ANOTHER Cur IN SUGAR.-Sugar re,
liners yesterday dropped their card
rates on refined to basis of cents for
granulated. This brought the net
price 3.74 cents, the lowest on record
in the trade. Ever since the late re.
duction to Al cents the trade has been
operating cautiously in expectation OF
this cut to "even money" 1t is due to
dull trade and part to the continued
menace ofimports of foreign granulat-
ed, which can be laid down in New
York, duty paid, shade under 8 GIG
cents per pound.
The reduction had the desired
effect of stimulating demand, and
large sales were made here and
in New York, but after the trust
had booked as many orders as it
cared to take for prompt delivery
at the decline, the price was raised to
4 1-16 cents. The independent refin-
ers in this city pursued the same course,
ADD at the close of day all sellers were
qroting Lie cents, less rebates and
discounts, which would have made the
net price shade under $50 cents

Train Held Up.

HENNEssY, Okla, Dec. Hollow
ing closely upon the arrest of the men
suspected of holding up and robbing
the Texas and Pacific passenger train
at Mary's Creek, near Benbrook, Texas,
comes another bold piece of outlawry,
the plundering of another passenger
train in the same State. AT 11:5O last
night the northbound passenger and
express train on the Rock Island road
was stopped by three masked men
about one mile south of the Red river,
in Texas, and near the Indian Territory
line. The men compelled the engineer
and fireman to assist them in breaking
open the express car which they enter
ed and rifed. They then turned their
attention to the passengers, going
through the cars and robbing the pas
sengers of money and valuables. At
present the report is that about $500
was secured, together with several
watches. The passengers were awak-
ened and compelled to hand over other
valuables. Several shots were fired
into the train and two shots were fired
at Conductor Ramon, through the
door. Pullman Conductor Brown was
struck by bullet which lodged in his
leg. There were three robbers who
were masked aud after accomplishing
their work they left, going west.

Whale Captured.

SToNINGToN, Conn, Dec. IA
sperm whale, fifty feet long and weigh.
ing about seventy-five tons, was towed
in the harbor here by the schooner Mat
tie and Lena yesterday.
1t was captured by the Wilcox broth
ers, who spent several years on whal-
ing vessels. The whale was seen spout.
ing two or three miles offshore Sunday.
The Wilcox boys secured two old
whale boats, harpoons and lines, and
went out to capture the monster. After
several hours work they succeeded in
getting near enough to the whale to
drive harpoon into his body. After
the whale had run several miles it was
secured and fastened to the schooner.
During the fight the monster dashed
the whale boat, and struck Jesse Will
cox, breaking his right leg. The
schooner was obliged to lay-to all night,
during the gale, and could not bring in
the whale until morning. 1t is the first
one ever captured in this vicinity.

In the Senate yesterday evening Mr..
Morgan occupied two hours of the ses-
sion in speech in favor of the bill pro-
viding for the construction of the Mica
raguan Canal. He expressed himself
favorable to government ownership in
the enterprise, and declared that
prompt action should be taken, as to
abandon the project now would be a
dereliction the people would not forget.

transmit to the Senate the report of
the board of engineers on the proposed
bridge over East river to connect New
York and Jersey City.
The Committee on the District of

A PROPOSITION is now before Coz

A PROPOSITION is now before Con-
gress to appoint high salaried com,
mission" to investigate the remeoiai
characteristics of the 'anti-toxlne" al
legged cure for diphtheria. Some con-
eressmen seem to have gone clean oalt
on the subject of commissions. Ii the
remedial qualities of one quack medi-
cine demand expensive investigation by
a commission appointed by Congress,
why not those of all the others? Why
should an alleged remedy for diphthe-
ria, any more than one for consump-
ton, cancer, typhoid fever, or any OF
the other ills to which human flesh is
heir, be also investigated at public ex-
pense? If "anti-toxine" be speclhc
cure for diphtheria, some individual
will demonstrate it long before any
commission can do so, for in such a dis
coverv there would he millions.

