EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The stock market todsy
displayed firm and strong tone, which but for
the influence of Union Pacific might have been
the cause of material improvement in prices.
The market during the last few days has shown
an unmistakab disposition TO break away from
Union Pacific, and assertions are not wanting
that the attack upon Union Pacific was entirely
FOR the purpose of picking up stocks in other
directions. Union Pacific today was still the
most conspicuous figure i'll the market, but the
transactions were on a much smaller scale than
during the last few days. Atchison, st. Paul
and Rock Island were features of the trading,
but the remainder OF the market showed no ami
nation, and finally closed quiet and firm, gener-
ally at small fractions better than last nights
figures.

Summary Execution.

A despotic government has it's adj
vantages, and among them is the easy
collection ola debt, provided the rul-
er is friendly to the CREDITOR. Ahmed
Vefyk Pasha, Turkish statesman,
was once Governor OF Broussa, and
this story is told Of his paternal rule:
A rich man had judgment pronounc-
ed against him in favor OF a poorman
The latter, owing to the brides OF the
rich man, could not obtain execution,
and complained to Ahmed Vefyk. Aft
er hearing the case, Ahmed saw the
debtor riding up to the Konak upon
beautiful Arab horse. He ordered
the creditor to sit down, called a mes
senger, and whispered to him.
The debtor entered the room, and
was surprised at the exceptional cor
diality OF the pasha, who invited him
to sit down, to take coffee, and to
converse. Presently, when he rose to
leave, the pasha pressed him to re-
main, and kept him more than an
hour, until, indeed, a messenger enter
ed the room and placed a small bag
on the table before Ahmed.
When the debtor next rose, Ahmed
took the bag from the table and gave
it to him, stating, "This is yours. You
owed so much to this poor man, l
have sold your horse, paid him, and
this is the balance belonging to YOU

Taking Fish by Electricity.

'There is no longer any need of the
fairy tales told by amateur fishermen''
said an electrical expert last night.
wizard Edison has turned out a
fish hook, Or rather hook for all sorts
of fish, from tho cod down to the min
now, that will stun the fish the mo-
ment it touches the hook. If man
gets a bite at all he is sure of his fish,
The trouble with the amateur fish
erman is that he cannot land his cap
ture, but with this new electrical de-
vice he will have no trouble in catch
ing all the fish he wants il they are
biting. New York Telegram.
