arces he made. He was generous and
whole hearted, and his death will be keen
ly felt by a very large circle.
Capt. Cash was soldier, and brave
one, in the confederate army, serving
throughout the entire war, and at its close
came to this city. He was one of the first
members Of the reorganized Washington
Light Infantry, entering as a private, and
rising by steady promotions to a captaincy.

company Of the w. L. I. corps, when 1t was
commanded by Capt. Burt Ross and this
company will be the escort at the funeral,
which will take place from the Gunton
Memorial Church at 4:30 o'clock tomorrow

Before his health became undermined
Capt Cash was one of the most expert
rlflemen in the world. and was member
of the famous American rifle team that
went TO England in 1888, and which was
distir guished by having three District gen.
tlemen among its twelve members, those

DEATH OF OFFICER ELLIS.
An Old and Efficient Policeman Passei
Away.


In the death of Samuel II. Ellis the police
force loses one of its best officers and one
who has seen long and hard service This
officer. who has rendered such valuable
yesterday morning. He was appointed a
member of the police force in 1866. having
come here prior to that time from St.
Mary's county, Nd. After three years
service he was ordered 10 do duty with q
colored man. the first colored man appoint
ed on the force, but rather than do this he
resigned Three years later President
Grant, who had interested himself in the
eX-policeman's behalf, took official action
which resulted in his reinstatement Later
on while doing duty in the first precinct.
IL fell to his lot to do duty with Policeman
John Bailey, colored and for several years
these officers covered the Division" beat
and succeeded in making II one of the most
OF derby beats in the city. The lawbreakers
there feared these officers, and when they
wanted one of them to answer a charge it
was necessary to only tell them they were
wanted at the station. no trouble being ex
perienced in making the arrests. After
years of faithful service, the deceased was
detailed for duty at the White House and
this duty at the door, 1t Is thought, gave
him cold. which eliminated in throat
consumption. He leaves a family of sew
eral children, one son being a member of
the police force.
Today Maj. Moore Issued an eulogistic or
der concerning the officers death and or
dered detail of twenty-four officers to at
tend his funeral His death makes room
for a promotion and appointment.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, May 1S.-The undertone OF
the present speculative situation is not en-
couraging and pessimistic theories are daily
multiplying. The gold outflow and doubt
as to the outcome Of the presidential con-
ventions are the chief sources of appre-
hension, and, unfortunately, no Immediate
relief is promised. The engagement OF ST.
100000 gold for export by tomorrowS
steamers and the probable engagement OF
large amounts toward the end OF the week
occasioned some nervousness among trad
ers during the opening hour. Fractional
declines were recorded N all departments,
the narrowness of the market alone re-
stricting the extent of the depression.
Rumors that a strong sound money letter
will shortly be given out with the ex-
pressed approval of the Ohio candidate
were selected by certain brokers as a
means for forcing a covering of room con-
tracts. The effort was only partially sue
oessful however, the skepticism recently
inspired by the lack Of frankress on this
subject having extended to all subjects
likely to arise during the campaign.
In the majority Of well-informed fnan-
cial circles any advance based on this
nonninatio.: will be utilized in the interest
of an extensive short accCCrt-
Manhattan was again the feature of the
railroad list at substantial decline from
last weeks figures. Opening at reduc-
ton of u per cent, a decline of III per cent
plished under a pressure of selling orders.
Long stock was marketed rather freely
during the early dealings. and is expected
| to be feature OF the trading in this prop
erty for some time to come.
| The reported leasing Of the 4th avenue
| by the Broadway cable materially increases
| the power Of the opposition lines. Unless
| radical changes in the direction of i'm
| movement are Immediately undertaken
| present prices cannot be considered perma-
nent.
| Sugar sold down II. per cent on transac-
| tons involving both accounts. A reduction
! Of Is per cent in the refined product was
| announced, which in connection with the
| yielding tendency of the general market at
| tracted sales by the room.
| The balance of the market was dull and
| void of significant feature. The evening VI
| of room contracts around delivery has re-
| suited in a complete recovery of the early
| fractional losses in some instances. while
| in others the more substantial declines
| were reduced within fractional limits.
With values in the present sensitive con-
| dition it is difficult to predict the immediate
| course of prices. 1t is generally conceded,
| however. that there is nothing in the out
| lock to warrant hasty purchases. Ordinary
| speculative factors are satisfactory, but
| with Congress in session and two conven-
| tons in prospect they are for the time be-
! ing d.Sregarded.
