their honeymoon In trip to Europe Her
husband neglected her before they were

ompany her home to her parents. I
He had the grace to do that, however, and
then he left, evidently to the relief Of his
wife and her folks. 4
He is not disputing the claim for divorce

MRS. MCLAUGHLIN LEAD.
One Victim Of Boston Shooting Affair Passes
Away, Tuesday Morning. "

Boston, Nov. 16.-Frank Mclaughlin,
Who, with his wife Margaret, was
taken to the City hospital, yesterday,
both suffering from bullet wounds, was
in comfortable condition, although It
still seemed impossible that he could
recover.
Mrs. Mclaughlin, who died at the
hospital at 2.35 o'clock, this morning.
carried three bullets. One of them
penetrated the brain, another the
breast, and the third the hip. She died
without recovering consciousness and
the police were unable to learn fer
story.
The husband still maintains that his
wife did the shooting, but the police
are sure the woman could not have in
flicted her wounds herself and believe
that Mclaughlin did the shooting, as
he was discouraged at the prospect OF
having to leave his wife to go to con-
sumptives' home from which he appar-
emily would never return to her.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features o. the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Siacks.

New York, Nov 16:--Today was re-
markably dull on the Stock Exchange
The only spurts of activity were due
10 manipulative manoeuvres in the
part of professional traders These
were notably manifest in Consolidated
Gas which jumped up and down point
at a time. all day but always at level
below last nights price. The decline
extended to Az points at one time but
covering at the close left the stocks
net loss only fractional. The weakness
of this stock and of other LEGAL gas
stocks is due to fears of failure of
plans alleged TO have been in contem-
plation for the amalgamation of the
local gas companies
Sugar continues to lead the market
in point of activity and it's strength
during the day helped the general
strength of the market 1t rose a.
one time two points but reaction due
to realizing sales on a short turn left
it's net gain fractional Others of the
Industrial stocks notably Cotton Oil.
Tobacco and Leather preferred, rose
sharply on traders purchases but for
the most part lost their gains on realiz-
ing sales. The movement in New Jer-
sey Central was due to the same
causes.
The market for the most part. how
ever, was firm in the face of the dull
ness. prices continuing above yes.Sr.
days level all day after a small de-
cine just at the or ening.
