BROKER WILLARD EXPELLED.
Stock Exchange Member Charged
With Bucket shop Practices.

New York. April 20.-After celebrating
for more than three hours The governing
committee of the New York Stock Ex-
change last evening voted to expel one
of its oldest members. Z. X. Willard, of
the firm of Willard & Blount, of No. Ct
Broadway.
According TO the statement given out
by an official after the verdict was reach
ed, Mr.. Willard was found guilty of
bucket-shop practices. Mr.. Willard was
summoned before the governing commit.
tee to defend himself against the charges
that had been preferred. The name of
the complainant was not made public,
but the formal complaint is understood
to have been preferred by the complaint
committee. A. r. Blount. the junior
member of the firm, is not a member OF
the exchange.
According to an officer or the exchange,
Willard had been dealing quite extensive
ly in odd lots with another firm connect
ed with the exchange. According TO the
methods of stock brokers reports OF all
these transactions had TO be made. in
which ii was stated from whom the
stock was bought and to whom sold. II
came TO the ears of the governing COM
mittee that certain brokers were credit
ed with dealing in these small lots who
apparently did not know that they were
doing such a business.
This led TO an investigation and
charges were preferred against Mr.. VIII
lard that he had reported buying securi-
ties from certain persons when, in fact.
he is alleged to have made no such pur-
chases from these persons whose names
he used. 1t is alleged that the issue az
such notices constitutes under the rules
of the Stock exchange a fraudulent
transaction, and may be made the
ground for expulsion when proved.
Several witnesses submitted evidence
to the governing committee The firm
that bought most of the small lots of
stock from Mr.. Willard is not alleged &c
have derived any benefits from the buck
citing operations. 1t was the victim. If
one brokerage firm may be said to be a
victim of another.

change on December IS. 1863.

HUNT FOR A NEGRO FlEND.
Armed Posse Searching the Woods
Around BeIfmore. L.. L.

Bellmore, L. l., April 20.-Every able
bodied man OF this village has been scour-
ing the woods since Monday afternoon
trying TO capture Charles Hicks, colored,
who is accused of an attack on Norma
Tilletson, nine years old. while she was
on her way home from school.
The schoolhouse stands in the woods
half way between Bellmore and Merrick.
The little girl was walking along the road
way through the woods toward home af-
ter school on Monday when a negro
sprang from a dense tangle of underbrush
and seized her. He carried the child into
the woods about hundred feet from the
roadway.
Her screams were heard by men IT work
on the Long Island Railroad tracks sever
al hundred feet distant.
Frank Bedell. foreman of the laborers
picked up a stone for a weapon and DASH
ed through the woods in answer to the
cries He was almost upon the assailant
and his captive, when the negro, alarm
ed at his approach. released the child and
plunged into thicket.
Bedell caught sight of the man and says
he recognized him as Hicks The fore
man gave chase, but seeing he could not
overtake the fugitive hurled the stone at
him. II struck the negro full on the head
and staggered him, but quickly recovering
himself he sped through the trees and
disappeared. Bedell returned to the little
girl. who was sitting on the ground cry
ing. He took her to her home. When the
story OF the assault became known there
was great excitement.
Every man armed himself and started
out TO find Hicks. Woods were searched
and inquiries MADE along the roads, but
without trace of the negro.

LABOR UNIONS AT WAR.
Walking Delegates Open Hostilities
Against Building Trades Council.

New York, April 20.-War is threatened
between the board of walking delegates
and the building trades council, and I'M
less an ultimatum sent out by the dele
gates on Monday evening is obeyed large
building strikes will propably result.
The board of walking delegates was
organized by forty-two unions several
years ago. Since then there has been
frequent complaint of the frequency with
which it ordered sympathetic strikes.
The building trades council was organic
ed a few months ago by the dissatisfied
element. The chief plank in the plat
form was opposition to sympathetic
strikes. 1t is composed OF ten unions.
Friction has developed between the two
organizations lateyl. and the building
trades council has threatened to organize
a second board of walking delegates.
Meanwhile the delegates of these eight
unions have united within the board, vot-
ing soldiy on all questions.
As a result. the board of delegates on
Monday afternoon issued an ultimatum
to the eight unions. ordering them to
withdraw at once from the building
trades council or be expelled from the
board. They will be given two weeks
to allow the unions to meet, and if they
refuse to leave the council their members
will be treated as non-union men and
strikes ordered against them wherever
they are found.

A TRAVELLING MAN.
Gives Some Valuable Hints Regard
ing the Care of the Health
While Travelling.

| Mr.. r. w. Wincherdon, a commercial
! traveller from Birmingham whose busi-
ness keeps him almost constantly on
, the road, relates In the Sunday News the
dangers to health resulting from con-
slant change of residence, and the way
he overcame the usual injurious effects.
He says: One thing people travelling
cannot very well avoid is the constant
change in water and food; the stomach
never has an opportunity to become ac-
customed to anything and in a few years
or much sooner the average travelling
man becomes n hopeless dyspeptic.
For several years ] suffered more or
less from indigestion, sour stomach, head
aches. distaste for food, often no appe-
tite. gas on the stomach and the usual
unpleasant effects of imperfect diges-
ton.
Nearly every travelling man has his ia
vorite remedy for different troubles and
] tried all of them with Indifferent re-
suits. Finally on the train between
Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day.
overheard a conversation between two
ladies' one of whom had suffered severe
ly from indigestion, and stated she had
been completely cured by a remedy
which she called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets; | remembered the conversation be-
cause 1t directly interested me; and at
the next Town inquired at the D1St drug
store and bought a package for fifty
cents, and from that day to this l have
never been without them. They are
pleasant tasting tablets, not a secret
patent medicine, but composed of veg
etable essences. pure pepsin, Fruit salts
and Golden Seal being in tablet form
they never lose their good qualities like
a liquid medicine would, but are always
fresh and ready for use.
| carry a box in my pocket contin-
ually and whenever | see any symptoms
of indigestion / take one, also one after
each meal. and for a year and a half
! have not lost day by reason of poor
health and can eat anything and relish
what / eat: my digestion is absolutely
perfect as far as i can judge from my
feelings. and although there may be
other stomach medicines just as good as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, l do not
know what they are. Certainly for peo-
pie who travel they are far ahead of any
liquid medicine, as they are so conve-
nient, they can be carried in the pocket
and used whenever needed.
/ believe they are sold by all drug
gists at so cents. and believe anyone
who will try them win agree with me
that for indigestion and stomach trouble
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are unequaled
apis, 90 90.
