exchange during the greater part of the

on securities.
Reports that several western roads
We're ready to withdraw from various
freight and passenger associations in
accordance with the supreme court rul-
ing started heavy liquidations in the
shares of the roads referred to. These
issues were most pronounced in the
downward movement and at one time
showed losses of 2@25s per cent. Rock
Island and Burlington and Quincy bore
the brunt of the attack
The general list declined anywhere
from " to "a per cent, Tennessee Coal,
Louisville and Nashville Big -Four,

leading. London houses at first
bought, but subsequently turned sell
ers, and the liquidation by the foreign
ers finally carried Louisville and Nash
values forced small margined holders
to sell and the execution of stop orders
accelerated the downward movement
In the industrials Sugar fell to HE

sympathy with the general market re-

supporting orders were Forthcoming

In the final transactions the bears
made efforts to turn paper profits into
cash and under the process a sharp

| Shore were the leaders. Jersey Central
rose from S4s4, to S714, and Lake Shore
from 166 to 16S. The strength of Jersey

its February statement, which showed
an unexpected gain in net earnings of

suit of the rise in the stocks named the

MARErr CASE DECIDED.
Yale College, City Hospital and Public
Library Receive Importnnt Benetits.


Library Receive Important Benefits.
An important decision of the supreme
court now sitting in New Haven was
given out yesterday at Hartford, where
by Yale college and the public library
of New Haven, besides other institu-
lions receive increased donations, and
the Lakeville school for imbeciles has
lost in it's last effort to gain the fund
left by the late Philip Marett for the
relief of imbeciles and weak minded
persons, and the fund will be divided by
the trustee, Henry 7. Blake, among the
alternative beneficiaries which include
Yale college, the general hospital on
Cedar street, the New Haven public Ii
brary, ST. Francis and New Haven Or
phan asylums and the trustees for the
INDECENT poor of this city.
The action was in the form of an in
junction and still of a suit of inter-
pleader to determine to whom the trus-
tees should pay the money.
Ex-Judge Harrison year ago
brought suit of injunction in behalf of
the treasurer of the state of Connect
cut, in which Mr.. Blake was enjoined
from paying over to Yale, the city of
New Haven, the hospital and the Others
| the share which they claimed of the
| fund, until the supreme court should
determine whether the state of Connec-
| ticut had lost it's rights in connection
| with this fund.
| Last year he instituted the injunc-
ton case against Mr.. Blake and it was
tried before Judge G. w. Wheeler. The
claim of Judge Harrison was that the
state had not had notice of the hearing
before the committee on Judiciary in
! Hartford when the matter was under
consideration and that it was not UNI
derstood, and that if the treasurer had
been aware that it was being acted up
on he would have appeared and urged
it's acceptance. He therefore asked the
court to order the trustee to pay the
money over to the state treasurer,
1t appears that Mr.. Marett provided
| that if any of the beneficiaries should
decline the fund left by the will il
| SIOulu pe ulSlIlDuLtu dilOHS Tie OlHel
beneficiaries. The legislature declined
the trust for the Lakeville school. Had
they accepted the money would have
gone to that Institution.
The fund originally amounted to only
$4,000, but 1t has accumulated interest
so that 1t now amounts to 100000 The
proportions by which the fund is now
to be distributed are divided into
ninths. Yale, the hospital society and
the trustees of the fund for the INDECENT
poor are each to receive two-ninths OF
what is left of the fund after the pay
ment of the expenses of the litigation
The free public library, the Rev Ha-
! ven orphan asylum and the ST. Francis
orphan asylum will each receive one
ninth of the fund
If there were no expenses to be paid
Yale, the hospital and the trustees OF
the poor would receive $40, 900 each, anC
the library and the two orphan asylums
would receive $4,000 each, AS 1t nov
is. however, the college, hospital an6
trustees for the poor will receive In the
neighborhood of ST. 900 or $4,000 each
and the library and the two orphan
asylums will receive between IS. 900 ant
$4,000 each. +"

The monitor Wyandotte will be NOV

a new position alongside the stone
abutment on the east side of the chan

The reason for the change is that the

has been pulling down the side of the
wharf, and that they would find it more
profitable to hire the berth to transient
schoouers.

Antisspsio Qualities In Coins.

IL Is weii-knOwn fact that paper
money is liable to transfer bacteria
from one person to another, and thus
tospread contagious diseases. Il is also
supposed that coins, which are more in
circulation than notes, might similar
ly act as agents for spreading disease,
and Investigations in that direction
were made at the Vienna university
when Austria changed it's currency to
the gold basis. A report about his OBJ
servations was recently published by
DIR. Vincent in. the Vienna Medical Ga
zette, in which he states that metals
act, so to speak, as antiseptics in regard
to bacteria, or microbes, the fact being
that these microscopic organisms have
but very short lease of life while on
metals. The destroying Influences of
metals increase with their temperature,
and also with the close touch of the
micro-organisms with the metal. At a
temperature of 90 TO 100 degrees Fahren-
heit, which is common in the pockets
where money is carried, the destruction
of microbes occurs within three hours.
The various metals used for coins are
somewhat different in this respect, sill
YER being the most antiseptic and gold
the least. Copper and bronze hold
about the middle between the two more
precious metals. - st. Louis Globe
