STOCKS RATHER HEAVY.
Effect of Supreme Court Decision in
Freight Association Case.

ASSOcihIiOH
New York, March 20. Stocks after a
steady opening became active and weak.
Firms with Western connections were again
heavy sellers of the gran gers and South
western issues, and under this pressure
prices dropped anywhere from 1-2 to 1 ga
per ccat- There were no new developments
to account for the heaviness of the market,
and the desire Of holders to sell is still due
to the decision rendered on Monday by the
United States Supreme Court in the Trans
Missouri Freight Association case.
The opinion prevails that the roads viii
have to abandon the various associations,
and that lively cutting of rates will be wit
messed in the early future. Burlington &

GRAND SPRING OPENING.
Mayer & Pettit's Furniture Store
"En Fcte."

This well known and popular store is
looking its prettiest today, the occasion
being the annual spring opening. Visi-
tors have thTonged the big floors from the
first thing this morning, feasting their
ewes On the multitude of lovely articles
of furnitGre, brio -a-brac, fancy pieces
and knick-Snacks with which the store
is crowded.
The immense increase of floor space
found necessary to accommodate the stock
speaks volumes for the rapid growth of
business. The firm has been in existence
but two years, and yet it ranks now as
one OF the great mercantile ventures of
the District Fair dealing and honest,
straigh forward methods never fail to
bring success.
Furniture of high grade, artistic in de
sign, thoroughly well made and seasoned,
has never been sold in Washington at the
prices that now obtain. This firm is the
pioneer of moderate prices, combined with
strictly high-grade quality, and the public
have evidently appreciated that fact
The eight great floors TO be described
in detail would occupy too much space;
a visit will give far better idea OF the
variety, taste, and beauty there displayed.
Suffice it is to say that every article
that a house requires from a lamp to
full parlor suite can be seen here in
dozens of different designs and materials;
all best quality; an moderately priced

aday, Mexican veteran.
Alexander Mcconnell Kenaday, secretary
OF the National A association OF Veterans Of
the Mexican War, a veteran ofthat war ami
former newspaper worker died at his resi-
dence at zoos u street this morning. aged
seventy-three. lie had been q sufferer for
long time from diseases incident to old
age. He leaves widow and a sister The
funeral will be held Saturday morning, and
VIII be in charge OF Undertaken LawIer
Mr.. kenaday was well -kno wn in Mexican
Veteran circles throughout the United
states. 1t was largely owing TO his efforts
that the bin was passed raising the pen
sion Of veterans OF that war from So to
S12 per month. He was born in Wheeling,
w. Va, December 8, 1924, and early in
life worked as an apprentice in the office
Of the st. Louis Republican He served
through the Mexican war with distinguished
bravery, a notable instance showing his
personal bravery occurring at the battle
OF Cherubusco. when SerGt. h enaday leaped
into burning ammunition wagon and
threw out boxes ofpowder thus preventing
a disastroas explosion. AT the close Of the
war Mr. henaday went 10 California, and
later 10 New York, where, in l SCI he mar
ried Miss Mary Louise Canniff. They
have had five children, none OF whom sur
yive, however.
Mr.. kenaday was an ardent advocate OF
trades unionisIn, and during his life edited
several newspapers devoted To the ca Use. In
1853 he was delegated to organize In
San Francisco the first union OF all trades
in that city. This movement culmina ted in
1867 by the adoption OF his petition for an
elght-hour law in the California legisla-
ture. which paved the way for later na-
tional enactnents.
In July, 1866, he organized a meeting
OF Mexican Veterans in San Francisco,
which formed the beginning OF the present
national organization. In 1873 Mr. Ken
aday began the fight for a service pension
for Mexican veterans, and saw his efforts
crowned with success some years later.

THEIR DINNER DATES MIXED
Trouble Between Metropolitan Club
and Distinguished Members.
Two Sets of Diners for One Room
Lead 10 Hard Words and kxpla-
nations Yet to Come.

