MORE TROUBLE AT PANA.
Whites and Negroes Engage in Sew
eral Battles-Deputy Watts
Loses an Arm.

Pana, H., Nov. 19.-Several battles
between union miners and negroes, in
which special deputy sheriffs had
hand, occurred Friday evening, in
which it is known several parties were
wounded, and it is thought some NOR
tally. Sheriff Coburn's chief deputy,
Sid Watts, of Taylorsville. had his right
arm shot off. The encounter in which
Watts lost his arm occurred near Nc
Carthy's grocery. on Cedar street, adj
joining the Springside addition. Watts
was the only witness to the shooting
from whom anything could be learned.
AS the result of two encounters be-
tween whites and blacks Thursday at
Springside Deputy Watts, with assist
ants. were busily engaged swearing in
and placing large force OF deputy
sheriffs at the Springside mine, and was
in buggy en- route to the mine. When
sillade was fired at them. fully 25 shots
being discharged before he returned
the fire. After being wounded Watts
drove to Springside mine and was
Immediately brought to the city. Upon
arriving at the Hotel De Pana Watts
drew a gun, and, seeing Officer Ben
Smith, Jake Yelling and Frank Will
liams, business men. on the other side
of the street, exclaimed: LET me shoot
them!" Corwin Overholt, nephew of
Operator d. j. Overholt. of the Spring
side Coal company, took the gun from
Watts, thus preventing him from ac-
complishing his purpose. Watts was
later removed to DR.. j. H. Miller's Office
and his arm was dismembered.

New York July 1S.-The downward moye- ment in stocks today was checked before the close, and the level of prices brought back slightly above Saturdays close But it cannot he said that the market was sus- tained by any buying demand, for it's leth- argy was almost complete. The break Of 41s points in Metropolitan Street Railway, due to the pending suspension of traffic on semc of it's lines during a reconstruction period, was the main unsettling factor in the morning. Quite a heavy decrease in the earnings of the Nev- York Central for June and the shrinkage in the eastbound rail freight movement, due to the lively competition of the Lake lines, were also factors of weakness New York Central S decline was, however. only fractional, and it recovered 1Ad in the late dealings.
 Buying of Brooklyn Rapid Transit on the continued increase in earnings was also a sustaining factor, and the recent pressure against the ccalers ceased, those stocks generally showing gains All indications point to a coming reduction early in the money market, but no evidence of an over flow of funds in stocks was manifest to- day. The allotment of the government bonds. it is felt certain, will result in the release of large sums on account of reject ed subscriptions.
 1ne usual demand or lntefiOf HeTCHdntS for money at this period is not evident in the New York money market the flow of funds during the past week having been from the interior to New York. Lenders of money therefore have little hopes of getting better rates in the immediate fu- ture. Renewed attention is called to the trade balance in favor of this country, which has been $615, 900 900 for the year. while the net imports of gold have been barely $10O0OO,O0O. Making all possible al- lowance for the various itkns in the con- cealed adverse trade balance such as for eign sales of our securities, ocean freights, payments of interest and dividends to for eign holders and foreign expenditures by American travellers, it is certain that an enormous balance in favor remains still uniiquidated and available on demand. The hesitation in the stock market Is therefore difficult to explain. a-tf tf

Pane. Murphy < Co.'S Stock Letter.


 Birmingham, July 1S.-The discounting of prospective approaching peace that started upon the first preliminary steps towards surrenderng Santiago continued effective today. Sentiment is a peculiar, but formidable quantity and in this in- stance sentiment in Wall street favored lower prices, and so far has successfully engineerd the marwer to this result, de- spite the plethora of money. The evacua- tion of Santiago, the great subscription to the popular loan and the daily favorable reports of immense crops. For the time being these facts are ignored and support apparently withdrawn from the market. Brooklyn Rapid Transit increased A4.00O in earrings for two days, while railways in general continue showing good earnings. This all fell flat at present, and prices continue sagging- The day throughout has been one of weakness and the spas- modic fractional strength at intervals was merely bulls covering. The market to the average investor is discouraging. but is in such a state that big changes either way can be recorded.
