NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, October 2l.-The stock

and Bay state Gas all being prominent
in the downward movement.
The bulk of the selling was considered
TO BE- for professional account, although
II WAS generally admitted that there was
some genuine liquidation by tired-out
holders. This was considered as being
particularly true In the cases OF the BIZ

break was attributed to sales by marsl-
ginal and other holders who had lost
money on the bull side in cotton. Read
ing was depressed by rumors that the
assessment on the securities will be larger
than has generally been expected.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

A terrible accident occurred at Falls
Church Saturday about 5 o'clock p. NJ,
by which Miss Maud Summers, a young
lady of sixteen, came near losing her
life by one of those unfortunate acct
dents which the careless handling OF
firearms so often causes. 1t appears
that Miss Summers was visiting her
sister, Mrs. Jennie E. bernstein, dur
ing the absence of the older members
of the family, and Sigel bernstein, q
young man of about the same age as
the unfortunate young lady, was hand.
ling pistol, and remarked, 81 believe
will go out and shoot at cat,n when
she, laughingly, remarked, Suppose
YOU shoot me-" 10 moment a report
was heard, and she fell to the floor, Sc,
riously shot. The young man in tax
ing the pistol, which was self-acting,
from his pocket had caught the ham
mer in some way with his clothing, and
tho pistol went off, with the unfortun-
ate result. The ball struck Miss Sum.
mers in the groin, and the attending
physician probed for it, but it could not
be located. The pistol was good size,
of 80 caliber. The young people thor
oughly frightened, at once went fol
o, ighboring physicians, and Doctors
G. B. Fadeley, A. S. Boswell and T. G.
Quick were soon at the bedside of the
sufferer and rendered all the aid that
medical skill could devise. DR.. Talbot
the regular physician of the family, also
soon arrived and took the patient in
charge. 1t is feared that portion Of
the clothing entered the wound and
may give trouble, otherwise no serious
results are apprehended. Sunday even
ing DR.. n. F. Graham was called in by
the attending physician, and the two de.
cided to let the ball remain. While
suffering considerable pain, the young
lady is doing as we'll as could be ex.
pected. The family and friends are
greatly distressed at the occurrence
and especially the young man who was
the innocent cause of the accident.

wheu the civil service rules went into

vided between the two parties, but as
they were all filed with republicans,
