QUESTION OF NOTICE.
Whitney and Whaley Say They Were
Not Given One
Before Their Property on 0rms Street Was
Sold Under Mortgage.

There was considerable testimony in
troduced in the Appellate Court this
morning to show that Roswell o. Whit
ney and Josiah A. Whaley, who owned
land on Orms street the former near the
corner of Winsor street and the latter near
the railroad bridge, had not been prop
erly notified of sales under mortgage
in 1895. Another party in interest was
Mary H. Knowles. for she had loaned
Mr.. Whitney $1,000 TO build houses on
his land.
When Mr. Whitney bought his lot there
was a mortgage upon IL of $500 held hy
Susan g. Dean. The latter transferred
the mortgage TO Catherine Harvey, who
advertised the property for sale under "a
power given in the mortgage. The ad-
vertisement was placed in the Rhode
Island County journal, which accord
ing To the testimony of n witness en-
ployed in the Journal Company's count
ing room has "a circulation of but 100 in
this city and only L. subscribers living
within the same limits The only notice
Mr.. Whaley had of the sale of some land
sold under mortgage of the same parties
on which he had a claim was after the
sale was made. This second sale was
also advertised in the same journal
Evidence was introduced TO show that
there were very few persons in attendance
ut the sale OF the Whitney property. The
court iptimated that the advertisements
Of "A mortgage sale of property in paper,
having only 100 circulation, was, in view
OF the testimony in these cases, not n
proper notice 10 the parties holding an
interest on the property. Mr.. Van Slyck
in view of this intimation on the part of
the court, introduced no testimony in
behalf of the respondents. Mrs. Harvey
transferred the property to her sister ;
husband, Henry Cairns, who in time
transferred it 10 one Margaret L. McCor-
mick of East Providence, who admitted
today that she paid nothing for it.

FOUND AT LAST
SChOuler, the Alleged Dy-
namiter, Explains.
He Has no Intention of Blow
ing Up His NeighbOrS.
Bought the Explosive TO Break
Rocks Containing Minerals.

Lawrence Schouler, the man who Gre
nted so much excitement in Scituate last
week by his threats OF blowing up some
OF his neighbors with dynamite, has been
found, and in his own house at that, and
has made confession 60 Officer Her
nando Rounds which bears Gu, in some
respects the statements of his frightened
family and nCignbors, and in others fatty
Contradicts them.
Officer Rounds made an carly call at
the Schouler residence about daylight and
found the alleged dynamiter, who at
first appeared 10 think that the state
prison stared him in the face MIR
Rounds however, after time succeeded
in convincing Schouler that ho was in
10 immediate danger of becoming "a
guest at the Hotel Wall and the man
finally told his side of the story which
in many points conflicted with the stories
told by the nelghbors. Schouler admit
tel having the dynamite and caps, but
claimed that he did not buy the explosive
with the intention of harming his neigh
bors. Tie said that he had purchased the
dynamite for the purpose of breaking up
some large rocks in the neighborhood
which he mad been told by the Rev. Mr.
Cham bers who has been one of the prom
iuent figures IN the affair, contained val
uable minerals. Schouler claimed that
IL hih ubb hubN Hltitu hDOuh IIt tAIlD-
slve qualities of dynamite and had pre-
pared slab of stone which no in
tended TO break up with the explosive for
the purpose Of testing it. This 'slab"
he says, was the Internal machine on
which his wife and Rev. Mr.. Chambers
saw him mt work and, although lac denies
making any threats against Alton Hin
and Ezekiel Warner. he admits that he
did threaten TO blow his wife into much
warmer climate than that of Scituate il
she had too much to say. He informed
Officer Rounds that he intended Ia leave
the town as he thought he had many
enemies and If his wife wanted to go
with him he was willing and glad to have
her, but that family troubles had been the
original cause of the whole excitement.
AS the man has Eot actually committed
any offense against the peace and dignity
OF the state in general and the town of
Scituato in particular, the officer had no
occasion To arrest him and after giving
him some good advice left him to his own
devices ana the tender mercies of the
neighbors and irate family.

FINANCIAL NEWS

The market was quiet and inclined to be
featureless at the opening, although the
tendency was generally toward lower prices.
The rally that followed, while slight upon
the whole market, las effective in spots,
Sugar advancing nearly a point and Chicago
Gas regaining all its losses.

against the bill and that some strong infu-
ence is being brought 10 bear against the
company, but those who know a thing or two
claim that there j. no doubt but that the bill
will be passed. When this il done look out
tor higher prices. Chicago Gas will pass 90
yet"
The buying Of Sugar also seemed TO be very
confident today. Everything has been done
from bearish point OF view TO put Sugar
down, but the fact that houses with strong
political affiliations have been taking the
stock upon liberal scale would indicate that
developments Of more than ordinary import
ance will be forthcoming in "A few days. The
general opinion is that the delay in the re.
porting of the tariff bill indicates something
favorable for the company.

Turko- -Grecian war London will turn It's at

advantage Of the first favorable turn, and

In speaking OF the situation, Rolston e.

THE COTTON AND GRAIN MARKET.


Cotton on this side opened lower on the
call. but the market later became firm and
higher andsofferings were rather limited
Price, Mccormick a. Co. wired Weeden,
Kendall a. Co. that in Liverpool this morning
futures were down IL TO 2-64. which was
stated to be in sympathy with the American
uneasiness on Saturday. Spot prices were
slightly in the buyers favor and the sales
aggregated 0,0OO bales.
Southern advices today were inclined 10 be
bulish and the talk from Texas is that Scent
cotton will be seen before the end of May.
The most favorable feature, however. is the
strength of the position of spot cotton.
The Southern dispatches state that in
many places along the Mississippi farmers
have come to the conclusion that il is too late
to plant and grow cotton this year, and that
they will turn their attention TO food
products.
The cables from Manchester report that the
demand is good and the outlook for higher
prices promising.
The port receipts today were about 300
bales, against 5000 last week and 7000 last
year
