TROLLEY CARS COLLIDE.

Two trolley cars. a freight handler
and a closed passenger car. came to-
gether with considerable violence near
the Sherwood Hotel yesterday about
noon. Particulars of the collision are
difficult to obtain. but it was learned
that no serious damage was done. The
vestibule attachment of the passenger
car was demolished. but the car itself
was not telescoped or seriously injured
and was able to make it's trip back to
the power house by it's own motive
power. None of the passengers nor car
men was hurt
1t is stated that he passenger car at
the moment of the collision had just
slipped its trolley and could not be con-
trolled in time to avert the crash. nor
even to diminish it's severity. Such
mishaps are often unavoidable and.
from the best information obtainable.
this seems to have been a case of that
kind

An operation had to be performed to re-

fracture
TIL, shooting was done by a soldier
whom the injured woman claims to be
able to identify. but whose name she
does not know. 1t appears that he de-

gether and then from his position on
one side of her fired the shot He dis

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

L.
NEW YORK. Nov. 1S.-There were
weak points in the stock market today
but the underlying element of strength
promised at one time to overcome the
obstacles and carry prices uniformly
to IL higher level Apprehension Of a
weak showing in tomorrow's bank
statement. turned the tide toward the
side of reaction in the late dealings
The level of prices in most cases was
carried sharply below last night and
net gains remaining We're very much
reduced from the extreme advance of
the day. The most influential factor
IN causing weakness was the obvious
ciic. which is attributed to be one OF
the leading financial interests of the
property.
Delaware and Hudson was raided
down to % 34. with accompanying ru-
morS of dividend reduction. This is
the lowest price for several years and
is an accurate reflection of the decline
in the anthracite trade other stocks
affected by the trade falling in sympa-
thy notwithstanding these elements
of weakness. the market showed good
recuperative power. the buying of Peo-
pies Gas particularly being a sustain
ing factor. ..
The expectation of an unfavorable
bank statement is based on the known
activity of the week in the money mar
ket. which must have largely increased
the reserve requirements by expansion
of loans. There is nothing in the cur
lency movement To the interior, or in
Sub-treasury operations to indicate a
large increase in cash to meet the re
ruirements 50 that a further decrease
in surplus is looked for. The local
money market continued easier today.

Ohio Party Politics.

Whatever may'have been the motives
of individuals, the anti Hanna movement
as a whole seems to have been actuated
by personal and %factional rivalries. Mr..
Hanna, it is true, was soundly denounced
as a boss; but SO far as outsiders have
studied the political situation in Ohio,
they do not find much choice between
the methods employed by the two great
rival factions of the Republican party,
nor do they discover any great distinc-
tons of method between the Republican
and Democratic machines. In Ohio, as
in Pennsylvania, New York, and Illinois,
party machinery has come to be stronger
than public sentiment and it is to be
feared that money contributed by corpo-
rations is a more potent influence than
enthusiasm for political principles or for
trusted leaders. 1t is better however,
that the men who really dominate the
political situation should be in response
bic Office than that they should be be-
hind the scenes; and since MI. Hanna
and Foraker are the real masters of Re.
publicanism in Ohio, it is rather to be
desired that they should be in the United
States Senate than that they should send
men subject to their orders. 1t is vel
understood that the. political chieftain.
of Ohio In both parties are preparing
themselves for 4 great national role II

The partial loss of the grape crop this
year. caused by the heavy rains. is esti-
mated to exceed 100000. Farmers
and vineyards all over the northern part
of the State have suffered. While this
is true, it is equally a fact that lost and
and failing strength may be restored by
the persistent, systematic use::of the great
national tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, which renews and tones the activi-
ty of the stomach, liver and the bowels,
counteracts a tendency to rheumatism
and kidney complaint, ahd prevents ma

eases have run their course, recovery is
greatly accelerated by the use of the Bit
