The Stock Market.

New York, July 12.-There was a mo- table disparity again to-day in the ac- tivity of the bond and stock market the volume of transactions in the bond market continuing on very large scale, while the stock market was dull throughout. In the early trading Atch- ison preferred continued conspicuous, and was absorbed in very large in1ivid- ual blocks. The buying was attributed to the same interest which took this stock yesterday. There was no purpose apparent to advance the price, but all offerings were well absorbed.
 London sold quite heavily of this stock and few others, but bought other international stocks. The buying of the Atchison adjustments continued as confidently and progressively as yes- terday and led the very notable move ment in the bond market. The price sold off % per cent. from the ton on traders realizing, but the buying move- ment maintained it's force at the de- cline The demand for Atchison pre- ferred diminished before the close, thus removing the only movement of posi- tive strength in the stock market, which dropped on a small volume of business. 7 he declines were most con- spicuous in the stocks which were ad- vanced under manipulation last week, notably Omaha and Northwest
 A large proportion of the dealings in bonds to-day was in the class variously designated as income and adjustment bonds. There was also an active de- mend for newly issued bonds of reor- ganized companies which are still held in large amounts by underwriting sym dicates and still unabsorbed by small investors. There was some profit talk ing in these speculative issues involv- ing slight recessfons from top prices, but net gains of from 1 to over points were left in a number of issues Total safes $5, 7S0, 900.
 There was no change in the quota tions for government bonds.

cost to the Consolidated road and to the city just $500 less for each than it otherwise would be.
 Attorney S, c. Morehouse, represent ing the Fair Haven and Westville road, held that since the act required that one-half of the expense should be borne by the steam railroad company and one-half by the city, a portion of the expense could not be saddled upon some one else.
 c. Y. Driscoll was present and said that the act relating to this matter was passed while he was corporation coun- sel, and that the word "city' used therein did not mean the city in a cor porate sense, but the city in the sense of it's citizens, corporations and every one in it, He said that the wording of the act did not prevent the city from assessing any corporation or other property owners who were benefited by the building of the bridge He said that the street railroad company was surely benefited, since it's tracks could now cross the steam railroad track, whereas previously they could not.
 The committee in executive session voted to recommend that the report of the bureau of compensation, making benefits and damages equal to the street railroad company be adopted.
 The action of the committee on other matters before it was as follows:
 Report of the department of public works and the bureau of compensation de widening of Derby avenue from Nor ton street to West river; continued un- til next meeting.

DIsCIPLINING A STRIKER.

An old civil war veteran tells a good story of how lazy private in his regi- ment was cured of shirking. It ap- pears that the fellow was utterly no good. He had been drafted into the service, and thereafter devoted his whole time and attention to getting out of it. He spent more than half his time in the hospital tent. He ran the gamut of all the diseases that flesh is heir to or has acquired through it's own misguided efforts. Somehow even the severity of military discipline was in adequate to his case; shirk he could and would
 One day the regiment was ordered to battle. There was to be long, hard march and fierce conflict at the end of it. When the orders came the shirk- CT collapsed. He was taken to an am- bulance, where heilay apparently in an comatose condition, hearing nothing, needing nothing. The surgeon, new officer just appointed on the staff, was sent for to see him. The physician chanced to be a keen-witted man, and after taking Tn the situation he ban daged the fellows eyes, motioned to a private to take his feet, while he him. self took the head, and, without more ado, dumped the comatose shirker head foremost into the river As it was the dead of winter with ice blocks clogging the water, a more violent remedy could not be imagined and the way the fel- low Sewam to shore was a caution. From that day forth he was never known to try his game of shirk again. Philadelphia Times.

