Prices of Stocks SHOW Losses From One to
Three Per Cent.
New York, March 4.--Prices Of stocks
show losses of from to 8 per cent. to-
day on very small business. The
market was quite inanimate at times,
and what business there was, was con-
centrated in few leading stocks. All
of these showed weakness, but the
downward course was pursued in a
very desultory manner until the final
hour, when the bears made quite a de-
termined drive. They broke the price

stocks induced some sharp rallies, no.

Higher quotations from London lift

but the fall was practically interrupt

market were feeble and unsuccessful.
Sugar was under considerable pres
sure, but showed good resistance.
Union Pacific preferred was depressed
all day and closed over points lower.
New York Central fell at one time over
Q points, but rallied III in the final
dealings.
The local traction stocks were suf-
ferers after opening, the extreme de-
cline in Metropolitan Street Railway
reaching nearly 6 points. The gran
gers also figured largely the selling. A
large part of this selling was known to
be for washington account, and there
was inquiry for news to account for It..
Significant news was scarce and in its
absence numerous rumors were set
afloat, one to the effect that purchases
of warships abroad had been made by
the United States government. The
renewed depression of Spanish securi-
ties abroad and the news Of the pur-
chase in England Of two warships by
the Spanish government helped on the
feeling of uneasiness over the Cuban
question London operations in this
market were insignificant, the tight
ness of money in London having APP
parently put a stop to speculative ac-
llNlty mere.
Notwithstanding the hardness of the
London money rate and the tendency
to relaxation in the local requirements,
foreign exchange went lower again to-
day, demand sterling falling to 4.S4A.
Nearly all the s2,So0,0OO in gold which

due to the continued pressure of grain

IN SEARCH OF FAITH CURE.

Miss Lizzie Turney of Shelton has for
years been helpless invalid, rheumat-
ic troubles having crippled her. Of late
Miss Turney has become deeply inter-
ested in the faith cure doctrines, and
became earnestly convinced that if she
could reach Chicago, and enter the in
stitution located there for the treat
ment of such cases, she would be cured
Although without the means for MAX
ing the journey, she still believed that
she would in some way be enabled to
reach that city. Some unknown per-
son sent her 500, and on Friday she
started on her long journey. On reach
ing Bridgeport, she was taken charge
of by a member of the Bridgeport
Faith Cure society, who will accom-
pany her to her journeys end.

AMOS R. ENo's ESTATE.
Said to Have, Escaped Taxation on

Said to Have, Escaped Taxation on
Personal Property.
A New York gentleman acquainted
with the views held shortly before his
death by Amos n. Emo is authority
for the prediction that when his will is
filed for probate it will be found to
make disposition of nothing but realty.
The bulk of his personality he believes
was bestowed upon the children with
in the last year, after the example set
by other wealthy New Workers, in
order that it should not become sub
ject to the Inheritance tax, which Mr..
Emo regarded as Ubiquitous.
The fortune acquired by Mr.. Emo
during his prosperous life in dry goods,
banking and building, has been esti-
mated at between $2O,0OO,0O0 and
$50, 100000. But it is not believed that
the will, when probated, will show any
such sum, for the reason that personal
property placed as high as $40, 900, 900 is
supposed to have been divided al
ready among the testator's relatives.
The New York mail and Express"
says
''It is expected that Mr.. Eno's prop
erty interests will prove much larger
account of them, as far back as in
1880, placed them at $1S,500,000, and, de-
spite the voluntary payment of $4,200,-
900 to the Second National Bank since
that time to cover the obligations of
John c. Emo, it is thought that the
figures of the elder Mr.. Eno's fortune
have been materially advanced
through sagacious investments in real
estate.
THAT the supposed disposition Of the
Emo personally was consistent with
Mr.. Eno's peculiar views was observed
by some of his friends to-day. The
famous banker and builder. is said fire.
quently to have declared that the
state methods of taxation bore unjust
ly on the metropolis as a city, and on
its inhabitants as individuals. He held
that the latter bore not only their own
burdens of government, but the bulk
of the burdens Of the smaller com
munities of the state and he regarded
it as unjust that these should not only
be the beneficialies of metropolitan
taxation, but should impose their will
through state legislation as to the form
taxation might take.
ITO obviate this, Mr.. Emo, accord
ing to one account, declared he was in
favor of separate metropolitan state,
to include practically the present ter
ritory of New. York city, with per-
haps the whole of Westchester county
and of Long Island. Within this state,
he thought, the only taxes should be on
realty The result of such a partition
of the present commonwealth would,
he was wont to say, make the metro
polls even more than before a world
CITY, 1t would become the head
quarters from which all new enter
prises would be launched and capital
would flow into it at accumulative rate.
eff it should be found that Mr.. Emo
had got rid of his personally before
his demise, those of his friends who
have heard him talk on a municipal
state will not be surprised"

AGAINST SUNDAY SALES.

Danbury grocers have long been
complaining of the fruit stores which
keep open all day Sundays. The gro
GERS claim the proprietors of the fruit
stores have stocked their places with
full line of groceries, and on Sunday
they sell that kind of goods. In order
to stop this, the dealers have dubbed
together in the form of a petition ask
ing for an ordinance by which sales on
Sunday will be prohibited.

GROVER AND THE RED CROSS

Philadelphia, June g.. Ex-President
Cleveland has written a letter to the
secretary of the committee appointed to
collect funds for the Red Cross society,
the funds to be used for the relief of
soldiers during the war, expressing his
regret at being unable to attend meet
ing of the society here. Among other
things the letter contains the following:
War is a nationa affection, even
when best Justified and most clearly I'M
avoidable. Whatever proof 1t furnishes
of mans advance in civilizatio and the
growth of human kinship is apt to be
found in the efforts to which it gives rise
for the alienation of the horrors of bat
tie. and for the relief and comfort of
those who must suffer and die.
''The society of the Red Cross. devoted
othese humane and merciful ministra-
tons, deserves the hearty cooperation
and aid of all good citizens who estimate
at their just value the patriotism and de-
votion of those who fight in their coun-
try's cause"

MET BY RAGGED SKELETONS

Tampa. Fla. Jue Colonel J. K. Dorst
who was in charge OF the recent expe1i-
ton on The steamer Florida, describes the
condition of the women and children as
pitiable in the extreme. When the Flor
ida reached Point Baines. on the north
coast of Cuba, where the supply of arms
ammunition and provisions were landed,
it was met by a crowd Of perhaps 800 pa
ciicos, many of them emacated 10 the
last extremity by long privations. Near
ly half of these unfortunates were wom-
en-. and according. 20 Colonel Dosst
scarcely one OF them had more than a
single garment, and that in tatters. Many
of the children were absolutely naked.
and their appeals for food when the first
boat from the Florida landed on the
beach were heartrending. AS far as pos
sible the crews OF the Florida and her
consort. the OsceoIa, have supplied the
pacifcos' wants, even giving away their
underclothing.
