The General List Improves at the Close, Which Was Dull-Railroad Bonds Inactive.
 NEW YORK. Nov 16. The stock market was less active today. Dur ing the greater part of the day the bears made active efforts to depress prices Reading, Chicago Gas, Sugar, Atchison. American oil, New Eng land and Missouri Pacific all yielded 1 per cent. The greatest pressure was against Reading. The able condition of the coal trade and apprehen- sions in regard to the outcome of the litigation in the New Jersey courts. Missouri Pacific was depressed by reports that the company intended to make a new issue of bonds In connection with the construction of branch lines. These reports were subsequently denied by George J. Gould. The lowest quotations, as a rule, were touched around delivery hour. From that to the close the market ruled tolerabIy firm and the general list improved 1s to 34 per cent. from the lowest on comparatively light offerings. Among the special.ies Ohio Southern advanced 2a. The rise in sterling exchange and advices stating that the transcontinental association was in danger of going to pieces initiated against an advance in prices today.

THE COURT RECORD.

Superior Court-Crtminal Stde-Judge
 Fenn.
 In this court yesterday afternoon John Ennis of Waterbury was placed on trial, charged with causing the death of John Igo in Waterbury on October 15, 1899. The defendant pleaded not guilty. The prosecution was conducted by State Attor- ney Terry, while J. F. Houlihan, Yale law school '92, conducted the case for the de- fense in an exceedingly able manner.
 On October 15 Igo and Ennis met outside of the barber shop of Marx Kstz in Water bury. They exchanged conversation and were apparently sparring together in a joking manner, when Ennis became angry at something Igo said and struck him a violent blow upon the forehead, producing a severe cut and knocking him instantly to the sidewalk. Igo fell backward, striking the back of his head on the sidewalk, be- came immediately insensible and died in 8 few minutes.
 The above is substantially the story of the crime as introduced by the prosecution and were examined for the state, and at o'clock the court adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning, when the defense will be commenced.

 Judge Thayer also handed down a decision granting the motion of Charles s. Hamilton, counsel for the plaintiff in the of s. D. Chip man against B. N. Rowe & Son, to expunge cer- tain portions of the defense. The plaintiffs sued the defendants for removing buoys from their oyster beds.

The plaintiffs counsel held that the claim was irrelevant the superior court superceding the power of the shell fish commissioner.
 At the afternoon session of the court Frank E. Hines appeal from probate was read. Hines asked for the appointment of a conservator over Trsat Hines on the ground that the latter was in competent to manage the money of which he has charge.

clique which has lately controlled them.
to continue to execute their own sweet
will without regard to the wishes of a

management of affairs.
It should be needless to urge upon the
Democratic voters of this city the i'm
portsnce of attending the primaries to be
held IN the three wards this evening.
-Four candidates are to be selected and the
wisdom shown in making these selections
will be an important factor In secur-
ing in their election next Tuesday.
Candidates should be secured who are
thoroughly representative of their con
stituents. Men OF good business ability
who will command the confidence of the
people are the stamp of men required and
none other should be put forward. The

We hope the three meetings will be
largely attended so that the availability Of
the various aspirants will be thoroughly

A Queer Place to Hide Money.

Not long ago a neighbor in a frame
house was burned put and the residents
in the vicinity all worked hard to try
and save some of his furniture. To our
surprise the man seemed quite indiffer-
emit to the fate of his chairs and tables,
but ran great risk of being burned alive
in his efforts to save a few flowers in
some shabby looking pots. 1t did not
appear to me hat his flower collection
was worth a dollar altogether, and
could not imagine why he took such
pains to save it from burning.
l found put afterward hat it was not
the flowers or the roots that he cared
for, as they were all scattered roughly
around the front Of the house, nor for
the pots, which he threw away. The
secret turned out to be that he was using
his flower pots as banks in which to store
his spare money, and he admitted on be-
ing questioned that he had been doing
this for many years.-Interview in st.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

A simple method of toughening any
glassware is to immerse it in a gallon
pot of cold water in which a half cup of
salt has been dissolved. Let the water
boil thoroughly, then lift the kettle off
the fire and allow it to become perfectly
cold before you remove the glass. When
the water is perfectly cold take out the
glassware, wash it and wipe it dry. Glass
treated in this way is protected against
changes of temperature and sudden
drafts, which, striking against a super
heated lamp chimney, are liable to crack
it.-New York Tribune.

Amid way of hazing uninitiated schol-
ars has been in vogue for a long time at
the Eclectic Medical college. Every new
man is required to get up before the
whole school and give a little jig before
he will be recognized as a fit person to
associate with. If he refuses Mt first to
give the jig he is not in it with the boys,
who slight him on every possible occa-
sion and make him the putt of their
jokes. Some very digniied scholars
found it terribly hard to get through the
little ordeal, but experience taught them
to succumb, and there is not one of them
who has not ratified his feet in accordance
with the unwritten rule of the institu.

does not come under the jurisdiction Of

Comparatively little paper is made out
Of rags nowadays exclusively, a fact
which is fortunate, as the quantity OF
paper now used is 80 great that there
would not be enough worn out clothing
or shoddy to supply the demand. The
strangeness of it is that while paper is
being used for dozens of purposes former
ly monopolized by wood or even a harder
material, such as car wheels, boxes, bar.
rels, tubs, pals and SO forth, wood is rap
idly driving other ingredients to the wall
in the manufacture of nearly all the
cheaper grades of paper.
Wood pulp is made by a comparatively
lengthy process, but by taking the mills
to river banks where there is raw ma.
terial and water power at hand, it can
be produced at less than half the price
formerly charged.-New York Telegram.
