The market was helped by the unex-

surprise. Notwithstanding this Liverpool
strength the market for time after the
opening appeared to be in control OF the

ZUNI WITCH DEAD.
New Mexican Priests IN Jail for Acting
Old Superstition.

From the New York Journal.
Some nine months ago the princess
of the Zuni We-Wa died after a lingei
ing illness, and an old squaW OF rhe
New Mexican town was accused of kill
ing her by some spell. She was tried
by the priests, the governor of the
tribe and the most prominent people
and sentenced to death. In order first
to determine her guilt she was carried
to one of the rooms of the city and cast
off. The theory of the priests was that
If she were a witch she would unfurl
her wings and fly away, and If she
were innocent she would exonerate her
self by being killed. The old woman
was not killed by the fall, and she was
then taken to post and strung up by
the thumbs. When she could no longer
endure the agony she confessed to hay-
ing killed the queen.
The witch of Zuni found a friend,
however, in missionary in that re-
gion, who cared for her and reported
the affair al Washington. When the
troops arrived they found two of the
priests in the hands of the sheriff. on
being tried each IF he four was held IN
5000 bail TO appear at the February
term of the grand jury. In default Of
bail the holy men are confined in
prison, and they viii probably be con-
victed and sent TO the penitentiary Tor
le years.

NEW YORK STOCK REPORT
Digest of Exchange News-Mining Stocks,
Metal Quotations-Wool Prices and
Movements-Grain and Pro-
duce-Review of Trade.

New York, Feb. 4-The remarkable
buoyancy of few special stocks lifted
to-days stock market out of a slough of
depression and closed to-day with net
gains, although there were "a few losses
in exceptional cases. Net gains were
small in the general list, but the gains in
the little group of leaders were extraor-
binary.
The Erie stocks showed the effect of
some unusual demand at the opening of
the market, and the first preferred ended
with gain of over two points Concealed
in some way was the movement in Sus-
quehanna * Western, which gained in
force as the day advanced. The preferred
showed gain of four points on the last
transactions, the common stock 81 points.
There was nothing in the news of the
day to explain these movements. The
Vanderbilt stocks held the center of the
stage on account of the action of the
New York Central directors in authoriz-
ing an issue of 100000 200 collateral 3ls
per cent. bonds to effect IL consolidation
with the Lake Shore. The formulated
plan closely agrees with the announce
ments which have been made. A quota
ton for the new bonds when issued was
promptly established on the exchange, -
being bid and % asked.
The price of Lake Shore and of New
York Central wavered somewhat in the
face of protit-taking on the announce
ment, which has been amply discounted.
Michigan Central bounded up buopantly
over four points on the belief that il
would ultimately be included in the con-
solidation in progress. Canada Southern
also benefited to the extent of more than
a point. Norfolk & Western is up about
two points, and was bought largely in
this market to-day for London account.
This stock was affected by the reported
authority granted to it to construct a
branch through Virginia To Washington,
and by the general Improvement in its
financial condition.
Great Northern preferred advanced an
additional point this morning, but re-
acted then two points TO l6o, and at the
close was quoted at 15J bid and 1875 asked.
Manitoba, the subsidiary company, jump
ed five points to 135. The late strength of
the market brought a number of gains in
the general list up to about II point and
reduced or wiped out declines in Il num-
her of stocks that had shown early heav-
mess, notably Manhattan, Baltimore *
Ohio and Union Pacific preferred. \ fea-
ture of the day was the continued adj
vance in foreign exchange based on the
easy tone of the money market. There
was no very noticeable falling off in ac-
portant gains We're shown, but prices
were firmly held. Total sales, S., $50 800. L.
5. new As were up 4 bid.
