New York.

NEW YORK. June 24.-While the trading
at the stock exchange was limited III vol
ume during the days short session, the
bears did not lose their control of material
progress in certain sections of the list more
particularly in Nickel Plate. These stocks
have been dormant for long time, but to-
day were taken in hand by bear broker
and depressed anywhere from W to per
cent The common sold down " to 10 and
the preferred to 81, and second preferred
ga to 1884. In the absence of inside sup
port the marking down process was accom-
plished with ease. The other weak spots
were Rubber preferred, Chicago Gas, Union
Pacific. Sugar and General Electric. The
decline in these speciaties ranged from l2
to ZIP per cent, Chicago Gas and Rubber
preferred leading. The market was in
huenced by the further loss in the bank re-
serves and fears that money will be close
next week. Outsiders are not in the market
to any extent and the room traders nave tne
market practically to themselves. At the
close speculation wasweak. The total sales
were 77.731 shares.
NEW YORK. June 24.-Boston contributed
something 10 the days selling. says the Post.
The bankers of that city, who week ago
proclaimed themselves above the need OF
clearing house certificates, suddenly changed
issue. Naturally, the result of this abrupt
reversal of policy led to misgiving in the
market, and for the sales of stocks for that
account today the Boston bankers have
themselves to thank. These sales, though by
no means heavy. had particularly bad
effect on Union Pacific stock, concerning
which company board room Iumors at once
began to circulate. That the stories were APP
parently concocted to hasten the decline was
shown both in the firmness OF prices Tor the
company's bonds and the light transactions
on which the stocks decline took place.

some reports were received noting damage
to the spring wheat crop in the Northwest

generally favored the selling side, but prices
are so low that operators do not feel like
selling to any extent. A fair decrease in the

In corn operators were confined largely to

'TARSNEY INDICATED.
His BaId-Headed Pensioner Has
Been Discovered in Rhode
Island.
Allen G. Peck Allowed a Pension
on the Claim of ''Loss
of Hair"

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Mr. Tars-
ney's bald-headed pensioner has been
found, according to a story made public
this morning. In February last Repre-
sentative Tarsney, of Missouri, de-
livered speech in the house in which
occurred the following startling state
ment:
II speak not in Jest, but in sober
truth, and from the record, when | de-
clare to this house and to the country
that pensions nave been granted on ac-
count of loss of hair-on account of
badness. Think of the diminishing
effect upon mans capacity to earn
support by manual labor that must re-
suit from the disability of badness"
A week later, in batch of CORE
spondence submitted to the house which
passed between Commissioner of Pen.
sions Raum and Medical Referee In
graham, of the pension Office, the state
ment of Mr.. Tarsney was denied by the
pension bureau. Representative circuit
submitted this pondence, together
with a letter from Commissioner Raum
in which the latter stated that she felt
confident that MIR. Tarsney had been
misinforlned." Mr.. Tarsney, in reply.
said he could not produce the name OF
his informant. because the gentleman
who had given him the information was
employed in the pension Office as medi-
cal examiner. and would suffer dis
missal if his lame was published.
DR.. Warren Holt, of Missouri, medical
examiner of the pension Office, it was
said later, had given Mr.. Tarsney the
information that brought forth Com
missioner Raum's denial. DIR. Holt
was dismissed from the pension office
on March last ''for cause" DR.. Holt
was not able to point out any case of
badness which had been pensioned.
but by accident yesterday the following
remarkable case was discovered: Allen
g. Peck, of Company Iii, First Rhode
Island light artillery, was allowed a
pension on Oct. 10, 1891. Certificate No.
670175 was issued to him, and the case
was ordered to be dated from March 1,
1884, and the arrearages of 81 per month,
amounting to about 1864. The records
of the pension bureau developed the
fact that no other cause was given as
the reason for the allowance of Mr..
Peck's claim than the "loss of hair"
result of typhoid fever. Efforts,i it is said,
will now be made to have DR.. Holt re-
inStated.

BONACUM ROASTED.
Lincoln's Bishop Charges Prom
inent Parishioner With
Conspiracy.
The Layman Comes Back at the
Prelate With a Very Bitter
Letter.

OMAHA, June 24.-Bishop Bonacum,
of Lincoln. yesterday gave to the press
an interview in which he lntimated
that Father Laughran. who was re-
Gently deposed from the position of
vice,rector of st. Iheresa's cathedral.
had Joined with John P. Sutton in a
conspiracy to have the bishop himself
deposed. Sutton. who is prominent
Irish Catholic, has given to the press a
letter in which he denies that he was
engaged in any conspiracy against the
bishop. He says:
1.-THE conspirator against the bishop
is his own overreaching vanity and his
natural unfitness for dignity which he
so rashly presumed to accept"
Sutton scores the bishop numerically
for his financial methods and treatment
of his priests and members OF his
church, saying: lie does not hesitate
to tell US that the priests he has brought
into the diocese are tramrs and OutcaStS,
but he only discovers these facts when
in the interest of their Practitioners the
priests refuse to honor his never-ceas-
ing drafts upon their resources. lie
cultivated the friendship of rich gam
bier and his wife, while he had no use
for the poor of his diocese"
The letter concludes with the avowal
that to lie tamely under the tyranlcal
and incompetent rule of such a man,
while conscious of the injury he was
doing the Catholic church, would not be
religion but superstition Of the basest
sort, and concludes with the declara-
ton that the writer, regardless
of DR.. Bonacum's threats, will
aid in any movement for get
ting him removed from the diocese that
is consistent with obedience to the pope,
and to do so is the duty of every intel
ligent Catholic. A call for meeting of
Catholics of Lincoln to take action con-
corning the removal of Laughran by
the bishop, has been published over the
signatures of John Fitzgerald. j. T.
Sutton and other Catholics of the high
est standing.

Hermann, the magician, was examined
in supplementary proceedings by Judge
Hummel on judgment of $4,000 OBJ

Mrs. Hermann to meet obligations.
He has no jewelry or orna-
ments, having given them all to
his wife, including his Cath
Ollie cross. The watch and pin he wore
were also his wife's property. She has
home at Whitestone, l.. l., where she
keeps four horses Hermann said he
