NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

INV YORK, October 22.-The stock mar
ket was much less active to-day than
yesterday. Tho very promising upward move
ment received a check, and the result Of the
days trnding is TO leave most stocks fractionaily
lower than last evening. The market opened
down small fractions, the result Of selling orders
OF some magnitude from the other side OF the
ocean, and this so surprised the local operators
that no effort was made to lift prices In the
face OF limited selling By the foreigners. The
features OF the day was still the unusual
strength the Vanderbilt stock, and Canada
Southern scored gain Of per cent. at one
tine.

Ottawa express while walking along the
track Of the Canada Atlantic railroad near
the village OF St Scholastique. The body
was horribly maugled and thrown a great
distance, portions OF il lodging in the

Amid funny stories and "bobtails" the

Charles Heyob, clerk; William Yochum,

declared their inability to agree as to the

don. in Olympia hall. Gaudy streamers
decorated the mammoth glass roof, and
gorgeous japanese a n and umbrellas
adorned the galleries. Itinerant vendors
sold tea. coffee. sandwiches and liquor to
the multitude, while other vendors hawked
portraits Of the dead woman, copies OF her
writings and Of The War Cry. A brass
band Of COO pieces furnished the music.
All this noise and trade stopped when the
actual ceremonies began.
After several prayers aud hymns the fu-
neral procession entered the building. It
consisted Of men aud women bearing the
Rags OF all nations where the Salvation
Army has a foothold. The pallbearers
were dressed in red jerseys. Few words
were spoken. The hall is too vast for prop

huge signs worked by pulleys told the null
titude b tunes to sing. and so the serv-
ices passed of without u break or note Of
discOrd.
