cuticle remained intact and moved off
by way Of the hands and feet without
breaking. The cuticle was five days
in passing off, and during that time
the boy lay on the bed wriggling like
a snake at moulting tune. The child
seemed to be in no pain, but COM

Child DROWNED.

From MI. Dart, the driver of the
Tuscarora stage, we learn that the
little eighteen months old boy of Mr..
and Mrs. George Fairchild Of Tusca-
rora was drowned Sunday. From
what we can learn, the family werea at
the ranch near Tuscarora and, III some
unaccountable manner, the little boy
got out of the house and fell into a
pond OF water two or three feet in
depth which was near the house. The
|child's absence was soon discovered
and upon searching the premises the
little fellow was discovered In the wa
ter. When rescued, life was not ex-
tipct and . doctor was sent for.
Although everything possible was
done, the little fellow was beyond
restoring and soon passed away.
The funeral took place yesterday
and was largely attended. The sym

tended TO Nh! and Ms. Fairchild in

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Dec. 22.-The early stock
speculation was dull and was practic-
ally without feature, aside from slight
sagging tendency on realizing and a
change Of front to the selling side on the
part of London. The market soon devel-
oped a firmer tone under the influence of
advances in the high priced stocks. The
general market weakened, and selling for
both accounts was preciuitated by the
news of the suspension OF the bank Of
Minnesota, OF st. Paul. and OF runs upon
the Chicago savings banks, resulting in
recourse by those institutions to the sixty
day option on payment of depositors. The
bears made the best use of their opportu-
mites to depress prices, particularly in
the specialties. Tobacco, after a rise of
per cent to 7S11a, lost half Of the gain in
the general slump towards the close.
Sugar was offered freely and lost ~ per
cent The leading railroad shares drop
ped 10115 per cent. The bond market
lapsed into dullness, but prices were
maintained with material improvement
in some instances. Towards the close an
easier tone developed in sympathy with
the heaviness of the stock market. Gov
eminent bonds showed strength on invest
ment purchases aggregating $4,000
State securities were active and higher
on dealings of $10S,000. Silver certif-
Gates were in request and touched 6512 on
| transactions of $4,000.

STOCKS.

To-day's stock market was small, mar
row and sensitive affair." showing no de-
cided tendency in either direction, with
the business almost wholly local and
largely Of professional character. Dur
ing the first hours business prices were
sustained at about last nights range on
some bull movement in Sugar, Chicago
Gas andBurlington, but as this demand
soon subsidized and it was seen that com
mission business was practically dull.
with no substantial support from the
large outside moneyed interests, the bear
traders resumed their raiding tactics. Gov
ering shorts later by smaller dealers, and
the declaration Of the Vanderbilt regular
dividends on Lake Shore, New York Cen
trail and Michigan Central led to a slight
rally toward noon, but the market again
eased off upon the Canada Southern div
idend being reduced from Ia TO / per
cent. Less favorable Chicago advices.
with all the savings banks there compell-
ed to fall on the sixty days notice rule
to all depositors DESTROYS of drawing more
than 500, on account OF small runs on all
Of them from yesterdays bank troubles,
and on the failure this morning Of the
bank Of Minnesota at st. Paul, which
was the largest and the Oldest bank there.
The whole list receded under renewed IL
quotation and short selling, and closed

ing / to 2 per cent. with the latter in

rumors of an impending reduction in it,,

G. j. declined IL per cent, in sympathy
with the weak D. H., and Readsg one
per cent. The Changers were affected
by Chicago liquidation ON the nervousness
there, and at st. Paul, over the financial
situation. Tobacco was manipulated, and
advanced 2 per cent, by brokers who US
ually act for insiders. Nothing was done
on the Cuban resolutions in. the Senate,
which adjourned over until January 9Th,
when the debate on the question will be
resumed.
