BROKE CAMP SUDDENLY.

g F ' Two Boys Who Camped on Andrews
 Mountain Think They Heard That
 Bear.
 Paul Johnson and Carlton Green, two young boys, started to camp out on Andrews mountain few days ago. They pitched their tent near the sum- init, but remained there only one night They were well supplied with provi- sions, blankets, cooking utensils, etc, and were prepared to enjoy, to the full est extent, life in the woods
 The night was uneventful and the youngsters slept peacefully, being com pletely tired out after their laborious climb up the mountain side, carrying their camping outfit The next day was spent in various ways known to boys, and at evening they retired to their blankets to the sleep they so much needed.
 During the night they were awakened by what they mistook for growls, but which has since been discovered to be only the grooming of tree bending be- meath the summer evening winds. Inl- mediately all the stories they had ever heard regarding bears and other wild animals inhabiting the mountain came to their minds, and they smuggled be- heath their blankets, and with quaking hearts listened to the continued growl- ing.
 The suspense at last became unbear- able, and shaking with terror, the boys crawled out of their blankets, and as- certaining that the sounds apparently came from in front of the tent, determ- ined to make daring dash to escape. They quietly slit the back of their tent with a carving knife and then on hands and knees crawled forth, one armed with a carving knife and the other with a frying pan. On their hands and knees the two scared boys crawled for some little distance or until they came to the road leading down from the mountain.
 On gaining this they sped as fast as their legs could carry them back to Naugatuck, where they arrived shortly after midnight but joyous over having escaped the bear.
 Their camping outfit is still on the mountain, but even the promise Of new bicycle cannot induce them to go up after it, and for the rest of the sum- mar the only. can ping cut which they will do will be confined to their parents back yard.-Naugatuek News.

NRw YORK sToCK MARKET

New York, March 13.-The stock
market to-day displayed decreased ac-
tivity as a whole and the dealings for
the most part reflected adroit mani
pulation. The general tone was easier
and only three stocks deserved special
comment in regard to activity. These
were American Tobacco, General Elec-
trio and st. Paul. The bulls received
O setback from the outset from the
unfavorable character of the London
quotations, for American stocks and
moderate sales were made for that ac-
count in this market. The general list
was dull and lacked features, until
around 1880, when heavy purchasing
orders were distributed which sent
Tobacco up cents from the lowest.
The stock closed at about the top level
and per cent higher on to-day. 1t
was rumored that the manipulation
was to compel belated short interest
TO cover. The general market steadied
in sympathy with Tobacco and some
slight gains resulted. The closing was
dull and steady, at general fractional
net concessions.
Business in railway and miscellane-
Gus bonds was restricted to S874,000
This market was sympathetically af-
fected by the share speculations, but
the losses scored were light and mainly
confined to the speculative issues.

New York, March 13.-The course
of the cotton market to-day was irregu-
lar with volume of business curtailcd
by a ballot on the commission charges,
the purpose of which was to make a
uniform minimum charge of $40 for
outside accounts and S5 to members,
with severe penalties in case OF viola
ton. The measure was opposed by
most of the brokers and small traders
and was lost by fourteen votes.
The result of the ballot leaves the
members of the cotton exchange to
make any terms they may choose to
make with their customers. 1T is
claimed that the larger commission
houses will now continue to make
special terms with customers all over
the country with the result of bring
ing business to the exchange that the
arbitrary basis proposed would ex-
clude.
After an opening steady at partial
advance of 2 points the market de-
clined 4(05, but rallied after the ballot
was announced and closed steady at
sac points net advance. The Liver
pool adyices were quite as favorable
as expected in view of decline of the

Of life were not exaggerated. He believes
that there are at least $50 men in the freight

tion was that the Vandalla's property
in East St. Louis is very seriously damaged.
