The stock Market.

New York, Oct. 4.-Considerable ir- regularity marked to-day's operations in the stock market, but the net result was in favor of the bulls. final prices showing sharp gains in many cases. Elements of strength included the St. Paul statement for the fourth week of September, gold engagements presaging further ease in the monetary situation and more general commission house buying. St. Paul was taken in hand at the outset and lifted sharply, but im- provement in the general list was ar- rested by irregularity in the specialties. The market generally speaking did not adopt decisive tone until the late ses- sion, when heavy buying orders were executed all around, which had ad- vanced prices materially. Evidence that leading interests were supporting their favorites created uneasiness among the shorts and large lines were taken in. This circumstance likewise influenced outside demand, which had been eliminated from the market dur ing the demoralization of the special ties. The bears attempted to make capital out of the closing of the Trades mems National bank, but it was not an effective card, as after a period of dull ness following the announcement prices worked up slowly until the movement assumed the proportions of a boom in the late afternoon. The futile efforts to bring about substantial reaction in the railways combined with the ready absorption of all offerings aroused a more hopeful feeling, which became in- tensified as additional encouraging traffic statements came to hand, Some lines reported falling off in income, but this showing, it was felt, would soon be counterbalanced by the elimination of certain unfavorable influences cur rent at the present time. Tobacco pur-. sued it's usual wild course and note- worthy variations occurred in other members of the industrial group. Brooklyn Transit made a conspicuous show of strength, the stock being taken on expected benefits to accrue from the absorption of the Nassau road and eff
 fective economies in operating expenses. A concerted drive against Sugar late in the day depressed the stock over 8 points and halted the general market when the rise was in full swing. Reali

Special Session of the Supreme Court
 Bridgeport, Oct. 4.-Chief Justice Charles B. Andrews of the supreme court has called a special session of the criminal superior court of Fairfield county for tomorrow at 10 o'clock to take up the case of Dr. Nancy Guilford.

 They will start on the steamer sailing next Saturday and will be gone about three weeks.

 BRINY CoLLOQUIALIsMs.

Some common Expressions and Their
 Origin.
 It is only fit and right that the lan- guage of this great maritime nation should be enriched by sea terms, and yet thousands of those who use them never dream of their origin.
 How are you?" "First-rate, thanks" |" The speaker has no idea that he is per petuating the remembrance of the old line-of- -battle-ship, First Rate" The navy in past days had six rates" or classes of vessels.
 Sea proverbs are also met in daily use. For example, "The devil to pay and no pitch hot" One never thinks why "devil' or "pay' should be men, tioned. The saying originates in the mystery of calking the seams of a ships deck. The outside seam, called by sailors the waterway seam, ob- tained among calkers the term of "the deviP' through the difficulty of calking it to pay" is to run hot pitch along the calked seams.
 We say of a man who is going wrong He is on the wrong tack" sometimes, in error, using the word track. A ves- sel on the wrong tack may drive ashore, or, if in hurricane, be en- gulfed in the heart of the storm.
 Suppose that I spin" you "a yarn" o may tell you of the unlucky fellow who is ''among the breakers;" of the villain Sailing under false colors;" the heroine showing signals of distress;" the hero striving bravely "against wind and tide," yet true to his love as the needle to the pole;" presently the two are waited by ''favoring gale' safely into port''
 In politics the "ship of State" blum ders on with Lord Tom Noddy "at the helm;" occasionally some high official is thrown overheard by his party.
 Colloquially we growl at an interrup- ter for showing in his oar;;" we speak of two scoundrels as "tarred with the same brush;" we advise our friend to ''go with the current" and we speak of him to others as all fair and above board" Jack is bit 'rakish," and sometimes "half seas over" if he does not reform, he will some day find him. self Thigh and dry" and '1aid up'' for good.
 r Such terms as "in good trim,'' a "snug berth" to "carry on," at "close quarters" to "fit out" and so on, are familiar to all.
 Here are the derivations of three of the last mentioned:
 "Rakish' In the old war days pri- vateers, pirates and such gentry de- pended upon the speed of their ves- sels; these had their masts "raking," or slanting; such a vessel was said to be 'rakish' that is, a fast and doubtful customer
 ITO carry on'' is to keep sail longer than a very prudent man would do; recklessneSS.
 "Close quarters" The modern mean ing is well understood; the derivation is curious. Close quarters" were strong wooden barriers stretched across the deck, and used for retreat and shelter when the ship was boarded The old slave ships were thus fitted in case of the slaves getting loose. In the old naval wars the term meant two ships in action, with their sides touch- ing, as was often the case.-To-day.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know What Appetite aud Good Digestion Mean, Make a
 Test of Stuart's Dys-
 pepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indian
 apolis Gentleman,

No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspep- sia People having it think that their nerves are to blame: are sur prised that they are not cured by nerve medicines and spring remedies. The real seat of mischief is lost sight of; the stomach Is the origin to be looked after. ~. Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stom- ach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nerv- ous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every other organ; in some cases the heart palpitates and is irregular; in others, the kidneys are affected; in others, the bowels are constipated, with head aches; still others are troubled with loss of flesh and appetite, with the ac- cumulation of gas, sour risings and heartburn.
 MT. A. w. Sharper of No. 61 Pros- pect street, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows: "A motive of pure grati- tude prompts me to write these few lines regarding the new and valuable medicine, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. I have been a sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the last four years; have used various patent medicines and other remedies without any favorable result. They sometimes gave tempo l rary relief until the effects of the med- icine wore off I attributed this to my sedentary habits, being book keeper with little physical exercise, but am glad to state that the tablets have overcome all these obstacles, for l have gained in flesh, sleep better, and am better in every way. The above is written not for notoriety, but is based on actual facts"
 Respectfully yours, A. w. Sharper, 61 Prospect street. Indianapolis, Ind It is safe to say that Stuart's Dys- | pepsia Tablets will cure any stomach weakness or disease except cancer of | the stomach. They cure sour stom- l ach, gas, loss of flesh and appetite, | sleeplessness, palpitation, heartburn. constipation and headaches.

TWICE WOUNDED AT FL cANEY
A New Haven Soldier-Private Buch-
 ter's Experiences.

A New Haven soldier-Private Buch-
 ter's Experiences.
 A Courier" representative had an interesting chat with John Jacob Buch- ter, private, Company c, Seventh in fantry, nephew of Henry Buchter of Union street, last evening. It was on the first of July, in the battle of Fl Ca ney, that young Buchter, in the hottest of the fight, was shot through the wrist, the same bullet killing a com rade by his side. He still continued on with the rest of the company for ten minutes, when a brass mauser of the poisonous type shattered the bone of the same arm between the elbow and the shoulder. For sixteen days he ex- 1sted in this most painful and disabled condition, when he was transported to the McPherson hospital, at Atlanta, Ga. Here a very remarkable operation took place under Captain Flagg, army surgeon. The arm was opened, the fragments of bone removed, and al- though the arm bone was shortened two inches, Mr. Buchter has again the use of his arm, which but for the wound in the wrist, and one arm being shorter than. the other, would be all most as good as before.
 MT. Buchter has just arrived from a two months furlough spent with a comrade, George P. Douglass of Wilkesbarre, Pa., son of Colonel Henry Douglass, Tenth United States infan- try. He has now fully recuperated.
