THE CAR IS DEAD"
TIE STOCK MARKET IN EUROPE
AFFECTED.
A Practical Joke on Ex-speakor Reed
Tint Disturbed New York's Stock
Markct-Wnii, Broad ani
New Streets In FURRY.

New YoGx, March with the
minute hand on the moon-iuced clock,
high on the walls of tho Stock Ex-
change, travelling fast tow ard noon to-
dar. there was a great wagging OF
heads among regiment of brokers
huddlcd In front of Chairman Mitchelrs
rostrum. Mr.. Mitchell looked down,
expecting at any moment an explosion
Of some kind.
With the minute hand within q line
of tho hour hand. young Tim Williams
slipped out OF the crowd and darted
upon the rostrum. Mt the same time
reaching out for the ehairman's pom
derous gavel. Mr.. Mitchell was too
quick for him. ClutchinE il tightly
and raising II menaclngly, as though
Mi Williams and his myrmldons con-
templated an assault upon the dignity
OF the exchange, Mr.. Mitchell glared
at the intruder.
Folled In his attempt to secnre the
gavei, Mr. Williams raised his right
arm, and with his eye on the clock,
whiteu until 1t was exactly IL m. and
three efhc Gar 3 deddn'
" rolled in chorus in stento.ian
tones. the answering shout OF those in
front of The rostrtm: The Car Is
dead; down with the czar." There
was a thIee-times-three to this and a
tiger. and Mr. Williams and his cohorts
bowling solemnly TO The chairman, dis
pcrsed. Bat in groups they contin-
ued tho cry until. the close of Change.
IL WAS their tribute TO the dethrone-
ment Of Speaker Reed.
Curiously enough, though, tho OK
plot had most eXasperating inllu-
oncc on tho share llst, All hands heard
the thunderou5 shout: ''Ihe Gar is
dead" No name had been mentioned,
and certaln anxious souls Immediately
accepted it 10 mean that the Gar OF
Russiu was dead This icnOrt was
quickly heard in all the offices in Wall.
brOnd and New streets, and Broadway
ami uneasiness prevailed.
The death OF the Car of Russia, il
vas Insisted, would unsettle European
financial circles. Brokers and their
customers shot orders into the Ex-
change to sell stocks. There was a
slump in several quarters and Il weak
closing
The report of the death OF the Car
OF Russia reached London by the way
OF New York, and back came unsteady
news. IL was not until the very close
of ile day that all Wall street knew
that tho stentorian announcement of
Mi. Williams and his battalion referred
to ex-Speaker Reed.
When winters wind, with mad turmoil,
SWEEP over bills and plains,
'sTis then you need Salvation Oil

Lane tsTER, Pa. March 4. -phares A.
Stroll, u young cigar maker, of Akron,
charged with the murder of Annie
Met loud, was placed on trial to-day.
Stroll and the girl both worked in
Christian Sewalley's cigar mnnufactory
at Akron, and were OH intimate terms.
On January l2th Stroll was seen giving
Annie small package. That evening
she took dose OF white powder and
died shortly afterwards. Tho autopsy
showed that she died of strychuia poi
sonlng. Tine prosecution proposes 10
show that Shohl purchased strychnine
in Ephtaia that day, and the theory OF
the Commonwealth is that The girl re-
quested Strohl to procure her some
remedy TO remove the evidences of her
shame. and that he procured the poison
instead and gave il to her with the In
tention Of making il appear that she
had taken her own life.

so said Socrates; so haze reiterated
many other philosophers in regard to
humanity. As health is the vital
principle of bliss, it Is not only an I'M
perative duty, but welcome privi-
lego for every man and woman to
maintain it in the highest degree. One
of the most insidious and dangerous
omissions iii this connection is TO ne
glect a tendency to constipation. The
clogging up Of the system with eflete
matter predisposes to disease, de-
presses the spirits, and creates gloom
and despondency. The occasional
use OF Dr. Fierce'S Pleasant Pellets
will prevent IA constipated habit, clear
the brain, sweeten the temper, (and
we might add. Tho breath alsO) and
open vista of happy activity possible
only to tho well regulated mind and
body

