tertainment at the Masonic Temple hall

was the spirit test of the renowned

slips contained the names of dead per-
sons. By aid of his mysterious power.
Tyndall selected the two slips with the
names OF the dead persons from the lot
and handed them to the persons that had
written them. Many of the tests of the
previous evening, varied by new features
were demonstrated. DR.. Tyndall re-
mained at the St. Julien today, but it is

The Klondike Fever.

Every day increases our knowledge of
the difficulties awaiting those who are
now in Alaska with the hope of reaching
Klondlke this season. Semi-oflcial cor
respondence given out from Washington
gives rise to gloomy anticlpations of pos
sible hardship, suffering and even death
tor hundreds of people and the hope is
that our government feels forewarned
enough to take the necessary steps for
mitigating them.
In this connection the intimation oi
reckless overlooking Of vessels to Alaska
points contrary to law, is a reflection or
the efficiency of the government official:
who are paid good salaries to guard the
safety of the sea-going public. The prac
tices of overlooking all vessels, and o.
undertaking voyages by unseaworth,
craft, should be sternly prohibited

Repudiated.

Repudiated.
A special from Rico to the Denver
News gives brief interview with Sena.
tor Teller. on the subject of Judge Hayt's
failure to refuse the Wolcott Republi
can nomination. In response to the
question, "Senator, what are your plans
in this campaign in view of the fact that
Judge Hayt has accepted the Mckinley
nomination." the senator replied:
"If Hayt has accepted the Mckinley
Republican nomination he ought, in
common decency, to decline the Silver
Republican nomination" He concluded
by saying: 81 stand by what l said in
my speech at Glenwood Springs. 1t is
not necessary for me to say more than
that"
Senator Teller said at Glenwood: "If
silver is paramount, the question is para
mount to any other. Stand shoulder to
shoulder and let the men who don't be-
lieve in it go to the Mckinley Republi
cans and stay there. You cannot make
such an alliance with the McKinleyites)
without disgracing yourselves and iH ur-
ing the cause for which you profess so

SHOT DOWN BY DEPUTIES.
A Band of Marching Miners Shot Down
Like Dogs.

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. II-As a crowd of
miners were marching to Latimore yes
terday afternoon, they were checked by
a band of deputy sheriffs under COM
mand of Sheriff Martin. The order of
the sheriff to halt and return to Hazleton
was disregarded and he gave an order
to fire. From fifteen to twenty of the
men were killed and forty wounded,
many mortally. The men killed were
mostly Hungarians.
The sheriff claimed that the shooting
was done to save his life as he was being
brutally assaulted and beaten by the
men. When seen after the shooting he
did not bear any marks of violence. He
says that he ordered to fire over the
heads of the men, but that a deputy gave
the order to shoot to kill, Public indig-
nation runs high against the sheriff and
he is badly frightened at the conse-
quences of his hasty action.
There was little sleep last night in this
town. The excitement and strain kept
people awake and moving.
The arrival of the militia this morning
was new feature of the situation. The
9th regiment of Wilkesbarre and the 18th
of Scranton arrived first and by noon
nearly the first battalion of the Pennsyl-
vanla National guard were modified
near here. The presence of the blue
coats made many breathe easier, but
others knowing the deep feeling existing
over the shooting feared their presence.
The troops numbering 5000 men, COM
prising two troops of cavalry and two
battalions, made a march this morning
for the purpose of a demonstration of
their strength and then camped in a
grove between here and Latimore. The
town is practically under martial law.
The strikers are somewhat cowed by
the presence of the troops. With the
exception of the labor trouble at Scran-
ton in 1877, no greater excitement has
ever been experienced here.
A mass meeting of citizens held today
denounced the action of the sheriff and
demanded his prosecution. They also
protested against the presence of the
troops and declared them unnecessary.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Feb 15.-There was n
larger volume of trading ON the stock
exchange to-day than for n good many
days. The activity was practically CON
fined, too to the first few minutes after
the opening when the whole list tended
downward and to the last hour, which
saw a smart rally and general net gains
on the days transactions. The slump
in prices at the opening was wholly due
to the influence of the panicky condition
of mind, reported on the continental
Bourses and on the fall on cons0ls and
other securities in London. American
securities were affected in London along
with others and the opening prices here
were on a level with London quotations.
The opening Of hostilities reported to
have occurred between Greece and Tur-
key indicated to the minds of the trad
ers that an embodiment of the European
powers was an inevitable CONSCIENCE and
they sold accordingly. The bears were
not slow to press the advantage thus of
fered and they found still further argu-
ments for lower prices in the hearing Of
the legislative inquiry into trusts in
progress in this city. Sugar fell in price
*, Tobacco 81, Chicago Gas /, General
Electric rs; Leather preferred. 1&,
Rubber, preferred, q, and American
Spirits, preferred, 1A. 1t was not until
the closing hour that the rally set in
which proved more general and animated
than any movement of stock for many
days and which carried the average price
OF securities to the highest of the day.
The rally was doubtless due for the most
part, to the more favorable aspect of af-
fairs in Europe as reelected from the
various BOurses and from London A
conviction seemed prevalently that the
powers were in accord in their intention
to prevent the Greeks from attacking
Crete. London bought quite heavily and
a general one of assurance of confidence
peryaded the market The bond market
fell off in sympathy with stocks and the
subsequent recoveries for the most part
trivial
The bond market displayed a reaction
airy tendency, the recessions being caused
by the same influences as those in stocks
Governments were in brisk request
with some Improvement in prices on pur-
chases by prominent banking interests.
The sluggishness of the general specula-
ton is forcing considerable amounts of
iuvestment capital in these securities
which fails to secure adequate employ
