 New York, Dec. 16-Stocks were irregular during the early trading at the stock ex- change, but in the main the market showed mare resistence than yesterday. The op- ton was paid to the Cuban question. In fact the resolution introduced by Senator Morgan yesterday was practically ignored. Following the opening there was attack on Burlington and Quinck, Manhattan and Spirits, preferred, which resulted in break of 1892 per cent. in these issues Burling-- price for long time, and Manhattan sold as low as 20, ex-dividend of lla per cent The heaviness of the last named was due in a measure to the circulation of a rumor which could not be confirmed that certain holders of the Metropolitane Elevated first and second mortgages intended to ask the courts to prevent the payment of dividends on Manhattan stock on the ground that they had not been earned The general list was effected by rumors of probable exports of gold later in the week. The fact that monety commands comparatively high rates abroad while here it goes begging at 1l@ per cent. lends character to the story. For eign exchange Is also much flrmer on ac- nection with the January interest and div fdend payments due abroad.

IS KNOWN IN TUCSON.
Hystrum, the Wife Slayer, Formerly
 Lived in the Old Pueblo.


 A. c. Hystrum, the railroad man who killed his wife at the City of Mexico on Monday last, is well known through southern Arizona and especially in Tucson. Several years ago he married a daughter of Dan Walsh of Tombstone and had two children by her. This is the woman whom he almost decapi- tated
 At the time of his marriage he was brakeman in the employ of the South srn Pacific company and was a witness in the great suit of Tomlinson against the Southern Pacific company in 189O After the matter had been finally ad- indicated in the courts, Brown was pro- noted to conductor of a freight train. He was a reckless man and his train ran over and killed a man for which he was held responsible and which caused him to leave Tucson for Mexico where he secured employment on the Mexican Central.
 His wife remained in Tucson until few months ago, when she went to the City of Mexico to join h.m. Hys- trum became jealous of his wife and the matter terminated on Monday las. when he nearly cut her head from the body.

SHOCKINGLY INJURED.
A Miner Seriously Hurt by Prema-
 ture Explosion.

On the northbound train at Kirkland valley Wednesday noon was placed a wounded man, for carriage to Prescott, there to have surgical attendance. His name was Edmund L. Drury. One side of his face had almost been blown off and his arms, hands and body were dreadfully mang,ed He still lived, but it was believed his chance of life was small. The story of his injury was told by T. J. Arnold, owner of a mine at Pbaceritas, dozen miles from Kirkland.
 Arnold and a party of searchers found Drury about 8 o'clock Tuesday night, the poor fellow having crawied several hundred yards from the scene of his hurt and still retaining con sciousness enough to call to the men whose footsteps he heard.
 Drury, who was just barely con scious, told that he had been fixing a cap on half stick of giant powder shortly after commencing work Mon day morning when the powder explod- ed in his face.
 He had been alone thirty-two hours when found and the serious character of his wounds had been aggravated by screw worms.

 There will be no contest on this point in the convention. There may, how ever, be a lively fight on the question of adopting instructions to the Ma tional delegation relative to ibolting. Extreme free silver advocates are in flavor of sending tn etdlelegates to Chi cago instructed to bolt if the National convention does not declare uneau.vo- cally for free silver. There is on the opposite side strong feeling against bolting under any circums tancss.