There is trouble between Senator Sewel,
ofNew Jersey, Mr.. George Eustis, and the
Metropolitan Club. II is OF such a serious
nature that no one is prepared TO say
where il will end. Bloodshed has not as
Yet heea predicted but litigation has.
Hard words have already passed.
On Tuesday night Senator Sewell had
the private dininC-room OF the NetropoI-
ftan Club. In the party were Vice Presi-
dent Hobart. Mr.. Abner Mckinley. Pri-
vate Secretary Porter, and several we'll
known members OF the upper House.
The dinner had only begun soup was be-
ing served, in fact. when Mr.. George EustiS.
grandson Of W. W. Corcoran and one of the
heirs Of the Corcoran estate, appeared with
q party OF has friends, also deSirous OF hay-
ing dinner in this identical private dining
room. Among Mr.. Eustis' prospective diners
were Mr.. Hinkley, the artist; Ben HELEN
and Commander Emery, L. 5 n.
II is asserted that Mr.. Eustis mques-
tiOnably had the right to the room on that
night, tEe 23d. and that Senator Sewell,
although he had also made arrangements
for a dinner party, was mistaken in his
dates and should have presented himself
tonight, the 25th. 1t is even said that unu-
sually extensive preparations had been
made for his dinner tonight, W hich involved
even the procuring of adjuncts from New
York city.
MIR Euslis stated to Mr. Sewell that he
had arranged for the room, and asked him
to with raw with his party. his he
at first refusedto do. Heated remarks are
said 10 have passed between them, of a
nature so serious that those present were
afraid they might come to blows.
The matter was finally referred TO Judge
Davis, the president OF the club, who de-
cided ia Mr. Eustis' favor. Another din
ner bad in the meantime been prepared
for the vanqUished party, but this they re-
fused to eat II is also said that Senator
Sewcl VIII refuse to settle for this dinner
or the one arranged for tonight.

President Palma, OF the Junta, who had been
in consultation at Jacksonville with Col.
Nunez 1t is i,eiieved that the Laurada has
broken down, and that those On board are
in need OF assistance. The tug Monarch has
been started from Pensacola On the same
errand, and is now cruising among the
Florida Keys.
From caDlegrams received from Havana
it is almost certain that the Laurada Las
not landed her big cargo OF munitions OF
war, and it is reluctantly admitted by Gu
bans here that her mission has thus far
been failure. The seizure at Jackson
Vile OF the steamer Three Friends for vio-
lation OF the neutrality laws, is also the
cause OF Encouragement to the friends OF
Cuba.
The Laurada was seen off Waiting S
Island on March 10 by the steamship Gully,
which arrived herelast night from Jamaica.
She had her cargo still on Eoard. and was
heading to the eastward.

DROWNED IN The OLD CANAL
Body of a COlOred Man Found i'm
James Creek.
Believed TO Be That of Barbour, d
VoodOo Doctor-Police Iuves-
tigating the Case.

Another victim of the South Washington
Creek Canal, was fished out Of the foul
waters Of that stream about 5 O'Clock this
morning by Policemen Thomas Henry and
McGraw, just below the * street bridge.
The dead man, who is coIored and about
fifty years OF age, had, from his appear
ance and condition, been overheard Ior at
least a week. The corpse had evidently
lain in the mire "A the bottom of the canal
until this morning, when it came to the
surface, and was floating down stream
toward tie river when discovered by some
loungers on the banks.
After teing taken to the morgUe, the
clothes of the dead man Were searched ty
Morgue Master VIII Schoneberger, who
found in his pockets about $50 medals,
ConHempraung different events, from
the celebration of the landing OF Columbus
to President Mckinley 'sinauEUration. Also
an ppen-face nickel watch. silk lag con-
tanning herbs and cats claws and load
stone or magnet.
The man has a full head Of kinky hair,
side whiskers, and was fairly well dressed.
Mr.. SchonebergeT believes his name is
Barbour. "voo1oo" and herb doctor, who
resided in Clicks alley northwest.
Barbour was weii-known city char
acter-well known to the police cf the
Fourth and Eighth precincts. He sold
charms TO drive away trouble, care and
enemies. and profcssed to be. able to cure
all diseases flesh is heir to, as well as to
settle lovers quarrels, reunite man and
wife. and perform other nlaTveis. 1t is
believed he sold the medals and cat
claws as charms against evil.
The place at which the man is supposed
to have walked overheard to his death is
unprotected ny rails or even an emhank-
Incnt, the adjoining field being on level
with the brink of the noisome canal.
Coroner Rammett and the police are
investigating the matter this afternoon
to determine whether the herb doctor
came to his death 10y accident or was the
victim Of foul play.
