A New York fnancler says; "The money
question bids fair TO become even a more po-
tential factor in the markets for stocks and
bonds than it has been of late. The bank re-
serves are plling up at q remarkably rapid rate,
and if the influx of currency continues much
longer. money will be a perfect drug in the
market. AS funds command less and less in
terest on call. 1t is thought the demand for Sc
curities will increase proportionately."

HOME SECURITIES.
A Big Weeks Business, with Nearly Every
thing Finishing at Best.

i
Stock trading the past week was the heaviest
Tor over year. Total sales on call were L022
shares. against 3,S32 the previous week. Elec-
tric led In activity, followed by Philadelphia
Gas. Dealings in the rest of the list were mod
crate.
Interest, as the sales show. was largely con-
centrated on Electric. It was worked up and
down, quite rapidly at times, between n and
10 as the extremes. It closed steady at 5. The
demand was largely from the East. The strong
close was due to the belief that the financial
affairs of the company are being Strengthened
out and that this week will bring an end to the
difficulty which has 80 long depressed this
great interest This is the opinion of brokers
who have good opportunities for knowing.
F1rmness was characteristic of the rest OF the
list. Closing prices of the most active stocks,
as compared with those of the previous Satur-
day. show gains In nearly all the natural gas
stocks, Philadelphia adding nearly three points
to its credit, Central Traction, Pleasant alley,
Luster, Switch and Signal and Airbrake.
Everything but Electric closed at about the
best prices Of the week.

The Southside Famine.

Mention has been made of the great scarcity
of houses on the Southside. A business man
residing there said yesterday: "The inquiry is
really extraordinary. II exceeds the supply by
at least three to one. This has led some of our
progressive citizens to thinking up schemes
for supplying the want. A great many houses
were built last year, but think 1891 will break
the record"

State Of the Weather.

The weather during the past week was, for
the most part, disagreeabe, but not worse than
the average for the winter season in this
climate. Outdoor operations were curtailed to
some extent but the volume of business ex-
ceeded that of the previous week. Monday
was cloudy and cold, Tuesday partly fair,
rain Wednesday and Thursday and snow
on Friday. Yesterday opened fair. but
the sun soon retired, the clouds
thickened. and when night set in there was
every appearance of snow or rain. So far this
month there have been four days that may be
classed as fair.

There seems to have taken place within the
past lew days quite a change in public opinion
as to the desirability of natural gas This is

stocks. Philadelphia company shares are in
demand at higher figures. and Manufacturers
Gas is held at %, against 16 and II three months

sentiment The old gas fields continue to give
out good supply, and new ones are beng
brought in. some Of which are prolific Two or
three wells recently tapped are rated with the
best in the Murraysville district From the
best evidence at hand it is not going too far to
say that there will be an abundance of this fuel
for domestic purposes for years to come.

Guarded Report That Probably Conceals
Part of the Truth.
BAR HABBoR. Me-, July 2. - Secretary
Blaine. although not feeling 30 we'll to-day
as yesterday, perhaps from over-e1ertion,
was seen walking on Main street. He took
his accustomed ride from 11:30 till l:3O.
He is by no means a we'll man, but there is
no reason why he should not be we'll and
strong by autumn. Many false rumors
arise from the fact that the public did rot
know how sick he was III New York. Since
his sickness there he has steadily improved.
Any drawback has been only day
or two in duration. The physician says his
patient eats we'll, sleeps we'll has no organic
disease and is rapidly gaining his usual
health. He takes no medicine whatever
except occasionally simple remedies to aid
digestion. Has no trace of paralytic affec-
tion from which he suffered for three years.
His sickness in New York was the result of
overwork, combined with la grippe.
Notwithstanding the statements of his
physician and members of his family. many
people have believed him broken down and
that he will never again engage in active
life, yet it Is evident TO every one he has
improved since his arrival here.

Captain Taylor came in several lengths

of Labor, but insisted that it would be un-
fair to give those men preference over other

loved that the rules governing the employ

Attempt to Discover Its Present Sourco
of supply.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2-The Southern
Pacific company Gent out to-day from Yuma
mn engineering party to investigate the ap-
pearance of large body of water in the
dry lake" southwest of Salton. Latest
information from Yuma is that tho waters
have not only flooded the old channel into
what Is called the 'sink," but have broken
out n little north OF the point whore they
usually overflow, that is, nearer to Yuma.
Every year there is a flow of water in
the sink. wli,sh travels along the
old channel and then gradually evap-
CRATES and subsidies az the year pro-
greesea and the waters OF the Colorado
river fall. The old San Diego and Yuma
stage line has bridge over tho old channel
and ten months in the, year no one would
know such bridge had ever been built.
There ID also n ferry there which has been
used during the annual flood. North OF tho
sink and southwest of onlton there is on
some maps Of the state long, ean-shaped
tract, marked "old dry lake." Between it
and the sink there is, however, high
ridge of clay in 'old dry lake." There is
long and twelve wide. 1t is only twenty
one inches deep however, and when the
| ground is dry ii is l311 fest below
the level Of the tracks. The theory of the
| Southern Pacltlc engineers Is that water
from the sink has percolated tho ground
under the clay ridge and so has filled the
old dry lake. There is no fear whatever,
officials say, of the water ever reaching the
tracks, because evaporation is very great,
especially under the intense heat now pre-
yailing in the desert. Tho stream running
into the old dry lake pours in at the rate of
about four and a half miles per hour and it
is to determine the source of this stream
that the engineering party has gone out.
East of the sink the tracks have the addi-
tiOnal natural protection of one of the high
est sand mounds in the United States, ex-
trnding almost parallel to the tracks for
many miles.

