NEW YORK MARKET.
Closing in Wall Street Was
Heavy in Tone.
spsciaIties Active and the Movements
Were Various and CompIicating.

New York. Nov. 15.-The premonitory
symptoms of action which were noted
yesterday in the stock market and even
more prominently in the bond market,
found their justification today. There
were periods of resistance to the de-
cline and individual stocks in which
the resistance was successful, but the
reaction gained in force as the day
progressed, and the closing was de-
cidedly heavy in tone and at the low
point, net decline being the rule and
reaching as much as point in a few
stocks.
The specialties We're active all day
and the movements in them were ex-
ceedingly various and conflicting and
influenced by individual causes.
The market for railroad stocks
showed a heavy tone from the opening
and especially in the internationals,
which had the burden of selling for
foreign account to carry The grangers
and Pacifics also encountered obstacles
to an advance.
The Atchison issues continue to be a
strong rallying point for the bull fac
ton, the preferred stocks rising to 433s.
uTlHeI EFFORT was lllduG W sustain Liz
railroad list by bidding up prices of
low priced stocks especially those of
the Southwest. The mystery surround
ing the pending disposition of the Chi
cago and Alton also impaired strength
to different railroad stocks on rumors
of connection with that contraction.
Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf,
Lake Erie and Western stocks and
Chicago and Indianapolis and Louis
vile preferred rose at times from l to
6 points. There were unexplained adj
vances of "a in Southern Pacific and OF
8 full points in Chicago and North
western preferred. In the specialties
there was prevailing heayiness on one
hand in Sugar, Manhattan, Federal
Steel and Peoples Gas, while on the
other hand Tobacco Metropolitan
Street Railway and the Paper stocks
showed marked strength.
| Manhattans weakness was attribut-
able to a study of the quarterly state
ment and the balance sheet.
/ The Federal Steel stocks have beer
dealt in heretofore as deliverable When
| issued, a transaction which did not cal
/ for cash. The certificates are now be-
! ing issued, and the resulting require
ment for funds is assigned as the rea-
son for the weakness of these stocks.

BlGELoW FOR TRAINER.
The Old High School Man VIII L COX After
the w. n. S. Track Team.

If the Worcester high school track ath-
letic team fails TO win the indoor inter-
scholastic meeting this winter, and thus
loses permanent possession of the shield.
which she has a chance to obtain, the
blame cannot be laid to the door Of poor
training.
The officers of the athletic association
have been casting about in search of q
competent trainer, and finally hit upon
Frank Fl. Bigelow who was last years
captain of the Harvard track team. AT
first Mr.. Bigelow positively refused to
undertake the work under any considera-
ton, but great deal of influence was
brought to bear, and finally as a last re-
sort q letter was addressed to him last
week asking that he accept the position.
Mr. Bgelow has finally consented to
take up the task and last evening made a
favorable reply to the athletic association
The announcement will be read with in
terest by every student and alumnus of
the two schools. 1t was while Bigelow
was captain of the high school team that
It attained its greatest prominence in in

GARDNER CANNOT ACCEPT.
50 Foot Ball Championship Must stn Re
main in Doubt.

Spencer, Nov. 15.-Manager Ames of
the David Prouty high school foot
ball eleven received an answer this
noon from Manager Campbell of the
strong Gardner high school team. that
he would be unable to play the David
Prouty team this year, as his dates
were all full. He signified his Wiling
ness last night of canceling the game
which he had arranged with Leon
mister high for next Saturday, and play
ing the local eleven, but this noon he
told different story, and claimed that
he would be unable to play the Spencer
eleven, and thus would have to surren-
der the championship of Worcester
county to the star. David Prouty high
school foot ball team Of Spencer.
Manager An1es is now negotiating fuv
a game with the strong Murdoch high
school team Of Winchendon for next
Saturday, but 1t IS hardly probable thai
the Winchendon boys viii play. With
the refusal of Gardner to play it leaves
the David Prouty high school team the

Gardner high is the champion of the
northwestern part of kbe county
while Spencer high is the champion of
the southwestern portion. Very likely
If the two teams had met Spencer high
would have been victorious. as ii I'M

their title, it being the first time the
championship has ever been brought to

TaylorTiedth the
Mile Mark
IN TWO ATTEMPTS.
He VIII Try for That So
600 Bonus Again Today.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 15.-Never
before in the history of cycling has to-
days performance of Major Taylor, at
Woodsise park track, been duplicated.
Never in the history of the sport has
man tied the worlds record twice in
one day or tied it at all, as Taylor du-
plieated today twice in a most sensa-
tional manner. He did 1872 in both
trials in his efforts today and in both
rides he cut into the world records at
the shorter distances, even lowering
the quarter mile. At this distance he
was ahead of record once. at the one
third mile once, at the half twice, and,
at the hree-quarters twice In his last
trial it is the consensus of opinion that
he really lowered the mile, as one of
the official timers and two timers on
the outside, who are competent men,
had him fifth second or more under
the mark. One of the official timers
had it 1;31 As, and two 1;32, so the lat
ter time went
The day was almost perfect for rec
ord breaking The wind was light and
the air was reasonably warm Cor this
time of the year. His first trial was
started with the Crooks team, which
took him to the quarter in % 3-5, a fifth
second outside record. The third in
80 Id was outside. The pickup was
neatly made to the Sager team, which
carried him to the half in As 20, two
tfths seconds under record. At the
two-thirds made in 1:01 2-5, the record
was seemingly his. At the three-quar-
ters, in 1:08 4-5, one and one-fifth sec
onds under record time. This seemed
certain gain. His finishing quarter tied
the mark, however, and the men We're
sent in for a rub.
During the intermission of a half
hour, Taylor instructed his pacemakers
in the methods of picking him up. The
teams We're only to come together when
the front team was to go at full speed.
Taylor said he would make what is
known as flying pickup, and he did
so in both instances in this second trial.
going out for five to ten yard indie
pendent run.
The Crooks team again started him,
carrying the colored lad the quarter in
% 1-5, a fifth second inside record. The
third, in 30 3-5, a fifth second under
record, saw the change to the Sager
quint on the fly at the half, the adj
vantage over his former time had been
lost, for he tied it in As 2-5. At the
tWo-thirds, in 1:01, he was ahead of his
former time. The flying pickup was
made and the three-quarters was
reached in los 80, a gain of fifth on
the former time, and three -fifths gained
on the twelfth mile. Taylor came
strong and at the finish ran inside his
team up to the second man, but the Of
fetal timers gave it 1882.
Tomorrow he will go again at II
O'Clock and make other attempts in the
afternoon. F. ED. SPOONER.

