provement in the character of the market,
manipulation being in strong relief The
movement was sluggish with sagging ten
dency the greater part of the day and the
afternoon operations were characterized
by Il belated rally on covering of short
contracts The real drift of affairs specu-
latively was again more clearly defined in
the bond department than in the stock
movement. The early London cables re-
ported a lower market for American Sc
curitics but later advices from that centre
received just before the opening here evi-
denced Il change~~of front. y well defined
suspicion developed early that the higher
prices for Americans in London had been
engineered from this side or in other
words'that the familiar rigging" process
had been worked by powerful banking in
terests. The advance in the prices halted
after the initial dealings and the market
became almost stagnant, prices, however,
easing off, Gradually. There was no news

New York, July 30-The steamer Mas
sachusetts. of the Providence Line, ran
into and sunk the two-masted schooner
Nandalia, near Cornfield Shoals, Long ISL
and Sound, at , o'clock this morning.
The Nandaia's crew. numbering ten per-
sons, were picked up by the Massachu-
setts and brought to this city At the
time of the collision there was dense fog
on the sound and those on board the Van
dalia say they blew ..their horn but were
not heard. The Nandalia was almost cut
in two. Mate Cortez. of the Vandalia.
tells the following of the sinking of his
vessel:
About quarter past one this morn
ing, we were steering northeast by east
with fair wind and going about ten
knots an hour. Our lights were burning
brightly. The morning was clear; there
was no fog. We could see at least one
mile. AT 30 we saw the Massachusetts
bearing down upon us, apparently under
full steam. | saw that it was evitable
that she would cut us down. | ordered
all hands routed out and the boats low
cred away. The Massachusetts struck on
the star quarter, cutting off our stern.
The schooner filled and sank so quickly
that We had no time to save anything.
The Nandalia sank i'll about twenty faith
oms of water
Captain Griffin, of the Massachusetts,
says that at the time of the collsion.there
was dense fog, and that the cutting
down of the fisherman was unavoidable.
The schooner sank within seven minutes
after the collision. The Massachusetts
was uninjured and none of the passengers
on board We're aroused by the collision.

moors, and they say: "Poor man, to
have to go out on such a stormy night
1t is dark and you will lose yourself on
the moors. " ooh, no, he says, II will

the brambles and waited for the horse

containing the death warrant of Sir
John Cochrane. The mail carrier spur

cause of what had occurred on the for

the darkness there was flash of fire.
arms and the horse became unmanage
able, and as the mail carrier discharged
his pistol in response the horse flung
him, and the disguised wayfarer put his
foot ON the breast of the overthrown
rider and said, Surrender nowl' The
mail carrier surrendered his arms, and
the disguised wayfarer put upon his
shoulders the mailbags, leaped upon
the horse. and sped away into the dark
ness, gaining IA more days for the poor
prisoner, Sir John Cochrane, and before
the IA days had expired pardon had
come from the king. The door of the
prison swung open, and Sir John Coch-
rane was free. One day when he was
standing amid his friends, they con-
graduating him, the disguised wayfar-
er appeared at the gate, and he said,
admit him right away" The dis
guised wayfarer came in and said,
Here are two letters; read them, sir,
| and cast them into the fire.. d" Sir John
Cochrane read them. They were his
| two death warrants, and he threw them
into the fire. Then said Sir John Coch-
rane: "To whom am indebted? Who
is this poor wayfarer that saved my life!
| Who is it?"
A Death Warrant From Heaven.
And the wayfarer pulled aside and
pulled off the jerkin and the cloak and
the hat, and, 10! it was Grizel, the
daughter of Sir John Cochrane. ezra
cious heaven!" he cried. my child, my
savior, my own Grizell" But more
thrilling story. The death warrant had
come forth from the king of heaven and
earth. The death warrant read, "The
soul that sinneth, it shall die. " The
death warrant coming on the black
horse of eternal night We must die
We must die But breasting the storm
and putting out through the darkness
was a disguised wayfarer who gripped
by the bride the oncoming doom and
flung it back, and put his wounded and
bleeding foot on the overthrown rider.
Meanwhile pardon flashed from the
throne, and, Go free Open the gate
Strike off the chain Go free And to,
day your liberated soul stands in the
presence of the disguised wayfarer, and
as be pulls off the disguise Of his earth
ly humiliation and the disguise of his
thorns and the disguise of the seamless
robe, you find he is bone Of your bone
flesh of your flesh, your brother, your
Christ. your pardon, your eternal life.

JOHN ONEAL FOUND GUILTY.
lie Who Took WachhorStS Tray Of
Diamonds.
Will be Sentenced on Saturday tor
Burglary in the First
Degree.

The case of John O'Neal, alias Hol-
den, for burglary, had a rather sudden
and unexpected termination In Judge
Hmkson's court yesterday, with the re-
suit that the prisoner was found guilty
of burglary in the first degree.
O'Neal is the man who smashed In
the window of Wachhorst JeWelfy
store on the evening of September loth
and stole tray of diamonds. The tray
gave him a full hand, but he was made
to lay it down Con the sideWalk), and
some fellow with a bigger hand got
away with the pot. At all events,
O'Neal was captured and held to an
swer, and his case was called Tor trial
yesterday
District Attorney Ryan conducted the
prosecution, J. D. Long of San Fran
cisco defended O'Neal, and the jury
that heard the evidence and found the
prisoner guilty was composed of G. A.
Burns, B. c. Pennington, John Charles,
S. H. Pugh, F. L. Dean, Theodore Lab
hard, L. r. Davis, Daniel Foley, T. L.
Acock, C. Iser, w. B. Oldfield and w.
G. Graf
The case has attracted much inter-
est, as the robbery was the second one
of the kind that had been perpetrated
on Wachhorst, and the courtroom was
filed with spectators.
The testimony offered by the prose
cution was substantially the same as
was given at the preliminary exami-
nation. The same statement applies to
the defense, for no testimony was Of
fered by O'Nears attorney on either
occasion.
When District Attorney Ryan an
nounced that the prosecution had con-
Guided its case, Attorney Long con-
suited for a moment with his client
and then arose and informed the court
that he had no testimony to offer on
behalf of the prisoner, and that he was
willing TO submit the case without ar
gument.
He appeared to be somewhat sur
prised when Judge Hinkson asked him
If he had no instructions prepared that
he desired to have read to the jury. He
replied that he had none, and would
leave it to the court to instruct the
jury.
Judge Hinkson then instructed the
jury that they could not find a verdict
of burglary in the second degree-that
they would either have to find verdict
of guilty of burglary in the first degree,
or acquit the defendant.
The jury were out only ten minutes
and returned with a verdict Of guilty
of burglary in the first degree.
O'Neal closely scrutinized the faces of
the jurors as they took their seats in
