IT'S not often that retributive justice
comes so swiftly to woud-be murderer as
it did to George Penfield, q miner, whose
body was buried last Wednesday near
Grouse Creek. Idaho. He "dosed" a
bottle OF whisky with strychnine and two
OF his partners drank small quantities
OF tie poisoned whisky and became sick.
As they had long known that Peniield
was bad man. and as they had heard that
he had recently purchased poison they &C

liquor and drawing their revolyers,
compelled him to drink. lie did not hest

the Cleveland electors withdrawn by the
Democrats and the Weaver electors sub

bered. a thing Of beauty, she permeated
the horizon Of the warm interim with

The summer girl was delicate as a bit of

with an influence as subtle as an odor.

Drawing a small compact parcel from
her reticule as she spoke she queried
"Haye you anything like thisW

doing the bundle cautiously, to her i'll con-
cealed annoyance, biting his lips the while
TO conceal his true emotion.
"Weu, I want one a size larger"
"For your brother"
"For my sister, you idiotw said the
beauty; "thesc are my brothers."
But how do you know they are the
right size? We could not take them

Il will risl, that" retorted the fair one,
her face blazing with petulancy. And
then she drew crisp "tenner" from big
roll and exchanging it for the parcel,
which had been tied up meanwhile, she
bore herself briskly down the aisle, eyes
frono, head erect, cheeks glowing deeper
red and the purchase tightly clasped in
her hand.
"Wen," exclaimed the amazed vender,
looking after her retreating form in a
wistful sort OF way, that just touches the
top notch of the masculine craze. Wh1

1t will be readily seen that the Wanted
novelty Of the idea of women donning pa
jamas is unwarranted. Then again it IS

ing and Atchison Large.
NEW York, April 27.-The stock market
to-day was a short repetition of that of yes
terday, and reflected only the apathy OF
operators and the prevailing temper among
the professionals and traders. Prices to-day
were weak from the opening to the close,
while, as was to be expected from the linn
tied volume of business, fluctuations as q
rule, were without special significance. A
few stocks were made the special marks for
bear attacks, however, and three shares
showed both more animation and wider
range of prices.
The attack upon Rock Island which was
started last evening was continued and O
further loss of 1% per cent followed. while
the announcement OF the breaking Off of the
negotiations for the control of rival prop
erty gave another opportunity to sell Cord
age down. The decline was equally rs large
as that in Rock Island. The other Changers,
ana especially Burlington, suffered with
Rock Island; but while such stocks as Read
ing and Atchison rolled up a large total of
transactions, their changes in quotations
were slight.
The attitude of London on the market at
present has marked effect upon the policy
OF the professional element, and sales by
tOaG center OF It's 1aVOflteS, including Erie,
gave much encouragement to the drive q
values aud prevented any recovery of note.
The first hour SAY most OF the lowest prices
reached, but rallies were feeble, even after
the lifting of the pressure to sell, and the
close was fairly active and heavy at or near
the lowest prices of the day. The final
changes are almost invariably losses, but for
small fractions in most cases, while Rock
Island lost ~, Cordage ~. and Burlington
lper cent.
The total sales OF stocks to-day were 127,.
CSC shares. including: Atchison, i, 6O5: Erie.
l0,045: Northern Pacific preferred, $40; New
England, $3.50: Reading, 1880; st. Paul, $500;
Union Pacific, $3.50.
The railroad bond market partook OF tho
same character rs the stock market to-day,
and showed II dropping tendency through
out, though, as usual, only a few of the lead
ing issues displayed any animation or
movement. The Atchison incomes were
again the special feature OF the trading and
scored material decline, dropping steadily
from $50 to 53I, while their sales reached
$29S OCO, out OF total OF ST. l1s 900 for tho day
Chesapeake and Ohio AIS, Chicago and East
Illinois 5s and Rio Grande Western lists
were also prominent in the dealings, but no
other sharp decline occurred, and prices are
all lower this evening.

A DAY OF SMALL THINGS AND AT
LEAST ONE SURPRISE

Philadelphia Gas Plays Fast and Loose
With tho Traders, but True to Its
Record at the Last Moment-A Few
Strong Features.
Although stock trading was dull and un-
profitable yesterday, tho market had a few
interesting features. Philadelphia Gas was
one OF these. 1t opened strong. contrary to
its usual course just after q statement and
traders hoped it would hold out But they
were disappointed. 1t broke at the after
noon session. After call it was O trife
stronger. Manchester, Birmingham and Cen
tral Traction improved their position. Du-
quesne and Luster were steady, and Switch
and Pipeage weaker. There were no special
changes in other directions.
The first call was a whitewash, the frst for
some time, but barely escaping on several
occasions The second was but little better.
Only two sales were made. One hundred
shares Of Philadelphia Gas changed hands
