Finale in the Second Act of a Do
nestle Drama
CHICAGO, June 4.-The Times-Her-
aid says:
"Rumor has it that Frank Mcgowan
and Mrs. j. A Barnes of Trenton. n.
J., were married yesterday. If the
story is true it is the finale of the
second act of a domestic drama that
has caused lively interest in Toronto,
Cleveland, Trenton and New York.
The groom is widely known in the
east as a politician and an extensive
manufacturer of rubber goods About
three years ago j. A Barnes, who was
the manager of a Cleveland rubber
concern, and his wife spent the sum-
mer at the eastern Canadian summer
lake resorts. At one of these resorts
appeared Frank Mcgowan, who at
that time was mayor of Trenton and
the owner of large rubber goods
plant To Mr.. Barnes Mcgowan of
fered a salary said to be thrice that
given by the Cleveland concern. and
house in Trenton next to the Ma
gowan residence These offers re-
suited in the transfer of the Barnes
Jersey. Then came the famous Ma
gowan-Barnes scandal Following il
was Magowan's failure TO be made sen
ator from New Jersey, and then came
his business collapse. which was
quickly followed by three damage
suits against him aggregating $780,
900. all brought by Barnes.
Tuesday at Oklahoma City Mrs
Barnes secured a divorce from her hus-
band The Mcgowan matrimonial
knot was severed by the same courts
several months ago.

NEW YORK, June A question
that is agitafing many spectators in
the street is the probable continuance
of the recently revived activity and
strength of silver certificates. Predic-
tons of sharp advance in the price of
the metal are INDUCED in and bullion
dealers hope for a recurrence of the
movement that marked the year 1890.
1T is reported a considerable demand
for the White metal has developed in
Europe. 1t is understood this inquiry
comes at the moment chiefly from
france and in lesser degree from
Spain for coinage purposes, and that
orders have been received here, the
bids being above the London parity.
Many shelters are said TO have sold
their product for three months ahead
and there is, comparatively speaking,
only light stock of bullion on hand.
The transactions in silver certificates
upon the stock exchange today amount
ed to s2S6.OOO at 6s1A @69ss, making the
aggregate dealing for the week thus
far $406, 600. as against 6S1s the last
previous price. Engagements of 700,-
600 ounces of silver have been made
thus far for export on Saturday.

WALL STREET

New York, June 4.-The most inn
poitaEt influence upon the general mar
ket today was eXerted by exhibits of
railroad earnings for the fourth week
and month. The statements were not
uniform in tenor, as both losses and
gains were reported, the decreases be-
ing the most numerous. The showing
of the Missouri Pacific was the most
unsatisfactory, disclosing losses of
SSI 0e0 for the week and $215, 900 for the
month.
The Northwestern annual report was
as favorable as had been anticipated.
The surplus is S1,S4S.651. against a de-
felt last year of $273, $50 A decided i'm
provement in the later prices of the
railway shares followed the publication
of these figures which was rounded out
by a display of buoyancy in the an
tllracite coal shares. The closing was
strong with an advance of a point in
Denver preferred, rejecting foreknow-
ledge of firm confidence on the part OF
some operators that a dividend would
be declared today. An official an
nouncement will be made tomorrow.
The general railway list moved in a
narrow groove but some of the special
ties were conspicuous for wide f1uctua-
tions.
The dealings in silver certificates
were Oh a large scare ana q TURNER
advance of 81 per cent was recorded
on speculative purchases based upon
political forecasts. a sharper demand
was also noted for foreign account.
The transactions were $4,000 shares,
with a block of 100, 900 selling at the top
figure, $685..
The speculative issues were more
freeIy dealt in and irregularity in
prices, within narrow range, was
noted in the bond market. The deal
ings were attended by but few features
of interest. The sales were DOS, 900.
