NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Today's stock mar

OF business. The declining movement was
due to realization of profits on yesterday s
sharp rally and was not taken on the street
to mean any new favorable phase in the
situation. Further weakness was apparent

money were not stiff as heretofore Lon

Business was not well distributed as on
Tuesday, but Sugar and st. Paul sustained
their relative positions as leaders in point
OF activity. There was no news of special
Importance bearing upon prices. The Indus
trials were the special objects of bear at
tack: The receipt Of lower quotations from
London encouraged a bear demonstration at
the the opening, and prices yielded all along the
Hhe. The industrials and international
snares were the chief sufferers. The reac-
ton was soon checked by the distribution of
supporting orders. A general rally occurred
partly due to further weakness in exchange
rates. me rally was short-lived however,
ano all business was considerably restricted

apparent, which developed into weakness and

WILL LAW 1T ALL OVER.
The Ramaley's Troubles Carried In
to Court Again.

The Ramaley family are going to
claw it, all over again. Yesterday
Sarah B and her husband, John D.
Ramaley, began an action in the dis
trict court to set aside Judgment OBJ
tanned against them by F. w. RamaIey
and his wife, Grace Ramaley, the son
and daughter-in-lay respectively Of
john d. Ramaley. The judgment was
entered against the senior Ramaley's
in a suit brought by them against the
junior couple, to compel the latter to
reconvey to the plaintiffs certain
property at White Bear lake, which it
Is alleged, the defendants held in trust
for the plaintiffs. In the former suit
the plaintiffs charged the defendant F.
W. Ramaley, with classifying his ac-
counts as trustee SO as to make it ap-
pear that his disbursements were some
$1,000 in excess of his receipts The
plaintiffs were unable, however, to sub
stantiate their allegations before the
referee, ]. G. Michael, to whom the ques-
lions of facts were submitted a year
ago for a decision, and accordingly
judgment was entered in favor of the
defendants.
Now the elder Rama1ey's file a COM
plant in new action, alleging that
they are in possession of newly dis
covered evidence, whereby they can
prove that the accounts of the defend
ants as trustees were falsiied as
originally charged.
The property in dispute consists Of
the we'll known Ramaley's pavilion at
White Bear and houses and cottages in
the vicinity. The complaint alleges that
in November, 1S93 the plaintiffs con-
veyed the property In question to F.
w. Ramaley and his wife, Grace

WHEN CHILDREN MUST PAY.
Circular Warning COnduc tors to En-
force Age Limit Rules.

Conductors and ticket agents have
become so careless in the matter of
carrying children over the age limit,
without requiring them to pay fare,
that the Trans-Continental Passenger
association has found it necessary to
issue a stiff circular of warning to those
supposed to look after the enforcement
of the rules. All the local offices and
the conductors have teen furnished
copies. The rules provide that children
under years of age, accompanied by.
parents or guardians may be carried
free, but that children over that age
and under II years, shall be charged
half fare, while children over Il years
of age must pay full fare The cir
cular states that Investigations have
recently been made in a quiet way.
with the result of showing that con-
ductors and ticket agents are getting
lamentably careless. Because of the
failure of ticket agents to collect prop
er charges at the time of issuing the
tickets, an undue share of RESPONSE
bility is thrown upon the conductors
The circular directs ticket agents to
inquire of purchasers of tickets whether
children will accompany the purchaser.

RYDMARCK WAS DISMISSED
But Man Who Sold Liquor on His
Island Was Fined.

The trial of William Rydmarck, A.
Davidson, N. C. Nelson, Nels Christen-
son and Hans Johnson, who were
charged with selling liquor without a
license on Rydmarck's island, occu-
pied considerable time in the police
court yesterday. The prisoners were
represented by Minneapolis attorney
and after hearing the evidence Ryd-
marck was dismissed, 1t having been
shown that he simply rented the island
to picnic parties, and had nothing to
do with the sale of beer. No decision
was reached at the morning session of
the court, there being some question
raised as to whether, under the COM
plant, the prisoners ought not to be
held to await the action of the grand
jury At the forenoon session Assist
ant County Attorney Donnelly said
the proposition made that the defend
ants each pay fine Of $500, had not
been agreed to by the attorneys for the
defense, and Judge Twohy accordingly
said he would fix the bonds Of each Of
the four defendants at $500, and allow
the matter to be considered by the
grand jury. The attorney for the pris-
oners demurred to this and plenty more
consultation was had. Finally City
Prosecutor Oppenheim explained to the
court that after a talk with the mayor
and captains Of police he was ready to
suggest that one of the men be fined
$780, and the other three be discharged.
Mr.. Oppenheim said he did not know
much about the case but the mayor
had expressed desire that it be set
tied this way, and if his honor and the
police were satisfied this way, he was.
Assistant County Attorney Connelly
said he had learned since the trial that
it was a city case, and whatever the
mayor wanted done in the matter would
be perfectly satisfactory to him. Ac-
ccrdingly Judge Twohy, at the sugges-
ton of the attorney for the prisoners,
selected Nelson as the mark and i'm
posed a fine of 500, which being paid,
the others were discharged.

