LATE SOCIETY NOTES.

Charles Mason Clark, of Sligo, Md. ,and Miss
Kate G. Lamb, of Albany, N. Y, were mar
ried at st. Paul's Church on Thursday, at 5
o'clock in the afternoon. The bride is a very
talented musician, who has for the past year
been the organist at st. Paul's. She is
bright, witty, and altogether charming woman,
and her many friends wish her JOY and pros
perity in her new life The groom Is the son
of Mr.. o. H. P. Clark, of Sligo, Md. The
family are well known aud very popular In
the District and the adjoining counties. The
marriage rite was performed by Father Machin,
pastor of st. Paul's, formerly pastor of Carroll
Chapel at Forest Glen of which congregation
the groom was member since boyhood. Mr..
and Mrs. Clark left Immediately after the
ceremony for Old Point Comfort. They will
reside for the present with the parents of the
groom at Sligo.
Mrs. A. j. Halford seemed much better on
her return to the city a few days ago, but she
has since had relapse and the Presidents
private secretary now says 1t is very doubtful
whether she will be able to accompany the
Presidential party on the proposed trip.

BATH IRON AND TINfRER co.

A successful Enterprise in Which Wash
ington People are Investing.
The success of this enterprise has been very
great. So many new towns have sprung up
throughout the country, and so many flaming
advertisements have appeared soliciting sub
scrptions to various enterprises, thatinyestors
have become skeptical and find 1t difficult to
determine just where to place their money. 1t
is not often that they have an opportunity, how
ever, of investing in an enterprise that seems
to possess 30 much real merit as this The
company owns about forty thousand acres of
mineral and timber lands abounding In the
best quality of brown hemmatite iron ore and
oak and pine timber of every description,
while they claim to have quarries of the best
quality OF variegated marble. On the prop-
erty are some beautiful locations for towns.
and 1t ts the intention of the company to lay
OFF and subdivide at an early date. 1t is the
intention of the company to establish on Wal
ker Mountain one of the finest summer re-
sorts In America. A plateau extending nearly
nine miles and as level as a floor will be sub
divided, and to the holder of fifty shares of
stock one of these villa sites will be given AS
stone from the company's quarries and lum-
Der from saw-mllls OF the company's property
can be had at small cost, the expense of con-
structing cottages will be very reasonable. No
better investment has ever been offered our
people, and an inquiry made at the Office of
the company, 617 Fourteenth street northwest,
showed that Washington people are investing
literally.

The Mohican has arrived at San Francisco,
having sailed from Honolulu March 23. She
will be docked and painted and will probably
return to the Hawaiian Islands with another
commander and some changes In the crew.
1t may be finally decided to build torpedo
boat No. 2 in one of the navy yards on ac-
count of the snarl the Department has gotten
into over the bids received In answer to its
advertisement about three months ago. The
Secretary has been unable to determine which

will probably reject both bids There is talk

now of increasing the size OF the gun from 112
to l25 tons, and having her built In the Nor
folk Navy Yard. Bids would probably be
asked again. but it is not believed that any
contractor would bid within the limit of the
appropriation for larger boat and falling to
get any such bid the Secretary could under
the law have the work done In a navy yard.
Naval Constructor Bowles, who is in charge
OF construction work in the Norfolk yard, is
understood to be anxious to build torpedo
boat, and there is every reason to believe it
could be done as well in the navy yard as by
contract.
Lieut.. Commander A. j. Iverson has been
detached from the command of the Fortune,
and ordered to command the Fern; Ensign
Walter j. Sears, from the Vesuvius, and

The Galena arrived at Boston Monday, also
the lighter Myrtle, having on board the boats,
guns, and ammunition taken from the Galena.
The Galena presented battered appearance.
Her mainmast was gone, her sides patched,
and she was badly nogged. 1t is thought that
che can be repaired Inside of the 20 per cent
limit, however.
The Navy Department has ordered the Ga
lena to be placed in dry-dock at Portsmouth,
N. H., where survey will be made to ascer-
tain whether she can be repaired within the
legal limit OF 20 per cent. of the original cost.
There is little hope of saving her, for her bot
tom is believed to have been badly broken by
founding on the rocks at Gay Head.
Naval Constructor Frank L. Fernald has
been detached from temporary duty at the
Navy Yard, Mare Island, and ordered to duty
at the New York Navy Yard Naval Con-
structor William L. Mintonye, detached from

structor Joseph Feaster, detached from duty
at the Mare Island Navy Yard, and placed on

THE WEEK IN WALL STREET.
The Market Buoyant and Strong Until
Thursday.

