What He Has to Say About the FL
nancial Outlook.
New YORK, June 27.-Wall street is still
in an expectant mood, but the good things
hoped for fail to put in an appearance
There is little the matter with the condition;
the main trouble appears to be in the lack
of buyers; and why they are not forthoom-
ing is not altogether an agreeable question
for contemplation. 1t Is ordinarily taken
for granted that, when things are on oil
sides conceded to be cheap and yet nobody
wants them, the trouble is to be attributed
to the buyers. And in this case It is not at all
unreasonable to suppose that there may be
an unnoticed something that is preventing
people from awaiting themselves of profits
from a prospective improvement in the in
trinsio value of stocks. When il is consid-
cred that. no more than eight months ago,
Wall street was visited by cyclone that
swept away every vestage Of speculative
margins and left many operators without
the means of recovering the wherewith to
operate, it does seem rather sanguine to ex-
poet that already the places of these disabled
operators should have been refilled by new
contingent of well-equipped buyers. Ordi-
narily, the bond market is regarded as
affording a good criterion of what may
be expected in the share market
and it is sound reasoning when
we find nobody wanting unexceptio nable
mortgages yielding 4 to 5 per cent. on their
market value, to conclude that there is a
scarity of funds seeking investment; and
the reasons that make money scarce for in
vestment are likely TO make il still more so
for speculation. This obstacle to buying is
the more important when, as In the present
case, it applies not only to our own market
but also to the foreign markets that deal in
our securities. And it is further to be con-
sidered that the market is still struggling
against an extra supply of stock. which
was in part sent here pending last falls
break In the foreign markets aud in part
contributed by the large local realizing on
both investment and speculative holdings at
about the same time.
These factors are not cited as amount
ing to really ipsurmountable obstacle to
any advances in price in the comparatively
early future, but rather as largely explaining

Co1tMDus, o., May 2s.-The beginning
OF the third week Of the work Of secur-
ing a jury to sit in the trial of W. j.
Elliott, for the murder of A. @. Osborn,
was characterized by two sensational
episodes that relieved the usual .monot-
ony OF the proceedings. Bailiff schafer,
who has charge Of the jurors already
accepted, handed Judge Pugh shoe
box that he found in the Jurors sleep
ing room, on which was written in lead
pencil, 'BiII Elliott, hang till you
are dead, dead, dead" The jury
was called in, and questions brought
out confession from Juror
Behm that he wrote the inscription
Yesterday. He did it because he chad
nothing else to do" and did not
intend to influence the other jurors;
none of them saw it, as far as
he knew. He once read story
with title like that except that had
substituted Elliotts name. Judge Pugh
discharged Behm from the jury after
severe reprimand and fined him $25 for
contempt Of court. Beside Benin, the
judgedfso removed for cause jurors Coe
and Robbins, already accepted, because
O. opinions they admitted they held.
These three vacancies were filed by the
acceptance OF @. P. Aubert, Chas. Met
calf and S. P. Wright, The first two are
school teachers and the last O farmer.
The State then exploded another SEN
sation by undertaking to prove that
Juror McIlvaine had said since his ac-
ceptance that the Presecuting-Attorney
recently nollied an Indictment against
a man who had burnedhs barn, and the
case was plain against him. Now he
proposed TO get even with the prosecu-
tor. This matter was pending at adj
iournment,

ColUMBus, ONO, May 2S-The water
supply of towns along the
Ohio river is being Investigated by DR..
Probst, Secretary Of the State Board of
Health. The action is taken under a
joint resolution of the legislature in
structing the board to make inquiry
upon the best plan Of pre-
venting pollution Of water of the Ohio
river. A circular is being mailed to the
health officers of river towns asking for
Information as to the number OF houses
taking water from the public supply and
number OF persons using the same for
drinking and domestic purposes, at what
distance from the shore at low water
mark is the supply taken, what rules
are enforced to prevent pollution OF the
river above the water works, and the
distance from the source Of supply that
sewage is emptied into the river. The
question is one that is difficult to regu-
late without an interstate agreement,
since Ohio has no authority over either
Pennsylvania or West Virginia towns
that are drained into the river. II Is
probable that the investigation will re-
suit in recommendation for joint ac-
ton in the matter.

EVEN QUAKERs SPLIT.
Liberal Sentiments Cause Discord Among

Liberal Sentiments Cause Discord Among
tho Friends.
New YoRK, May 2s.-Discord in re-
ligious bodies now seems to be an cpl
demic. That even the staidold Quaker
element has caught the infection OF the
hour was shown yesterday at the ses-
sion Of the Society of Friends at the
Friends meeting house on Rutherford
square.
Quakers are seldom affected with
spirit of dissension, but when the meet
ing convened yesterday morning q def
ant tilt to the broad trimmed hats and q
firm curve to the lips OF the Friends
betokened storm.
The tempest broke when John NJ.
Hutchinson introduced a proposition to
revise the societies discipline and
eschew the use OF intoxicants in any
form, even in case OF sickness. The
broad brimmSd hats bobbed wildly up
and down, and as soon as the intorma-
tion was conveyed to the room where
the female Friends were in session there
was more trouble. Poke bonnets did
the bobbing then, and sea OF voices
protested against the project The
women were willing to forego the pleas.
ure of milk punches, mint juleps and
the like, but would not eschew that
sacred beverage, elderberry wine.
So strong was the feeling that an
afternoon session was called by the
women to consider the subject, but in
the meantime truce was declared be-
tween the contending forces and the
meeting abandoned its warlike aspect,
Abour 200 female Friends, among whom
age and beauty were about equally
divided, sat in the large hall and heard
with great satisfaction the announce
ment that special committee had been
appointed to meet next year and report
on the subject, thereby giving them at
least year of freedom and elderberry
juice.
But other proposed changes have de-
veloped two factions, the elder one
being too conservative and the young
men being liberals; therefore, when one
of the latter proposed general revision
of the entire code there was much sur
prise. In the discipline a Friend is pro-
hibited from selling prize goods, a rule
originally intended to apply to contra
band goods, and for this reason the lib
erals are in favor Of modern code. 1t
was also suggested by this younger fac.
ton that the men and women should
have joint sessions hereafter.
The gravity OF the question at issue is
keenly felt by these staid Quakers, and
their serious. countenances yesterday
indicated that they proprose to do their
dutyif it involves all the Quakers OF the
country in war.
