SOME SHARP ADVANCES.
More Than Usual Activity in the Stock
Market.

More Than Usual Activity in the Stock
Market.
New YORK, Aug. 15.-The stock market
today was more active than usual Of late
while the tone was stronger than for some
time, resulting in material gains over the en-
tire active list and some sharp advances in
a few of the leading shares. The bulls were
more courageous and aggressive than for
many weeks and the Western operators as
we'll as London were buyers of their favorites
the former being specially courageous in view
of the very flattering crop conditions, which
are now receiving their due attention from all
classes of operators. The market opened with
small fractional gains over last nights figures
extending to five eights per cent. and an up
ward movement was inaugurated, which, with
but slight interruption, lasted throughout the
session. Missouri Pacific early took the lead
in the advance, but later the Changers and
Union Pacific came to the front again, and
specially sharp gains were made in the last
half hour. The bank statement when issued
showed only slight loss In reserves and cash
held while deposits were increased materially.
The effect of the demands to move the crops
were not so apparent as expected, and there
was a rush to buy on the strength Of the state
ment, which moved up all the leaders with
more animation, and Union Pacific especially
scored handsome gain The upward move
ment also extended to a large number of spe.
cialties and the market broadened out ma
terially, some Instances showing advances of
over 2 per cent. The market finally closed
active and strong at the highest prices of the
day. The entire list, with a few unimportant
exceptions is higher. r. r. bonds were
reaching 100000 for the two hours while
well distributed throughout the list AL
most everything is higher, though the gen
erality of advances are for fractional amounts.

NEWTON, N. j., Aug. l5.-Willsm P.
Elet, son of II. M. Ellet, who lives near
Branchville, Sussex County, was bitten by
rattlesnake some days ago and to all ap-
pearances died, and the preparations for his
funeral were made. The doctors concluded
to make post mortem and cut open sore
that had formed under his arm. To their
great surprise the young man began to show
unmistakable signs of life and restoratives
being applied, he came to- and is now getting
well. The case has attracted widespread at
tention, and hundreds of people have focked
to see the person who had such narrow
escape from being buried alive.
Elet, who lives in Philadelphia and was
visiting his father on the latter's farm, re-
.ceived the rattlesnake bite while blackberry
ing in the latter part of July. A little boy
who was picking berries came across two
large rattlesnakes and called to Mr. Ellet to
kill them. One of the snakes took refuge
under stone. The lad pointed out the
wrong stone, and Mr.. Ellet picked up the
stone under which the snake was hidden. The
reptile buried its fapgs in the middle finger OF
Mr.. Ellet's hand. He paid no attention to
the bite until he had killed the snake, which
was nearly five feet long. He then started
for home, sucking the wound on the way
When he reached his fathers house he could
get no whiskey or other antidotes, and when
physician arrived an hour later, his arm was
terribly swollen to the shoulder and much
discolored. Across his right side and the
middle of the back the skin was very black
end his stomach had by this time been so
affected by the poison that it would not retain
any medicine. Mr.. Ellet's agony during the
next twenty-four hours was beyond descrip-
tion, and his death was hourly expected. The
poison then yielded in a measure to the pow
erful antidote, but early this week he grew
worse and aDDarpptlV died.

Praise for omcer Fravser.

One of the best and quickest pieces of
police work that has been accomplished in this
city recently was the arrest of Charles Turner
and the recovery of the money which he stole
from Scheller & Stevens, the druggists, at the
corner of Ninth street and Pennsylvania
avenue, last Saturday night. The loss was re-
ported to Officer John Frayser, of the First Pre-
cinct, and within two hours he had arrested
Turner and recovered all but SIT of The $l71
stolen.
Yesterday Major Moore received letter from
Scheller q Stevens, in which they say: "We
beg to extend through you our very sincere
thanks to Police Officer John Frayser for his
promptness and success in locating Charles
Turner We think it only matter of justice
that tho said officer and through him the
efficient Police Department should receive our
most appreciative acknowledgement. No one
would be more gratified to see Officer Frayser
rewarded at an early day by such recognition
In the way OF promotion as he deserves, as we
think his act justly merits it," Major Moore is

Sugar Industry in Yuca an.

Interesting information in regard to the
growth OF the sugar industry in Yucatan has
been received by the Bureau of American
Republics. Hitherto Hennequin fire has
been the great product of that province, and
its present wealth has been almost wholly
dependent upon that industry, but the capt.
talists of the State are now investing in
the splendid sugar lands in the southern sec
tion and are bringing experienced sugar
makers from Cuba to manage the new plan
tations. Until recently much sugar was i'm
ported from Havana, the local production
not having been large enough for home con-
sumption, but it is now believed that the
sugar industry can go hand in hand with the
growth of Hennequin fibre, the latter being
confined to the partially arid lands in the
northern half Of the State while the rich
vegetable soil iR the southern part is given
over to the production of sugar. A signifi-
cant feature of the development of both in
dustries is that everything has been accom-
plished with native capital and native re-
sources

Am Allianoe "Combine.n p

ST. PAUL, MINI, Aug. 15.-George Mueller,
who issued the Alliance wheat circular, says:
"We have received replies from the secretaries
of Alliances in Southern Minnesota, South Da-
kota, Wisconsin, and Kansas, larger number
from the latter State, where the Alliance Is
strong, telling us of Alliances having voted
favorably on the suggestion. These are the
Localities to which the circulars were first sent.
Not an unfavorable reply has been received
from an Alliance secretary. My opinion is
main in the stack and go on with their ia Ii
work, plowing, etc., and do the thrashing
afterward. This of itself will result in a large
percentage of the crop being held for time.

