Star Pointer was sold at auction at
Madison Square Garden, and few of his
friends had the slightest idea he
thought of being a bidder for the great
horse. After the bidding had ceased
and the PAGER had been knocked down
to some one for the sum of SIG, 100, Muir
ply was prepared to let it go at that.
few moments later it was announced
that the last bidder was not able to
furnish satisfactory reference, and
did not have the cash with which to
protect his bid, Murphy allowed his
voice to ring out in the big place but
once. He called out. ia, $780," and a few
minutes later the horse was his. At that
time he was by no means sure he ha
secured bargain, but he has no
thought to the contrary now.

MARKET REPORTS
NEW YORK MARKET.


New York, Sept. 16.-The market

level of prices lower after day Of
great irregularity and constant move.
ment up and down the whole list over
narrow range. Quite large number
of shares showed small fractional gains
and few stocks showed notable rises
but the Changers, Vanderbilts, Trunk
lines and Transcontinental lines as a
whole declined in value during the day
Prices were in fact higher at the
opening but liquidation quickly set in
and prices generally receded. The
closing out of accounts of failed firm
under the rules of the Stock Exchange
had something to do with the under
tone of heaviness which was manifest
all day. The mark weakening of the
exchange market in the last half hour
OF trading served to steady prices of
some stock to some extent, the decline
not only being checked, but recoveries
being shown in the closing transac-
lions in few stocks. The posted rates
for both long and short accounts were
reduced 4 cent to 4S3 and 4S51s respec-
lively.
mitigated from time to time by the
strength manifested by special stocks
The Northern Pacific issues were at
one time in special demand and showed
marked advances as was also true of
Consolidated Gas, Pitsburg C. c. &
st. Louis. Chicago Western and the
Minnesota & st. Louis stocks. All of
these reacted from the best but most
of them remained at net advance
over last nights close. Pitsburg c. C.
and ST. Louis common and preferred
show net gains of LIZ and points re-
spectively. The Minnesota & st. Louis
all three are left with net advances of
2 points or over. Consolidated Gas al
so gained 2 points net after having
been points higher.
Other marked gains were Ice pfd.,
Buffalo, Rochester and Pitsburg, 31h,
Chicago, Great Western pfd. a, 3. do. b,
Evansville & Terre Haute pfd., 2%,

 A railroad man was arrested Satur- day afternoon by Marshal Finley for being drunk and down, and was con- fined in the city jail. He evidently did not like his quarters for after he had sobered up sufficiently Saturday night, he scaled the walls of the jail yard and made his escape and has not been seen since. Consequently he did not appear for trial in the police court this morning.
 Star: Monday night Constables Manciet and Frazier were informed that a cutting scrape had occurred in Barrie Libre. They went up to the corner of Meyer and Mccormick Sts. where they found drunken Mexican bloody as a butcher from severe cuts on his neck and arm, which were said to have been caused by a drunken Papago Indian from San Xavier.
