GASTON'S ARGUMENT.
He Scores Adah Richmond in Stet-
son Case.
Says Both Were Married at Time of
Providence Ceremony.

Boston, Mass, March 1.-THE arguments OF
counsel upon the issue whether or not Adah
Richmond is the lawful wife Of John stetsop.
Jr., and as such is entitled to contest stet-
sons will. were presented in the Supreme
Court today.
Mr.. CASTOR, counsel for the trustees under
the will, spoke first. He s,id the respond.
ents case was saturated with fraud and per.
jury and called attention to her long silence
on the question OF marriage to Stetson, not
withstanuing the fact that he had openly
and publicly married Mrs. Stokes. Continu-
ing, Mr.. CASTOR said: There is no question
in my mind but that Stetson and Adah Rich.
mond went to Providence; that a joliacation
was had at the Howard, and that some an.
nouncement of marriage was made; and
that they lived together as man and wife,
But, admitting that this story is true at this
point; supposing she did go through ccre-
mony in Providence in presence OF minister
of the gospel, Stetson then had a wife. born
Melvina Woodrum, whom he was Wooded to
in 1853, and from whom he was not divorced
until April, 1874.
But at this late date they claim marriage
in the Theater Comique in New York. But
Adah Richmnod was asked by this court bo-
sore this hearing to specify the place where
nc was married to Stetson. She gave the
date as December Z, 1870, and the place ms
Providence. She said she sfterward lived in
New York with Stetson, but she said nothing
about now ceremony contract In New

>" inanCial World.

The market opened n trife lower this
morning, but the depression was merely
temporary, after which the bulls took the
stocks and carried them materially higher tho
Vandorbilts being In the lead. There was
some little selling of.B. O., but the sentiment
even in regard TO the Grangers was inclined to
be bullish.
The early London cables were very weak.
They showed that consols had dropped below
liz and that all the markets were affected by
the war rumors. The Vanderbilts were fairly
firm, but the other American securities were
weak the declines extending to y per cent
The later advices were more encouraging, but
the New York foreign houses had selling or
ders aggregating 10000 shares. consisting
chiefly of Reading. ST. Paul and Louisville is
sues.
Western Union was very strong today. Sow
eral OF tho commission houses that already have
thousands of shares to their credit tried to
purchase more, but the traders had taken the
market away from them.
Missouri Pacific was more favorably re-
garded today, and during the first hour the
stock rallied to 10 3-8. The statement Of the
company that IL stood ready to meet all the
April coupons at only per cent. interest, as
well as the statements OF Mr.. Gould and Mr..
Sage tended to restore confidence in the future
of the property.
Joseph today is very confident in regard to
Rock Island. He says that there is deal un-
der way by which, within a comparatively
few days, this stock will be carried up 10
points. He is of the opinion that the company
will resume its dividends and enter the per
cent. ranks within short time, but that before
this takes place the stock will sell around 80.
New York dispatch TO Hallett, Anderson
e. Co. states that a bullish sentiment governs
the situation. The security market continues
to reflect strong demand for the choicest SO.
curities, which is gradually raising the level
of prices. Surface indications certainly point
to broader conditions.
The bears turned their attention to Tobac-
co after the first hour, and by several large
selling orders drove the stock down to 76 be-
forenoon.
American Bell Telephone today declared its
regular quarterly dividend of So per share.