Several Ladies' Applaud an Attorney

An Old Federal Jurist, of Chi
cage, In a Very Testy

The Evicted Ladies Hold AN Informal
Meeting aud Admit Ignorance OF
Court Room Etiquette.

CHICAGO, July "A climax in tho suit of
Phoebe Couzins was reached this after
noon. The case had been on hearing all
day and Col. Roe, Miss Couzins' attorney
was just closing bis argument with an elo-
quent appeal ON behalf of his client, wind
ing up by exclaiming, "let Justice be done
though the heavens fall" This was too
much for her half dozen lady friends in
court, who began to applaud the attorney.
Their handclapping made great noise in
the almost empty court room. Judge
Blodgett instantly interrupted them. ex-
claiming, ''Stop it, stop it; this is no town
meeting. Mr.. Marshal, clear the court
room,' growing very red in the face. Mean
time, Deputy Marshal George Jones left his
seat and advanced toward tho ladies, and
although they were now quiet, he motioned
them toward the door, exclaimine with
moro force than eloausnce, Get out, get
out" Ex-Judge Waite, whose daughter.
d.. Lucy White, was one of the ladies pres
ont, was on his feet in an instant.
Your honor" said he, cit is easily seen
the applause was only the impulse of the
moment"
Don't matter" exclaimed Blodgett, now
1hoio"ehAN "AkoAeo, Ao1 'Hose people leavo

The ladies left looking abashed and at
once held meeting in the corridor, saying
they were not used to court room etiquette.
None, however, returned to face the angry
presiding Judge. Previous to this dramatic
episode the arguments were made. Edwin
Walker, for the board of control, argued
that Miss Couzns never held an office, but
was subject to the same rules governing
other employees. Col. Roe and ex-Judge
Waite argued in favor of Miss Couzins,
citing strong authorities in support of her
case, notably the decision of Philadelphia
court In suit of similar character, begun
during the centennial exposition, and de-
cided in favor of the deposed official. The
case was held under advisement by Judge
Elodpett.

he GOT Fifteen YEARS.
And Must Pay a Fine. Equal to the
Amount That He En-
bezzled.
John Bardsley, the Unfaithful
Stewart, Must Suffer for
His shortcomings.
Deserted by His Former Friends, Sharply
Keprimanded by the Judge-Ftf- +
teen Years of Solitude.

PHILADELPHIA, July 2.-Ex-City Treas
urer John Bardsley was sentenced this
morning by Judge Wilson to fifteen years
solitary confinement in the penitentiary
and to pay fine equal to the sum to which
he pleaded guilty. The fact that Bardsley
was to be sentenced to-day was not Rener-
orally known, and there were not more
than fifty people in the court room. The
district attorney spoke briefly. In the
course of his remarks he denied Bardsey's
contention, made in his statement to the
court week ago, that the ex-treasurer had
not Incorporated dollar. Graham
showed that by Bardsley's sworn statement
he must have at least appropriated $780,
OCO, as that amount was required to be
made good by his suretes. Although he
was not able as yet to specifically state
where the money had gone to, Graham
said Bardslev's embezzlement would amount
to between 100000 and $500,00O.
Alexander, counsel for Bardsley, re-
viewed the statements made by his client
and appealed to the court for mercy on the
ground of Bardsley's plea of guilty and his
past services to the city. Alexander said
Bardsley did not get dollar of the money
ue pun luJO Iuo hGybtOue Dhnk anu bQAG
within six mouths it would be shown who
did. Alexander vehemently declared that
his client has not stolen a dollar, but that
he had only plead guilty to tho statutory
offences of loaning, speculating with, and
| rece living interest on, public funds. Never,
with his consent, said Alexander. should
Bardsley appear before the investigation
com mittee of the councils to testify, but if
at any time the district attorney desired
any information or assistance his client
was willing to aid him. While his counsel
had been speaking Bardsley sat with bowed
head, nervously tracing imaginary lines
with the back of a pen upon a table before
| him. With the exception of his brother
in-law not one of the hundreds of friends
that Bardsley had one year ago were pres
ent when he arose to receive the sentence
of the court.
| Judge Wilson's severe words caused
Bardsley the most palpabe diStress. As
the judge said he could find no pallistion
for Bardsley's malfeasanoe, and that his
offence was toe more open to censura from
his abuse OF his official position, the
prisoner almost collapsed ana seemed about
to sink to the floor from his chair. Never
theless, before Judge Wilson had con
cluded and ordered him to arise and receive
sentence Bardsley had completely regained
his composure and received the words that
sent him to prison for fifteen years with
utter absence of emotion.
Judge Wilson was seen after passing SEN
tence on Bardsley relative to the amount of
the fine. He said it would be about $273,
$40,
