Stock Market 0penedWeak
This Morning.
London Bears Will Attempt to
Force Lower Prices.
The Tin Plate Manufacturers Will
Close Down Tomorrow.

NEW YORK, June 20. After the smoke
clears away from the political battlefield
at Chicago next week the whole country
will breath easier as soon as the known
strength OF the silveritcs is appreciated
and times will become more normal.
Another drive against Chicago Gas is
probable while Cotton Oil preferred Is
likely 10 sell ia the 40s. The Manhattan
Elevated earnings are falling of at aeon
siderable rate. The stock will sell under
par but il is sale only for quick turns.
The Tobacco people have 1t in their
power to tenn mporarily turn the market
upward it - said they will declare
per cent. dividend tomorrow. The next
dividend of Cotton Oil preferred Is Offer
ed at per cent. reduction OF one per-
cent. from the last dividend.
IE view OF the fact that London prices
only show parity with our closing IL is
evident that the bear attacking party in
the market will try to force lower
level OF prices and will not cover hut
increase their line on oil rallies II APP

They will learn that flow OF words is

WORK IS SLOW.
Little Progress Toward Rcscuing
Miners.

Little Progress Toward Rcscuing
Miners.
WILKEsBARRE, June 29.y-The excite
ment at the Twin shaft In Pittston, where
nearly 100 miners We're entombed, either
dead or awe continues today.
At the mouth OF the shaft, besides the
wives and children of the entom bed
miners, there arc hundreds of persons,
not residents of Pittston alone, but
visitors from Kingston, Scranton and
Wilkesbarre. The grief of the stricken
families is intense. Wives and children,
many of whom have not left he mouth
OF the shaft since tbs terrible accident,
stand near the opening 10 the death
cham bcr and urge the rescuers to greater
efforts.
The situation is almost tho same as
that reported last night. Practically
nothing has been accomplished toward
the recovery of tbs men. There is scarcely
an old miner ABOUT the opening of the
mine who does not believe that the men
are ull dead.
The rescuing party which went into the
InIne at O'Clock, came out OF the shaft
at O'Clock. The foreman reported that
the tim bering in the mines Is going on
as rapidly as possible. He said the work
was necessarily slow owing 10 the danger
OF falling rocks which had been loosened
by the terrible explosion. 1t is hardly
possible that actual digging will begin
before late this afternoon.
Any suggestions advanced Us to the
probable time the men will be reached
are mere guess work as all depends on
whether the slope is completely choked
up with debris or not IL not the rescu-
ers may possibly bs able to reach the
men within the next "a hours, otherwise,
IL may be two or three days, The rescu-
ing party is 1000 ieet from where the
cave-in occurred. The gas continues to
accumulate and the roof, which was
weakened by the explosion is in danger
of falling at any moment. The men
who came out Of the shaft this morning,
bear the marks OF anxiety and hard la
bcr.
Hope OF finding the men alive and un-
injured, by the Older miners was aban-
doned last night because they knew the
ventilation was bad and that even IL the
men had escaped the fall they could not
live 20 minutes in sucn an atmosphere.

with similar gestures as long as they re-
mained in sight.

Two Were Heard on Demurrer by Judge

Carpenter Today.
1t was insurance day today in the
United States courts. Judge Carpenter
heard two cases involving questions
of insurance law on demurrers.
The first was a suit brought by A. j.
st. Onge, formerly of Woonsocket,
against the Westchester Life Ins france
Company of New York for loss by fire
In Woonsocket some two years ago. Mr..
st. Onge made the assignment Ii is
stated, and with the consent OF the In
surance company the policy of insurance
was transferred. The property was after
ward reconveyed to 1t. Onge and the
question before the court is whether the
transfev of the policy was sufficiently
rapid 10 keep up with the transfer OF the
property so that the company might be
held for the amount of the loss caused by
the fire.
The other case was an action brought
bv Susan A. Hubbard VS.. Mutual Reserve
Fund Life Association for amount OF
policy on life OF George W. Hubbard, who
died some two years ago.
The defendant pleads among other
things tha. incorrect answers were given
to the questions contained in the applica-
iion for policy. The plaintiff demurrs
and the case is before tbs court on the
demurrer.
The cases were held for advsenent by
his honor.
