Once more has 1t been demonstrated
that Crystal Lake does not allow any
other place to Guido her in the matter of
church sociables, and once more have the
ladies shown their wonderful ability and
resources in raising funds and preparing
suppers. Our church sociables and chick
en- pie suppers will compare favorably
with those of any place on the Atlantic
slope. About two hundred were present
at the chicken pie supper held at Mr.. and
Mrs. A. U. Charters on Tuesday even
ing. About 40 were present from Stat
ford Springs, and surrounding towns were
represented by large delegations. The
sum OF $32 65 was realized from the sup
per, which nearly demclishes the remain

horse sheds. The next good work that
is being contemplated Is to paint the

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, June 10.-For the first time
In some days, London cables reflected SUBJ
stantial gains over the local parity and
brought over a considerable volume of buy
ing ORDERS The total number of shares
credited to the foreign account was
variously estimated to be between 5000 and
10000.
Southern Railroad preferred. Northern
Pacific preferred, Atchison and Reading
were the features Of this demand. Local
prices reflected general advances during
the opening hour. the strength of the mar
ket being superior to its recent achieve
ments in this particular.
The Granger shares were In good de-
mand, the activity in this group being
credited largely to legitimate commission
buying.
The coal stocks, particularly New Jersey
Central and Delaware and Hudson. ad-
vanced sharply under an urgent demand
frCm the short interest. The buying of
the former proceeded without Interrupt
ton until an advance of 3 per cent had
been recorded. Traders bid up the prices
in this group upon discovering the efforts
of prominent short interest to buy in
short stock.
The strength of the general market and
the fact that no material rise had been re-
PFC cess an easy ore.
A similar interest in Western Union was
also noticeably active In the liquidation of
outstanding obligations
Earnings reported during the day were
generally encouraging, Northern Pacific
and St Paul rejecting gains Of $52,6So and
$2S.33S for the fourth v eek in May and the
first week in June, respectively. Other
properties of less prominence in the pres
ent market were relatively prosperous dur
ing these periods.
The market was given over to influences
entirely beneficial to values until after
the close of the noon hour, when Wash
ington advices became a factor of some
importance. The reaching of the sugar
schedule in the Senate was followed by
somewhat uncertain action on the part of
the stock Of the American Company, which
subsequently yielded to weakness.
The per cent decline recorded in these
shares during the afternoon had ten
dency to depress the entire market.
The probable delay in the passage Of the
bill. occasoned by hostile debate on su-
gar, was assigned as an argument for TAX
ing profits in the regular list. The trad
very active. but, all things considered. the
securities sold were well taken. The re-
cent buying of the market had visibly in
creased the supply of stocks in the room
and suggested the movement at the close
of business.
The exchange market is steady and indi-
cations point to a moderate gold move
ment on Saturday. This outflow will oc-
casion no concern in financial circles, and
will consequently have no significant inf1u-
ence On prices.

WORKING ON HOFFMAN CASE.
Attorney Ach Insists There Was No
Cause for Suicide,

Cause for Suicide.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 1O.-The
HOFFMAN mystery is still unsolved, though
the detective force is working hard to get
at the facts. Attorney Ach is tireless in
his efforts to fix the responsibility for the
merchants death ON Theodore Figel Ach
declares that there was no motive for sui
eide.
Hoffman and his wife, the attorney SAYS
were not on bad terms, as reported On
Tuesday morning, before leaving for down
town, he kissed her.
Rothschild and Ach are keeping control
of the books One fact concerning the
check book which he pointed out Is that
twenty-one checks were torn out from the
back Of the book. and no entry was made
on the accompanying stubs.
'On March %. 1897" he says, "in the
petty cash book Is credit by Figel to M.
Serker of Merced for 81 300. I traced that
item down, and found that Serker paid
Ffgel 81 800 in money on that day for Hoff-
man. Rothschild & Co. On the other side
OF the cash book Is an item by Figel indi-
eating a deposit Of 81 600 in the London,
Paris and American Bank on that day. On
the same day on the check book he wrote
that deposit of $1,000 in cash was made
In the bank. The fact is that no such de-
posit was made
Entries in the cash book were made in
black and red ink and in black and purple
indelible pencil. SO there was no occasion
for extreme neatness of the use of a par
ticular brand of ink, which Figel SAYS he
returned to the store to procure.
Chief Lees denies that he favors the sui
eide theory. He says that he is securing
all the evidence possible, and has expressed
no opinion.
