MARKETS AND STOCKS.
MnlI Street IsnuicM.

New York, Feb. 6-The dealings at the
Stock Exchange were on a very small
scale today. Stocks were rather irregu-
lar. A few of the prominent issues reced-
ed fractionally, but before the expiration
of the first hour of trading the market
showed a tendency to improve. Sugar
was decidedly steadler and the bears on
the stock were less aggressive. American
Spirits was more active, the common ris-
ing 7s to 1873 and the preferred ia to 80. In
the railway group, North Pacifics were
notably firm. The managers of the re-
organization syndicate completed the
deal with the Berlin capitalists today by
calling i'm all the common and preferred
stock held by the members of the under
writing syndicate. The variations in the
general railway list were insignificant.
In the inactive issues Long Island dropped
ia to As on light transactions. The mar
ket in the closing dealings was firm in
tone. Net changes show gains of 7sa1s
per cent, the lndustrials leading.

DIED OF A BRUTAL BEATING.
Former Watchman of an Insane
Asylum Arrested for HOmicidp

Philadelphia, Feb. 7.-Walter Clinch,
formerly a night watchman at the
State Hospital for the Insane at Nor
ristown, was arrested here yesterday
on the warrant sworn out by ID. d.
Richardson, the superintendent, charg-
ing him with having caused the death
of William McCue, an inmate. McCue
was convict in the Eastern Peniten-
tiary and was adjudged insane by a
committee appointed by Judge Gordon
and was removed to the hospital five
weeks ago. He died soon afterward,
apparently of a brutal beating.
The cOroner's investigation resulted
in the dismissal of three employees of
the hospital. Suspicion attached to
Clinch. Steps were taken for his ap-
prehension, and Detective Geyer found
him here

TEDDY HALE DEFEATED.
Lewis Gimm, the Cleveland Long
Distance Rider, Wins the Victory.

Cleveland, o., Feb. 7.--Lewis Gimm,
the Cleveland long distance bicycler,
defeated Teddy Hale, the Irish cham
pion, in 100-mile race at Central ar
mory last night. For 80 miles the rid
ers "jockeyed" to tie each other and
then let loose. Gimm took the lead, and
although Hale managed to get abreast
several times he was each time forced
to give way. In the last two laps Gimm
increased his lead a little finishing
twenty feet or SO ahead of Hale. The
official time was four hous and fifty
six seconds. The last mile was made
in 2,39.
The race was under League of Amer
lean Wheelmen auspices for $3.50 a side
and percentage of the gate receipts.

INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLISM.
They Think Abroad Initial Action

London, Feb. THE effect of Sena-
tor Wolcott's mission in the interests
of bimetallism will only be known af-
ter his return to Washington from Eu-
rope. The active bimetallists in par
Lament whom Mr.. Wocott has seen
hold that the initiative for a new inter-
national conference should be taken by
the United States government and that
the conference should meet in Wash
ington.
The British government would un-
douhtedly send representatives to
Washington. The idea of a fresh con-
ference at Brussels finds no favor in
English monetary circles.

of the poisonous gas which was gen

tons of the water which should have
been their natural habitat. 1t was
known that the gas was at the bottom
OF all the trouble, but exactly where
the gas came from was what so Puzzlcc
the Investigators. The intercollegiate
finally took the matter in hand and q
