THE STOCK MARKET.
Old Issues of Government Bonds Adj

New York. Aug. IBID prices for the old
issues of Government bonds were ad-
vanced today 1-ia1-2 per cent, and on
large dealings the new threes established
a new high record. The strength of Gov
ernment bonds may be reasonably re-
ferred TO the dual influence of the pro-
posals for peace instituted by Spain and
to the low rates for money. In general
the same influences were effective in the

to the murder had received the attentions of
both Thorn and Guldensuppe jealousy sprang
up between the two men, winch led to fight
between them in the womans presence and for
revenge and to get Guldensuppe out of the way,
Thorn planned to make away with him. Mrs.
Mack was as active he in the making of the
plans and early in June last year she hired the
Woodside cottage. On June 2G Guldensuppe went
to the cottage with Mrs. Mack, believing, upon
her representations, that he and she We're TO live
there during the summer. Thorn was hidden in a
closet on the second floor Of the cottage and
it was arranged between him and Mrs. Mack that
he was to shoot Cuidensuppe as he ascended the
stairs. Thorn, peering through the half-olosed
blinds OF the bathroom window the second
floor saw Mrs Mack, who remained in the va d.
d op her handkerchief as a signal that Gulden-
suppe had entered the house. The murderer
counted his victims footsteps as he ascended the
stairs. and as he passed the closet, shot him
through the head from behind.
He then placed the body in the bathtub and
called Mrs. Mack to look at it. After the woman
had gone away, Thorn disInembered Guldensup-
pes body and wrapped the several parts up in
oilcoth and paper, which Mrs, Mack had pur-
chased for the purpose. Tile next day the two
dropped one of the bundles, containing the half
of the trunk and the upper portions Of the legs
from the end OF ferryboat, and two hours Later
il was found in dock close by tile ferry slip by
some boys who were in swimming there. The
other half of the trunk and the arms were found
two days later wrapped in a piece of the same
oilcloth in the woods at Highbridge, where
Thorn and Mrs. Mack had taken il in phaeton.
The next day the remainder Of the body. with
the exception of the he'd, which was never found,
hoated up to dock in the BROOKLYN navy yard.
The body was identified by peculiar marks upon
it. in spite of the fact that large portion of the
skin on the chest had been cut away to eface a
large tattoo mark. II was learned from the dead
mans fellow-workrnen at the baths that he and
Thorn had known Mrs. Mack land had fought
about her. Mrs. Mack was discovered at her
home preparing TO sail for Europe and was
promptly arrested.
Suspicion fell upon Thorn, but he was missing
from his accustomed haunts and he was not cap
tured until July 6. He had confded the story OF
his crime TO a barber named Gotha with whom
he had worked, and he, fearing that Thorn would
kill him to keep his secret more securely told
the whole tale to the police and betrayed Thorn
into their hands
The police said that Thorn confessed TO them
while locked up at police headquarters but at
his trial he accused Mrs. Mack of the crime
Mrs Mack at her trial turned states evidence,
telling how Thorn had committed the crime,
and saved her neck.

The midsummer dullness and the un-
certainty over the peace situation had its
effect in the opening of the week S busi-
ness in the stock market yesterday. There
was slight increase in the trading over
the days of last week and there was
little better movement IN prices, but
neither of these tendencies was strong
enough to be dignified with more than
passing notice in commenting on the un-
questioned lassitude of the whole list.
The industrials were manipulated nearly
all day into a semblance of liveliness.
The notice of assured peace would have
an immediate effect, and that probably is
the thing that would revive the business
of the exchange during the dog days"
The prospects of peace are known only
in Madrid. Up to a late hour last night
President Mckinley had heard nothing
from Spain as TO the way that his peace
proposition would be received. 1t is very
certain that there is large percentage
of the street that does not hope for much
in the way of immediate results from
the note sent to Spain.
