came marching to The hall and made
charge on our picket and took pos
session of the ante-room and such. q
rustling as there was to get our goat
corolled for we had Just got through
initiating. They rushed into the hall
completely loaded down.with eatablea
ofnice chicken sandwiches, cakes and
pies, coffee and cocoa. We don't
know how they managed to keep 1t
such secret. 1t was all right. We
were glad of 1t and hope they will
come again for we had nice time and
enjoyed ourselves immensly for about
two hours after which the hall was
yacated-of the Sir knights and guests.
The Hive was called to order and the
following officers were elected for the

Last Sunday nice appearing and

peared at one of our churches and gay
out the information that he was an
Assyrlan who was In this country
studying with the intention of prepar-
ing. himself as missionary to 20 back
to his native land. Naturally he was
welcomed by the good people, " no
made much OF him. Alas, for the
frailty Of the human mind! In the af-
ternoon positive evidence was pre-.
duced showing him to be pretender.
When confronted with the charge
he confessed it, and stated that he wrs
apeddler He was a shrewd aud INTEL
igen. young man and distinguished
himself in the morning Sunday school
BY his information and the excellent
points he brought out ON the lesson.
And when asked to lead In prayer re-

sons who congregate outside Of the

ways seek to. disturb the meeting.
Last Saturday evening they were
making much noise and f. B. Powell,
one of the members Of the church went
out to see If he could not induce them
to be quiet. AS soon as he was out he
was surrounded by a mob of men, one
of whom threw a club which hit him
In the face inflictlng an ugly wound
over his right eye and which may re-
suit in loss Of the eye sight. He be-
lieves he had sufficient evidence to
establish the guilt of jeff Hannah and
Monday he caused a warrant to be
issued for his arrest. The constable
went cut after him but be was miss
ing until Wednesday when he came
and gave himself up to Justice Love

church people retained to assist In the
prosecutions appeared for the state and
the defendant was placed under bonds

rumored that other arrests will follow,
as after the congregation left the build

were broken nut and large heavy
pole 80 feet long was thrust through

tolerated either by law or public sent

STAGhAT|OA IN STOCKS.
Little Trading Done and that by
Professionals
In the Late Trading Sugar Took
Another Spurt.

The stock market continues exceed
ingly dun and dealings are confined
almost entirely to the professionals, who
are bearish at the moment on the move
ment OF gold to Europe and the rate
troubles at the West and South. The
heavy reductions just made in the. rates
on dressed beef stimulated selling for
the short account this morning, as did
also the cable advices reporting Ameri-
can stocks weak in London. The bears
are unable to make much impression
on prices, however, as they are unable
to force out long stock.
The steamship Normanna to-day took
out $l900o0o gold. The shippers were
Ladenburg. Thalman & Co., Heidel-
bach, Ickelheimer & Co. and Kuhn,
the exports by Saturdays steamers will
be still larger, as the exchange market
is practically bare of bills

brought $4,000 in gold and silver coin

the latter. Northwest and Lake Shore

Chicago Gas was up on the announce
ment that the quo warranto case had
been transferred to the United States
courts. which traders interpret as mean
ing a postponement of action for some
time to come.
The underlying cause for the strength
OF the market Is the inability of those
working for lower prices to shake out
holders.
The feature of the late afternoon
trading was Sugar, which rose on large
dealings to 107 "a. The shorts were
again caught mapping, and met with
considerable losses. The bears in Chi
cago Gas also took fright and that
stock crossed &c.
The general list held firm until just
previous to the close, when there was
a slight reaction.
The sales OF listed stocks were $1,000
shares. In the Unlisted Department
$500 shares Of Sugar and $500 Lead
were traded in.

very outspoken opinion concerning Coney

sore and ought to be wiped off the map
OF old Coney and sent to the eternal
bow vows" There was nothing that
ne could see to recommend its contin-
uance.
Concerning other features OF Coney
Island, the Mayor was equally explicit.
For instance. the elect:ic light plant. for
which the taxpayers are said to have
been mulcted to the tune of $50, 900 under
the John Y. McKane regime. seemed
to Mayor Schieren to be worth consid-
erably less.
incidentally he searched for the con-
tract under which II was constructed.
but not being able 20 find It, has con-
cluded that the agreement must have
been verbal. This impressed Mayor
Schercn as singularly unfortunate In
view fthe fact that the completion OF
the electric building will cost some
$4,000 more.
Gravesend men buttonholed Mayor
Schieren this morning He was asked
to appoint Gravesenders to the police
force. He replied that he could show no
preferences. The civil-service examine
ton was what talked He also said
that he could not appoint a Gravesender

tion until next year.

To begin with. he has insisted that

enjoying many privileges, and II was
only al Capt. Watson's demand that he
was confined.
The Captain has also notified the
Nicaraguan authorities that In his opin-
ion American citizens are not being ade-
quately protected. and that therefore he
proposes to give them the necessary pro-
lection. He is acting with that end in
view.
