prices for good and
mediHm leaf, which ranged from ne. TO
ne, considered not to be quite as nigh
/ as last year, although the quality Onered
so far does not show up as good, being
coarse bony and light-bOdied, but not a
/ fair indication Of what the crop gener-
| ally really is. The tarsh and common Tugs
were very inferior, and sold corresponding
| ~ low from lc. upwards, with nc paid
/ for good lugs.
Darks-The character Of the offerings
/ this week showed more French ana Italian
regie styles than for some weeks past,
which met with active competition, but
without change i'm prices. Good dark Tugs
were in better demand and somewhat
hrmer. Nondescripts and dark trash Tugs
very dull.
Green River Fillers-The few offered this
week were sold at full prices, with none
over medium.
Private sales this week embraced 40 hogs
heads Of Green river filters, 1889 crop, 800
hogsheads in different lots OF loSS, and l3i
hogshesds OF 1889 crop dark leaf and Tugs
/ 10 regie BUYERS.

in our last, our market was glutted with
tobacco all this week. sales reaching the
large quantity Of o93.700 pounds, az ainst
lGS. 700 pounds last week, increasing the
total since October !, 1890, to 1,77j,3O0
pounds, against 1,12CiO0O pounds during
same period last season. The bulk Of the
offerings consisted Of dark tObaccos. which
showed partly very useful quality, good
body and substance. and ripe brown ana
dark color, though we also saw plenty Of
nOndescript. light. and coarse tobacco. On
the whole, the crop may not come up TO our
expectations, but it is no doubt better
crO) than last years, and contains as fine
tobacco as any we have seen for many years.
Prices for all grades have started very
high, and in the whole have remained firm
all this week. iu spite Of the heavy pressure
Of our offerings. though some grades were
slightly easier during the last few days.

come heavy purchasers Of cotton in Liver

spectable the arrival market displayed

The stock market opened somewhat fever
ish this morning, and prices fuctuated ire
Quenty. Throughout the morning trade
was quiet and active. and some OF the lead
ing stock were subjected 10 vigorous bear
hammering at intervals. The disturbing
factors in the market to-day were the
application for a receiver for Oregon i'm
pr0vcments, the financial troubles re-
ported from the Argentine Republic, and
some wide fluctuations IN the sugar Trust
certificates. Oregon improvements shares,
which sold yesterday no 10, sold down 10 ii
this morning. The fluctuations In the sugar
Trust were due 10 the definite order made
Yesterday by Judge Pratt requiring the
trustees 80 make a clear statement in re-
gard 10 the property owned by the Trust, so
that the certificate holders may have a
definite idea Of what the property is
worth. At the Office Of the Oregon
Improvement Company to-day II was
stated that President smith was III. No
statement as % the condition Of the COM
pany could be had. The reports from
BucnOs Ayres say that there had been an
advance I'm the premium on gold there from
rs 90 300. This caused apprehension that
il would renew some difficulties In Lon
don. ANA that this would cause a
selling of stocks for London account. AT !
O'Clock tie market ranged from u 10 oA per
cent for the general list, the latter
in sugar trusts. Oregon Improvement
was the next weakest. The sales
ND 90 noon amounted % l1j,SOO
shares. Rock Island was the only notable
exception advancing ia per cent. About
! o'clock the failure OF ). Cook NaldrOn
was announced, but the announcement had
no percepible effect. Mr. Waldron was a
room trader. and his suspension was due
10 his being caught short OF the
market during the rally OF yester-
dav His liabilities are placed AT from
$4,000 odd TO $4,000. There was fur-
Their weakness during the afternoon, led
by Missouri Pacific, and nearly every stock
on the list recorded further declines. Rock
Island continued the exception, being trm
throughout the afternoon on reports that
the road had certainly agreed 10 come
into the new combination Of roads west Of
Chicago 90 advance rates, and that the COM
binatiOn was assuming enough tangibility
10 be talked about. Late this afternoon Mr..
Joseph Simon was appointed receiver for
the oregon Improvement Company. The
market CLOSED weak and \ 20 per cent.

President Harrison.

IT was n charming conceit of Private"
ALLEN, of Mississippi. to threaten to pro-
pose the erection in Washington of life
size statuette of BEN. HARRIsoS."
IL il strictly a non-partisan joke. for out
side of the official family of the present
incumbent Of the White House it Will be
appreciated by all the people of this coun-
try.
The campaign cartoonist in 1888 repre-
sented Mr.. HARRISON az poor, little weak
ling. who was nearly pressed 10 earth by
his rrandfather's hat in which he was mas
querading.
The idea was at once picturesque OF the
great head Of WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON
and of the littleness of BINS. But BINS
has grown a vast deal since he got TO
Washington, not from acquisition of brains,
but from self-inhation AMI official conse-
quence.
He is set down by the world as narrow
and conceited man. Perhaps he would
not appear so diminutive if il were not sc
often his misfortune TO be thrown into
company and contrast with MIR. BLAINE.
Here now we find Mr.. HARRISON utterinl
threats that he will not run as President
again unless the force bill is passed" as i
either his country or the general public
would suffer in the slightest by his retire
ment from public life.
Why, if BLAINE should take him up an(
pigeon-holo him away In some unfrequent
ed garrett Of the State Department thu
country would never know 1t had suffered
loss.
So many Republicans are ANXIOUS 20 b.
rid Of HARRISON it ought TO create no sur
prise If they allow the force bill to be killo'
for the sake of getting him out of the way
With them the thought that the Presiden
aspires to denomination is maddenine
They do not want him; the Democrats d
not want hun the country does not wan
him.
1.-The life-size statuette" is the thing
II represents the popular measurement
the chief of our republic.
