ST. PAUL's DIVIDEND.
Wall Streets Little Excitement Yester-
 day.


 New York. Sept. S.-The St. Paul di- rectors met in the Johnson building, in this city this afternoon to act on the semp-annual dividend on the common and preferred dividends. The interest in this action for some time has been greater than in any other pending de- velopment. The annual report just is- sued showed over IA per cent. earned on the stock in the last fiscal year, and the Wall street public anticipated that the common stock would be placed on 6 per cent. basis.
 Information to railroad interests, however was that the dividend rate would be only 5 per cent. per annum. It was generally understood that P. D. Armour of Chicago was absolutely op- rosed to any other action, but bulls on the stock thought the Morgan inter- ests would work with William Rocke- feller. who was in favor of increasing the dividend rate to per cent. per annum
 The stock closed yesterday at 112 7-S, and to-day in the early trading ad- vanced to 115 on buying based on re- ports of an increased dividend. While FJlG D1eeClESS was III plOSlCoS llCoNS ing appeared in the stock, causing a break of 3 per cent. Then Vice Presi- dent Bond left the directors room and announced that the dividend was only 2 1-2 per cent. Over one hundred mes- sengers and reporters were waiting in the corridors, and they at once started pell mell for the street, many of them jumping the stairs in order to save time. When the news reached the Ex- change there was a general rush to sell not only St. Paul, but the entire list, so great was the disappointment. St. Paul quickly dropped to no IA, de- cline of 3-4 per cent. and Rock Island and other stocks made material losses. The company in April declared per cent. regular and 1-2 per cent. extra, so that the semi-annual dividend of ? 1-2 per cent. to-day is really an improve nent in it's dividend basis.

The New York papers are telling story
about the alleged rowdy actions of Fred
Clarke of the Louisvilles. Among other
Things 1t was claimed that Clarke threw a
bat at Scrappy Joyce There are several
reasons why this story is not true. To
start with, Clarke is not given to such a

Clarke is alive and well is another circum-
stance that gives the lie to the story
Clarke or nobody else could throw a bat

is the way yesterdays Philadelphia Press
described it,
The Senators were the Phillies guests
yesterday afternoon at Broad and Hunt

Pitcher Piatt. He showed them few new

matinee was over the Phillies had added
six points to their percentage column.
A hard game was looked forward to, as
Mercer was in the box for Washington,
but Winnie was not as effective as usual

took his place. did much better, but the
game had been lost, as Piatt was almost

Phillies took the game by score of to

comrades, most of the chances offered by
the Washington men being easy. The only
real hard chance of the game was Wr1g-

fourth. which was captured by Flick after
a hard run.
The visitors started of on Piatt as though
they would repeat the dose Chicago gave
him, Setback and Wagner both making

their only run of the inning. Anderson
