STOCKS QUIET AND FIRM.

A Slight General Advance Through the List.
New YORK, Feb. 2--The stock market was
again duh and narrow this morning, Northern
Pacific preferred, Missouri Pacific. St. Paul,
Union Pacific and Lake Shore monopolizing
the animation and interest in the dealings. A
firm front was presented, however, especially
in the early trading, first prices gen.
orally being from Is to e higher than
Saturdays fnal figures. while further small
gains were made over the whole list during the
first few minutes trading. The advances
however, were slight in all cases, and there
was afterward some recession from these
prices. Late in the hour the upward move
ment was resumed and still better prices were
attained. In this later advance Lake Shore
led but in no instance was there any material
gain. At IL o'clock the market was fairly
active and arm to strong at the best prices
reached.
Money is easy at 2a2}z per cent. In the stock
market higher prices generally were reached
after IL o'clock, but the improvement was
slight in al cases but those of Lake Shore and
Pacific mail. The former a. IL o'clock was X
better than at the opening and the latter was
advanced to SO, gain OF ia per cent, on the
strength Of the probability of the subsidy bill
again coming up in Congress. There was little
animation in the market and no further feature
was developed, and az II O'Clock it was quiet
and firm at the best prices OF the morning.

threat for about twenty-seven years, with one
exception, that being at the time of

READING. Pa, Feb. 2.-The puddlers Of the
Brooke Iron Company, at Birdsboro, this
county, have refused to accept the proposed
reduction of % cents, from 1915 to $3.50 per
ton. and the rolling mill is closed down this
morning. The stopping of work in the rolling
mill also necessitated the closing of the nail
factory. About $50 hands are thrown out of
employment. When the reduction was an

were cut in accordance with similar action on
part of Ellis Lessig at Pottstown.
PoTTsrowN, Pa, Feb. 2.-This morning the
Company in this city shut down, throwing 700
men out of work, the pay roll for whom
amounted to about S22 600 per month. The
company began paying OFF at noon.
This action was taken because Of a contem-
plated reduction in the wages of puddlers Of

ground that it was % cents per ton lower than

The Disturbance Not So Great as at First Re-
ported.
MEMPHIS, TENN. Feb. 2.-Mr. Robert Gallo
way, one Of the owners Of the mine at Carbon
HILL said last night in regard to the reported
troubles at the mines These outrages are the
work Of an element that knows no law that has
terrorized that part OF Walker county for the
past three years and have no regard for human
life The powers of the county officials seem
limited, but the time has com, for the state of
Alabama to crush on. thi5 class. That house
in which the negroes were sleeping was riddled
with bullets is a fact, and one was wounded
in the arm. None were killed. Yesterday Jas.

But this is not the first time in the last few
nights such things have happened IN this county.
and the guilty parties are supposed to be
well known. This last case of lawlessness
while as unjustifable in every way as could he
was brought about by unfortunate circum-
stances. On Tuesday a strange white man was
killed near Eldridge, six miles from Carbon
Hill. by a negro. On Wednesday a negro, EN-
ployed to hunt up some negroes who formerly
worked at the mines, picked up some strange
negroes and took them to Galloway. Ala. On
the way over they got drink or two and the
leader talked all the way to excite the crowd,
who took the law in their owr hands as stated
the house was raided. They evidently did not
intend to kill any other negroes, Gs there was
thirty or forty others quartered within 800
yards of this place who were not touched.
NEw YORK, Feb. "A dispatch from Bir-
minghan, Ala. denies the reported killing OF
four negroes at Carbon Hill. Ala. The telegraph
operator at Carbon Hill wires: There is no
sign of q race war, and the only foundation for
the report is the killing of one negro"
MoNTGoMENY, Ala. Feb. Authorization re-
cefyed here is to the effect that the race trou-
bles at Carbon Hill amount to nothing; that the
marshal had some trouble in arresting several
parties and called on Gov. Jones for troops.
Two companies from Birmingham went to the
Galloway mines, but their services were not
needed

LOOKING FOR OwENBY.
ne Did Not Arrive When Expected-Repre-
sentative Taylor's Testimony


sentative Taylor's Testimony.
The whereabouts of Mr.. Owenbv of silver
pool fame has been matter Of considerable in
terest to number Of people today.
The idea was that he would reach
the city from Chicago at 10 O'Clock
this morning and be brought before the bar
of the House on its meeting at O'Clock, and
afterward be taken before the committee
where an endeavor would be made to obtain
some little testimony from the gentleman OF
Will O. the wisp fame.
Inquiry this morning failed to develop the abid.
ing place OF Nc. owenby. Adeputy sergeant-at.
arms OF the House supposedly had Owenby in
charge. Sergeant-at-arms Holmes was no,
to be found at the Capitol or at his home. His
deputy, Mr.: Cavanaugh. was diplomatic in the
extreme. What little he did know he though,
would find better abiding place in
his own brain than in the reporters q.
Mr.. Dingley and Mr.. Dockery knew nothing
authoritatlvely as to Owenbys arrival They
had heard he had arrived and rather expected
that he would be on hand at 2 o'clock.
The flrst real information of Mr. Owenby
came about O'Clock with the arrival OF
Sergeant-at-Arms Holmes. Mr.. Holmes stated
that Mr.. Owenby would reach the city at 8
o. clock.
1t was the intention to have Mr.. Owenby
before the House and committee today but his
late arrival may change this plan and the mat
ter may be postponed until tomorrow.
The investigating committe met today
according to adjournment at 2 O'Clock,
Mr.. Taylor taking the stand He had
testified tina: he had bought on mar.
gin on July IL, 1880, 10000 ounces
OF silver at 1852, and on the 18th of August.
1880, had sold the same at 1121S. He wished il
to be put on record that the purchase was made
three days after the silver bill became a law.
HAD not bought any silver since.

The Sioux Visitors Get Their Pictures Taken

This afternoon they had their pictures taken.
both individually and group. The Indians
have been the recipients of some hospitality
since they have been here and especially from
the saloon keepers. Special Agent Lewis,
who is in charge of the party, how
ever, objects to these attentions on the
part Of the saloon keepers and today he called
in the district attorney and invoked the aid of
that official to prosecute all who are detected
selling liquor to Indians. Agent Lewis states
that he is going to break up the practice il pos
sible. None of the Indians have 30 far had too
much liquor, but Agent Lewis doesn't propose
to take any chances. He viii stop drinking al
together il he can.
The Indians attended the Sabbath afternoon
service at the Deaf and Dumb Institution at
Kendall Green. As the sign language was used
in the exercises the Indians had no difficulty in
understanding what was said. They were able
to carry on conversation with the Indians
The sign language is universally understood by
all primitive people.

dOned Army Posts in the Southwest.
BosroS, Feb. 2.-Dr. William Thornton
Parker Of Salem, who has been United States
army surgeon at various posts in the Indian
country and has devoted much study to the
science of the climatology in its relation to
lung diseases, has written President Harrison
in advocacy Of a scheme to utilize the aban-
doned army posts in Colorado and New Mexico
as national sanitariums He declares as the
result Of extended observations that nowhere
else in the world can consumption be so sue
cessfull7 combated and overcome as in north
ern and central New Mexico and southeastern
Colorado. Other governments have, the doctor
points ont, established national hospitals for
the cure of consumption. and he also sets forth
the admirable construction Of these abandoned
posts as entirely suited for the purpose which
he has in mind
