NEW YORK, April s.-After its protracted
Easter holiday, the London stock exchange re-
sumed business to-day. Apparently the bears
on this side OF the water have made the most OF
their time, and have supplied Englishmen liber-
ally with doleful tidings concerning events in
this country. The London market for our secu-
rites was weak in spots where our market was
weak yesterday. Union Pacific registered the
greatest declines, rehe citing the vague bear talk
| about that property, which has been so extern
slVely 1ndu ICED IN on Wall street during the past
few days. Readings weakness was attributed
by many to disappointment over the supposed
failure OF attempts to effect the removal OF Mr..
Corbin, in which Londoners were active.
Our own market was insignificant. Manhat-
tan was the principal feature. The movement
of this stock to-day was similar to rise of Lake
Shore few weeks ago. A fair-sized buying
order caused a considerable rise IN prices,
thereby showing how strongly stock is held.
This stimulated some trading.
The Horn silver mining shares were the most
active stocks in the extremely limited market.

ing Atchison. To-day's report was that Febru-
airy earnings showed net increase of $265, 637.
Advices from Chicago report growing belief
that there will be an unpleasantly lively war OF
st. Paul and seaboard rates this summer. Mr..
Hill, with his Great Northern system, is certain
ly shaking things up. In Wall street many pre-
dictions made to the effect that Chicago's
days distributing point are numbered, and
that in the future she must rely upon her man
ufactures. The geographical advantages OF
Mr.. Hills system of steamships and railroads is
talked of constantly. The Great Northern
tablishment of Seyenty-one cent scale between
st. Paul and the seaboard is regarded fixing
maximum rates for through business, and also
for local business from Chicago to St. Paul.
There are fears, too, that the National Despatch
and Lehigh Valley will introduce the II cent
scale rates to st. Paul via Chicago. This
would demoraliZe intermediate rates.

Barton Acknowledges His GuiIt-A Sharper
Arrested for SwIndIIng.
special to the Gazette.
MINEoLA, TEX, April 8.-Some few
days ago Deputy Sheriff r. L. Terrell
arrested on suspicion a man giving his
name as White, but later gave it as Bar
ton. This morning Mr.. Terrell received
a telegram from the sheriff from Salem +,
Ind. that this man was wanted there
for a murder committed in 1888. When
shown the telegram Barton weakened :,
and acknowledged his guilt. He says he
did not commit the murder himself, but
he loaned his pistol to a man named
Thompson, who killed a man and robbed
him, but says he shared the spOils. Mr..
Terrell will leave tonight for st. Louis
with the man, where he will be met by
the sheriff from Indiana. A reward of
$3.50 will be paid for the arrest.
This morning q man handsomely
dressed stepped into the millinery estab-
lishment of Mrs. J. J. Mcdaniel, and
represented himself a travelling salesman
from Koch & Co. New York, and pro-
ceeded to sell Mrs. Mcdaniel a bill OF
goods, and upon completing the sale de-
manded $14 cash as q guarantee. This
created suspicion in Mrs. Mcdaniel g
mind, and she sent for her husband,
who with Deputy Sheriff Terrell, arrested
the man for swindling. He had letters
on his person addressed to several differ
ent names, and it is confidently believed
that he is not only an arch swindler, but
forger also. A lot of blank checks on
the banks at Decatur were also found on
him, and the officers think they have the
man who committed the forgery there a
few days ago and escaped the officers of
that place. He says his name is yell
vington, but when he found he was to
be arrested he tore up all the printed
matter he had from the house he claimed
to represent; and another evidence of his
guilt is that Mr.. Terrell turned him over
to Policeman Caspary to guard. and
while Mr.. Caspary had him under guard
he attempted to bride that officer by
giving him his gold watch. He refuses
to make any statement of who he is, and
will talk to no one.

HeId to Await Trial.

On February % two men registered
at the St. George hotel as h. L. Pratt
and J. Langsby, San Francisco, Cal.
They had an advertising snap, not a
bad thing, by the way, and by hustling
over the city they secured quite q num-
Der of cards from business men. They
had their work done at a we'll
known printing office. Like many
others engaged in the same business
they were not ready to put up the money
when the work was ready tor them.
While engaged in soliciting they made
the acquaintance of Neal Stark of the
Glen Lea restaurant. AS they appeared
90 be not only smart, but square men,
he, at their request, not only advanced
them S45, but gave them note to their
printer telling them to let them have
their printing, as they were all right.
They took their work out of the printing
office, made their collections and skipped
the town, leaving MIR. Stark to mourn
the loss of his $40 and to acknowledge
himself the victim of misplaced conf
dence. Had this been the first time that
Mr.. Stark had been imposed on he might
have let il pass, but having had his kind
ness and confidence abused repeatedly he
resolved to run the swindlers down and
bring them to justice. Chief Arnold was
Informed of the facts in the case, which
were also laid before the grand jury.
The result is that an Indictment was re-
turned against Hart ana Langsby, who
were yesterday arrested in Gainesville.
They will be returned to this city and
here held TO await trial.
