No Doubt About lincoin's Resigna-
tion From Chicago Gas.
Special TO The News.

NEW YORK. July 0.-The feeling on the
stock market Is moderately bullish, and those
people who know the inside working of the
late bond syndicate say there Is positively no
doubt but that the Rothschilds and Morgan
parties are IN sympathy with tho bull move
mont, and that they VIII do their Lowell bost 10
put American securities ON that basis OF
credit TO which they belong. The outlook for
dividend-paying shares l. better than IL was
in early spring. and the Improvement in
business warrants the expression OF opinion
that, povidod no serious damage comes TO the
corn crop. dividends will be increased in the
very near future, certainly upon st. Paul,
Rock Island and likely on q. g. q.

this year will be better than they were in

There is little doubt that President Lincoln
OF the Chicago Gas Go. intends to resign.
mediately or in the fall Is not clear. The
matter of his successor has been under con.
sideration. but IL IL stated, without result.
bull pool was made mp in Gas last week, but
II Is understood to have been somewhat disap-
pointed at the character of the buying. Ii Is
not improbable that the Standard OH interests
may intend TO reappear in Chicago Gas, but
their failure To get the liquidation desired
made a complete change Of plan necessary.

A Dishonest nnnk Cnshinr Cnnfesaes.

COLUMBIA, Pa, March S.-Thomas M.
Grady, cashier of the First National bank
of Marietta, is a defaulter for an amount
exceeding $4,000. He confessed his crime
and furnished SIS, 900 bail for trial. The
money went in stock speculation. The
money was taken by making false entries,
taking deposits from depositors and fail
ing to give them credit for the money and
in drawing drafts and failing to enter
them. Gradys bondsmen are all moneyed
men and fully able to pay the amount OF
the defaulters bond, which is $4,000. The
defaulter is making some restitutions from
his private funds, so the bank will lose but
little or nothing by its cashier dishonesty.

ID bitterly Denounces Ministerial
Scandal Monger.
WAsHINGToN, April s. S--When the report
If a speech made in a Methodist confer
snce at Salem, Mass, by Rev DIR. Lansing,
and his subsequent published interview,
accusing the president of intemperance,
was shown to Mr. Cleveland he said, with
considerable warmth: "This is simply an
outrage, though it is not the first time a
thing Of this kind has been attempted. l
cannot avoid feeling of indignation that
any man who makes claim to decency,
and especially one who assumes the role of
a Christian minister, should permit him
self to become IL disseminator of wholesale
lies and calumnies not less stupid than
they are cruel and wicked
Il easily recall other occasions when
those more or less entitled to be called
ministers Of the gospel have been instru-
mental in putting into circulation the
most scanddlous falsehoods concerning
my conduct and character For the sake
of the Christian religion l am thankful
that these scandal mongering ministers
are few and on every account am glad
that the American people love fair play
and justice and that in spite of all effort
TO mislead them they are apt to form {
correct estimate of the character and ljt
bors of their public servants"
