The stock Market.

| New York. Aug. 16.--The violent raid
made upon the value of securities by the
bear element yesterday furnished ma
| terial for its own remedy, in the shape
of uncovered contracts on the short side.
| There was a fierce contesti n the early
dealings to break prices further, the
bears continuing to center their attack
on Brooklyn Transit and the local trac-
ton stocks. Other members of the
group proved more vulnerable than
Brooklyn Transit, in which powerful
I support by inside interest was forthcom-
ing while Metropolitan Street Railway
and Manhattan yielded easily. The
best forts of the bears only carried

CORCORAN FOUND GUILTY.
MURDER IN SECOND DEGREE
The Leader Of the Burke Union Found
Guilty-He Was Sentenced For Seven
teen Years ut Hard Labor In the Psnf-
teniary by the Judge.

Wallace, Idaho, July 29.-Paul Corcor'
an is guilty of murder OF James Cheyne
After celebrating all night, the jury filed
into the court room and announced the
verdict:
Guilty OF murder in the second degree
Which meant that Paul Corcoran, lead.
er of the rioters, must spend at least 10
years in the penitentiary to atone for his
part in the outrages at Wardner on that
eventful Saturday, April 30.
The verdict, while not unexpected, has
created great excitement here. 1t means
that the Miners Union has been hope
lessly beaten after one OF the greatest legal
battles ever fought in American courts.
1t means more than this, for it is the sig
nal for the vigorous prosecution and Sc
we're punishment of the maddened mob
that blew up the Bunker Hill l. Sullivan
mill Just three months ago.
At the later session of the court Corcoran
was sentenced to imprisonment for IL
years in the penitentiary.
Court then adjourned until September.

Another Car Blown Up.

Cleveland, July 3l.-The blowing up Of
another Euclid Beach suburban car ha.
demonstrated that the danger point is moi
yet passed in connection with the street
car strike in this city. The plan to re-
lease the military force early next week
will probably be abandoned and the sol
diers retained indefinitely.
Contrary to previous reports, eight pas
sengers were aboard the car wrecked, and
that they escaped serious injury is con-
sidered almost miraculous. The explosive
used was unusually powerful. The heavy
car was lifted fully two feet from the
track by the explosion. The flooring was
blown upwards and over the tops of the
seats.
The authorities are unable to get the
slightest clue to the identity of the per-
petrators of the outrage.
The cars are now moving on every line
of the Big Consolidated system.

Twenty Cases in Atchison and One
Death Has occurred-Papers
Keep It Quiet

Atchison, March 4.-There are twenty
cases OF smallpox in this city and there
is reason to believe it will spread The
first case appeared in North Atchison
near the Catholic church Every mem
Der of one family of eight persons had
the disease and one died. All thus far
who have had it are white people. The
infected houses are quarantined and the
houses closely guarded.
The papers here are not mentioning
the matter much, trying to keep it quiet.
However the following appeared in the
Globe last evening:
There is new case of scare in the
family of a man named Lancaster, who
lives in a portion of the Andrews
house, on the corner of Ninth and Kan
sas avenue. The patient is a girl II
years old, and it is understood that she
family only recently removed to Atchi-
under quarantine. The case of Jack
Colgan is the only bad one that has APP
peared, and fears for his recovery are
entertained. 1t is supposed that he con-
tracted the disease from the Independ-
ence creek neighborhood where it ex-
lists. DR.. c. F. Howe is out there again
today, and the authorities will place a
guard there to maintain quarantine reg
ulationS. DR.. Howe makes an interest
ing statement concerning the disease in
town. He says that in the different
families he has charge Of with one ex-
ception, the disease has been confined
to the patient originally taken down
with it, the other members of the fam
lily escaping. In the exception there was
a second very mild case"

Fashion and philanthropy went hand

unusual sight of a handsome woman
walking along with a delegation of stall
Wart Indians.
Tt was Mrs. Cushman K. Davis, wife
of the United States senator and peace
commissioner to Paris. Her escort was
Falmouth, the leading chief of the
Sioux Indians of the Blue Earth reser-

thirty braves from the same reServa-
ton. The party, which had met at the

ia avenue, went to the interior depart
lnent for the purpose of telling the new

Mrs. Davis, having met Secretary

The conference lasted for an hour. and
upon leaving the Indians were assured
by the secretary that one of the first
acts of his administration would be to
look thoroughly into their grievances.
