The course OF the market yesterday was
IA exact accord with the prediction made
by Mr W. B. Hibbs, and published in
Yesterdays Morning Times. Mr.. Hibbs
said that after the terrible shakeup Of
Tuesday thele would probably he further
decline yesterday morning, which would
be followed by Il recovery and advance in
prices, ana that the close would he stroug,
with prices above the close Tues day night.
Exactly tnis sequence OF events did occur.
The market at the opening was weak and
rallied apparently On the support OF the
larger interests, with the help Of rumorS
that gold was coming this way. The
tone was steady and duh at the recovery,
and despite the denial Of the Cuban war
and yellow fever scare stories, tie I'M
preston OF the street was that the
liquidation of the excessive bull accounts
had not entirely run it's course At the
outset, weak holders were disposed To
Continue their liquidation, but later on
the situa ton improved, with decide d
manipulatve support appearing IN
number of leading stocks. The close was
strong at a general advance. 1t seems
probable that there win be a continuance
of the rise today, though this should
not be depended on, as certainty, by any
means

Washington, Dec. 15.-The caucus OF

members being present despite the
stormy weather. Representative Rich.
ardson of Tennessee acted as chair
man and Representatives Cummings OF

az secretaries.
Representative Bailey Of Texas took
the initiative by presenting the follow

Resolved That II is the sense of this

the house of representatives ought to

retire the greenbacks and treasury

Mr.. Bailey made the main speech, urg-

The Rev. David NJ Howell, rector
of st. Johns Episcopal Church in
Monticello, was arrested Friday by
Sheriff Watson on complaint of his
wife Lizzie, who alleges that he as
saulted her ON Thursday at the rec
tory. Justice McMillen issued the
warrant for the clergyman arrest,
on an affidavit of Mrs. Howell, sup
ported by the evidence of a servant
girl.
The complaint says that he seized
her by the wrists and throat, ,choked
her, threw her violently ON the
floor, and then forcibly elected her
from the dining room.
The defendant was arraigned and
pleaded not guilty, and obtained an
adjournment until December 9TH
for the purpose of making applica-
ton to County Judge Smith to GER
tify the case to the Grand Jury.

Where to Get Christmas Present,

Take q turn around the town and
see what our merchants have in the
line of Holiday goods. If you want
all kinds of staples, and you do, see
Mitchell's stock, also Brown and
Armstrong;, visit Ryman and
Wells, little holiday mixed with
them all, and if you want any kind
of heating call on Klein, then drop
in at Hafner's for horse goods, and
if you want fancy articles ask G. O.
Armstrong to supply you. You can
very proftably wind up the tour by
calling at the Press Office and sub
scribing either for yourself, if you
are not already a subscriber or as a
New Years present to a friend.
Such an act will be twice blessed.
