CLOSING PRICES OF PHILADELPHIA STOCKS.
WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Thursday, June 4-p. M
An abrupt fall in Rock Island stock, which
naturally followed the unexpected reduction IN
the dividend, was resisted stoutly by the general
market. 1t is one of the phenomena of recent
speculation that stock like Rock Island could
break per cent without exerting larger in
fuence. II is certainly not criticism of the
company if lit is suggested that there is medium
course between the payment of unearned div-
dends and the scaling of dividends to the earnings
Of a particular period Sudden changes of policy
in respect TO dividends are apt to be msconstrued
in Wall Street There have been occasions when
the conservative action of the Rock Island Com
many might be regarded with speculative sus-
piciOn There is not the slightest ground Tor
Surprising that the Rock Island directors were
benefited by the decline In the stoCk le d ane
many reasons for thinking that, If 1T had not
teen for this unfortunate announcement, the
course of prices would have been toward higher
level
discount and the buying of stocks apparently for
foreign account were evidences OF more settled
condition of affairs abroad, but in spite of these
favorable circumstances further engagements of
gold for export were made The reduction III the
bank rate and in the price OF gold ought TO check
the export of specie, but they nave noI dohe 50
and already large engagements for saturday s
ships have been made 1t can hardly be possible
that the Bank of England would reduce IT'S DIS
count rate for the sake OF erect on the Anleri
necessary TO mask their purchases Of gold 1t may
we'll be doubted if the Bank of England would
not reduce it's discount rate for its speculative
influence.
The market was more active, but the promi-
nence of Rock Island considered only tempo
rary. st. Paul was second, but its strength was
nearly as conspicuous the weakness of the
leading stock The bulk of the business was in
a few stocks and the final changes, except IN
the leading stocks, were small and pretty evenly
divided The whole course of the market proved
that stocks are held in few hands and that any
unexpected event will he resisted. The closing
was strong and confident.
THE DAY IN THE BOND MARKET.
Tho only sale of Government bonds was $500
registered 4 per cents at 10 IL. The market
was strong and bids for some of the currency
issues were raised from l-2 TO ! 1-2 per cent,

was talk Of lynching for a few moments
On the Italians person were found a small
silver watch and chain, brass foot rule
brass key and pocketknife, all taken
from the clothing * some poor victims
The prisoner was Much frightened and
begged for mercy in Italian.
Cause Of the Disaster.
It has been learned there was no boiler
or steam reservoir to burst in the whole
range Of buildings. The motive power
was supplied by the New York Steam
Power company, and IL has been proved
that no pipe in the building could have
burst prior to the collapse. Although il
has been stated that the owners OF the
Taylor block have positively denied that
the buildings have been for years pro
nounced unsafe by the city authorities, il
is a notorious fact that the residents OF
the locality have always looked upon the
houses as dangerous for the class OF busi-
ness carried on in the upper stories.
Very Faulty Construction.
II is the opinion OF every expert that has
made o careful examination Of the bricks
and standing remnants OF the structure
that the building shows manifest and
numerous indications OF very faulty con
struction. The superficial analysis OF the
mortar shows too great preponderance
OF sand and not enough lime The per
fectly clean appearance OF the standing
walls points also 70 inferior mortar and a
lack OF its use ia the most essential parts
Of the structure.
Tons ON the Upper Floors.
In tho top floor rooms OF 20 and 70 Park
place Messrs. Liebler & Mass had grad
ually collected seventeen huge Hoe and
photographic presses, which at a fair esti.
mate must have weighed at least seventy.
five tons, exclusive OF the shafting, wheels,
belts and pulleys that ran them. In one
pressroom alone il is known that the firm
ran eight Of the largest make OF Hoe
presses, and that in the same room were
stored on the street end large quantities Of
heavy paper, and il is not overestimating
the total weight on the top floor Of 20 to
calculate that It had to sustain an average
avoirdupois OF fifty tons.
In the rush Of business all the presses
were often running night and day at the
same time. The frightful racking, jarring
and shaking to the whole building given
by the continual movement of such a tire
mendous mass Of vibrating machinery
would loosen the ends of the timbers in
the walls and cause the beams to get more
and more play IN their sockets each time
the presses worked.
The constant chatting and rubbing Of the
ends Of the beams must have worn away
much Of the wood, so that the ends Of the
beams gradually became wedge shaped
and in a condition more readily to slip out
of their resting places when any sudden
weight or strain caused them to buckle in
the center.
Such was the condition of the press
rooms Of Liebler s. Mass on the fatal
Saturday morning.
How It Happened
Ignorant of the fearful danger that men.
aced them, the aoomed men handled the
huge packages of paper that were being
delivered that morning from the elevator,
as the floor was on a foundation of ada
mant. Probably a heavy package was
thrown with extra weight on tbs already

READING, Pa, Aug 2A-Great damage
has been doae IN this vicinity by high
water The Schuylkill hos been nine feet
above low water mark. but is receding.
At the Bowman evangelical camp meet
inm near Mohrsyille, lightning played
havoc with the trees several OF them being
felled dangerously near 10 tents. Waters
rushed through the grounds in streams,
carrying away bedding and furniture. The
washouts on the Reading railroad near
Warnersville were temporarily repaired,
but no trains had been allowed to cross
the culyerts up TO a late hour last night
The washout where the freight train
plunged into the culvert is 700 feet long
very deep.
In this city at least quarter OF the
streets were under water, large number
Of cellars being filed, and in many houses
the water reaching to the first floor. Sew
ers were choked up, forcing the water back