Manager Charles i, Rice of this city at

ming of those who are Interested in the
reorganization Of the New England
League. The meeting was held for the
purpose OF discussing the scheme Of wild
ening the leagues scope No definite ac-
ton was taken, but Mr.. Rice. who re-
turned home on a late train, expressed
himself as thoroughly pleased with the re-
suits Of the meeting.
The officials of the league cherish hopes
that a circuit may be formed to include
Providence, Worcester. Springfield Cam

and Paterson. OF two other Connecticut
cities than Hartford and New Haven

was consulted and he did not give any
announcement to the promoters of the
plan. assuring them that Providence

less a chance should be offered TO get into

likelihood Of being possible was the for

FOR THE BIG GAME.
At Harvard the Outlook is
Not Very Encouraging.

Cambridge, Nov. 15.-After few

the Harvard foot bah squad lined up

kind of foot ball The varsity eleven

CREASED BALL.
Yale Coachers Driven to
Last Resort.

New Haven, Con, Nov. 15.-At the first
lineup practice of the Yale foot ball
eleven since the Princeton game today the
eleven was put through the play of the
afternoon with a creased ball This is
something which it is doubtful if any Yale
team heretofore has been pushed to, but
the -coaehers are determined to teach the
halfhacks how to cling to the pigskin, for
they realize that no rush line. however
strong, can win a game if the backs fum-
BILE.
The practice today was only about half
an hour long, but 1t was hard foot ball.
1t was so hard, indeed that two players
are tonight the worse for it, They are
Marshall, the big guard. and Hubbei. the
end In running to tackle Sullivan, Hub
bell cut his scalp quite severely, and Mar
shall hurt his sore shoulder. Mcbride
was a disappointment again today, and
the coachers may take him out and put
in Dashiell unless the big fullback picks
himself up at once.
A shifting of men is not unlikely for the
Harvard game. Eddy may be taken from
right end and placed al half, and Hubbell
go in with Coy at the ends. Corwin and
Townshend seem to he the backs deter
mined upon. De Saulles was not played
a all today, not even in the signal work.
and it seems settled that he cannot get
into the game. Ely is putting up a good
game at quarter, and he will pass the ball
without much doubt.

yesterday afternoon one carcass was
cut up at the Waldo street station

THEY PLAYED OVERTIME.
Game In Y. M. C. a. Basket Bali I ourna-
ment FierceIy Contested.

At the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium last
night the second game in the basket ball
league was played before about 200 specta-
tors. 1t proved to be one of the finest ex-
hibitions of basket ball ever played in this
city.
The game from start TO finish was filed
with brilliant plays, and the contest was
so close that at the call of time the teams
We're tied, and the players were compelled
to work overtime to settle the outcome.
After two minutes of overtime play
Olmstead received the ball on a direct
pass, and Gagged it to the expressed salts
faction of the spectators.
Al no time during the game was the
slightest feeling shown among the play
ers. all the fouls called were made on the
ball, and a cleaner or more brilliant ex-
hibition of basket ball was never wit
messed in this vicinity.
AS players the men were about equal
and no one man shined brighter than the
others, except in the case of Dorman and
Olmstead, who were perhaps a little bet
ter than the others.

QUESTIONABLE RESORTS

Wanting Their Licenses Renewed Como
Up for CouncilmanIo Consideration.
Unless Objections arc Made tho Com.
mitteo on Petitions and "Reminiscences
Is Handicapped.
Liquor licenses were considered last
night by. the council committee on Pc
tltlons and remonstrances. Ninety-slx
licenses were favorably recommended,
and some were deferred for action I'M
til a future meeting. The latter were
those relating TO the class of saloons or
hotels, (which permit the promiscuous
assembling OF men and women for pur-
poses, alleged to be other than moral.
In this connection, a member OF the
committee polntedly stated that while
there were many people who objected
to the granting of licenses to certain
places, they failed TO make objections
TO the. proper authorities, and he
thought no license should be granted to
any place, when the neighboring resi-
dents and property holders objected to
1t.
The committee feels rather delicate
about granting licenses to suspicious re-
sorts, but 1t Is not in t.aeir province to
turn down the applications when no
formal objections are made. AS II.
many other instances, the people who
do the bowling. fail to show uo when
their presence Is demanded, consequent
~ there is but onelrecourse left. IN
So far, only one hundred and six ap-
pllcations for liquor licenses have been
received, and 1t is not expected the pres
ent holders. one hundred and thirty
seven in number. will oil make appli-
cation, one hundred and thirty being
thought to be the maximum limit The
committee having the matter in, charge
will meet shortly to consider further
applications.
