LONDON, Aug. 2.-Discount during the
past week was quoted at u for three
months and half for shorts. There
was no demand. Money is plentiful.
The stock exchange loan rate account is
1902, Gold continues to be in active
demand for Germany, but the influx
into the bank Of England for the week
exceeds the influx, while there are 260,-
600 pounds due from Australia. Ameri-
can railroads suffered under the New
York depression. Some tendency eS-
listed here early in the week to take
advantage OF the low values. Persistent
Wall street orders to sell kept every
thing down. Cable inquiries daily
showed that alarmist rumors here were
exaggerated in Wall street with q view
to breaking down prices. There were
appreciable symptoms yesterday Of re-
covery. Some dealings after the official
hours indicated a distinctly better feel
ing, creating u hope OF general improve
ment during the coming week. The
first serious rising movement is expect
ed in the American department, IN inn
petus from which would energize the
whole stock exchange.

Chicago, Aug. 2.--Miss Hattie Law
rainc, OF Englewood, nearly lost her
life by being run down by a Grand
Trunk switch engine at the Sixteenth
street crossing last night. Switchman
George Cusick saved her from being
ground to pieces by an act OF extra-
ordinary bravery. Miss Lawraine stood
on the track awaiting the arrival OF a
southbound train and did not see an ap.
preaching engine until several by.
ISLANDERS called to her. The engine was
SO near that in her frightened state Of
mind she did not have time to turn.
Cusick ran towards the imperiled
woman, grasped her in his arms, and,
Just in time, jumped on the pilot Of the
engine. The engine was stopped, and
as both Cusick and Miss Lawraine
stepped from the footboard unharmed
the crowd cheered the switchman's
brave net.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 9.-B. S. Ham
mond, district United States Judge, h as
handed down his decision in the now
famous case OF P. NJ. King, the Seventh
Day Adventist. King was convicted q
year ago OF Sabbath breaking by plow-
ing on the Sabbath. lie appealed to the
supreme Court and the sentence was
affirmed. Then the Adventists and
National Secular Union took up the
case. Don NJ. Dickinson was engaged MS
counsel and the case was taken to the
Federal court last November on writ
Of habeas corpus, the contention being
that the conviction was contrary to the
bill OF rights Of Tennessee and the con-
slItntion Of the United States, and that
The defendant was held prisoner by the
sheriff without due process Of law.
Judge Hammond remands the de-
iendants back to the custody OF the

cision is based not SO much on the con-
stitutionality OF Sabbath laws us upon
The fact that King was convicted under

not the province Of the Federal Court to
