NEW YORK, Oct. 23-one Of the prom

situations and the European attitude to-
ward American securities he had made
up his mind that this week was the time
to acquire certain line OF stocks to be
added to as the season progressed. lie

earnings have turned for the better with q
comparatively small amount OF grain

will be hauling corn and Will be busy
with that crop for the next IL or 10

Transactions in Louisville Nashville
were the largest of the day, IL, $50 shares.
Quite part of the selling was credited
TO Mr.. Keene, who was understood to
have given out orders through one OF his
brokers. London houses sold early and
bought later. No special reason was
assigned for the selling. The market
came very near being without form and
void. The Industrials, l. & n. and n. q
r., made the fluctuations. The ordinary
feeling last night was that the fiuctua-
tions were likely to be very narrow and
that the first considerable movement
seemed likely to be down rather than up.
Northwest figures for June, July, Au-
gust and September, 1895, are understood

terest for the four months, the 3i2 per
cent. for the preferred stock for six

the temperature being SO high that it
was not only uncomfortable to be in
the sun but extremely dangerous. Many

the hot wave invaded every place.

hundred people being crowded aboard.
Some OF the passengers became appre-
hensive and came ashore here. The
electric cars carried largo numbers
down that road. About seven o'clock a
refreshing wind sprang up from the west
which afforded temporary relief, but
when it subsided general discontinue
again prevailed. The churches had
comparatively slim crowds at all the
services. Rev. DR.. Walker conducted

UNLICENSED Does.-A list of persons
who have paid their licenses on dogs is
published in to-day's GAZETTE. That
the list fails to have on it
the names of hundreds who have
dogs is apparent, and Others owp-
ing dogs have taken out but
one license. The City Council in pre-
pairing the license have reduced the
dog tax from $225 to S1.50, and yet
this year only $50 licenses have been
issued. For years past to 1894 the
average was $50, and it appears that an
effort is being made to eyade the tax
this year. How far this will succeed
remains to be seen, as the policemen
will be furnished with the list and in
structed toreport all deliuquents, when,
in addition to paying the tax, they will
also be fined.

FAINT in pitiaole state, the flesh vast
ing from its bones and apparently the
victim of cruel neglect. The mother of
the child is hersslfeI girl in her teens.
The officer ordered those having it in
charge to procure medical attention at
once, and also to give the babe an air.
ing and some sunlight which the child
seems to have been deprived of since it
was born. The neighbors say the babe
ID kept in an unventilated upper room.
