HEAVY FOREIGN PURCHASES
London Traders Give Life to Dull
Market in Wall Street.
DIsrILLING MAS STILL WEAK
Belief that the Agreement with the Distribute
ing Company is Favorable Light Volume
Of Local Purchases -specialties Erratic in
Their Movements-st Paul in Demand.

New YORK, March 27.--Wall street-It was
very dull day on the Stock Exchange, and
the trading was less important in character
than for some time past, the only feature oil
moment being the foreign buying, which was
in contrast to the light volume of the local
purchases. ST. Paul was the favorite of the
London buyers, but Atchiscn, Louisville and
Nashville, Northern Pacific preferred, and
Kansas and Teqas held their own places. The
market opened strong at an advance on yes
terday's closing prices of 1s@% per cent,
the latter, Northern Pacific preferred, which
was bought by the arbitrage houses.
The early dealings were somewhat irregu-
lar, the active list being fairly steady. but
some Of the specialties were erratic in thei,
movements. After midday the market be-
came more settled in its movement, but as
the afternoon grew. heavy tone overspread
the declines and prices moved downward, the
market closing heavy, with prices on both
sides OF the line as compared with the final
sales OF yesterday. In the advance column
We're Erie preferred, 2 per cent; American
tobacco preferred, rs; lead, common, ls,
and do. preferred. l per cent.
The shares which were most prominent in
the decline are: st. Paul and Duluth, Ia
Susquehanna and Western preferred, II
New York, Chicago and st. Louis, first pre-
ferred l. Long Island. per cent. Flint and
Pere Marquette preferred. sold at 45, against
55 the last preceding sale. Chicago Gas lost
Is per cent. on the day on Sales mainly by
room traders, there being no supporting
orders in the stock.
Distilling was also weak. being sold as on
yesterday because OF belief in certain quar-
tiers that the agreement the distributing CON-
pany is not favorable to the distilling CON-
pany. The agreement has been signed by the
officers OF both companies.

THE sLASHER IN COURT.
Held on Fourteen Charges at $1,000 foI
Each Item

Held on Fourteen Charges at $1,000 for
Each Item.
George Taylor, the colored vandal, was
yesterday in Judge Miller's court to answer
fourteen charges OF burglary The court
room was full to overfiowing with curious
people of both sexes who were anxious to set
their eyes on Jack the Slasher'' His vari-
time to time. caused reign of terror in this
city for many weeks.
The prisoner was taken to the court from
the First precinct station this morning, and
placed in a cell with two or three other in
mates. He paid 40 attention, however, to
his mpanions. but appeared to be very much
frightened. and begged the officers not to let
the crowd hang him.
A few minutes after II O'Clock Judge Kim
ball took the stand. as Judge Miller had been
one of the victims of tha ''Slasher." When
Jack" was called before the bar OF the court
he approached very SLOWLY aad fear.ully. His
face bad not been shaved Tor weeks and all
his articles OF apparel were very much dilapi-
dated.
And, although he had stolen thousands of
dollars worth OF ieweiry and other property,
he appeared more ike 4 tramp than pros
porous thief. or like the neat looking boy he
used to be down in Virginia.
The prisoner feiSned insanity, and it was
some time before he could be induced to talk.
In answer to the first charge he at first an
swered Il don't remember" but the judge
told him he would have TO plead one way or
the other; and he finally pleaded not guilty.
The evidence was then heard in the case. and
the second charge against him was read.
To this also he pleaded not guilty, but in
two out of the fourteen cases his memory
seemed to be all right, and he pleaded guilty.
After the eases had all been called Judge
Kimball stated that 81 900 bond would be re-
quired in each case. and in default OF the bail
the prisoner went to jail.
Taylor is . thick set. stolid. unintelligent-
looking parsonage. and there was a general
expression OF surprise and disgust among the
audience that such character could have
eluded the people and the authorities for so
long time.

and Brass Buttons.
Milton F. Chamberlain, the boy from
Georgetown; charged with assault and at
tempt to rape upon Elsie E. ough and Annie
Drury in last December. was up for trial in
Judge Coles criminal court on Monday after
noon.
The testimony OF several witnesses, includ-
ing the boys school teacher and his employer,
was heard. all of which tended to prove an
alibi, and that he had never worn the blue
coat with brass buttons as described.
Testimony in regard to the character Of the
defendant, by those who said they had never
heard his character discussed, was rejected
by the court on an objection from the district
attorney.
Chamberlain. the defendant, took the
stand and testified that on the days in ques-
tion he had worn black suit, and had never
worn n blue coat with brass buttons, and did
not assault either of the girls, and one of them
he did not know until the 4th OF January.
Mr.. Darlington offered the informations
which had been filed in the police court. ac-
quitting him of the charge of assault, which
offer was was ruled out.