NEW GLACIER FOUND
INTERESTING DISCOVERY MADE
NEAR THE GREAT NORTHERN
LINE IN MONTANA.
IT IS NAMED SPERRY GLACIER
AFTER THE DISTINGUISHED ONO
LECTURER, WHO WITH PROF.
A. III. PIERSON,
LOCATED THE LARGE MASS OF ICE.
Doings of a Day I'm Local Railway
Circles-InstructiOn for Carry
ing Children on Trains.

DR. L. B. Sperry, the noted lecturer
of Bellvue, Ohio, and Prof. A. H. Pier
son, of the chair of philosophy at
Mortified college,, returned yesterday
from a tour of exploration in the re-
gion Of Lake Mcdonald, Mont, on the
line of the Great Northern railroad.
The explorations were conducted by
the two gentlemen, covering a period of
six weeks, and there were several 9TH
ers in the party who merely went as
sightseers and tourists, under the
guidance of DR.. Sperry, who is a noted
mountain climber.
DR.. Sperry will soon prepare pa
per upon the result of his trip, and
it is known that the paper will be one
of Importance to those interested in
geological matters, and the formation
and lay of the Rockies.
1t is understood from reliable sources
that the doctor and Prof. Pierson dis
covered a hitherto unknown glacier
of great magnitude, laying high up in
a valley, which was almost impossible
to reach. The party agreed that the
glacier should be named Sperry gla-
cier, in honor of it's discoverer The
new discovery, while not as large as
some in the country, for instance that
at Laggan on the Canadian Pacific,
is of tremendous size. The Laggan
glacier is lower and narrower than
the new Sperry glacier, but the latter
Is supposed to be far deeper. The
details of its location, its elevation,
etc, will not be known until DR. Sper-
rvs paper is ready for publication.
The existence of the glacier was
suspected by the doctor a year or two
ago, when he was exploring in the
same territory. AT that time the party
made difficult climb up the precipi-
tous sides of a precipice over 5000
feet high. and came in view of
plateau of snow and ice beyond
mountain peak some miles away, and
at the end Of a valley of tremendous
size and depth. Unfortunately this
mountain peak INSTRUCTED a full view
of the plateau, which lay behind it.
Although the obstructing mountain did
not appear to be more than 300 or 400
feet high, at the time, the explorers
this year proved that it was over 900
feet in height. However, by perilous
climbing and a great of hard work,
the party secured a position from an
other point of vantage, and above aud
at one side of the intervening peak.
From here an excellent photograph
was secured. The doctor and party
were delighted to find that underneath,
the snow which covered the plateau,
there was an everlasting mountain
of clear green glacier ice. The attempt
TO secure pictures was hindered re-
peatedly by storms which ragged con-
tinually. The location of the glacier
is supposed to be above the clouds.
The Great Northern officials are great
1y elated at the discovery Of a gla-
cier along their line, as it will prove
drawing card to tourists of Alpine
tendencies. DR.. Sperry's paper will be
issued in week or two.

CORN AND OATS SOLD OFF Fol-
LOWING EXAMPLE SET BY

Fear of Possible Liberal Deliveries
Next MOnthgIsed as Telling
Bear Argument.

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-The speculative pro-
duce markets were weak and demoralized,
with liquidation, particularly of near by de-
liveries, the feature in all the pits. Wheat
for Sptember closed at 541sc, or Bc below
yesterday. Corn, oats and provisions all
closed lower. In wheat there was a pretty
good trade early. chiefly in the way OF liqui-
dation, after which the market became
little excited, the range for the day being
1B02c. Final figures showed a loss of 11a@2c.
The September liquidation was the feature,
the fear OF possible liberal deliveries the first
OF the coming month being talked of as one
OF the bear arguments. Corn was weak and
lower, September selling off to Csc; December
to 241sc and May to &c, final figures showing
a loss of 5s@4c. Oats were weaker and lower,
with the opening at the best prices and clos
ing at the lowest at a loss of %@1c. Trade
IN provisions was dull with fluctuations with
In the narrowest range. The most remark
able feature in the situation is the continued
demand for loose lard. Estimated receipts for
tomorrow Wheat, 10 cars; corn, 740 cars;
oats, 80 cars; hogs, 17,000
Leading futures ranged as follows:
