Brooklyn Rapid Transit developed an early weakness and receded 21a points. but rallied a point. Susquehanna and Western preferred broke point and a quarter in sympathy with the reaction ary movement among the anthracite ooalers. Delaware also lost a point. The June net earnings of Burlington were over $10O,0 above those of last year. and the same amount in excess of those of last May. This was inter preted as a most favorable showing. A slight rise in silver and the export of $10O,00O in gold to Canada were of some interest to the street. There were ad- vances of a point or more In about nine- teen shares.
 The transactions in railway and mis- cellaneous mortgages aggregated the largest total noted in some years, namely, $3,94O,O00. This included an extensive variety of issues in which im- provements of substantial proportions were general, but the most noteworthy in the middle grade liens.

He was interviewed by a Republican reporter last evening He said that he represented the Japanese railroad com pany, which operated about 800 miles of railroad in Japan. He has been edu- cated as 8 merchant engineer at a Japanese university. He had landed at San Francisco several weeks ago and has visited Chicago, Buffalo and Phila- delphit.

The township is six miles square, bounded north by Windsor, northeast by East Hartford, west by Pennington, east by East Hartford, southeast by Glaston- bury, and south by Wethersfield. The town is divided by a small stream called Little river, with high, romantic banks, over which is a bridge connect ing the two divisions of the town. The city is regularly laid out, the streets in- tersecting each other at right angles. Its buildings are an elegant State House, lately built, two churches for Congregationalists, and five hundred dwelling houses, a number of which are handsomely built with brick.

 Bristol, July 29.-Mr. Isaac Pierce died last Wednesday night at his home on Compounce Road after an illness of some weeks, from effects of old age The funeral will be held at the house Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The Bristol Press says of him:
 MT. Pierce was born in Bristol in the Burns house, near Pierce Bridge, No vember 2s, 1915, and was therefore eighty-one years and eight months old to day. In 1883 he went to Green vile, Ala. where he was employed With a cousin in mercantile establishment. In 1885 he located in Montgomery, Ala, and engaged in business for himself. He remained there until 1842, when he returned to Bristol, and remained until 1849, when with seven others from this vicinity he went to the gold fields Of California and was reasonably success full In 1850 he again returned to Br1s- tol, and while uncertain as to what business to engage in MT. Cad Norton proposed that they make summer re- sort of Compounce This was done and the lake was opened to the public un- der the firm name of Pierce & Norton. How successful a venture it has been everybody knows.
 The resort has been an exceedingly popular one from the start, and the pro- prietors became widely and favorably known throughout this region. Some twelve years ago MT. Pierce retired from active business life,
 Of the original party of '49ers only two survive MT. Pierce. They are MT. Dodge of Ohio and Mir. Jared Goodrich of Plainville.
 MT. Pierce was a staunch, lifelong democrat and represented Bristol in the legisla lures of '61 and '6S.
 He was one of family of five chill dren, three boys and two girls. Only one of them is now living, Salmon, who is in feeble health at the family resi- dence on Compounce road.
 MT. Pierce was married in 1864 to Miss Catherine Degnan. They had four chill dren, three of whom are living, Edward, Julius and Mrs. Stanton Brown.
 Mir Pierce belonged to a family of old New England stock and inherited the viatues of fine ancestry. He has filled his place In life ably and we'll, and goes to his reward without an enemy. He was an exceedingly jovial, kindly, cour- teous gentleman, always affable and ready with a joke or story. In 8 word, he was an ideal host As man and citizen he was honorable, upright, con- scientious and faithful to all his duties. He will be much missed by an unusual ly large circle of acquaintances."

Bears Raided the Market on Rumors of
 UnfavorabIe Crop Advices from Dakota
 New York, July 29-The stock mar ket was strong, with a generally whole- some look until delivery hour, when the bears raided the market on rumors of unfavorable crop advices from the Da- kotas and that gold exports on Satur- day would be in excess of $2,00o ,000, causing the close to be irregular at slight recoveries from the lowest, but with the greater number of shares showing net increases for the day.
 Sustaining influences on the market were favorable, traffic statements, ris- ing quotations for wheat and cotton, with the engagement of another 800, 900 bushels of wheat from outports., Amer jeans in London were attracting a broadening interest, London buying and selling some 25,000 shares here. At the same time the continent, in a moderate degree, purchased Americans in Lon don. The market was featured by vio- lent fluctuations in the specialties and aggressive strength and activity of low priced stocks which hitherto had par ticipated in only slight extent in the general rise.
 Southern and southwestern groups were exceptionally strong. Southern preferred advanced on foreign and do- mestic purchases on vague rumors in regard to dividend prospects, but the movement was probably part of that recently displayed in other southern se- curities. On prophecies that a. series of bearish interviews with Sugar peo- pie would be published, Sugar which had risen to 1991a, was forced down to 137, but rallied a point.
 In the late trading it was claimed that sales had been made of Dutch granulated for September shipment. the foreign refiners having refused bounties thereon, so that the American counter vailing duty might be avoided

CASHIER CASSlN JAILED.
Others Are Probably Implicated in
His DefaIcatiOn.

ATLANTA, Ca, April 26.-Harry A. Cassin,
the cashier Of the Georgia Savings, Loan and
Banking company, who yesterday confessed
to being a defauter to the extent of $4,000,
and whose friends had agreed to pay up his
shortage to keep him out of jail is tonight
behind the bars of Fulton prison. At a
meeting of the board of directors Of the in
stitution which was robbed, held this after
noon, a brief examination of the books was
made and this resulted in the astounding
discovery that the bank which was sup
posed to be one of the most prosperous in the
state, had barely a cents worth of assets.
Instead Of the shortage being $45, 900 it will
be several times that sum, and instead of
young Cassin being the bearer Of the entire
guilt 1t is now believed at least one other
conspicuous official win share cell with him
within the next few hours.
A remarkable chain Of evidence has been
the immediate result Of Cassin's enforced con-
fession. When President G. V. Gross Of the
bank, and the board Of directors, agreed with
Judge Hillyer, CaGssin's father-in-law, to
make good the shortage the matter was be-
lieved to have been settled. AS the amount
of the defalcatfon steadily increased, however,
Of the banks president, went into court with
an application for a receiver for the concern.
Judge Lumpkin set next Saturday as the date
for the hearing. At this Judge Hillyer with
drew and a warrant was sworn out for the
arrest of Cassin. He was taken at once into
custody. Almost Immediately the application
was made for receiver for the United States
Bond company, Of which Gross was president
and Cassin cashier. and the court Immediately
appointed one. The company has over 400
agents at work in different cities. Several
hundred thousand dollars worth of It's bonds
are held as gilt-edge securities by people in
Memphis New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Chicago. Immediately following the arrest
of Cassin, the board of directors and stock
holders went into secret session and, it is
said arranged for the swearing out of other
warrants. Mr.. Gross, the president of both
corporations, is a resident of New York and
is president of the Photograph Manufacturing
company. The stockholders VIII probably be
in session all night, for the books Of both
companies are in very bad condition.
