TO EASE THE MONEY MARKET
Secretary Window win Relieve tho Pres.
sure When Necessary.

Secretary Window arrived at the Fifth Ave-
nue Hotel from Stockbridge. on his way to
Washington. yesterday morning. 1t was soon
known in Wall street that the Secretary was
in town, and in view Of the great money strln-
Gency In financial circles In the last two days a
number Of influential bankers In the street
called upon him. Among them we're Mr.. Jesse
sellgman, President Baker OF tho First Ma
tional Bank. President Cannon OF the Chase
National Bank, President Williams OF tho
Chemical Bank. Mr.. Colgate. the great silver
banker, and others.
Mr. Window in conversation last night said
that the calls OF these gentlemen were without
especial Significance. 1t could be In no sense
considered, he added. a conference on the
financial situation. Mr.. Window believed. and
so expressed himself with the gentlemen In
conversation between them. that his circular
calling for $40, 100000 Az per cents recorded
most liberal policy on the part OF the Treasury
department. some Of the Secretary's visitors
advanced certain views which were calculated
to do away with any stringency even after the
twcnty-mlllion call had been taken. The sec-
rotary said that he was not at liberty to say
what these views WERE but he smllingly added
that he would take them with him to Washing
ton this morning and give them full and timely
consideration. Tho Secretary finally said that
he did not believe that there would be further
trouble OF moment in the money market.
Some OF the Secretary's visitors we're o little
more explicit concerning the interviews with
him. They came away believing that all OF the
s2c.OO0.O00 will be taken within the next ten or
fourteen days. The fact that nearly three
millions we're taken yesterday gave them great
satisfaction. After q further discussion with
the Secretary 1t was apparent tn at II tho twenty
million call did not substantially relieve the
situation. there would bo further and yet rea-
sonable m cans taken to relieve the financial
and commercial community from further com.
plication. They believed that the worst OF the
squeeze had passed. 1t was recalled to the
Secretary that there were still elRhty-ssven
millions OF, these bonds which could be re-
called. provided the Secretary had tho neces-
sary funds with which to mako the call Some
Of the bankers and bank Presidents who talked
with the Secretary believed that this would not
be necessary. but II 1t were they came away
fully convinced that Mr. Window had deter
mined upon wisely liberal policy. and they
felt assured that there would not be again for
some time the unreasonable and ridiculous
rates for money current that the last few days

Marriage Bells.

On March 9th, 1890, at the resi-
dence of the brides parents, near
Montgomery, La, Mr.. J. W. SWEET
man and Miss Leila Dunn were
united in marriage, the Rev. j. F.
Wynn officiating. Only the imme-
date friends and relatives were
present. The groom is an efficient
freight conductor on the Texas and
Pacific railroad. He has resided in
Boyce for a year or two, and has
many warm friends. The bride is
most lovable young lady, and num-
bers her friends by the score, both
at home and abroad.
Precisely at 80 p. m, the bride
and groom entered the parlor, and,
after an impressive cerimony, were
made man and wife. The groom
looked very handsome in the regu-
lation suit of black. The bride
was beautiful indeed in a lovely
dress of cream color, with decor
atoms of ribbon and orange bios

were received the guests repaired

brides cake was to be cut, and to
partake of refreshments. After
several attempts by all of the young

unfortunately, the dime fell to her

Truth at the Bottom of a Well.

There are thousands of people
who have desired to see what the
bottom of an oil well looked like
after a hundred quart glycerine
torpedo had been exploded IN 1T,
says the Philadelphia Times. Bat
no ordinary mortal could crawl
down six-inch hole to the depth
of two thousand feet if he wanted
to. and no sane one would want to
if he could. So the curious oil
seeker has heretofore been COM
PEELED to guess as to the effect OF
the torpedo shot.
An oil country Photographer has
furnished the desired picture. The
successful experiment was made at
Warren on Thursday. The instru-
ment was let down to the bottom
of a LOO foot well, which had been
subjected to a torpedo explosion.
When the camera touched bottom
a bright flash lit up the cavity, i'm
pressing a perfect picture on tie
negative. A cavity fourteen feet
broad and seven feet deep below
the oil sand was revealed. Into
this cavity enlarged by the force OF
a glycerine explosion, from the
ordinary six-inch drill hole the
oil trickled and accumulated, ready
to be pumped to the surface.
Has nature any more secrets she
would like to hide from inquisitive
man? If so, they will need to be
buried beyond the reach of the OIL
driller's steel anger. Into the
deepest recesses the drill can pene
