tered around the Sugar post Traders
were eager to ascertain what effect
the decision against the Netherlands
would have. The stock opened IL per
cent. higher, but the advance invited
profit taking and 11s per cent. loss
was scored. Peoples Gas opened up
II, but Immediately lost the advan-
tage. Initial prices of the railway list
showed small advances, but profit TAX
ing through the list reduced gains in
many instances. Metropolitan Street
Railway rose nearly Two points on
light transactions. Business was
was mostly professional, although the
undertone was decidedly firm. There
was liberal realizing consulting in the
wiping out Of gains. The downward
movement was soon checked, however,
and a substantial rally ensued. The
Specialties were buoyant and the local
securities were in brisk demand.
Trading in Sugar was on large scale
and the stock was very feverish, al
ternately moving up and down a point
or more. The rapid fluctuations in
this speciality served to unsettle senti-
ment and prices went downward. The
lack of confidence in the upward move
ment encouraged aggressive action by
the bears, which was reflected quite
notably in the specialties. Several
feeble attempts were made at rally,
but without success, and the close was
weak with Manhattan an exception to
the general selling pressure.

This true detective play introduces the
famous Hebrew National Detective,
Morris Goldfon, in the horoic role, sur
rounded by superb acting company.
He assumes the various disguises and
and reproduces the actual scenes
characters he encountered in solving
the greatest murder mystry in modern
times. An element of excruciating
comedy enters into the piece and the
sensational escapades Of the hero keep
the audience on the tip-toe of ex-
pectancy. As Hebrew tramp and an
emaciated hag Mr.. Goldfon demonstrates
concIusively that detective must be an
actor, off as well as on the stage. The
love story connected with the piece bor-

Miner Whips an Omeer.

Coal and Iron Policeman William
Raught, of Sandy Run, was stationed at
Halle Brook pay Office on Saturday
afternoon to preserve order while the
employees were receiving their Novemb Der
wages. The usual pushing and squeez-
ing about the Office took place, and the
officer had his hands full keeping the
crowd in line. A large Slav stepped
from the ranks and tried to get paid
before his turn. Rought attempted to
place him in line and fight followed.
The policeman is one of the indicted
deputies and on this account no one Of
fered him aid or help in his struggle
with the Slav. His revolver dropped
from his pocket and was picked up by
the miner, who used the heavy end of
the weapon with telling effect about
Rought's head and face.
When he escaped from the clutches of
his opponent, the officer came to Free
land and had his wounds dressed, then
went to his home in Sandy Run.
During the melee the sympathy of the
parently at fault, but so bitter is the
feeling against the Lattimer deputies
that no one would interfere The pres
ence of an indicted deputy is resented
everywhere throughout this region, and
when disturbances occur no mercy will
be shown any of them. As preservers

The production of anthracite coal in
the first eleven months of 1897 is 81, 9O4, :
900 tons, as against 80, 900 tons in
the same month last year, decrease Of
1915, 900 tons. The expectation is about
$3.50, 900 tons will be produced this
month, making about 1880, 600 tons
for the year as against 43, TT, 600 last
year. 6,525, 700 tons in 1895, and Al ,391,
900 tons in 1894 The output therefore,
will probably be the smallest since 1891,
The coming year will open in satisfac-
tory manner, and fairly steady work
will be the rule during 1898.
The producers have informally agreed
to stand by the old percentages of out
put for the various mining and railroad
companies which have been in force
