An Error In Punctuation sestIss Two
Million Dollars.

There is scarcely v @ a session
of CuuereSs in which bills are not
found IL contain mistakes IN ar

Philadelphia Press. The only won
der i that many more do not oc-
cur, when it Is remembered that
all such work nea adjournment is

circumstances. All is haste, noise
and confusion. Rest or sleepi~ un.

days AMI nights in succession. The
clerks become nervous, wearied.
and some times wholly exhausted
by the intense strain and prolonged
physical labor.
Probably The smallest, and ap-
parently most insignificant, of all
such blunders was The most ex-
pensive one OF The kind ever made.
1t occurred in a tariff bill more
than tweriy years ago. There was
a section "enumeratlng what articles
should be admitted free of duty.
Among The many articles specified
were "all foreign frult.plants,' etc,
meaning plants imported for trans
planting, propagation, or expert
ment. The enrolling clerk, in copy
ing The bill, accidentally changed
the hvphen in the compound word
Triumphant" to a comma, making
it read "all foreign fruit, planls,n
etc. The consequence was that
for a ~year-until Congress could
remedy the blunder-all The or
anges, lemons, bananas, grapes and
other foreign fruit were admitted
free of duty. This little mistake,
with The mos: careful man might
ersily have made, cost the Govern
meut about 100000

Met a Shocking Death j..

John Bressenham, a tramp railroad man,
was found lying dead about o'clock yes
terday morning on the tracks of the Derby
railroad about half way between the engine
house and State street. The body lay di-
agonally across the rails with the extremi-
ties badly mangled and severe cut in the
head. Death must have been instantane-
GUS.
Just which train killed the man will
probably never be known. He was last
seen at James Plunkett's saloon on Custom
House square about 10 o'clock. 1t is stated
that he had been drinking some, but was
not intoxicated. His drunkenness, how
ever, seems the only reasonable hypothe-
sis by which to account for his udden
death by accident.
The Botsford freight is due in this city
at 2:25 a. M, and it is thought that this
train might have killed him. Between 2
and a. m: switching gang goes down on
the Canal dock to work, and one of these
trains might have struck Bressenham.
The man was known to his associates as
John Bressenham, but this is thought to
be nickname for his real designation,
Breslin. He has a sister residing in Wa
terbury. He had lived in this city about
nine years, was formerly employed as
brakeman by the Consolidated road, but
for two years back had had no regular
employment. He slept at night in disused
cars and open coalbins. 1t is believed by
some that he had gone to sleep on the
track when struck by train.

The Tone of the Market Weak, with

mated-Stocks opened Weak. Fol-
lowed by a Downward Movement,
But Closed Fairly Active.
NEW YORK, July 80.
Railroad bonds were a little more animated, the
sales reaching S675, OOO but while the tone was
weak in close sympathy with shares. the only
material movement among the active bonds was
the decline in the Oregon Improvement fives,
which touched IS at the close, loss Of two per
cent.
Stocks opened weak and declines followed.
Chicago Gas and Union Pacific led the downward
movement, and these were Joined later by st.
Paul and Burlington, while many of the less
prominent stocks scored marked losses without
heavy transactions In this class Evansville and
Terre Haute, c. 9. G. and st. Louis and some
others were conspicuous The downward move
ment was interrupted from time to time by slight
rallies but their continuance was of short dura-
ton, and still lower figures were always reached
until the last hour. The rally which took place
then, however failed to reach all portions Of the
list, and the market finally closed fairly active
and weak at or near the lowest prices Of the day.
