GENERAL MARKET REPORTS


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, April 24.-In sympathy with
higher London prices our market opened
fractionally higher. but almost Immediately
sold on under q renewal OF short selling.
The buying for foreign account was on a
liberal scale, but was more than offset by
the sudden revolution in local sentiment.
Strikes. present and prospective. play an
important part in speculation at the mo-
ment and are employed by the bears to de-
press values. There is no pressure OF long
stock however. and the amount OF bor-
rowed stock, with which deliveries have
recently been made. has assumed such large
proportions az to warrant predictions OF a
rally at the expense Of the shorts before the
week closes.
The grangers were moderately active on
lington lost "a per cent. Rock Island 10
and st. Paul 3-s. Brokers for prominent
bear operators were active in putting out
lines OF the above stocks ana seemed con-
fdent OF their position.
The general list was dull and inclined to
sell OF fractionally. The coal stocks are
generally regarded as too high to hold
under the existing depression In the coal
trade and lower prices are expected to
attend revival of activity. These stocks
are largely held by investors, and IL is
doubtful IL bear tactics will prove superior
to the attractive dividend rates attached
to the high-priced members of this group.
The industrials overshadowed everythine
else, both In point Of activity and the ex-
tent OF fluctuations. In the present market.
unfortunately, activity IL an unsa ttsfactory
equivalent for depressed values. Distillers
was most conspicuous losing per cent as
the result Of an adverse decision in their re-
bate suit. The full significance of this &C.
ton 10 only appreciated by insiders, who
consider II one Of the most severe legal
blows yet aimed at the earning capa city Of
that company. National Lead was weak at
decline OF l per cent. owing to reduced
rates for white lead by competing compa-
MES outside OF the trust
General Electric declined 81 per cent
under continued bear selling. Chicago Gas
was strong on early trading, selling I'D to
81 1-2. but sold down later under G6 on
operations by the room
Sugar was barely steady around 81, ow-
Ing to the rumors of q proposed amend
ment to the tariff bill reducing the rate
OF duty tribe under the limit asked for

insiders are supporting the price, how
ever and continue confident Of final re-
suits
The last hours trading was dull, with

desk to have read a series of resolutions
passed at mass meeting in St. Louis, No.,
last Saturday. declaring Chas. F. Joy to
have been Illegally deprived Of his seat as
Representative from the eleventh Mis-
souri, district Before the first whereas
had been read the nature Of the resolutions
was developed and Mr.. McMillin CTenn }
raised the point that they did not involve
q question of privilege.
The Speaker held that as the O'Neill-Joy
election case had been adjudicated Mr..
legged status. Mr.. O'Neill, the subject Of
the attack. demanded the floor as a matter
OF privilege and was proceeding to reply to
the imputation that he had obtained a
seat 10 which he was not entitled, when
Mr.. Wise (Va-) raised the point that Mr.
ONein was also out Of order. The Speaker
sustained the point. but MIR. O'Neill would
not down. He harangued the House while
the Speaker was vainly endeavoring to
restore order. He offered to submit the
question Of his election to a special COM
mittee and abide by its decision. At last
the Speaker was forced to order Mr.. ONeill
to take his seat.
The Post once Appropriation Bill.
The regular order was then demanded
and after the call Of committees the House
went into committee Of the whole and re-
sumed the consideration Of the Post Office
appropriation bill, which was interrupted
by the enforced absence of Chairman Hen
derson On. CT.
The pending amendment was that Of Mr.
Kyle (Miss) to strike out the appropriation
for the fast southern mail. Mr.. Kyle con-
tinued his remarks in opposition to the
appropriation.
Messrs. Myer and Robertson of Louisiana
and Mr.. Hooker Of Mississippi warmly sup
ported the appropriation. They contended
that the south was entitled to this fast mail
service. which placed the northern malls
In New Orleans six hours earlier than ever
before and In Texas twelve hours earlier.
To deprive both of this service, Mr.
Hooker said. would seriously cripple the
commerce Of the whole southern country.

SHOTS IN A COURT ROOM.
Michael Donnelly Fired mt His Former
Partner.

"AcnoeA OOnmelly F1Reu Mt HIS Former
Partner.
NEW YORK, April 24-Three shots from
revolver were fired this morning in the
court Of common pleas in the presence Of
Judge Bischoff. Not one Of them took ef-
feet and the man who did the shooting is
under arrest. He Is Michael Donnelly, an
iron merchant of 81 Leroy street The
man at whom the shots were fired IL p. ].
McArdle
Donnelly was the plaintiff in a case
against McArdle. They had formerly been
partners and the suit arose over some
partnership accounting. In court this
ly gave no signs as to what he was about
to do. Suddenly he pulled a revolver point
ed 1t point blank at McArdle. and fired.
The uproar in the court was terrific The
Donnelly had fired three shots before he
was arrested. Then he was rushed around
to the city hall police station. McArdle
was untouched.
The action was brought by Donnelly for a
partnership accounting. When Judge
Bischoff rendered a decision this morning
Diminishing the complaint. McArdle, with his
son. started out the court room. They had
to go by Donnelly. who sat somewhat back
Of them and further from the door.
As they passed Donnelly drew a pistol
and fired point blank at the head of Nc
Ardle The instant the shot was fired Nc
Meanwhile Wales T. Severance counsel for
Donnelly. grabbed him with both arms
about the neck. Before he wrested the pis,
toll from him, however, two more shots were
fired, but they struck the ceiling The first
shot grazed the ear Of McArdle, abrasing
the skin.
McArdle got up on a half crawl, while the
second and third shots were being fred, and
scrambled out Of the court room at a break
neck speed. He was shouting and groaning
and believed that he had several bullets In
his body.
Donnelly. still struggling with Lawyer
Severance. was placed under arrest by Po-
liceman McQuade.
Speaking with the reporters afterward
McArdle said: "Donnelly, since we dissolved
partnership. has threatened my life. He is
at the present time under indictment in
Albany fo- crtminally libeling me. He has
told people that he would shoot me- and
was not altogether surprised when the bull
lets came. There was something funny,
however. when the Judge dived under the
desk. Although I was laboring under the
intense excitement. this incident did not
escape my eye. 1t was a critical moment
when Donnelly pointed his revolver at me
and began to blaze away. did not retreat,
but grabbing q small table, raised 1t a. q
shield"
Donnelly was held for examination.
