ward, there was sold on this nal =
ket upwards of 10000 pounds.
The large amount that was
brought here Tuesday was
thought to have been all that
was ready for the market within
a radius of several miles of this
city, but the heavy "breaks"t that
have occurred every day since
have proved that such con-
lecture was without founda>
ton. The prices all along have
has been SO satisfactory that there
has been little disposition on the
part of the most fastidious to re-
ject the offerstendered. Those who
haye sold tobacco elsewhere say
that the prices on this market
are equal to, and in some ins
stances in advance of other
markets in the State. Twenty
dollars was the highest figures
reached at the sales to>day.
The recent arrival of several
more buyers on this market has
made competition more brisk and
the planter is made the bene>
ficiary.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, May 20.--The specula-
tive movement to-day was almost en-
tirely based on professional opera
tons and manipulation by the inside
interests in Sugar against the shorts.
The dealings in the last mentioned
stock comprised over 81, 900 shares out
of a general aggregate of about Ill.,
900 shares.
Sugar early in the dealings receded
small fraction to 1870, but later was
rushed up 2 Sd per cent to 1.22 Sd.
The movement impaired some sympa-
thetic snap to the general list and
fractional gains were recorded.
The market during the greater part
of the day was in a condition of semi
stagnation, but prices were well-main-
tanned. The absence of any selling
pressure revoked favorable commis-
sion. The late dealings were marked
by decided firmness. Speculation left
off strong in tone, with top prices
ruling.
The market for railway and miscel-
Ianeous bonds was without important
features.
Governments were moderately ae-
tive, but steady, with transactions of
$4,000. -
State bonds were quiag, dealings be-
ing confined to $4,000 of Virginia Cea-

MOVES TOWARD INGALLS,,
One or BurG0n's StrOngest Supporters
Forced to Desert Him.


J, Ralph Burton has met with politi-
cal reversss in Finney county, and Rob-
ert W. Hopkins, whe was one of his
staunch supporters year ago, has been
forced to come cut for John J, Ingalls,.
The Republicans of Finney county, in
convention assembled, adopted resolu-
tion without a dissenting vote in favor
of Ingalls, for United States senator.
Hopkins, who was a member OF the
house in 1895, is now a candidate for the
senate. He appeared before the conven-
tion and pledged himself to work for In
gals and do all ia his power to secure
his election. He said that he supported
Burton last winter, with the idea that if
western man we're chosen then, it would
leave d clearer field for Ingalls, in 1897
He read letter from John Seaton of
Atohison, received at the opening of the
session, in 1895, assuring him that Ingalls,
would not be a candidate till 1897 He
did not espouse Burton's cause till he had
received this assurance.
D. w. Pitts of Garden City, clerk of
the district court of Finney county, said
in an interview that 80 per cent of the
Republicans of his section were for In
gals. He said that on the ballots used
At the county primaries there was a
blank space left for each voter to record
his choice for United States senator, and
10 far as heard from Burton had rsceiv-
ed only one vote. Ingalls, received the
rest. MIR. Pitts said that Milt Brown.
who was defeated by Hopkins, was an
ingalls, man, and the nomination of Hop
kins was horalded as a Burton victory
but the facts were as herein stated.

A BURGLAR SHOT,

Omcer Owen Fires az One i'm Coli.
sis Store But He Gets Away.
Police Officer J. c. Owen fred three
shots at burglar in the grocery store of
L. T. Collisi. at S36 Nsrth Kansas avenue
about 2:45 Sunday morning, but the
man, although hit, escaped. He jumped
head foremost through thick glass in the
front door to get away.
Owen was making his round through
the alley between Quincy street and
Kansas avenue, when he saw a man i n
Collisi's store The burglar saw him a.
the same time, and ducked behind some
barrels. The policeman blew his
whistle for Officer Lucas TO come up to
the front door, and thus surround the
criminal.
His brother officer did not appear, and
Owen tried to crawl through the hole
which the burglar had broken in the
back window, but could not, and then
attempted to break open the back door,
but it was barred. The officer then shot
through the window between the bar
rels
This reused the burglar pretty quick
ly, and he started for the front door as
fast as he could run. Owen worked b lie
80 Smith 81 Wesson with all the
rapidly possible, and shot twice through
the glass of the back door before the
burglar jumped headforemost through
the panel of glass in the north front door
of the store. The glass was shattered
from top to bottom.
BY the time the officer ran around to
Kansas avenue, the man was out of light,
but in the morning he was tracked by
spIotches Of blood across the street. up
the stairway and through the hall in the
building occupied by the New York
store, and as far as the corner of Morse
and Jackson streets three blocks from
the scene of the shooting.

The weakest voice which ever called
session OF the district court was that of

JUDGE HAZEN'S VIEWS
On q Mortgage Question of Con.
siderable Interest.


siderable Interest.
Judge Hazen this morning made his
first ruling upon question upon which
the supreme courts of different states
differ.
1t was in the case of Mary F. Smith
VS.. Alice Zane. The proposition was:
"If there is a mortgage upon property
for which the owner is not personally
liable, then does the buyer, if he assumes
and agrees to pay the mortgage, become
liable for it," In other words, can the
grantee become responsible for the pay
ment of mortgage when the grantor
was not.
Judge Hazen said: "Thsre can be no
reconciliation of the decisions on this
point Illinois and Pennsylvania hold that
the grantee. or buyer, is personally liable.
New York, Ohio, New Jersey and, &C
cording to my reading of the decision,
the supreme court of the United States
hold the other way. l think our own
supreme court has gone as far on this
question as it cares to, I think the bet
ter reason is with New York, Ohio aud
the others. Unless the grantor is per-
sonally liable for the mortage the
grantee does not become liable for it by
assuming thepayment in the deed.
