that was ascribed to the effect Of the ex-

with TITS the last figure. The temporary
advance to 7sss was caused by Ad recev
cry at Liverpool. Corn was weak and
slow. Oats established new low record
today, and that fact was the principal
item OF news. The feeling was weak from
start to finish and closed at the low prices
of the day. The decline was brought about
through sympathy with wheat. Trading
in provisions was extremely dull. The SELL

GOVERNOR TAKESAHAND
WIRES THE TENNESSEE EXECUTIVE,
ASKING FOR BURTON's RELEASE.
Mayor Taggart Asks Mr.. Mount to
Take This Step to Bring Back
the Murderer.

Mayor Taggart had expected to hear
favorably from Superintendent Colbert and
Chief Splann yesterday as to the result of
their effort to get Burton, the murderer of
Frank Redmond, out of the Tennessee
penitentiary in order that he might be
brought here for trial. In the evening he
became anxious on the subject and called
upon Governor Mount to ask his assistance
The mayor explained that Burton, alias
Hennessey, had been identified by the Ber-
tillon system in the Tennessee penitentiary.
After committing the murder he had made
his way to Nashville and had there broken
the window of a house on public street.
stolen some wearing apparel and walked
boldly down the street TO pawn shop with
his plumber hanging over his arm. There
seemed little doubt that he had committed
this crime for the purpose of putting him
self in prison out of public view until the
murder here was either forgotten or so
much time had elapsed that it would be i'm
and Colbert visited him in prison with the
Nashville police authorities he at first
denied the whole thing, but when they be-
gan verifying the Bertillon measurements
he threw up his hands and confessed before
them ALL lie went into details about how
he got to Nashville.
Willingness to take any reasonable step to
bring him to justice, and last night sent a
telegram to Governor Taylor, of Tennessee,
begging him to pardon or parole Burton
promising to return him to Nashville if he
were not convicted.

he mounted the stairs toward his law office

anxiety of an inventor who is afraid some
body will strike the same discovery before
he has time to take out a patent. He was
soon relieved. But isn't it good?" he de-
manded.
1t was readily admitted that it was a
most excellent appell2tion and one that
would help in attracting the silver Demo-

JOLLYING UP PLUMBERS
ADMINISTRATION PROVIDING FOR
SOME MORE INSPECTORS.
Preparing Another Ordinance-COn-
ference Between Board of Health
and Plumbers Last Night.

Last evening the Board Of Health held a
meeting with a committee Of journeymen
plumbers to discuss the plumbing ordinance
which is in course of incubation. The
board is somewhat anxious to rush this bit
of legislation, as it opens the way to pro-
vding places for another squad Of inspec-
tors and not a few of the Democrats who
ARE not talking right" can be fixed all
right if it goes through. The committee
from the Plumbers Union had had the or
dnance under consideration for two or
three days and suggested number of
amendments upon technical points, none of
which the members of the board under
stood in the least. They looked wise and
took notes. however, and then asked the
journeymen to submit their amendments in
writing. This they did and the ordinance
will be rewritten, Incorporating these
amendments
AS soon as this is done the document will
be submitted to the boss plumbers for final
revision. They also have raised objections
to it and their amendments will probably
be accepted by the board. AS they have
the last word on the subject, the ordinance
as it finally goes to the Council, will con-
form to their views.

THE CREosoTED BLOCK
Ordered for College Avenue-PrOperty
Owners Are Suspicious.

"Creosoted long leaf, yellow Southern
pine block" pavement is to be put in the
roadway of College avenue, from Twenty
fifth street to Twenty-eighth street. at a
cost to property owners of $500 foot on
each side of the street. The contract for
the work was awarded yesterday by the
Beard of Public Works to Daniel Foley at
that figure. NJ. A. Downing, president of
the board, says he is not interested in the
creosote plant. Property owners are al
ready wondering whether they will share
the fate of Mchigan-street residents who
paid $3.50 extra for less than enough creo-
sote than it would take to make a man
bat his eye" according to public declara-