Maior w. =. na1ker,s neath.

Major w. Il. Barker, we'll known in this
city for many years as the superintendent OF
the Pullman Palace Car Company in this city,

friends in Washington, who will deeply mourn
his death. Mr.. Barker, previous to his COM

being six years with this firm Mr.. Barker re-
signed to become partner in the firm or J. B.

following year he become connected with the

to Mr.. Jones when the infamous bandits
known as the Tweed ring were about to be
exposed in the New York Times in 1871.
When the ring became aware that Mr.. Jones
had secured from the city records the figures
to prove It's enormous stealings great efforts
were made to induce him to suppress the pub
lication of the truth Strong influence was
brought to bear and fabulous sums were
offered him. The negotiations included the
purchase OF the Times plant. According to
statement which was published with Mr..
Jones sanction in Harper's Weekly, in Feb
ruary, 1890, Richard b. Connolly, then Con-
troller of the city and Tweed's partner in
crime, obtained by strategem an interview
with Mr.. Jones, and offered him S5, ,00O, 900 to
forego the publication of the evidence he held
against the ring Mr.. Jones replied: 81 don't
think the devil will ever make higher bid
for me than that" He refused the offer, and
the damning proofs of the rings dishonesty
were laid before the public Mr.. Jones fol-
lowed this up for months until the gang of
Infamous scoundrels who had fattened on the
public treasure, debauched the voters and
saturated every branch of the New York City
government with corruption were driven from
place and power and sent into exile or prison.
lt was the greatest and, as those who know
the power and unscrupulOusness of the Tweed
ring are well aware, the boldest public service
ever rendered by newspaper to community
His courage and honesty were hardly more
admirable than the other traits Of his charac-
figures in the history of the newspaper world
In his management OF the Times Mr.. Jones
set noble example to other newspaper pro-
prfetors OF New York. He attended to his
business in a business-like way, and did not
pretend to be the greatest editor and pub
Usher in the world. He was as modest as the
most humble of the clerks in the model bust
ness department of his great establishment.
No one in the Times Building ever heard any
one In his employ speak harshly of him. 1t
was not often that he made suggestions or
found fault with the matter and makeup of
the paper. Everything goes like clockwork
in the Times office, and there is rarely any
turmoil or excitement there. Mr. Jones was
little man. with large heart, large brain,
and quiet tongue. He was generous man
and his acts of charity were many. Mr.. Jones
showed his superb courage again in 1884,
when he rsked the future of bis paper by re-
pudating the nomination of Blaine and sup
porting Cleveland for the Presidency Since
that time the Times has been an independent
newspaper in politics. and, as always, a care
fully edited, high-toned, clean, and thoroughly
reputable newspaper.

learned through the inimitable wit and philoso-
ply of "The Autocrat." Compared with the
young, although he had passed his seventy
second birthday. In speaking of Lowell
after his death had been announced,
Edmund Clarence Stedman said ''Mr.
Lowell was unquestionably the head of
the literary profession in America, and
when you say he was at the head in America,
as an all-round man of letters, / think YOU
will have to Include Great Britain also. Low
ellis governing instinct was literary. Any one
who knew him in his home life at Cambridge
associates him with shelves of rare books,
early folios and all things suggestive of schol-
arship and literary investigation. At the
same time he also had the genuine New Eng
land character, aud never could be contented
to figure as mere book-worm. He took the
greatest interest in human life, and was born
to touch life at all points.
''The fine thing about Lowell" added Mr..
Stedman, "was his plentiful and original
genius. This was so rich that he never was
compelled, like many writers, to hoard his
thoughts, or be miserly with his bright sayings.
When warmed by companionship and In talk,
he gave full play to this spontaneity, and said
enough witty and epigrammatic and poetic
things to set up dozen small takers or
writers. In this particular he presented a
strong contrast to Mr.. Longfellow, for in
stance.
''Perhaps the only Englishman of modern
times between whom and Lowell you could
draw parallel after the Plutarchian method
was Matthew Arnold. Each consciously or
unconsciously became the leader to the
younger members of his craft, and perhaps
Arnold was regarded with more devotion by
his younger associates, not to say pupils, than
was Lowell. But Lowells genius was far
more original and at command. Arnold had
wit, and so had Lowell, but Lowell in addi-
tion had never-failing humor, and If humor
is strengths richest superauity, he was by so
much tha suparj0r Thara is NOT trana of
flashing out in Lowell's from the first to the
last, and even enhancing rather than injuring
its ideality."

REFUSED A So, 900, 900 BR1BE.

what the Tweed Gang offered George
Jones Not to Expose Them.
The average citizen would be very apt to
say off-hand that the world contains few men
who would refuse bribe of s., ,0OO, 900, espe-
cially when 1t might be accepted without vio-
lating any oath nor betraying any trust except
a trust reposed in newspaper by tie public.
And 1t is likely the average citizen would be
right There are few men In any rank of life
whom an offer OF such q fabulous sum as
$5,OOO,OOO would not tempt, A man with the
fidelity to the trust reposed in him, the cour-
age and the conscience to refuse such bribe
Is hero as true and imposing as any that
history tells Of, and his name should be hon
ored without stint. Such man was the late
George Jones, proprietor of the New York
Times, who died on Wednesday in the ripe
ness of years. The fabulous bribe was offered
