Speculation Was Principally in the
Industrials.
new YORK CITY AND THE GAS TRUST
Gossip Of the Street in Regard
to Sugar.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, November 30.-Today's
short speculative session was devoted prin-
cipally to the covering Of short contracts
in the industrial department, fluctuations
in railway shares being of secondary i'm
portance and void of significant feature.
London was fractionally irregular and had
few important orders in the local market.
The short interest in Chicago Gas was
pressed hard by friends Of that property
identified with the new reorganization
scheme. A liberal buying demand immedi-
ately after the opening received fresh i'm
petuS from the room element and was not
checked until gain of 1-2 per cent had
been recorded. The legal difficulties eN-
pectad to have been interposed by the state
auth orities seem less threatening, and on
this assurance today'S movement was in
augurated.
Sugar advanced IL per cent on good buy
ing, in which both accounts were said to
be represented. Some difference of opinion
as to the natural tendency of the stock at
this season is reported to have arisen be-
tween two rival operators, who seek to con-
troll the deStinies of any property in which
they may have a tranSitory interest. The
result of this contest is of little Signifi-
canoe, If true, the price of the stock in the
long run being certain to assume only such
proportions as are dictated by the powerful
inside interests.
able to lower prices. and with a repetition of
all other familiar devices such as the clos
ing down of refineries and mysterious fears
of what Congress may do, it is not likely
that the customary bear campaign will be
overlooked.
The large holdings which have heretofore
been accumulated prior to an advancing
market have cost considerably under par,
in majority of instances, ard as yet no
such opportunity has materialized for the
duplication of holdings marketed at the high
level last spring Until evidence of these
repurchases are forthcoming rallies of short
duration are all that long account has to
rely upon for profit.
Western Union gained l per cent in SYM
rathy with the liquidation of short ac-
counts elsew here.
The bank statement reflects a further
large contraction in loans, which is its most
ursa tisfactory feature. The decrease of
nearly two millions in legalS is less than
was generally expected in view of the heavy
gold shipments at the close of last week.

SMOKED THE TIN FOIL,
What IN Alderman Did Mt a banquet
Given in Milwaukee,.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The Chicago council members who re-
manned at Milwaukee to attend the semi
centennial banquet, smile every time they
think of one of the aldermen of the cream
city. He is little. man with serious face
and a glittering eye. The cigars passed
around after the menu had been exhausted
were wrapped in gold foil, and presented an
imposing appearance. This alderman took
one and after observing its size and bril-
liancy he put the small end in his mouth
and bit it off. Then without removing the
foil he took a taper from the hands of a
waiter and set fire to the semi-centennial
loren, and proceeded to smoke with the air
of a man who was at peace with all the
world.
The cigar burned slowly and it emitted
an odor which would have caused suspicion
of fire in the room if more than half the
guests had not seen the cause. The alder
man, however, was apparently oblvious of
the fact that he was doing something
which was making him the cynosure of all
eyes, and he continued to puff away at the
golden cigar with a calm dignity which soon
reduced it to a stump. And even then,
though there were other cigars, the Mil
waukee alderman chung to his torch, and it
emitted the same odor of burning gold foil
that is as disagreeable as it is pungent
The Chicago aldermen smiled, and thought
that Milwaukee was a nice place. while the
Milwaukee colleagues said nothing un til
they got the offender of aldermanic dignity
out in the street after the banquet was
over,

FATAL ACCIDENT.
SchOOlboy Meets His Death I'm IL Pecu-
liar Way.

AS the result of an accident about noon
yesterday, William C. Murdoch, jr., an
eigkt-year-old boy, was injured 10 such an
extent that death ensued six hours later.
The lad was the son of Charles w. Muir
dock, of the supervising architects office,
Treasury Department, who resides at 1903
Howard avenue, Mt. Pleasant. In company
with Walter Cox. young Murdoch was play
ing on an improvised merry-go-round near
his home, when the affair toppled over and
the unfortunate lad was pinned down by
heavy plank.
Cox removed the plank, but as Murdoch
lay grooming and bleeding, he became
frightened and ran for assistance. A let
ter carrier, B. +. Martin, happened to be
passing, and he carried the unconscious
boy into neighborng sanitarium. The lat
ter was later taken to the home of his par
eLts, where DIR. Ford Thompson and sew
eral otner surgeons endeavored to save the
life of the boy. All efforts proved futile,
however. and death occurred shortly after
o'clock.
The deceased was the only son of Mr..
Murdoch. and started to attend school at
the opening of the present year. The par
ents were completely Frustrated with grief.

