STOCK MARKET WAS WEAK.
Reported Shipment of Gold to Europe
Caused Decline.

New York. May 25.-The holiday abroad
and the closing Of the London Stock Ex-
change had a tendency TO reduce busi-
aess in stocks here this morning. Again
,ocal Operators were inclined TO trade
cautiously, as they have not heard finally
as yet from the Mckinley management
as to the latter's financial views
The tone OF the market after the opening
was rather weak on the engagement OF
81, $50 900 gold for export to Europe to-
morrow and to the impressions that the
shipments to-Gerrnany and France may
reach 100000 this week.
The decline in the first half hour ranged
from 1 -ito 3-4 per cent, outside of Tobacco,
which lost point selling down to Sc l Il.

Judge Griggs, Silver Record.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The Constitution is not disposed to
interfere with district congressional
politics, but we cannot forbear express
ing regret at the unfortunate COntro-
yersy which has arisen between we'll
known free coinage leaders in the Sec
Ond district.
In the controversy between Col. Wal
tiers and Judge Griggs we have no part
to take. Both are good men, and it is
to be hoped that peaceable and salts
factory conclusion will be reached by
which the point at issue can be adjust
ed in manner which will meet the APP
prevail of the democratic masses of the
district.
1t is but matter of justice to Judge
Griggs, however, to say that the state
ment that he has not been a steady and
an answering advocate of the free
coinage of gold and silver does him
serious wrong. He was a member Of
the national democratic convention of
1892, being one of the delegates from
the second district, and in that con-
vention was one of the few delegates
from Georgia who refused to accept
the financial plank offered by the plat
form committee, on the ground that its
language was equivocal and susceptible
of miscOnstructiOn. He voted for the
Patterson amendment, declaring out
right in favor of free coinage, and this
amendment would have been adopted
had it not been for the fact that the
plan reported was argued to be such
an expression in favor of free coinage
a to make the amendment unneCeS-
sary. AS has been demonstrated, the
vote of Judge Griggs for the amend
ment was in the nature of wise
prophecy.
We make this statement without en-
deavoring to prejudice the controversy
between Judge Griggs and Mr.. Wal
tiers, and it is made simply because, the
information being in the knowledge of
The Constitution, it is but matter
of justice that1t be given to the public.

WARNS THE CABLE SLOT.
Man With n New Kind Of Job Aroused
Interest In Broadway.

A new vocation came into existence
last night with the cold weather In the
future the man who adopts it will be
known as slot warmer The Metropol-
itan Traction company put its first
slot warmer to work at O'Clock last
night, at Thirty fifth street and Broad
way, where the gripmen on the Broad
way railroad pick up the curve cable.
1t was the slot warmer's duty to see
that the cable slot at the Thirty fifth
street curve was kept clear Of ice. Once
the slot had frozen over and caused a
block on the line
The railroad managers decided that
such thing should never occur again,
and the slot warmer was put to work.
Armed with bag of cotton waste and
can filled with kerosene oil he started
a bonfire along the up town track. The
FIRE was 25 feet long, and burned con
tinually over the cable slot
From time to time the slot warmer
kept feeding the fire with fuel from his
bag OF cotton waste and can of oil. Pc
destrianS stood and watched his actions,
wondering what he was doing, and the
passengers in the cable cars left their
seats and stood up, just a little bit
frightened, when the car dashed around
the curve and over the flames The slot
warmer said be had been employed to
keep the fire burning all night. New

were dining with an American woman
in honor Of her daughters just an
nounced engagement, and among the
guests were Frenchman and an Eng
hshman. When the fruit was served,
the Frenchman took some, but didn't so
much as taste it. The Englishman, it
so happened, did the same. The hostess
apparently did not notice this, however,
and partaking heartily of the fruit her
self she presently observed, with true
American frankness, How delicious
those grapes are, don't you think SO,
monsieur The untouched fruit was as
plain as daylight on the Frenchman S
plate, but without a culver he replied
courteously, Truly, madam, they are
the most delicious l have ever tasted. ;
The hostess then turned to John Bull
and said, Don't you agree with us.
NO., growled the Briton, I don't. /

AN EVERYDAY EVENT
BUT THE POLICEMAN IN THIS STORY
is A HERO.

Tried to Stop Maddened Horse and Had
FrightfuI Ride-sayed Ernest Smith,
Who Was Rooted to the Spot With
Fright, From Almost Certain Death.
A runaway, which commenced at the
lower end of Central park and terminal
ed at One Hundred and Thirty-frst
street and Seventh avenue, New York.
was attended with numerous exciting
incidents, the most prominent of which
were the bravery of policeman and the
almost miraculous escape of a resident
of Harlem.
The horse which caused all of the ex-
citement was being driven through Cen
trail park by Otto Bellmund, when the
| bolt which connects the front wheels and
the shaft of the wagon came out. The
wagon, which was still attached to the
rear wheels, parted from the shaft and
the front wheels with such suddenness
as to throw Bellmund out into the road.
The horse started off at a breakneck
pace. The animal had clear road all
the way through the park and finally
dashed out of the Seventh avenue en-
trance at One Hundred and Tenth street.
Then it increased its pace as it went up
Seventh avenue, and the pedestrians
along that thoroughfare scattered in all
directions
At One Hundred and Thirtieth street
Policeman Daniel Nealis jumped out in
to the roadway to stop the horse. AS
the animal dashed by him the officer
jumped into the air and grasped the horse
by the bit.
The horse ran along faster than be.
fore and dragged the policeman. Nealis
held on for life, and occasionally as the
horse lifted its head the policeman would
hang in midair for a moment.
Ernest Smith had seer the policeman
grasp the horse by the bride from where
he stood, at the corner of One Hundred
and Thirty first street, and became fair.
~ rooted to the spot AS the horse ap-
preached, dragging the policeman, Smith
found it impossible to stir, and a cry of
horror rose from those in the street as
they saw the horse take to the sidewalk
just at the point where Smith stood.
Nealis, seeing that Smith would prob
ably be killed unless quick action was
taken, let go his hold on the bride with
one hand, and as the horse reached
Smith he struck him in the face with
his clinched hand and knocked him sew
eral feet away, thus saving his life.
The next moment the horse crashed
into the storm door which extends
about four feet from the main entrance
to Henry Hainhorst's roadhouse on the
corner. The collision shattered the glass
Of the door, and as the horse struggled
to free himself he fell in heap.
In moment the policeman was sit
ting on his head. A number of persons
rushed up and assisted him, and soon
after the horse was locked up in stable
in the rear of the roadhouse.
The policeman, who had been bruised
about the head and body, returned to
the station house, where his injuries
| were dressed. Then, after half an hour S
rest, he went back to his post. New

Wonderful Invention.
G. D. Vaughn. manager of the West
ern Union Telegraph company's station
at the foot of West Fifty fifth street,
New York, says he has about completed
an invention by the use of which it will
be possible to telephone across the
ocean. He says that with the use of his
invention he has distinctly heard, over
a wire, the ticking Of watch 1900
miles away.
1.-THE reason it is impossible to tele-
phone more than a thousand miles by
the Bell method" said MIR. Vaughn,
sis because the induction coil and trans
mitters now in use will not stand a
greater electric power than six volts
coming from four cells. After years
of experiment / have succeeded in
perfecting an improved combination of
induction coil and transmitter that will
permit the use of 40 or 90 volts and
about 35 to 40 cells.
Mr.. Vaughn said he would apply to
the Western Union company soon fol
permission to experiment over thei1
wires. New York World.
