NEW YORK MARKETS.

NEW YORK. y. y, April 24.-The bull move
rnent on the Stock Exchange which has been in
force for some weeks past has occasionally shown
a reactionary tendency, but has not met serious
setback before to-day. 1t must not be understood,
however that the entire market has given way, or
that the bottom has fallen out Of the market, but
nevertheless it is fact the result OF to-day trad
ing is depreciation in values OF the active shares
with very few exceptions, and the heaviest suffer
ers are such speculative leaders as the coal stocks
and the grangers of the railroad group and Chicago
Gas and Cordage of the industrials.
There was special reason for the depression in
the coaers which is to be found in the decision Of
the presidents OF the anthracite coal roads made TO-
day 10 absolutely refuse the demands OF the Read
ing conpanY and 10 suspend the negotiations look
ing to an amiCabIe settlement of the percentages
question. The movement in the coal stocks has
since the beginning OF what IS known as the presi-
dents conference been largely dependent upon the
favorable reports Of the progress OF the conference
and the breaking on the negotiations naturally
caused liqudatOns. The decline in the CHANGERS
stocks was largely in sympathy for there was no
news in the street affecting these properties ana
selling was believed mainly Tor the purpose OF
profit taking.
Realizations were also in order in most of the
other stocks which have been in line with the adj
vance from the column Not that the selling was
all for the purpose OF taking profits. for shorts TAX
ing advantage OF the situation, put some lines
during the late afternoon and materially helped
the downward movement. There were no evil
dences of weakness at the opening of business the
market being active and strong. but the dealings
gradually assumed a heavy tone, and rallies and
out the day the declining tendency being most
marked in the final dealings, the market clos
ing decidedly heavy.

dimensions, with some irregularity in the specula-
tive issues. The closing sales, however. were in

THE SECOND ATTEMPT FAILS.
Difficulties of Erecting a Light House at
Diamond Shoals.

WASHINGTON, July 9-From obser-
vations made by the Light House Board
1t appears that the second attempt to
erect a light house on the dangerous
Diamond Shoals, off Cape Hatteras, n.
O., has failed. Just what steps will be
next taken to guard the Important
coastwise traffic against the perlls OF
this place-a veritable graveyard of
shlps-has not been determined. These
shoals lie off Hatteras about ten miles,
and IN bad weather, when aids to navl-
gaGlon are most necessary, the power
tul Hatteras light is unable to cast it's
warning beams far enough out to sea
20 guard against disaster to ships.
some years ago the Light House Bureau,
0DCalnlng a large appropriation from
congress, made a contract with an eX-
perlenced firm of light house builders
20 erect a light house on these shoals.
plan OF construction was to sink
vast cylinders of heavy boiIer-iron
down through the water and the many
1eet OF shifting sand below to bedrock.
Ihese cylinders were to be filled with
concrete, and made practically a solid
rock, upon which the light house Yves
to be erected. The contractors took
the job at their own risk, but after
NO-0 CA Ol4S4N0 dLG6lllDHS
they threw up the work.
Last year the Light House Bureau
undertook the work itself, this time on
a new plan, This was based on the use
of heavy iron piles, driven by hydraulic
jets deep down in the sands. through
which the seas we're to be allow e / full
sweep, while the light house perched
far above the waters on top of the
piling. A few weeks of fine weather
last fall enabled them to put in a quad,
rangular pyramid, upon which super
structure was erected, and at this point
the fall storms came along, and work
was suspended for the year. But when
an inspe ction was had recently, pre-,
paratOry to resuming the work, it was
found that the great ave had played
havoc with this structure. Nothing
remaining of the superstruCture, and
the piling that stood was twisted into
corkscrews The effect of the eurges
on the iron work was sufficient to con
vince the inspectors that no structure
of the kind could stand against it. The
piles appeared to remain firmly in the
sand at the bottom, but at the surface,
where they received the full swing of
the waves, they were carried away,
and could not be maintained by any
device.
So the Diamond Shoals light house is
still a p oblem for engineers. The
difficulties that thus far have been en-
countered far exceed those overcome
in the case of the celebrated Eddystone
light.

WENTY WERE KILLED,
An Excursion Train Telescoped and
Many Injured.


CRAG>s ROAD, Quebec, July 9-In
the early hours of this morning there
occurred an accident on the Grand
Trunk road, at the station here, that
has S 3ldom been excelled in horror by
any similar event in Canadian railway
annals A special excursion passenger
train, rushing along in the darkness of
the early morning, crashed into an
other train of the same preceding it,
and killed-just how many Is not clear
ly known at present-but some twenty
people are believed to be dead, and the
wounded are numbered in the vicinity
Of twoscore.
The two we're special excursion trains
en- route from SherbrOOk, Richmond
and Windsor Mills, to Lewis, where
they were to cross yer to Quebec, and
proceed to the shrine at ST Anna le
Baupre, and were following one another
with an interval of some twenty min
utes between them. The forward train
was making good time, having lefG
Richmond at 10 o'clock the night be
fore. On the rear of this train was a
Pullman, in which were the priests and
others in charge of the party, and it
was in this rear car that most of the
loss of life occurred. The first train
reached this station, which is fourteen
miles west of Lewis, about 3 o'clock,
and stopped at the tank to take water,
Due precautions we're taken, and the
semaphore thrown to danger against
the following train. Only the trainmen
we're out and about attending to their
duties. The Pullman in the real was
wrapped in silence, and the sleepers
were unaware of the terrible fate that
was rushing upon them.
Suddenly there was a great crash,
the second train coming at full speed,
had dashed into the rear Pullman of
the first section. So great was the i'm
petus of the colliding that the engine
embedded itself in the palace car and
the latter plunged forward and par
