lodge meetings the other evening,
when finally they began compliment
ing each other on their habits of tenn

said one, 'see me with more than L
could carry?" mo, indeed" was the
reply. But" he continued, II have
seen you when 1 thought you would
have shown good judgement if you had
gone twice after your load"

The X-rays about which so much has
been written aud which furnish fruit
full subject for discussion, have been
found, though wonderful in disclosing
the location of bullets and other foreign
substances in ones body, to destroy
life, and in the case of q boy whose
head received two exposures to the rays
for the location Of bullet, the life in
the roots of the hair was destroyed.
While the X-rays may be of inestima-
bic benefit to humanity in many ways,
in its application to the human body it
is in its infancy as to Its possibilities
and uncertain as to the resultant
effects.

Autopsy Clears Up the Mystery Of a
Man Found Dead.

New YORK, Jan. 6.-The mystery surround
ing the death of Charles Lyons, who was
found unconscious on the Palisades Sunday
morning under circumstances which indi-
Gated murder, was thoroughly cleared up
y sterday. The man died of natural causes.
DR.. J. b. Ian ing Of Englewood tegan the
autopsy over Lyons body at the Fnglewood
Hospital. A superficial examination of the
mans bead led the physicians to express the
belief that his skull might have been frac-
tured.
The skull was opened and there was discov-
cred hu7e abs ,ess in the brain, just over
the lift DIR. Lansing said II bad evil
dently caused the mans death.
After the autopsy Coron r Ric 'rdo empanel-
led jury, who viewed the body and the i'm
quest was set for tonight.
Eefore the result Of the autopsy was made
public il was learned that man answering
Lyoas' description had be-, en- in the vicin-
ity # the Fort Lee ferry house late on Sa,ur-
day nj Int. Fl was intoxicated Some of the
passengers in the car declared that the con.
ductor quarrel ed with the man and pushed

have been Lyons, but an investigation proved
that he was John Terney OF Fort Lee.

IN THE
.$$&$.*

The general market was quiet at the open
ing but later opened up ON favorable news
from Washington. and almost all the securi'
ties began To show a marked Improvement.
London ON the opening today was the same
old two and sixpence Americans were fiat,
with prices at New York parity, except In
the case Of Louisville, which was l-S lower
than the price on this side. This was the only
change and there was no business New York
foreign houses are practically without orders
for London account
The railroad earnings that were received to-
day continue TO show signs of Improvement,
and IL is believed that these facts must have
q favorable effect after the market has settled
down. Today's reports were: Norfolk n
Western, fourth week, increase, $2S,9l0; ST.
Louis a. Western. fourth week, incresse,
1864; Missouri Pacific, fourth week, increase,
$1,000; Chesapeake 81 Ohio, fourth week.

The room today was full of bear tips on
Sugar, and IL was admitted that the stock
was in such hands that il might be carried
either way. Traders looked for higher prices
on Tobacco however, ,as 1t Is stated that many
Of the securities are now in the hands OF the
company's managers, and Union Pacific was
firm on the report that the founding bill, TO
be considered Thursday, was regarded with
more favor.

THE COTTON AND GRAIN MARKET.