The Market BuOyant and Strong Until
Thursday.
In spite of somewhat lower prices from
London and tendency to sell for foreign
account, the week opened with very buoy
ant feeling and continued strong with scarcely
a setback until Thursday A feature of the
trading has been the advance in 'sgrangern
stocks on the improved crop prospects and
covering by shorts. Chicago, Burlington, and
Quincy and Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific
leading the procession, with advances of eight
and five points respectively. There were also
further gains in the prices of the various in
dustrial stocks which have lately become such
speculative fayorites, notably in Sugar Re
fineries certificates and Chicago Gas Trust.
the latter advancing sharply on Wednesday
on the election OF Mr.. Washburn as mayor Of
Chicago, as 1t was argued that he would treat
the corporation with a more friendly hand
than his predecessor. On Wednesday the
markets abroad were somewhat disturbed.
The financial position of Germany was said to
be shaky, the political situation was strained,
and It was rumored that the preparations for
hostile action by France and Russia against
Germany were reaching a definite shape.
London sold a good deal of stock on
these rumoTs, but this market took them all
and closed with boom. Europe has been q
steady seller of stocks for months. When
ever any bad news came IN the market abroad
the Argentine Republic, or any
local matter, the London traders sold some

Americans. On Thursday they experienced
a complete change, and bought about 35, 200
shares OF different stocks, but mostly st.
Paul and Union Pacific. This big buying
added to the bullish feeling, and speculation
was wild all morning. A reaction, however
set In in the afternoon and prices were some
what lower on Friday. 1t is evident that the
cooler heads, those who saw this movement
coming and were waiting for just such
market to unload, let go as many stocks as
the market would take. There were two ex-
ceptions to strength-Northern Pacific and
Chicago Gas. The former declined on the
poor prospect of earnings and on the dis
astrously large increase in bonded indebted
ness. The latter lost its gains of the early
part of the week on the report that the pres
ent mayor of Chicago was reelected. The
new arrangement with the Fidelity Trust
Company, which insures the trust legal
standing and one that should be unassailable
in the courts, should, however, work to its
benefit, and its sale cannot be advised.
The engagement of about $4,000, 900 gold
for shipment Saturday, added to the fact that
Europeans seem to be in no condition to take
our stocks, gave the market a setback. A
combined effort was made Friday afternoon
to rally the market, and traders bid up the
prices about per cent, but the advance was
lost in the last hour and the market continued
weak on Saturday.
The bank statement shows decrease In re-
serve of S777,O25, which does not include
and Saturday. Nearly f600,O00 in gold were
withdrawn from the Bank of England on Fri
day and Saturday for shipment to Germany,
and 1t is expected tina. the bank will raise its
rate next week. Although everything looks
favorable for higher prices in the future, we
think the market has been overpurchased this
week and that reaction is about due.
In the continued large exports of domestic
products from the United States we have
another illustration of the favorable results
arising from the wide extent of our country
and its yarity of climate and products The
year 1890 was monotonous for comparative
failure of the cereal crops, corn and oats es-
pecially showing heavy decrease. AS the
cotton crop of 1889 was a very large one, it
was supposed that the exports this half year
(January-June, 1891 would fall much below
those of the same period in 1890, but for the
two months already reported (January and
February the actual value of merchandise
exports was S157, 200 900, against S145, ,OOO, 900
In 1890, as cotton figured for about S65, ,000, 600
against $50, 900, 900 for the same two months
last year. This had an important bearing on
our specie exports, for If cotton had been the
same as or less than last year, and gold to
that extent had been shipped, we should have
heard much talk about it, Next season If
our Southern crops should be smaller the
Northern cereals might come in to fill the
gap, and thus Minnesota and Dakota wheat
would supply the deficiency in Alabama and
Mississippi cotton. Our breadth of territory
furnishes a safety balance both for the rail-
roads and for the equilibrium of commerce.

THE ALLIANCE DEFEATED.
Radical Railroad Legislation Turned
Down in Minnesota

Radical Railroad Legislation Turned
Down in Minnesota.
ST. PAUL, MINI, April 11.--In the House
this morning the Hompe railroad bill, already
passed by the Senate, was considered in COM
mittee of the whole and recommended for
passage. Senator Hompe is an Alliance mem
ber, but the representatives of that party in
the House had, until to-day, refused to have
aught to do with his bill, considering it not
sufficiently radical. The House bill Currier's)
was a decidedly radical measure, and was de-
feated by the combined Republicans and
Democrats of the House. The favorable ac-
tion on the Hompe bill to-day was unanimous
and the result will be the present settlement
Of radical railroad legislation in Minnesota.
The present railroad law is untouched by the
Hompe bill, its chief new provision being TO
allow appeals and thus bring the present law
within the limits of recent decisions OF the
Supreme Court.
