CONTROLLER STILL REFUSES.
Will Not Pay Warden Boland's Bills
for Feeding Prisoners.

Wilkes Barre, July 7.-Controller Jo-
seph d. Lloyd received this afternoon
Warden Boland's bill for feeding the
prisoners at the country Jail during
June and says he will not pay the bill
for the same reason he refused pay
ing the bills Of April and May. The
warden has, for many years, been paid
at the rate of 80 cents a day for feed
ing each prisoner. the price being fixed
by the prison board.
The controller, however contends
that the county can feed the prison.
ers at ~ cents each per day and re-
fuses to approve of the bill. The war
den has not accepted the controller S
price and the matter will undoubted-
ly end in a legal contest. The differ
ence in the rates for the three months
is $2,476.94. The warden asks $3,371.15
at the old rate, but the controller will
allow but $S94.21, at his rate.

THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York, July 7.-Today's market
for securities showed the most notable
advances in prices that have occurred
since a week ago from the last Monday
the day of the bulge" which was
looked upon as marking the culmina-
ton of the upward movement. But
whereas the sales on that day reached
an aggregate over 100000 shares, to-
days total sales fell below 100000
shares, which Is the lowest for many
weeks except yesterday. The market
was in the last degree professional and
reflected no widespread public senti-
ment regarding the outlook for values
and probably no very well defined or
competent private sentiment.
The total sales of stocks today were
1858 shares.
