That Nav rre.nass Law.


The Unionist Gazette takes as to task fol-
expressing our opinion that the new tres
pass law is fool law. The trouble with
the law is that it confers very few privileges
on the farmer that he did not previously
enjoy, ard it imposes on him the task Of
putting up new notices every three months.
Anyone at all conversant with the technic-
alities of the law knows what this latter
clause means. 1t signifies that the farmer
in order to get any redress, must be able to
prove that the signs were renewed within
the prescribed time, and that he would
probably have to show that the trespasser
was aware of that fact. Our defunct Repub-
lican Legislature set out last winter with a
great flourish of trumpets to confer unheard
of blessings upon the farmers and this one
doubtful act appears to be the whole crop

RIGHT OF WAY CONTEST.
Trouble With GIenyvood Cemetery
OmciaIs Over n Highway.

A contest has been inaugurated between
the authorities of Glenwood Cemetery
and the District Commissioners over the
proposed highway along the northwestern
border of the cemetery, called Michigan
Avenue.
The District authorities and the eeme-
terry people both claim the right of way
and some interesting Developments are
expected.
The District authorities contend that in
1883 a right of way was condemned for
three different roads through the ceme-
terry, but, that later at the request of
the Glenwood people, the rights of way
for two of them were relinquished, upon
the condition that the cemetery authori-
ties would not object to the proposed
highway, which was TO be known as
Michigan Avenue.
Un.iI the present time the District has
expended $500 on the road in question
and last Fall the cemetery company
presented an additional bill for damages
and compensation, for the use of the
cemetery property for highway purposes,
at the same time declining 10 recognize
the Districts right to maintain the road.
In the meantime, the cemetery company
sold a certain portion of the northeast
section of their property to the Sisters
of Notre Dame, reserving Michigan Ave
nue. as a highway and also reserving for
the cemetery company any claims for
damages against the District
The cemetery companys opinion of the
matter is exactly the reverse of the one
now held by the Commissioners and sew
eral days ago the Glenwood people began
| to oppose the Districts right of way
| by erecting a fence across the thorough
fare. Lieut.. Kenney, of the Eighth Po-
| lice Precinct, consulted the Commission
ers. and a policeman was. detailed to
| prevent additional obstructions being
] erected.
| The Commissioners say that the matter
was settled, as far as their authority is
concerned, when Congress appropriated
| $1,000 for the purpose of widening Michi-
gan Avenue to 100 feet.
| The cemetery company is expected TO
! take further action in the mater.

STOCK KMARKErCLosEs STRONG
The Granger Shares Were the Con-
npicuous Features

splCuO08 e0tuEeB.
New York. Aug. 4.-Signifcant indica-
tions in today's stock markel. were the
shifting of interest from the industrial
shares TO the railway list and the ex-
ceedingly heavy dealings in the bond
division, where some noteworthy ad
vances were scored. While the enhanc-
Ing prospeos for peace was superficially
accounted the main factor in the strength
of the market, it could otherwise be re-
ferred to long existing conditions, which.
upon this occasion, as has often been
the case before. required time for gener-
al recognition. The conditions named may
be succinctly set forth in the cheapness
of money and in the conviction that the
current rates of dividends paid by rail-
ways are certain to be maintained, and,
indeed, are more likely to be raised than
to be reduced. What in the first respect
applies to stocks Is of course, yet more
true of bands; hence, the recent and
continued advance In securities of the
class of Northern Pacific As, Union Pa
cifc As. Southern Railway SIS, Erie prior
liens and other securities which have been
selling at pices attractive to the invest
or willing to assume a moderate risk
for the sake of large returns upon his
capital.
1t should be said in connection with
the strength of the railway list that ii
was to no small extent due to the evident
transference there of the manipulatiye
energy and ability that have for some
time been exercised in the industrial
stocks. Most of the latter were decidedly
reactionary today. Apart from the gem
eral circumstances noted, there was. in
deed. little that was new to which the
strength of the general market or par
tcular stocks could be directly referred.
The bears on Burlington and Quincy were
disagreeably surprised at the showing
made by that company for the month
of June, as the actual decrease In net
earnings was much smaller than the pre-
dicted amount, upon which a considerable
number of short contracts were doubt
less based. The quotations for American
stocks in London were again lower than
the real closing figures of yesterday, and
foreign houses were fairly large sellers
We're without effect upon prices here at
any time.
During the period of the most pro-
nounced weakness in the industrial
stocks there were fractional recessions
in the railway list, but the reaction was
short-lived and the upward movement
was soon resumed. The Granger shares
We're the conspicuous features of the mar
ket, with pronounced strength elsewhere
IN the Union Pacific and Northern Pa
cific shares and Norfolk and Western
preferred. The market closed quiet and
strong.
