NEW YORK, March 10 0-Tne Western
Union executive committee is expected to
recommend today the regular Il. por cent.
Dividend. There is reason for believing
that the statement tomorrow will show
earnings somewhat better than those for
the same quarter last year, but not quite
the full amount of the dividend. Direc-
tors say that the cost OF operating this
winter has been rather less than usual on
account of smaller damage from sleet
storms.
So far In March the earnings OF Rock
Island are about the same as they were
last year. In the last few days there has
been some improvement in the corn move
ment. The Rock Island dividend which
will probably be declared this week will
unquestionably be the regular l2 OF one
per cent.
Brokers in Sugar said the trading was
without significance. There was no
effort either to buy or Sc on the divi-
dend: There was perhaps little covering
for Washington account. Directors told
friends yesterday that there had been no
thought of an extra dividend and they
did not believe there would be any extra
dividend in June.
T. j. Bache d Co. say: "The Albion
Paper Company of Springfield, Mass, has
failed and the liabilities are stated at
$500, 600.
Raw Sugars are a shade weaker, refined

"Was there ever city destroyed by ST.
lence?' Is the question VIII ich young
friend of the Gossiper asks. There is
story 10 that effect which may be found
in some of the older commentaries onVir-
gil, but it has generally been agreed as
apochryphal. Amyclae, near Sparta, In
what is now known as the Morea is the
city referred TO. According to the story
the people OF that city were greatly In
dredd OF the Spartans, but as many false
alarms had been raised OF the approach OF
the foes SO much feared a law was passed
that any person spreading such rumor
in future should be punished by death.
But one day the Spartan army came. Those
who first saw their approach were afraid
TO make known the fact lest the death
penalty should be imposed upon them,
so the Spartans took the city gates and
held them before the Amyclaeans were
aware OF their danger. Then followed
the destruction OF the city, and, though
the story is as, previously stated, looked
upon as apochryphal, its ruins may still
be seen in the Morea.

Richard b. Comstock, who grew red In
the face and fought hard to down John

During the caucus there was no fun un
til Hogan was nominated for representa-

Then, with all due respect, as Mr.. Com

ter was the man to teat Hogan out Of hi
boots, according to Mr.. Laffey again, anc
those interested were informed that the
First Ward didn't count In the discussion
at all.
