OVER A PUPPY.
Charles r.. Barber and Constable
Have an Argument.

The st. Bernard puppy. about the owne--
ship of which Patent Attorney Charles Il.
Barber and Vincent Petroia are dispu:ing
caused Barber more trouble today and tie
affair will be ventilated in the Police Court
tomorrow. Mr.. Petrola instituted legal
proceedings to regain possession of the
Druch-coveted piece of dog flesh, aud the
writ of replevin was given to Constable
Charles a. Darling for service. Barber ana
the dog were found by the constable about
noon today on G streer northwest between
9Th and 9TH streets. and an Understandable
scene followed.
What in the world can possibly be the
matterg Policeman James Fitzgerald
asked himself when he saw crowd of
several hundred people there on the street.
He FASTENED to the scene of the trouble
and found the patent attorney and con-
stable Juggling away al the inoffensive ami
NAL, but the cruelty to animals man was
nowhere 10 be found.
Such conduct as this cannot be tolerated
on the public Streets" was the conclusion
at which he arrived, and I'm q few minutes
both men and the dog were rolling over
the concrete pavement in the direction Of
Lieut.. kelly's police station.
ITS a civil matter about the dog" the
men were told, but when a breach of the
peace is committed then the police will in
terfere."
Disorderly conduct was the charge pre-
ferred against the men by the policeman.
and Barber, who was huSging the dog in
his arms to keep the constables hands OF.
sent for his counsel and carriage. In the
meanwhile the constable served a writ on
the attorney, hut the latter threw the pa
per on the floor and refused to recognize
it.
The police accepted s. collateral from
each defendant. ard the attorney inquired
if he would be beyond reach of the con-
stable if he got outside the city limits.
Il don't know anything about it, Police
man Mansfield told him.
Leaving the writ Of repievln on the floor
of the police station. Barber rushed out
and was driven off up New Jersey avenue
in the carriage. The constable mounted
his wheel and went in pursuit of the We
hicle. Several other wheelmen Joined In
the pursuit. and soon the entire party had
reached a point out of sight of the sixth
precinct police. At O'Clock they had not
been heard from at any other station, and
it is likely that the dog is now i'm another
jurisdiction.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, May GA disposition to
take profits on yesterdays purchases re-
srlted in a slightly lower opening level this
morning. The declines were not material
In single instance, however, and this
fact subsequently attracted new buying on
the theory that sentiment was no longer IA
vorable to depression. The market was
largely professional during the morning,
hut gave evidence of en- improving commits
sion demand later in the day.
The granger shares failed for a time to
hold the advance of yesterday, but subse-
quently became prominent in the advance.
The issues in which the short interest has
been most active were the features of the
days developments. New Jersey Central
was sold down fractionally during the
morning, but advanced substantially during
the afternoon under a demand from inter
ests prominent in the recent uninterrupted
decline. The purchases by a single inter
est were credited with forcing a rer cent
advance during an active period at the
close of the noon hour
The stock gave evidence of buying by an
interest fully capable of extended support.
and the recognition of this fact forced an
immediate and wholesale abandonment of
the short account
Western Union was advanced under sim
liar influences. the short interest in the
property having assumed proportions be-
yond the control OF q narrow and chang
ing situation. Rumors of harmonious ac-
ton with the Bell Telephone Company
were circulated in explanation of the rise.
Manhattan was improved sympatheticalIy
on small dealings.
American Sugar was advanced under the
influence of the assurances that the trust
would get less protection in the Senate
Dill than that given by either the Dingley
or wilson bills. 1t merely the assur-
ances, and not the facts, that caused the
advance in this property
The passage of the Chicago Gas CONSOLE
dation bill in the Illinois senate failed to
attract new buying of those shares. The
best price of the day preceded the an
nouncement This action may be explained
on the theory that no considerable short
interest existed after the covering move
.ent at the close of last week
1t emphasizes the fact that notwithstand-
ing the danger in the main situation max
ing for betterment the stocks in which
short interest exists are alone responsive
to the limited demand.
The market fails to broaden along lines
essential to sustained improvement and
reactions are likely to be fully as con-
spicuous as the forty-eight hour advances
recently inaugurated. The declines should
not be important. however. unless new I'M
favorable DEVELOPMENTS arise.
The tariff debate will monopolize atten-
ton from now on. and will tind prompt re-
Election in prices. During merely routine
dulinass.
Prices shaded OFF from the best during
the last hour under moderate selling for
both accounts.

There Is every Indication that he M

the Military and Naval Academies which
we're discontinued during the last admins

bad feeling between the soldier boys and

of the naval and military establis hmcnts.

McLAURIN IS THE MAN
Governor Ellerbe VIII Give Him Senator
Earle's Vacant Seat.
The Next Legislature Will Elect-Will
Ask for the Primary
Nomination.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBIA. s. c.. May 25.-John L. Nc
Laurin. congressman of the sixth South
Carolina district will be appointed United
States senator tomorrow, to succeed Jos.
H. Earle. who died last week.
The closeness of political division in the
senate and the possibility of democrats
securing amendments OF the pending tariff
bill by mastering their full strength in that
body were urged as reasons for an i'm
II ediate appointment.
His Fitness for the Place.
Congre ssman McLaurir's service on the
ways and means committee, which gave
him perfect familiarity with the tariff bill
and the tariff question generally. was urged
as reason for his appointment, which his
great personal popularity helped to secure.
senator Iflman's friends also urged the
appointment of McLaurin, because they did
not want McLaurin to oppose Tillman for
Reelection in 1900, which he could have
gone successfully. The appointment will
be made tomorrow. Gov. Ellerbe made
that announcement today. McLaurin's let
ter OF acceptance will be short and pointed.

mary this summer nominate a candidate

ture.
McLaurin will be opposed by ex-Gov.
Evans. who was defeated for the senator
ship by Earle, and State Senator Mayfield
ana possibly also by Congressman Wilson.

PITTSBURG, Pa. May 25.-The final ses-
sion of the North American Baptist May
anniversaries, which have been going on in
the Fourth Avenue Baptist Church of this
city since May II. began at 10 o'clock this
morning. The delegates in attendance say
the anniversaries just held have been the
most profitable and enthusiastic of any
held for years. Before the meeting was
formally opened all foreign missionaries.
with one exception. were invited to seats
on the platform. The exception was Rev.
w. H. Cossum of China, who yesterday
caused a sensation by his remarks on John
d. Rockefeller.
Mr. Cossum said in the course of his re-
marks then:
What our denomination needs Is not rich
men, but holy men, A New York million
aire has offered us a great gift I say that
great gift should not be accepted unless
John d. Rockefeller first makes confession
to the American people. We must accept
no money that does not come from clean
hands. Let Mr.. Rockefeller purify himself
and bring in this gift as righteous, Cod
fearing man and then we can accept it"
The ciergymen on the platform exchanged
looks as the impetuouS missionary contin-
ued:
Il know 1 am not saying what Dr. Dun
can wanted me to say; but 1 am not DIR.
Duncan's man He knows it, too. But he
is not here just now so that I can tell him
so. l am aware that what I have said is
not the sentiment of this body, but l am
bold enough to say what think should be
said regardless of what the world may
think
Whether the omission was accidental or
Intentional Is not known. Mr.. Cossum oc-
cupied seat close to the front and there
was a rather set expression on his face.
