MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall street Review.

New York. July S--The trading at the
New York Stock Exchange today was OF
u half-holiday character, the total sales
footing UP only l27,032 shares against "a
$50 shares yesterday. The market was
irregular throughout and at the end a
comparison shows that the leading issues
lost hali. per cent. on the days limited
business. The opening was irregular and
a rather unsettled feeling prevailed, but
later on. when 1t became known that no
gold had been engaged for shipment to
Europe tomorrow. the market strength
ened. Early in the week the street was
flooded with rumors Of the probable "x-
portion Of two to four millions Of the
metal, and sales for the short account
followed. AS there were no engagements
for Europe today, the early sellers en-
deavored to get back their stocks and
prices moved up !. to 2 per cent. In conse-
quence. Sugar, Western Union and the
Standard railway issues showing the
greatest recuperative power. The St. Paul
and Rock Island statement for the fourth
week and month OF June stimulated the
rise in the western railway issues. Lon.
don purchased about 5000 shares OF St.
Paul and other Issues listed abroad, but
the operations for foreign account had
less Influence than Of late. In the last
hour Sugar. which had advanced to 10.
suddenly fell to 1OSh. and this unsettled
the whole list. which closed barely steady
in tone.

Early yesterday morning the placid

the windows of the nearby houses soon

trouble was this: A tall oliicious young
man was trying to escort a short drunk
en- man to the police station. He had
no authority for the act. 1t was fun.
In dragging the drunk the young man
wrenched hard upon the others arm

WEST SIDE EVENTS.
Trouble Over Inability to Agree Upon the
Position OF City Lins...New Rule
Of Traction Company.

There's O deal of trouble in Traction
company circles at that point on South
Main avenue, where Bellevue Heights
people pay their fares. The trouble
ia over the whereabouts Of the city
line Bellevue people have an idea it
Is at the road near the Dodge breaker.
The Traction company seem to think
otherwise. In the months passed peo-
ple got on the city-bound cars at Belle
vue street, and even at the church
farther down. They then rode to any
point in the city for five cents, and
when coming back some rode to Belle
vue street or the church, where some
conductors stopped their car and al
lowed them to alight without any ex-
ira five cents.
But the Traction company has be-
come strongest and the people down
there may as well know that they must
drop into the new rules as gracefully
as fate. Now the conductors must col
lect fares when passenger rides over
the old city line even for a block. and
II any one gets on at Bellevue street
or the church he or she must expect
to pay five cents for his ride to the
Pleasant View hotel. There the Trac-
ton company again passes around the
hat.
On car 40. Taylor line. there is a
conductor who obeys the new rules.
as IL his life depended on this job
does. This particular conductor Is an
eyesore to the inhabitants. Last eve
ming several Bellevue young men got
on the car at Bellevue street. The con-
ductor Immediately collected fare of
one young man and the register was
one more to the good. The other new
passengers were accosted, but they re-
fused to pay and the car allowed them
to drop off just as the old city line
was reached. After passing Eynon
street the conductor made his new
round. When the young man was
reached there was a row, but he had
to pay another fare, and that, too.
within four blocks.

1T WAS ALL In JEST.
But This Marriage Knot Was Very
Securely Tied.
Young People for Lark Bind Them
selves to Each Other for Life.

wARRENsBuRo, Mo-, July 2s.-while
talking with party of friends last We'd
nesday Blair Howard proposed as joke
to Miss Lille McLain that they get
married. She consented, but each sup
posed the other was jesting. A friend
was dispatched for license. which was
drawn up IN due form. The wedding was
announced in the local papers TO take
place at the residence of Rev. Il. Is.
Currey, pastor of the Sacred Heart Church
that night. At the appointed time the
couple went to the residence, but Father
Currey had several visitors and they ala
not remain. Thursday morning they
went back and the ceremony was per-
formed amidst great deal OF chatting,
the contracting parties still believing 1t
TO be joke.
The BRIDE and groom went about their
ordinary duties and were no more TO
each other than friends. Last night Mr..
Howard desired To call upon friend
and announced his intention at the Com
mercial Hotel, whore he boarded. Father
Currey, who was at the table, acci-
dentally heard IL and informed the young
man. that he was legally married. lie
went to the home OF the bride and the
two are now living together.
