Trading Was in Moderate Volume and Prices
Somewhat Eeceded.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.--Trading in stocks this
morning very moderate in volume,
but better tone was developed and
though fluctuations small prices
were maintained upon higher level than
those of last night. The bears were still
aggressive especially in the stocks with IN inter-
national market, but London WAS q moderate
buyer. and one Of the houses which was
to ship gold tomorrow is going to
send bonds instead. and the estimates
of the shipments, therefore. have
been materially reduced. Opening prices were
in many cases lower than those of last night.
but Big Four recovered the greater part of
yesterdays loss, opening at 545s against $3.50
last evening.
A dropping tendency marked the early deal
ing. which, however, soon gave way to a strong
tone. and considerable covering of shorts fol-
lowed Distillers was again advanced, con-
siderable excitement attending the early deal
ings, and from 81 it rose to 3S19.,
Other sharp gains we're lacking, but New
England was still strong. despite the official
denial Of the story that the Rockefeers we're
in control Of the property, and from 49l4 it
rose to 50l4. The entire market showed small
gains, but little animation. and at IL o'clock
the market was quiet but firm at fractional
gain over first prices.
The speculation in stocks was exceedingly
tame after IL o'clock and with the cessation of
the demand from the shorts prices re-
ceded slightly from the best figures. No
movement of importance occurred except
in Delaware and Hudson. which retired
per cent to 1922. At noon the market was
quiet and steady generally at a shade better
than first prices. Sales Of listed stocks to noon

PARIS, Feb. 1O.-Public opinion is substan-

sentence which is useless in fact and excessive
in law.
The republican Steele protests against the
sentence and adds that glory is thing so rare
and precious that the nation cannot too care
fully guard it.
The royalist Gaulois deplores the decision as
working havoc with the noblest legends Of the

MODS Wrath.
GAILATIS, NO., Feb. 10.-There was great ex-
element yesterday over the arrest and pro-
spective lynchinR of William Turner. who is
charged with ravishing his seven-year-
old daughter. The terrible crime was COM
mitted Wednesday at the home Of Turner's
parents, fifteen miles from this place, where he
has been living since his separation from his
wife short time ago. The last reports were
that the injuries TO the child were such
that it could not recover and that
in case of its death a mob would
visit punishment on the brutal father. The
prisoner is of a repulsive appearance. and when
questioned said that he was told that his child
was hurt and that he became afraid Of mob
and surrendered to the sheriff. The officers
are here to take him back to the scene of his
crime. but there is doubt whether they will be
permitted to do So

conversation to lead witness to consider him
other than Q sane person.
Schneider would always yield to positive evil
dence. He had never heard him use profane
language. and never saw him grow more than
ordinarily excited in conversation.
SECRETARY JOHN 7. DOYLE.
Secretary John I. Doyle of the civil service
commission said he knew the prisoner, and said
that Schneider had been examined three times
under the rules Of the commisston-March 3.
1884, as tracer, when he received q marking of
rs; June 80, 1885, as a draughtsman, when he
failed to pass. receiving a marking Of "a, and
December 26, 1888, as a Typographical
draughtsmsn. when he received a
marking of 70. The witness explained tina. a
marking Of IS placed the applicant on the
eligible list. and on the two occasions that
Schneider passed that figure he passed fairly
good examination. He was placed on the
examinations, but was never appointed.
HIS DEFICIENT TRANSLATION.
To Mr.. Wilson Mr.. Doyle said tho first ex-
animation involved merely the ability Of the
applicant to make a tracing The second in
volved the scholastic training of the applicant.
In this second examination Q paragraph was
read by the examiner. which the applicants
we're required to write down as read Schnef-
der's effort in this matter was q great fail
ure, mlsspelled and omitted words being
q prominent feature of the mans work. He
was given marking Of II. merely for theattempt
made by him. An attempt at debating a letter
was also an almost complete failure. In arith-
metic he, received . marking Of but rs. The
third examination involved a slight scholastic
test, the remainder being test rs to his ability
as draughtsman. :
To the district attorney Mr.. Doyle said that
q large majority Of persons taking such exami-
nations failed. Most OF Schpeider's mistakes
in the example Of dictation were errors in
punctuation, photography and capitalization
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Doyle's exauina-
ton the court took Q recess until o'clock.

homeward has started. Between 75 anG
100 angry men came in here yesterday
from the south, and hundreds are follow
ing them as rapidly as their means OF
transportation will permit.
All are loud in their denunciation of
those who originated the stories of rich
placers, and large rewards are offered for
any reliable clue as to their identif-
cation.
The situation would be ludicrous were
it not for the fact that many of these de-
luded men Tisked every dollar they owned
in the undertaking.
