WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.


Common expectation was fulfilled by the dui-
ness Of the stock market to-day. Probably the
bear faction was disappointed by the comparative
steadiness Of values Some early strength was
encouraged by better quotations from London, out
no snpport followed the small advances and the
trading element sold stocks in consequence. The
popular bear expression that there was no one
to buy 'em" might better be replaced by the
more significant statement There's no one 10
sell 'em but rs" The net result OF the days
business was to disturb no holdings. While the
trading short contracts created wonld be covered
on the change of professional within. Cnfavor-
able crop reports furnished the excuse advanced
for the late sales. and yet the only two stocks

WHISKEY OR BROMIDE I?
Was William Smith Killed by a
Police Sergeant's Error?

In the early hours this morning another
death occurred in cell in the Hoboken
police station. William Smith, a young
married man, was the victim, and from
what could be learned this morning the
mans life might have been saved had he
received proper medical attendance.
Smith lived with bis young wife at No.
246 Sixth street. He has always been Il
hard drinker, and few days ago he went
on a debauch. AS a result yesterday he
required medical attendance at his home
About eleven o'clock last night Smith be-
came violent and chased his wife into the
street. Policemen Guinan and Kennedy
were summoned. They found Smith
holding snake inspection in a corner of
the room.
The ambulance was summoned and
Smith brought to the Police Station He
was carried on a stretcher to cell and
booked as a delirium tremens prisoner
In a cupboard in the station house is
kept a supply of medicines aud lint,
which the men in charge of the desk have
access to. and which they use in cases of
necessity.
Although it is customary, if not obliga-
tory, in all cases of delirium tremens for
the Sergeant in charge to send for a
physician, the sergeant in charge last
night did not do so. Instead, he procured
some bromide of potassium from the cup
board and piled the prisoner with 1t free
ly. Shortly before four o'clock this morn
ing Smith was found dead in his CELL
City Physician Simon was summoned
about half an hour after the man had
died, and when he heard of the treatment
Smith had received expressed himself in
severe terms.
In all cases of delirium tremens," said
the doctor this morning, "a physician
should be summoned ut once. / under
stand that Smith was given large doses
of bromide. This was not the proper
treatment. He should have been given
stinulants.
Smiths body was conveyed to Parslow's
morgue His young widow is prostrated
wi tn grief at his untimely end.

RUM AND BLACKMAIL.
Arbitrary Action of a Po-
1iCeman In West
Hoboken.
THIS NEEDS INVESTIGATION.
A Citizen Locked Up and Released
Without Recorder Reinhardt's
knowledge.
THIS NEEDS INVESTIGATION

A story of gross misuse of police power
up was reported to the West Hoboken
Council at their meeting last night. Mr..
Cook, a wealthy florist of the town, was
the complainant and told the following
story. About week ago last Tuesday
Special Policeman Lehmkuhl and
Richard Ludlow went into Knauth's
saloon at High Point avenue and called
for drinks. In the saloon was young
man named Roberts. who was in the en-
ploy of the florist. The drinks were
served to the policeman and his compan-
ion, and at his repeated orders more
drinks were served until the two men had
contracted bill of So. Then Mrs. Knauth.
who was in charge of the saloon, asked
for the money due for the drinks.
Lehmkuhl was SO astonished at the out
rageous request that he was unable to
speak, but when he recovered the valiant
preserver OF the peace, said:-"Why, don't
you know you have no right to sell
drinks. Your license has not been trans
ferred."
THREATS AND BLACKMAIL.
He threatened to arrest the woman for
her alleged offense, but to settle If she
WOulQ give MIN ". IL ne received LnlS
sum, he said. he would call it square.
Mrs. Knauth was very much frightened
and would probably have paid the
amount demanded if Roberts had not
spoken up in protest.
See here" he said; "this is hardly a
fair deal to woman. You have no right
to swindle this woman"
"Oh, you shut up," replied Lehmkuhl;
"or will arrest you"
Roberts invited him to do this, and
Lehmkuhl seized him and dragged him
to the Town Hall, where he locked him
up. His name was not entered on the
blotter. nor was there any complaint
| made. He was forced into cell and
| kept there.
| A PECULIAR RELEASE.
This was in the morning BY five
o'clock the vigilant policeman had cooled
off and the cell door was swung open
and Roberts was released. He was not
discharged by any magistrate, nor in the
| regular manner. but he was told to go.
Recorder Reinhart says he never heard
| anything about the case, and none of the
| authorities are willing to confess any
| knowledge of it. They all comment
upon the case with which man
could be deprived of his
| liberty without the knowledge of the
proper authorities.
Lehmkubl could not be found last
night. The complaint was referred to
| the Police Committee.

From st. Louis.

Baggagemaster Juke of the Pennsyl-

that arrived Tuesday morning to see If
IL was in good condition. When he
peered into the car he was asto nished
to find there man unconscious and ap-
parently frozen. Juke examin ed the man
and found that there was life in him, and
then he summoned help and carried the
unfortunate to warm room. A
physician was soon at work on the man,
and after considerable labor he was re-
vived. He was nearly dead from ex-
posure. His hands and feet were frozen y.
and his face was frost-bitten. His con-
dition was pitiable in the extreme.
BEATING HIS WAY EAST.
When he was sufficiently strong TO tell
his story he said his name was Joseph
O'Connor. Last Sunday he was in st.
Louis and he saw stage carpenter in
charge of the scenery, loading a baggage

the carpenter to stow him in the baggage
car so that he might go to his brother.

getting east. The stage carpenter

encountered snow storm and the snow
drtfted in the car, which was frightfuily
cold.
HIS SUFFERINGS INTENSE.
How he stood the cold and hunger,
OConnor could not imagine. He arrived
in this city Tuesday morning and was
then nearly perished.
The stage carpenter had promised to re-
lease him, but that individual forgot all
about O'Connor, and went to his home in
Brooklyn. The unfortunate man, more
dead than alive. was forced to remain in
the icy car Tuesday and Wednesday.
Last night he gave up hope. He had
shouted and pounded ON the car doors to
attract attention as long as he had

discovered when he was he probably
would not nave lived another hour.
When O'Conuor was able to be re-
moved he was placed in a coach and
taken to the home Of his brother in New
York.
An hour later the stage carpenter came
from Brooklyn. He had only remembered
O'Connor this morning and was horror
stricken when he thought of the conse-
quences of his neglect. He seemed much
relieved when told O'Connor had been
sent to his brother.
