COL. FCRNEY'S CASE.
The Court-Martial Recommends That
He Re Rcnrim;i nucd.

The record of the court-mart!al in the
case Of Col. James Forrey of the marine
corps recently tried at New York. was
made public by Acting Secretary McAdoo
toGay. He was charged with falsehpod,
embezzlement, making and using false
papers and culpable inefficiency in the per-
fcrmance of duty. He was found guilty of
the last charge, bit the court substituted
neglect of duty" for "culpable inef.ici-
ency." The charge of embezzlement was
partly proved, and the other two charges,
with their several specifications were not
proved. According to the findings of the
court, Col. Forney's neglect of duty con-
sisted in his failure to have furniture from
apartments vacated by officers placed in
proper custody, and to convene a board to
make an inventory of them, and in falling
to keep correct account of all the public
property at the Brooklyn marine barracks,
for which he was accountable The verdict
OF not guilty was rendered with regard to
the direct charge of enlbeZzement but the
court found that Col. Forney had applied to
his own use a certain amount OF coal be-
longing to the government.
The sentence of the court was that Col
Forney be reprimanded in general orders
by the Secretary of the Navy, but SO far
these findings have not yet been acted upcn
by the Secretary.

VICTIMS, BODIES RECOVERED.

boss who were killed in the explosion in
the Dorrance mine last night were recov-
cred early this morning.
A party of rescuers, headed by Foreman

The corpses were burned almost beyond
recognition. Fire Boss Davis and Engineer
Owens were literally roasted, and Cahills
body had large cash on the forehead, evil
IDENTIFY from the force of the explosion.
The men were killed by the force of the
explosion, and all died nearly in the same
spot.
Up to Q am. no more bodies had been
found, and it is now believed the list Of
dead will be confined to the following:
William Jones, mining engineer, aged
thirty-two years.
William Cahill, mining engineer, twenty
one years old, single.

which it is held covers this case is found
in Webb's Digest, having been enacted to

a violation of law, but provided no penal

FINANCE AND TRADE
Interest in Speculation Confined to
the Room Element.
SENTIMENT STRONGLY OPTIMISTIC
Railway Shares Irregular Through
out the Day.


NEW YORK. October s.-Interest in spec
| ulation continues to be confined to the local
| room element, prices in consequence being
misleading from the standpoint of merit.
The failure Of arbitrage houses to estah-
fish a satisfactory market for the secur-
tiles bought at the close of yesterdays
business, resulted in a lower London mar
ket this morning. and forced a sympathetic
decline on this side.
Values improved fracticnally from the
! opening level. in a majority Of instances.
but the buying was neither significant nor
aggressive. The situation Is not promising
| to immediate activity, and a waiting mar
ket with at least a steady undertone Is
likely to prevail for an indefinite period.
The general prosperity Of the country,
which must eventually find reflection in
stock values. will act as a deterrent to
airy extended depreciation and will attract
new buying in all concessions. Transac-
tons in the long account, under existing
conditions, would in all probability repre-
sent an unnecessary expenditure of in
terest without jeopardizing the opportunity
for bargains.
The tendency toward a more active
| money market and higher rates for de-
mand loans may force some selling of
weakly held securities, but such action
would prove beneficial to the general stu
alton. Securities margined closely TO the
market are always menace to values at
a time when money rates are subject to
radical fluctuations and are easily forced
out. either by legitimate or manipulative
action.
Sentiment is strongly optimistic at the
present tfme however. and an additional
l per cent in interest rates will not pre-
vent the accumulation Of cheap stock by
investors with good prospects of a satisfac-
tory yearly balarce sheet in their COM
mercial transactions. Within the next few
weeks the results of the years business in
the mercantile world may he accurately
estimated. and il Is safe to assume that
the present purpos aless trading Will give
way to demand from investors immedi-
ately upon the determination Of such re-
suits.
The railway shares throughout the day
were Irregular, opening at fr lctional de-
c.ines and advancing under later buying
for both accounts. The movement in this
department was absolutely without feature,
the trading element arguing that an adj
vance Of fractional proportions was justi-
fled by yesterdays decline
Chicago Gas was the feature of the trad
ing. liberal selling forcing decline of 3-4
per cent -
The motive for the movement in this
property Is ascribed to the uncertainty
relative to the success of the new reor-
ganization plan and the reported sales for
inside account.
Sugar was advanced l per cent under a
good volume Of business based on estimated
earnings. The Withholding of inside sup

greSs Is the one obstacle in the way of sus-
tained Improvement in this property
The last hours trading was unchanged in
character, the bulk OF the dealings being