Jeremiah Harrigan's five years
rsprieve will expire on Friday, March
27th and on that day Sheriff simmons
will lie compelled TO hang him unless
he is granted another respite by gov
ernor Reynolds. No doubt steps will
DO taken to secure another reprlcve.
Harligan is about 90 years old, one
OF the oldest prisoners in the county
jail. Eleven years of that time he has
spent within its walls, and most OF the
time within little cell. He has been
In jail longer than nny other prisoner,
and almost as long as any prisoner has
ever been. Five sherlfis have had con.
troll of the prison during his incarcera-
ton and all of these bear testimony TO
his good character. Three times has
the man been placed under u death
watch, and twice was. the gallows S
erected for his execution in the Jail
yard. A strong petition was pre-
sented to Governor Stockley the last
time, and it was earnestly hoped that
he man would be given an uncondi-
tional pardon, but instead he was
given five years respite.
Much sympathy has been expressed
for Harrigan. That lie did murder
Dennis Shea Is not denied, but that he
had the strongest pruyocation, by the
invasion of his home and the affections
Of his wife alicnated also is not de-
MED. Through this sympathy Harri-
g99 hss been Lhrss tlYes reprleyedl
ana u ops no. ses.n reis9haele that
he should nov, After eleven years in
generation, suffer the extreme pelialty
OF the law. Sheriff Simmon5 says Har-
riSan has teca the most obedient and
respectful prisoner In the jail, and that
he hes over given any OF the officials
Il moments trouble. He seems content
with the prison fare all the time, and
never complains IL, by mistake, he is
not allowed his hour for exercise in
the corridor every day.

The Inauguration by The Baltimore
| and Ohio, Philadelphia and Reading
and Jersey Central Railways OF the
famous Royal Blue Line" between
New York and Washington VIA Phila-
delphia aud Baltimore, was an event
OF the greatest importance to travel
ers, and 1t is very gratifying to chroni-
Gle the great success and popularity it
has attained. II deserves il fully, for
it is emphatically the best line ever
run between the two cities.
We say the best from personal expe-
rience, for we have travelled over 1t and
its competing lines, and when we say
that over the "B. & o. route the high
est realization and perfection OF rail-
way travel is attained, we are but Civ
ing IL just praise. Its trains are the
safest, the finest and fastest in America
and are run ION time" vestibuled
limited express, equipped SO complete
ly and luxuriously as to leave nothing
10 be desired, Is run between New
York and Washington in each direc-
tion in exactly five hours, which Is not
only the fastest time ever made be-
tween the two cities. but is the fastest
train in America, and the splendid
road bed OF the route permits the
speed with perfect safety.
One can realize what u fast train this
is when it Is considered' that the dis.
tance from Jersey City TO Washington
Is almost exactly the same as from
Boston to New York, whereas six hours
is the fastest time ever made between
the Inter cities The Royal Blue
Lines train from Jersey City to Wash
ington performs the Journey in four
hanrs and f2rty eight minutes, Not
withstandIng .he slpellog s1nipInent
aud tain service OF tnls iiiis, no extra
Fares afs charged on any OF its truiiiz.
Palptial day coaches accompany all it
trains, open TO The public at the regu-
lar faro, and only the usual chare are
made for Accommodations In sleeping
and paFlor cars.
There are six Royal Blue L,nen
trains each way, daily, between New
York and Washington. All OF them are
composed exclusively OF Yes ibuled
cars, protected by Puliman's anti-tele- |
scoping device, heated by steam and
lighted by the Pintsch gas system.
We heartily recommend this rou to !
all our readers and advise them to |
take il and none other, for it Is not |
only the best as regards speed luxury |
and equipment, but 1t exacts no extra |
charge on any OF its trains. Christian |
