To-day's stock market was hardly worthy of
serious consideration. Tho dealings were light
and the fluctuations In the main unimportant
Tho only aggressive interest in the market

dealings In the last named were very light
while those In Delaware and Hudson were un-
usually large. The selling was accompanied by
reports that the preliminary statements OF tho
operations Of tho Lackawanna and Delaware
and Hudson companies, which will DO mads
public this week. will make unfavorablo show
ings. Asa matter OF fact. no one has expected
that any OF the anthracite coal com pa les would
make particularly good showing for tho last
calendar year. and rs the largest holders OF the
securities OF those companies have known tho
condition Of the industry better than any one
else. It 10 not reasonable to suppose that wero
they disposed to part with their stocks they
would wait as the bears would have 1t supposed.

graduate, and during thotwo years that she has
been In the school has established reputation
as an excellent instructor.
The story, as told In the complaint laid before
Justice Smith by the boy and his father. Capt.
George Ncwbury OF Princes Bay. sets forth
that last Thursday George was sent to tho
black board TO do an example In complex frac-
tions He did not succeed. and was kept on the
floor in front OF the blackboard from 10 A. NJ.
until o r. Nj. being deprived OF his recesses and

Miss Pounding pleaded not guilty when ar
raigned before Justice Smith. demanded jury
trial. and the case was adjourned until Satur:
day afternoon. She worked out and explained
the example after several OF the children OF her
class had declared ther inability TO do so and
one had attempted and failed. This was done
at Justice Smiths request, and when IL was
com mpleted the Justice remarked: .
III you had done that last Thursday don't
you think 1t would have saved all this trouble p
She asked permission to make statement,
but upon the advice OF tho Jurtice and trustees
of the school she reserved tho statement for the
Jury, and would say nothing for publication.
Ehe says that young Newbury knew how to do
the example and struck her first.