The cotton market showed a great deal of
activity and strength today, and higher pri ces
seemed to be the rule.
A special dispatch to Davis & Dexter states
that many of the insiders in cotton believe
that wo are passing through a crisis in that
market. There Is "A marked falling off In re-
ceipts and the demand IL unprecedented.
However, ii is estimated the supply will cer-
tainly run very low, and IL Europe should
take alarm at the Diminishing supply much
higher prices must rule.
Price, Mccormick a. Co., in their special
dispatch 10 Allen a. Lynch. state: THE Liv-
erpool advicss this morning are decidedly IA
vorabe. The arrival market there opened at
l-64 advance, and has subsequently improved
from l1S-gs to 2-64. The spot market is reported
as hardening. Quotations are l-32 higher
and sales for the day aggregate 1900 bales.Re-
ceipts at Galveston today are 4l2S bales
against 1887 last week and 1915 last year.
The improved tone Of the Liverpool market
doubtless results from the relatively higher
movement, and therefore il receipts should
fall off materially during the next two weeks
it seems reasonable to expect substantial
Improvement in values. Early estimates OF
port receipts from 1900 to 25,0Oo, against 81.
554 last week and "a, 49, last year"
New York cotton futures opened firm.
Sales, $500 bales. January, 6.S3, bid; Febru
airy, 69I; March, 600; April 7.0S; May. 7l5:
June, 7.l9: July. z22: August, 1924; septem-
Der, 693; October, 696.
The wheat market showed underlying
strength that seemed to argue well for still
higher prices.
According TO the cables to Sullivan, Riley 81
Co., the opening Of wheat in London was
steady for passage. but cargoes in all positions
tended to dullness. Corn was quiet but
steady. American parcels f.cash wheat were
Il little dearer. The Liverpool opening on
wheat was steady, a farthing lower. Corn
was unaltered. In Berlin, May and July wheat
was u OF a mark lower. The London cables
confirm the damage to the Argentine wheat
crops.
Bartlett q Frazier wired c. franklin Nu-
gent e. Co. this morning: "There is no better
foundation for the wheat market than for
eign demand, and that is what prevented ours
from breaking yesterday, as the selling was
fairly free and some of IL of such a character
as to depress the price. II the market should
turn up from here it would find lots of
friends and many buyers. Price is good deal
a matter of sentiment, and the whole world
seems 10 think that wheat ought to be sell
ling at dollar bushel."
The primary receipts last week were 296, ,27l.
The shipments, ls4, ,62. Last year the re-
ceipts We're Alb l72 the shipments, 94,s40.

THE LOCAL STOCK MARKET.

The local brokers are about 10 effect several
changes that will be Of an important charac-
ter TO those who a'e interested in local finan-
cial affairs. One of the most important OF
these is the proposed removal Of Woeden, Ken
dali & &C. from their present Office IN Market
square TO IL Exchange street. Although the
precise date of the change has not yet tesn
announced, il VIII probably occur within u
comparatively short time. The firm hns been
considering the question Of removal for some
time, and asst week they were able to con-
clude the arrangements by which they obtained
possession Of the offices in the Industrial Trust
building formerly occupied by the firm of
Richardson a. Clark, change that VIII be APP
preciated by their many clients.
Another important change is that which Is
To be made in the firm of sullivan, Riley 81
Co Some weeks ago Mr.. Riley Withdrew
from the firm in order 10 effect other bust
ness arrangements, snd his place Is nnw to be
taken by Mr.. j. +. Morris Of California. Mr..
Morris who has recently come TO the East,
has been actively associated with financial in
teresis for several years. He Is also an old
railroad man, having boen superintendent of
construction tor the Southern Pacific Railroad
many years ago, and his last position was ts
SUPERINTENDENT of the Highland Park & Fruit
vale Railroad cf Oakland, Cal. Mr.. Morris
has also been the secretary and treasurer of
the Street Railway Association OF California.
and his coming TO Providence will undoubt-
edly make the new firm even more popular
than the old one.
Within comparatively few days Il. j.
Knight a. Co. will remove from their present
office at 81 weybosset street. Since occupying
their present quarters their business has in
creased to such an extent that their office has
become altogether too small. For this rea
son, therefore. Mr.. Knight has secured the
large offices i'm the northwest corner Of tbs
basement OF the Banigan building,and TO thes'
he will remove 'is soon as the necessary ar
rangsments can be made Tho new ofiic,
will be decorated and furnished in n manner
that will at beast compare favorably with
any brokers office in New England, and thcr,
will be every modern facility that will tend
20 the comfort or the convent cnce OF the
firms clients.

village. Ordinarily in that institution
there are almost so young ladies under
tuition besides q mum Der OF nuns,
novices, etc, amazing a total OF almost a
hundred. Most OF the STUDENT were away,
however. during the holidays. The ut
most confusion prevailed at the scene Of
the fire. Nuns and PUPILS rushed from
the place. All the young ladies as far as
can be learned, we're able to escape. To-
day they are quartered comfortsbly, and
more reported mis'iny. With tie nurs,
however. the case was different. when
the roll was called seven devoted women

Is decisive, and may well discourage the
men from soon seeking TO secure their
rights. The committee believes that
some municipal authority over the
streets OF the city may exist which can
be asserted for the public welfare and
the safety Of travellers, and require the
contract between the railway and it's en-
