LONDON, Jan. 8, 1S94.-1:30 P. M.-The
stock market opened steady. American rail
road securities became weaker shortly after
the opening, but at this hour are better. A
raid was made on Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul. There was decline in New York
Central. which is thought will continue.
There are rumors of hquidationS in different
quarters, though there have been no an
nouncement of failures.
$50 P. NAT this hour the market has
relapsed.
The firm for whose account sales of Amer
lean railroad securities were made yesterday,
which had the effect of depressing the mar
ket, was Satterthwaite & Co., stock and
share brokers, of No. = Austinfrlars. 1t Is
reported that the firm has fully paid up its
obligations.
4:3O P. M.-Throughout the day the mar
kes was nervous in most directions. There
was a little disposition manifested to specu-
late for rise. English railway securities
were lower on unfavorable traffic reports
Argentine bonds were firm. Italian secur-
ities opened lower but closed better Colon

small advances
American railroad securities were irregu-

LBHIGH CHECKMATED.
CentraPs Men Get Up Early and
Build a Spur-Watehing
One Another.

The attempt of the Lehigh Valley Rail
road on Monday to steal Chapel avenue,
Greenville, has brought on railroad war
which promises to furnish many exciting in
cidents and give the police lots of work be-
sides. Yesterday the Lehigh Valley Rail
road made no attempt to cross Chapel ave-
nue., but put their laborers to work on the
spur north of Chapel avenue. All day the
large force was kept at work, and when six
O'Clock the time for quitting, arrived, the
spur had been completed to the bank of the
Morris Canal, near the Point of Rocks.
While the work was going on number of
Central Railroad men were guarding the
Meadow property north of the canal. The
Lehigh Valley made no attempt to cross the
canal and consequently there was no trouble.
When the Lehigh Valleys men arrived on
the scene this morning, however, they found
large gang of Central Railroad employees
at work building spur, on the other side OF
the canal, from the Central tracks and across
the meadows in southeasterly direction to
the completed Lehigh Valley track and
which runs parallel with the CentraPs main
tracks. By nine o'clock the new Central spur
was completed and the Lehigh Valley men
found themselves cleverly eheckmated.
They could not go ahead with their work
because their path was blocked. Their fore
man wisely concluded to let matters rest for
while and told them not to resume work
but to remain on the grounds and watch the
Central men and prevent them from cross
ing the Lehigh Valley main track.
Word was then sent to the Lehigh officials
at Communipaw and a freight engine was
sent to Caven Point to aid the men in guard
ing the track The engine was kept running
up and down the track all morning, but the
Central men made no effort to cross the
tracks.
WATCHING ONE ANOTHER.
As soon as the Centrafs men completed
their work they also received orders not to
leave the ground and for the remainder of
the morning kept watch upon the Lehigh
Valley men At half-past twelve o'clock the
gangs were still watching each other. The
Fifth precinct police are watching both.
Captain Nugent this morning, as soon as he
heard of the matter, detailed policeman to
the scene to prevent any breach of the peace
that may occur The policeman received
orders not to interfere with the workmen ex-
cept in the case. of a fight. Captain Nugent
expects, however that there will be trouble
before the matter is finally settled and VIII
keep a close watch upon both companies.
The Central Railroad claims that. 1t owns
the property over which its spur is built,
while the Lehigh Valley people claim it be-
longs to them, and declare that they will
cross it with their track even if the Central
spur does block the way. The Centrals lab
orers on the other hand declare that they
will prevent anyone from crossing the spur
which they laid, and threaten bodily harm
to anyone who attempts to do SO. most

GALE IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.
Heavy wind and a Furious Sea Pre-
vailed.
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, Jan. 8, 1894-A binding snow
storm, accompanied by heavy wind and
furious sea, prevailed in the English Channel
last night. The packet service between
English and French ports was interrupted,
and some of the steamers suffered damage:
The packet from Ostend was unable to land
at Dover owing to the tremendous sea, ana
put out into the channel again to await high
water, when it was thought the storm Wouid
abate somewhat.
A despatch from BroadStairs on the East
coast of the Isle Thanet County of Kent,
says that three vessels off that coast DIS
PLAYED signals of distress last evening, and
that the Broadstairs lifeboat put out to
render assistance. No headway could be
made against the gale, and the boat was
compelled to stend off and make for Rams
gate, two miles south OF Broad
stairs. Here the assistance OF tug
was was towed to one of the
disabled or wrecked vessels In the mean
time, SO far as can be learned, two OF the
vessels that had signalled for assistance had
disappeared, and it is believed by many per
however, that they managed to claw
off shore and stand out to sea. 1t Is
thought that the hfeboat stood by the re-
naming vessel, and that she took off the
crew this morning. At the time the
despatch was sent the ifeboat had not re-
turned. A fishing smack that had lost its
bearings ran ashore at Broadstairs. All on
board of her managed to reach shore safely
The German ship Georg, Captain Scholz
from Bremen for New York, which was
towed into Dover Roads January disabled
was seen to be drifting on the shore at Dover
during the gale. The boats went to her as
sistance, and it is thought that she was taker
out of danger

WHAT SLAVES WERE WORTH
Prices Paid In New York State From
1859 to 1918.

In 1859 negroes purchased at Curacao for
$50 could not be sold at New Amsterdam
for the same price, In 1861 few sold there
for $176 each, less the freight. Three years
later negroes brought 5000 at certain sale
the highest price being $4,000, and the low
est $134.20 On the same occasion negresses
brought about $129 each, although in 1924
ssgood negresses' sold for $240 and in 1923
anywhere from 1925 to $500. Negroes had
risen in value, meantime, to $3.50, and there
remained as long as the importation OF
slaves continued.
In 17O5 a Bermuda merchant sold in New
York City a young negro woman, about
eighteen, who had lived in his family some
time, for $500. A negro wench nineteen
years old, s'whom he brought up from in
fancy" was sold by DR.. Duprey OF New
York City, in 1928, for 1925. In the same
year negro wench and child belonging TO
former sheriff of Amboy, brought S375. In
the inventory of an estate in 1719 another
negro wench and child stood for only $500.
Able bodied men were selling for about $3.50
During and just after the Revolution the
price of slaves appears to have varied ex-
ceedingly. The Assessors in Ulster County
in ITS valued male slave between 15 and
and and 10 at S75, 800 and $50 respect
lively. Female slaves between the same
ages brought 800, $50, $50 and $40, although
in 1888 the Council of Sequestration sold a
negro boy for $56.25. Ten years later
another lin Albany county was bought for
500, and third lin Richmond county, in
179S for $40, though by agreement it was to
be manumitted in nine years. In the Oswego
Herald, 1893, appeared this advertisements

cook and ready at all kinds of housework.
None can exceed her if she is kept from
liquor. She is twenty-four years of age
no husband nor children. Price 5000. Inquire
of the printer"
From the beginning of this century. owing
to the Manuinission act of 1899, the price of
slaves decreased. In 1901 William Patter
and Mary, his wife, purchased their freedom
for $400. Z negro nineteen years old
brought in Rockland county, March, 1909,
$3.50, and finally negro woman, aged
thirty-seven with all the rights of her pres
ent mistress had to the servieesof her child
ren, was sold for 100.-Magaziae american