 his own name-all he had ever learned in his native countryside Green Isle; but though he had hitherto been suc- cessful in concealing his limitations from the people about him, certain cir cumstances had recently given him the alarm, and he had made up his mind to try to mend matters. And what a struggle was hisl What pathos in his groping efforts to spell out his way through the primer with his own little son had thrown aside two years before! But night after night, summer and winter, he kept 1t up, until at last he had his reward, and he could lock his little boy boldly in the face, and had no more fears of his bookkeeper.
 Perhaps the oldest pupil of all was an old man over seventy, a native of Alsac, who wanted to learn geometry because, after vainly trying to satisfy his craving for knowledge by dabbling in history and philosophy, and even modern science, he had come to the conclusion that the only truths which could satisfy a rational mind were the truths of mathematics Yet, paradoxi- cal as it may seem, but is not, this arid-mineded old fellow, who found even the bald statements of modern science too flowery for his taste, was a religious man, and a church. warden to boot. Alas! he turned out to be not so simple-minded as he appeared. He had his adamantine crotchets, which I, backed by Euclid with chapter and verse, was powerless to remove. He ended his lesons, which had gradually degenerated into ill-tempered alterca- tions with his teacher, by one day breaking out into a. savage tirade, not against the equator, but against the proposition of the three squares CEuclid I, 47), and I saw him no more. It was his waterloo.-From Chambers Jour-

 tlmony.
 Halifax. N. S., July 12,-The Cana dian wreck commission, presided over by Captain Smith, R. N. R., opened court to-day 10 Inquire into the cir cumstances of the collision between the British ship Cromartyshire and the French liner La Bourgogne. in which La Bourgogns was sunk. Besides the presiding officer there were present Captain Bloomfield Douglass and Cap tain Lewis Anderson, nautical asses sors: George F, Francklyn, French consul, and counsel,
 R. I. Borden, counsel for Captain Henderson, objected to the counsel for the French consul taking part i'll the proceedings, as 1t was a British cap- tain who was on trial, and the court had no Jurisdiction over the French ship. It Is understood, also, that the French consul aC New York had order ed an official Inquiry With ths under standing the counsel for the French consul was present merely as spec ltLlOl, lSthluS5 ilOlCo lOl lllC IALOl lllelllCll of the French government. he was per- mitted to remain, but debarred alto- gether from cross-eXamining witnesses Counsel was also present representing the Dominion government.
 Captain Oscar Henderson, master of the Cromartyshire, took the witness stand first. In reply to questions by the court he said his ship was on voy- age from Dunlirk to Philadelphia with a cargo of chalk, and that his crew numbered twenty-one men. The Cro- martyshire had three beats, two of them lifeboats.
 Observation was taken daily to as- certain errors of the compass. As near as he could remember it was o'clock on the morning of July 4 when, while in the chart room, he heard a steam ships fog whistle. The captain asked the chief officer if he heard it. and he replied "No." Tn minute or so it was heard again. All on deck heard it then The lookout was then ordered to short en the blasts of the fog horn. The di- rection of the sound of the steamships S whistle could not be located till the last blast just before the collision. The ship was then going about four knots, with sails shaking. The approaching ships whistle sounded on the port bow. The captain said that he could do nothing. The steamship struck the in- stant after he saw her bow.
 Two ships models were produced, representing the point of contact in the collision. The ships bow was cut off completely, but her collision bulkhead saved the Cromartyshire. The captain said that he ordered the boats launch ed as soon as the accident occurred.
 The ships log, which has already been published, was read by the court, and the court adjourned till the after noon.

Matters Considered at the Hearing Last
 Night.
 The street committee last night held a hearing on a number of petitions and resolutions referred to it by the court of common council. The mayors conmu- nication de state appropriation for im- proving the roadway of Dixwell avenue and appropriation for the same was considered, and it was decided to rec ominend that the state appropriation of 1500 be accepted and like amount appropriated by the city for the work.
 It was voted to recommend the adop- tion of the report of the department of public works and bureau of compensa- tion concerning the change of grade on Chapel street east of East street, and concerning the bridge on Chapel street over the Belle dock branch railroad tracks This last matter was reported on twice by the bureau of compensa- tion, which first recommended that S1,- 000 benefits be assessed upon the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad compa- ny This was reported to the common council, but the matter was referred back to the bureau, which in it's second report recommended that benefits and damages be assessed equally against the street railway company. It was this report which was referred to the committee on streets and which was considered last night. Attorney George D. Watrous appeared, representing the Consolidated road, and asked that the original amount as recommended by the bureau of compensation be assess ed against the Fair Haven and Vest vile road. He called attention to the fact that the East Chapel street rail- road bridge was built in pursuance to an act of the legislature which provid- ed that one half the expense should be borne by the Consolidated road and the other half by the city. He said that if this s1, 900 benefits was assessed upon the street railroad it would make the
