BEHIND THE BARS.
The Ons-Time Baptist Pastor in a
Prison Cell.

Sergeant Manuel arrived in the city
yesterday aufternoon on No. 3 from Or
ange, having in charge Rev. Leslie Cook,
former Baptist pastor, but now charged
with forgery.
1t was learned from the sergeant that
he was arrested in a barroom at Orange,
very much under the influences OF liquor,
and when the sheriff told him he was
wanted he threw his hand to his hip
pocket and took out pistol, which he
tiled to hide without the officers knowl-
edge. He was brought back with the
'bracelets" on and Sergeant Manuel took
the precaution to bring along Win
chester.
"A Times reporter saw him in his cell
at the station house; hut, coax as he
would, he could get no answer from him.
1t is understood, however, that he de-
MES the charge and says he is suffering
for the wrong done by another.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, April 20.-New York deal
ers in stocks and bonds awoke to reall-
cation thris morning that their fears yes
terday had exaggerated the danger to
values threatened by the Graeco-Turkish
war. The early morning brought news
of the opening prices in London for
American securities we'll above last
nights New York closing. The opening
here was about on a parity with London
for the international shares, the rush OF
first purchases in some stocks being 50
great as to give a range of "a in the ini-
tial price, as was the case in yesterdays
selling movement. To-day's opening was
attended by an almost equal degree OF
excitement with yesterdays, the eager
ness to buy what was sold yesterday be-
ing feversh. The day was, in fact, al
most an exact reversal Of yesterdays
proceedings except that the retrograde
movement stopped short Of full recovery
Of yesterdays losses.
Railway bonds recovered sharply to-
day with the speculative issues leading
the movement. The sales were S1.126.-
900. Governments were active but with
ont notable change on transactions or
