WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Monday, August 20-p. m
The stock market was feversh and generally
lower to-day. The volume Of business was not
large, aud the dealings were badly distributed
Prominence was achieved by Pmadelphla ana
Reading, in which the trading roughly speak
ing, ran up to about two-ilfths Of the entire
business recorded. The price was early depressed
to Sc rs; it rallied only 1-2 per cent in the
afternoon, and closed with ret loss OF IA per
cent at SO l-o 1t may be admitted that bear
pressure assisted the decline, but the presence OF
realizing orders could not be disguised. There
was no confirmation of the rumor that the Gov
ernor Of New-Jcrsey contemplated calling an extra
session of the Legislature to deal with The ques
ton of the coal combination. But it would not
lie unnatural especially in view OF the state
election, il another effort were made to reach
any company amenabe to the authorities OF New
Jersey when the official utterances in behalf OF
the railroads affected by the recent decision OF
Chancellor Mctilll would seem to imply that the
State authorities could not do more tnan eHece
q technical alteration Of the relations between
the Jersey Central and the Reading. Perhaps me

While much talk in the Street may be designed
for speculative effect. the foreign exchanges are
beginning to feel the disturbance caused by the
disease abroad. Predictions of q cold wave IN
the corn belt were scasonabe, and helped TO color
sentiment. The market was professional, and the
character OF all the operations may not be easily
distinguished But after an afternoon rally the
closing WAS unsettled at about lowest prices.

OVERMAN'S TRIAL.
The Court Martial in the Case Gets Down
to Business in Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, o., February S.-An impos-
ing scene was the courtmartial of Major
L. G. Overman, of the Army Engineering
Corps, as it opened in the Hollenden this
morning
According to long established precedent
the courts martial always open at 10 o'clock
and close at 8, but owing to the late arrival
of two members it was IL o'clock this
morning before proceedings commenced.
Capt Myrick, the Judge Advocate, call.
ed the roll Of the court and then read the
special order Of the War Department for
the converting of the court 1t was then
discovered that the stenographer had not
arrived, and a recess was taken until
o'clock.
In the afternoon the court began busi-
ness in earnest. Maj. Overman was ar
raigned and the specifications were read
to him. They were very lengthy and
charged him with approprlsting to his
own use on various occasions sums OF
money.
The first charge summed up was for
embezzlement and violation of the arti-
cles of war The second charge was
several specifications and accused the
Major Of making false vouchers and
certifying them to be just, thus
defrauding the govern ment Of different
sums of money. In effect he was said
to have bought all sorts Of househould
goods for his own use and to have
charged them to the government as sup
plies of various sorts the vouchers sent
on being fraudulent in each case.
Among other things he is accused OF
having placed his private coachman on
the payroll of the government. The
sum alleged to have been embezzled is
about S., 900 in small amounts. Major
Overmans declined to plead to the ar
raignment until his counsel had been
heard. Judge Sanders then introduced
a motion that some Of the specifications
be quashed, which will be decided to-
morrow. Major Oyermans' counsel are
making hard fight for him.

THROUGH THE SENATE.
Senator Faulkler'S Direct Tax Refund
Resolution
PASSED ALMOST UNANIMOUSLY,
With n, OBJECTION From Even the Virginia Mem
bsr-Good Reasons for Believing EWiu
Pass the H01se-SsnatOrF Fa1lk-
ner's Uutiring Efforts.


VAsHINGTON, d c., February g.
THE West Virginia direct tax resolution
went through the senate to-day without
the least difficulty. There was no de-
hate on it, no objection was raised, and
tine vote was practically unanimous in
its favor.
This was largely due to Senator
FauIknerS untiriug missionary labor in
explaining 70 Senators in advance the
nature of the resolution and the cir
cuustauces attending the holding up Of
West Virgiuia's share Of the direct tax
ar the Treasury Department.
senator Barbour, of Virginia, was not
r~esent when the vote was taken, al
though he knew Senator Faulkner
would call the resolution up to-day. 1t
is DossibIe Senator Barbour or Senator
Daniel may ask tomorrow or later TO
have the vote by which the resolution
was passed, reconSjdered. If this is
done 10 will be q mere matter of form in
order 20 allow the Virginia Senators to
make some remarks on the resolution,
showing Virgiuia's attitude on the
question 40 issue between that State
and West Virginia.
The resolution may be regarded as
finally disposed Of, however, as far as
the Senate is concerned. The question
now is, what will the House do with
iJ?
As the money was appropriated by the
last Congress, and is now tied up in the
Treasury, the passage Of the resolution
would in no way conflict with the eco
nomical policy laid down for itself by
the House. so there does not seem TO be
any good reason why the House should
not pass the resolution, and no doubt 1t
will do so promptly.
