BIG DEAL In STOCKS.
Mrs. StanfOrd's Holdings Purchased
by Speyer & Co.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15-An enormous
Southern Pacific stock deal has just been
completed. The Stanford estates holdings
of Southern Pacific amounting to 2S5O0O
shares, have been purchased in the interests
of the r-Huntington combination. AT
the office of Speyer & Co. the purchase of
the holdings was to-day announced. 1t was
also stated that the stock would be held
by Speyer & Co., their European houses
and other powerful interests, and that it
would not come on the market. The same
interests purchased the Croker holdings,
about $4,000 shares. There have been, since
the first OF this month, a series of confer
ences in this city between c. p. Hunting
ton, Mrs. Leland Stanford, George Crock
er and General Thomas III. Hubbard. rep
resenting the Hopkins-Searles holdings of
Southern Pacific. 1t was reported a fort
night ago that these conferences were be-
ing held for the purpose of arranging for
the transfer of Mrs. Stanford's stock to
the Huntngton-Speyer interests, but this
rumor was officially denied, it being de-
clared that the object of the meetings was
the adjustment by the four conferees OF
their interests in the Pacific Improvement
Company, which is closely allied with the
Southern Pacific Company. One impor-
tant result of the transfer of the Stanford
holdings to the Speyers will be the wind
ing up before long of the affairs of the
Pacific Improvement Company.

FORTY-SlX REJECTED,
Not One OF the Talesmen Examined
Chosen as a Juror to Try MOlineux

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The trial of
Roland B. Molineux, charged with the death
Of Mrs. Katherine j. Adams, was contin-
ued before Recorder Goff in the Court of
General Sessions to-day. Efforts were di-
rected towards securing jury, but, not
withstanding the fact that forty-six tales
men were examined, not one juryman was
chosen.
Barlow s. Weeks, counsel for denfense
or one OF his assistants, closely questioned
each Of the talesmen, asking for definitions
of terms and propounding hypothetical
questions until Recorder Goff severely con-
demned the practice or any attempt what
ever TO confuse citizens summoned for jury
duty.
The defense used 1t first peremptory chal-
lenge late in the afternoon, after Louis
Jacobs had apparently passed a searching
examination. The defense used a second
peremptory, refusing to accept as a juror
Richard L. Treffurth. former steward of
the New York Club. after the State had
announced its willingness to have him sit
in the jury box.
OF those who failed to qualify seven OBJ
jected to the death penalty, about the same
number declared their unwillingness to
convict on circumstantial evidence, half a
score were unable to define the meaning OF
terms submitted by counsel, five had an
insufficient knowledge of the English Ian
guage, and the others, except those per-
emptorily challenged, were excused on the
various grounds of general consent, i'll
health and old age. The case will be con-
tiued tomorrow.

TAX ON BANANAS.
Government of Guatemala RObbing
Planters of All Their Profits.

MOBILE, Ala, Nov. 15-The steamship
Managua from Guatemalan ports, has ar
rived with half a cargo of bananas, report
ing that since the Guatamalan government
put on the export duty of 10 cents stem on
bananas planters have stopped cutting and
cargoes of the fruit are not obtainable. The
steamer Oteri also came in this morning,
reporting storms in Spanish Honduras so Sc
we're as to wash out bridges on the Hondu-
ras railroad and prevent the handling of
fruit by rail- The Oteri, therefore, brought
no banana cargo
The captain of the Managua says that the
10 cents tax on bananas is for revenue pur
poses to defray the expenses Of the recent
anti-revolutionary operations; that 10 cents
a stem amounts to % per cent. of what plan
ters get for bananas. and is about ali the
profit from raising the fruit; that planters
may as we'll let their fields lie waste as TO
attempt to pay this tax. The tax was i'm
posed Nov /. A committee of planters has
gone to see the President of Guatemala TO
try to get the tax removed. The captain
thinks that they will effect modification
if not a removal OF the tax.

The tracks of the ontario ana West
crn company's Keyser Valley branch
were not removed from the First ward
street crossings yesterday, as was
threatened by the city officials.
Mayor Moir and street Commissioner
O'Boyle went up yesterday afternoon
to look over the ground in company
with Vice President John Il. Kerr, of
the Ontario and WESTERN company.
They found that the streets in MIR.
Recse's ward which have been crossed
by the railroad exist only on the map.
The territory is for the most part waste
lands with but a few houses on it
scattered here and there.
Mr.. Kerr explained to the city OFF,
cials that his company had no inten-
tion whatever of disregarding the city's
authority in this matter but simply
went ahead on the strength of assur-
anCoS from city officials individually
that it would be all right This and
the fact that no objections had been
raised to the resolution permitting the
company to cross the streets led the
company To allow the work to go on,
after reaching the city line.
MIR. Kerr promised that no further
work would be done until councils
have acted on the resolution. The
railway committee Of select council
which has the measure in hand will
report on il at tonight's meeting. 1t
is also likely that resolution will be
passed temporarily Countermandine
the order contained in the resolution
directing the city officials to stop the
having of grade crossings
The mayor is not disposed to take
any further action, at least until after
'unghtS council meetings.
The railroad is now complete from
the Capouse colliery in Keyser Valley
to Dickson city. excepting a short
stretch ON each side of West Market
street and the trestle across Leggetts
creek.
