MARKETS AND STOCKS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, March "a noteworthy
occurrence in the financial world today
was the reduction of the dividend ON
Manhattan stock from a 6 to Il 4 per
cent. basis. AS "A result the stock fell
about points to SO and then rallied
slightly ON statements by President
Gould that the road during the past
quarter had earned within $50 1000 of
the amount required for the payment
of the usual 1i2 per cent. The unfav-
orable report of the Missouri Pacific
had a distressing influence on this spe-
cialty and the stock fell from 22h to
2OIs. The statement shows q deficit
for the year of one and a quarter mill
ion dollars. New Jersey Central
opened strong, but later fell to 922s. In
the railway group, the Changers We're
staidy, but business was on a moder-
ate scale. In the industrials Tobacco
advanced sharply to 1874. Sugar de-
clned to ll5la. Near the close a de-
mand to cover shorts set in under
which the prominent issues recovered
anywhere from a to IA. Speculation
left off firm. Net changes show declines
of Aa14. Total sales We're 10000
shares.

WHAT CAME OF BREAKING THROUGH THE ICE
In a WISCONSIN RIVER In FEBRUARY.
From the Chronicle, Chicago, III.

Five years ago last winter, there was con-
siderable commotion on the banks of the
White River, Wisconsin, as q young man
named L. n. Halleck, had broken through
the ice, and was for some moments lost to
view. 1t was not long, however, before Mr.
llalleck came in sight again, and by artistic
means was fished from the fluid and restored
to society If the ducking had been all, it
would have been well, but unfortunately,
the young gentleman contracted q heavy
cold, resulting in chronic rheumatism, com
picated with disease of kidney and urinary
organs.
For six months" writes Mr.. Halleck.

late the civil service of the common
wealth and the cities thereof and of
counties having over 100000 inhabitants.
and to provide penalties for violation.
Mr.. Osbourn objected to minority rep
resentation ON the civil service com
mission, and offered an amendment that
this feature be eliminated.
The amendment fell.
Mr.. Finn offered an amendment
which had for its purpose the extern
sion Of the provision to all the counties
AS framed it only affects Philadelphia,

This amendment failed, as did a sec
ond Amendments taking in counties of
100000 population.
A third amendment making the limit

sentiment of the body to be strongly in

Harrisburg, Pa, March 9.-Previous
TO the meeting of the senate
this morning at 10 o'clock the sub-com-
mittee appointed from the joint conf
mittee of the senate and house to in
vestigate the origin. progress and cause
of the fire which destroyed the state
capitol building, made a report to the
joint committee setting forth the re-
fusal of Rev. DR. S. G. Swallow, now
awaiting trial for libel, to give the
names of informants as to criminal
negligence on the part of the state GUS
tOdian at the time. The report states
that the refusal of Rev. Swallow has
greatly retarded the work, and sug-
gests that If he be permitted to go with
out testifying. the refusal will have the
direct result of destroying the power
and force of any committee empowered
10y the legislature to investigate public
affairs, or to inquire into matters of
vital Importance. I'VE do not wish to

SENATOR PRITCHARD AND THE
LEASE

II am not a member Of the Legislature,
and have nothing to say"
This was Senator Pritchards reply to
the question as to how he stood upon the
proposition, advanced by the News and
Observer and seconded by Judge Russell,
to annul the lease of the North Carolina
railroad
or course Senator Pritchard would not
answer. When he was in the Legislature
he was always a railroad man, and out
side of the Legislature he has been a
Southern railroad attorney. He voted
in the Legislature against a Railroad
Commission, and his voice will not be
heard for the annulment Of the lease or
for anything else that would not please
the Southern Railway.
The Populist State convention put in
its platform declaration in favor of an
nulling the lease.
Therefore the Popuist who votes for
Pritchard has not only to repudiate his
platform ON silver but on this vital rail
road question as well.