THE MEssRs. Cramp have been paid
the price of the new government vessel
Minneapolis, and, in addition, the i'm
mense sum of $4,000 as premium for
increased rate OF speed, which, judging
from the experience of every other gov
eminent vessel on which speed premi-
ums have been paid, will never equal
that made on her trial trip. Most people
think nearly half a million dollars
would have been a pretty good price
for the ship without her armament, but
what must have been her cost, if that
enormous amount was paid only for
her increased speed2

THE FIDELITY CoSfPANY.-The FL
deity Investment and Trust Company
cases came before Judge Cox in Wash
:ngton yesterday, and two applications
for the appointment of receiver were
mnde. An affidavit of G. Hatley Nor
ton was filed in the case. He sets out
that he was appointed receiver on De-
cember 6 by Judge Hughes, of the
United States Circuit Court for the
Eastern District of Virginia, in the case
Of Ramsay vs.. the Fidelity Company,
and that under such order he gave
bond, took possession of all properly of
the company and discharged its officers
and agents in the District of Columbia.
A copy of Judge Hughes's decree &C.
companies the affidavit. Upon the
completion of the hearing Judge Cox
said he thought that receiver should
be appointed in Washington. and the
case was adjourned until to-day, when
a receiver will be appointed. It is un.
derstood that Mr.. John Joy Edison will
be the receiver.
1t is estimated that several thousand
dollars which had been deposited with
this company by Alexandrians, who
had saved from their earnings by strict
economy, will be lost to them-or a
great part of it at least.

VIRGINIA OYSTER GRoUNDs.-Capt.
J. B. Baylor, of the United States coast
survey, has completed the survey of the
Virginia oyster grounds, work which
it has taken him no little time to &C
complish, While Captain Baylor does
not expect anything phenomenal from
the oyster industry in this State, GER
tainly not within the next few years,
he believes that this Commonwealth
will now derive fair revenue from
her oyster beds. There will doubtless
be little trouble in the future with un-
lawful dredgers, and with such a pros
pect in view the thousands of acres of
oyster beds from which this State is
now not deriving cent of revenue will
no doubt soon be leased. Governor
O'Ferrall is determined that the waters
of this State shall be protected from un-
lawful dredgers, whether the violators
of the oyster law come from the Old
Dominion or from beyond her borders.
With the oyster navy now at his
command, he is in position to see that
the law is upheld, and every maraud-
ing vessel which now ventures into the
waters of this State does so at the risk
of either being captured or sunk.
Captain Baylor is spoken of in con-
nection with the office of fish commits
sioner, if such an Office is created for
this State, but it is hardly probable that
he would allow his name to be consid-
cred for such position while he is in
the United States coast survey service.

THE NORTHERN South.haters not
only continue to designate the soldiers
of the Confederate army as "rebels, !"
but, as one of their organs, the New
York Press, does, speak of the famous
ship Alabama as pirate" And yet
next to the Virginia, the Alabama
conferred more lasting honor upon the
naval seamanship of America than any
other vessel during the war between
the States. Pirate or no pirate, her
memory, and that of her gallant and
chivalrous commander, will live long
after that of those who would disparage
them has been obliterated.

INSTEAD of buying Christmas gifts
which many do not want to receive, be-
cause they now feel bound to recipro-
cate in kind, and which more can ill
afford to give, let both classes agree to
pay their debts next week, at least to
the extent of their ability. That would
be real Christmas gift, one that, like

ALL RIGHT thinking people will be
gratifed to know that Governor Flow
er of New York has sustained the man.
ayers of the Eimira prison in his State.
Some of the short haired women and
long haired men of that State, and the
so-called reform" newspapers in their
interest, accused the managers OF
"brutal cruelty" because they had the
lash applied to refractory inmates who
could not be brought to submission by
any other means, all of which had been
tried in vain. The whip is as effective
in prisons as in schools, and to its dis
use in the latter is justly attributed
much of the necessity for its use in the
former

last night an electric light wire fell
across trolley wire, and both were
burned through. Every electric light
in the city was suddenly extinguished,
until the defect was partially remedied.
At the opera house the accident
plunged everything into sudden dark,

treasured by Manager Williamson, and
remained quietly seated. The gas foot
lights were lighted and furnished light
enough to enable the performance to
proceed. All the trolley lines were
stopped by the accident for over an
hour.
