Plumacher had taken his bathing tow
els from his room to go to his bath
house to take bath, when some of the
Arabians who are under the protection
of said consul came to see him.
las II is well known that the consul
receives all classes of visitors with the
same courtesy, he invited them 10 sit
down on the porch.
'As II is well known that the consul
was listening to what they had to say
a tremendous crash was heard. At
first every one thought II was an
earthquake, but by running from the
piazza of the house they found that
the fiagstaft had broken off three feet
from the ground ard had smashed the
bath house Ia splinters In its fall.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York. Aug 29.-Prices of stocks
broke sharply today and showed depres-
sion throughout. The first rally showed
considerable vlgor but later in the day
the recuperatve power of the market be-
came feebler and the close was barely
steady at slightly agove the lowest. Net
losses ranged from 1 to over per cent. in
almost all leading stocks. There was a
growing disposition to realize both by
professional traders and by outside. In
some of the leading stocks the opening
was about the lowest of the day. Others
held quite firmly for the greater part of
the days session, but eventually yielded
TO the persistent demonstration of the
bears in other stocks. There was a steady
absorption of stocks at the decline, which
was especially marked in Burlington and
st. Paul Total sales, 472900 shares.