A NEW ANAESTHETIC.
The Use of n Combination OF Pure
Oxygen and Ether.

The Use of n Com binatiOn of Pure
Oxygen and Ether.
From the New York Tribune.
Experiments are being made by two we'll
known physicians in this city with a new
anaesthetic, by the use of which they hope
to do away entirely with the many danger
Gus and nauseating effects of anaesthesia as
produced by prevailing methods. The COM
ponent parts of the new discovery are pure
oxygen and ether, and it is sserted that by
a proper combination of the two a person
may be put into state Of insensibility for
operating purposes without fear of a possi-
BILE fatal termination or any immediate de-
Utilization of the system.
The combination of oxygen and ether, its
ir PRODUCERS hope soon to demonstrate to the
medical faculty, will ohviate the extreme
pallor or suffusion of the face and the weak
ness induced by the means now used to de-
prive people of the sense of feeling. While
the doctors who are working to perfect this
new process of anaesthesia refuse to give
sny details Just now for publication, on the
plea that 1t is yet only in it's experimental
stage, they declare that they have used it
in several operation cases with the most
satisfactory results. One of the doctors in
tereSted, who does not wish his name to
appear in connection with his theory until
its truth Is practically assured, said Ito a
Tribune reporter yesterday:
I'VE have administered the anaeSthetic to
several persons in the present year, and in
rot single case has it been attended by
sickness or nauseating symptoms percep-
tible weakness of the respiratory organs or
the heart. Very often, under the prevailing
system. stimulants have to be administered
or injected in order to keep life in the pa
ttent. But in the cases to which have Just
referred stimulants were not once found
necessary. A short time ago I operated upon
my little boy and as an anaesthetic gave him
this mixture OF oxygen and ether. His ap-
pearance under it's influence was Just as if
he were peacefully sleeping and within two
hours afterward he was around playing with
his TOYS"

Wrecked by a Blast.

Residents in the vicinity of the union
depot in Georgetown were startled this
morning about II o'clock by an unusually
loud blast, and when investigation was
ma de it was found that the engine which is
now engaged in doing the work of excava-
ton for the foundation of the depot had
been partly wrecked by conclusion, while
the shed which had been erected over it
was a mass Of debris. The blast was reg
uiar one. and no one was injured, but why
il should have wrecked the engine and shed
the way it did will remain a mystery. The
engine belonged to Mr. killen, who is now
doing the work of excavating. The wreck
age was cleared away in a few minutes,
however, and the work proceeded as usual.

CAPTAIN BUBB's CONDUCT.

Department.

Serious Charges Filed at the lnerfor
Department.
CHICAGO, November 30.-A special from
Spokane. Wash, says:
Charges Of a serious nature have been
filed with the Interior Department at WASH
ington against Capt. John w. Bubb' the
Indian agent, stationed at Fort spokane.
Thev are in reference to the tronbias ne,
tween the white settlers and he ka!ispei
Indians which, it is alleged through MS
action last summer, almost caused an up
rising and massacre of the whites.
Practically the same charges as filed with
the department were filed at the land office
here, when six of the settlers made formal
protests against Capt Bulbs allotment OF
their lands to the Kalispell Indians.
In these affidavits the settlers allege that
his unauthorized guaranty to these Indians
tfat if the settlers did not move out peace
ably from thier homes government troops
would be sent in to drive them out, so IN
cited and emboldened the reds that they
committed numerous outrages, and MADE II
extremely perilous to remain, and In con-
sequence they were obliged to flee with
their families, leaving everything behind.

The statement is made in a Venezuelan
