The principal part Of the case was

witnesses were called to the stand.
The motion wor a nonsuit was opposed
by Attorney w. S. Diehl for the plain

reason the jury had nothing to do with
the case.

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall street Review.

New York. June 3-Stocks during
the early session today were charac-
terized by weakness, but in no case did
the decline amount to as much as
point. London and the foreigners gen.
orally were sellers of our securities. the
passage Of the Butler bond bill and the
activity Of the free silver men having
been unfavorably construed abroad.
The foreign sales included st. Paul.
Louisville and Nashville and Reading
by London, and Kansas and Texas Pa
cific, Erie and Chicago and Northern
Pacific bonds by Berlin and Amster-
dam. In the aggregate. however. the
sales were only moderate in volume
and in an ordinarily active market
would not have been noticed at all. The
loss during the morning hour was equal
to Aa7s per cent. Sugar, Leather pre-
ferred, the Changers. General Electric
and Louisville and Nashville leading.
When the shorts discovered that very
little long stock was coming out. they
tried to cover and the decline noted
was generally recovered. The upward
movement was stimulated by Wash
tngton advices that the house will kill
the Butler bill; the small engagement
of gold for shipment to Europe tomor-
row and the favorable report Of the
Rock Island road for the year. Bay
State Gas was the feature and jumped
from 23A to q on the statements that
the objections Of the governor Of Mas
sachusetts to the pipe line bill will be
provided for and new measure sub
stituted. Sugar and Leather preferred
were notably firm in the last trading,
and the Changers and Internationals
were in better request. Metropolitan
Traction dropped to 1861, while Man
haitian ranged l0lsal02S. Near the
close Tobacco broke to 63& against
65la at the opening.
The slump was due to reports of an
other cut in the price of plug. Specula-
ton closed about firm in tone. Net
changes show gains of kats per cent.
Bay State Gas, however, advanced 3
per cent. Total sales were only 117,2S1
shares.

the defendants. Rosa is employed by
the Erie and Wyoming Valley Railroad
company, and the two defendants
among several other young men were
on their way home from Mountain lake
a week ago last Sunday. There was a
conflict between them and Rosa. the
result of which was that the latter got
well hammered. There was not enough
of evidence to connect Mirtz with the
affray and Alderman Howe discharged
him. The evidence again Saar was not
strong either, but the alderman thought
it was sufficient to send the case to
court, and he was held in bail in the
sum of $500 for his appearance. Con-
tractor Max Phillips and Charles Saar
qualified as bondsmen.
