MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review.

New York. Sept. 15-The stock mar
ket opened decidedly stronger on the
Maine election andl higher cables from
London. The prominent issues ad-
vanced about a point, the shorts being
the largest purchasers. When the de-
mand from this source abated the
traders who We're bearishly inclined
for the moment started in to sell. In
the absence of support they had little
difficulty in bringing about lower
| range of prices. There was also con-
siderable selling by holders who were
disappointed on account of the rather
| feeble response made by the market to
yesterdays election in Maine and this
| was of assistance to the bear manipu-
lators. Tobacco bore the brunt OF the
| attack and fell to 59H. Sugar fell
nearly per cent. on the declining
| tendency of the market for raws, while
| Chicago Gas was adversely influenced,
| dropping rs by Chicago advices that
Attorney General Maloney had re-
newed the fight against the company.
The Granger group lost A@25s, the lat
ter in burlington and Quincy. Man.
haitian fell 2. Western Union a, and
| Missouri Pacific 1. Rumors of an ad-
vance in the Bank of England rate of
discount on Thursday and of the en-
barrassment of big dry goods firm in
this city We're used against the market.
The reports of trouble in the dry goods
| trade however could not be confirmed
At the decline there was moderate
buyers of the dividend payers, due to
statements that commercial conditions
| in New England We're improving report
said that number OF mills employing
| about 1000 hands intended starting up
shortly. This was not without its in
| tluence in some quarters. In the late
trading the Changers weakened again
under pressure and speculation closed
| barely steady in tone. Net changes
show losses of as@27s per cent.

MIR. REYNOLDS COAT.

The FranklinS met last night but
nothing startling was done. No new
names were proposed as was iui.lJrc1
to be the intention of the a;ority.
There was much heated discussion and
would legally proceed against tl,tsn
members who invaded his hOmr Men
day evening and attempted to tale
from it a quantity of goods. 1t seems
that Thomas Allen and William Ehne,
of the company, sworc out Il search
warrant before Alderman John for
certain parts of n fireman's paraphar-
MALTA. which Mr.. Reynolds had refused
to surrender to the company when he
was expelled at former meeting. AL
len and Kline wished to search Rey
nolds' home on South Main avenue.
Thus the warrant was issued and con-
stable John Davis and Mr.. Allen en-
tered the house. Mr.. Kline stayed out
side. Mrs Reynolds was the only
one ut home and she told the
men that they had better wait
until her husband returned. How
ever, the constable and Mr. Allen
ransacked the house. In an upstairs
apartment they found Mr.. Reynolds
parade coat. The men We're about to
leave the house with the garment in
their possession when Myron Evans, a
chcrk in Feinberg's drug store, who
had been called by Mrs. Reynolds. ac-
costed the constable and Mr.. Allen. Mr..
Evans quietly expressed his own in
dividual opinion that the search war
rant was illegal as it specified stolen
goods. whereas no proof was at hand
that the goods has been stolen. The
constable and Mr.. Allen seemed to see
the point and they departed. leaving
the coat behind. For these ''outrages"
Mr.. Reynolds threatens to envoke the
aid of the law. He has consulted an
attorney.

Poisoning Dogs Is Again the Rage in the
Twentieth Ward...Miss Heffelfin-
gers Surprise Party.

Every now and then places become
greatly annoyed from the number and
undesirable kind of dogs which can be
found on the streets. Not long ago
some one undertook to exterminate
with poison all the dogs he believed it
would be service to rid the community
of Meat on which large doses Of
strychnine were sprinkled, he would
leave In convenient places for them to
eat. but he took particular pains to
spread some daily for one particular
dog owned on Pittston avenue in the
Twentieth ward. But the time went on
and the brute is still alive, although it
must have swallowed enough poison to
kill a car load of horses.
The poisoning of dogs in the Twen-
tieth ward is again on. and some valu-
able ones have been destroyed. by eat
ing the stuff thrown unfortunately
around 1t Is causing a good deal of
Indignation.
