Stocks which showed good gains at the
outset were forced down Immediately,
some of the specialties dropping to
2 points. London offerings of interna-

export stimulated bear aggression.
Heavy buying of the steel and wire
common and preferred lifted them 4
points, and caused sympathetic rallies
in other metal issues. Federal Steel
bounded up "a. SUPPORT also appeared
in other quarters, and prices worked
sharply upwards, the international

Large liquidation developed again IN

the rise in prices after steel and wire

THE LATE H. G. CAUSE.
A Tribute TO tne Talented Young Whining
toniaa Who Died In New Haven. Conn,


A Tribute TO the Talented Young Whining
tonisa Who Died In New Haven. Conn,
gu Monday.
Harry Courtlandt Cause, whose
death occurred in New Haven, Conn.
on Monday, was the oldest son of
Harry Taylor Cause, president of tho
Harlan q Hollingsworth Co.. and of
Virginia Ingersoll Cause. On Deem.
Der 8th he was successfully operated
upon for appendicitis, and was rapidly
recovering, when, as the result of a
severe hemorrhage, his heart gave way,
and in spite of every endeavor be
failed to rally, dying on tho morning
of the 18th.
Mr.. Cause was graduate of Yale In
tho class of '9a. His career in college
was an unusually successful one, and
gave promise Of life of distinguished
service. He was awarded high mention
at graduation, and in his senior year
was elected to the'honorary society of
Sigma XII. At Glass Day he was che
of the committee of arrangements, and,
fer the general excellence OF his work,
received graduate scholarship in the
Sheffield Scientific School. This year
he worked upon higher studies for the
degree of Nastor of Science, and in
these, as in everything, his record was
enviable. He was a man without re-
proach. For his classmates he stood
as typo of the best, for his friends as
an ideal of all they held most worthy
of attainment. Those who have known
him well will always hold that fact as
the greatest of their privileges, and his
friendship as the best of their pos
sessions, There are few of these, but
he had 1i a host Of friends and, because
guessed their number. For then, bis
that cannot be measured by his years.

It Never Reached Its Destination, and is
Now Made Public, After a Lapse of Over
Thirty-six Years.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wres.
Baltimore, Md, Dec. 20.-Mr. A. f.
Morrison of Leesburg, Va, has left
with the Mercantile Trust Co. for safe
keeping, the last dispatch written by
Stonewall jackson. The dispatch was
directed to Gen. Lee and was written
at 3 O'Clock on the afternoon of May
I'd, 1868. Gen. jackson was killed
about o'clock the same day.
The dispatch was intrusted to Mr..
Morrison for delivery, but never reached
its destination, as the bearer was
wounded in his efforts to get through
the lines and was unable to proceed or
to turn the dispatch over to another
courier. Mr.. Morrison has since kept
the paper, which he prizes highly as
being, perhaps, the last official action
of the famous Confederate general.
The dispatch reads as follows
Near six miles west Chancellors-
vile, p. M, May I'd. 1s63-General !:
Tho enemy has made stand at Chan
cellors, which is about two miles from
Charlottesville. | hope SO soon as
practicable to attack. 1 trust that an
ever kind Providence will bless us
with success. Respectfully,
'.T. j. jackson, Lieutenant General.
"To Gen. Robert E. Lee.
"P. S-The leading division is up
and next two appear to be well closed.

THE KNIGHTS OF pyTHlAS.
Grand Tribunal VIII Take mp the Charges
Against the Supreme chancellor, Thomas
@. sample, on January 10Th.

Grand Tribunal VIII Take mp the Charges
Against tho Supreme chancellor, Thomas
@. sample, on January 10Th.
Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, Dec. 10.
Among the go lodges of the Knights
of Pythias in Philadelphia, the keenest
interest is felt in the coming session of
the Grand Tribunal in this city,
January 10th, when the charges
against Supreme Chancellor Thomas
G. Sample win be taken up.
This Tribunal is the higher court,
but there is only one member in the
chairs to represent the 90 lodges of
this city, with their 9,253 members
George II. Wayne of Cosmopolitan
Lodge. No. 233 The other members
are Wallace H. Falls, Of New Castle;
p. ii. Armstrong, OF Plymouth; j. A.
Lindsay, Of Bradford D. S. Brindle,
of Carlisle; #. b. Jones, of Johns
town. and George W. Miles, of Dam
Vile.
The charges against the Supreme
Chancellor are the unauthorized ex-
pendituro of $1,000 for detective
services, and the employment of mem.
bers in this city, to uncover alleged
violations of the law, which DEGREES
that $40 shall be the minimum figure
on tho initiation, some of the lodges
having reduced it to SO, but they made
up the difference.
Forty-tw lodges in this city are
represented in the Council of Seven
bringing the charges, and at meet
ing in the Odd Fellows Temple last
evening, the circular of complaint was
discussed at length, but nothing WINS
given out for publication. Those in
the council are FL. M. Wadsworth, NJ.
A. Fryer, Lemuel Wilt, Lewis G.
Carey, George b. Wright, and William
Mullin. These AZ lodges are the lodges
against which charges have been
brought for breaking the law by re-
ducing the initiation fee. Counsel has
been engaged by both sides to the
issue, and lively time is expected
when the Grand Tribunal meets.
1t is thought that the result may
bring about division of tho order in
this State, one of the strongest in the
I'm tied States. There are PAT lodges
and Al, 600 members. with S1,047, COO in
invested funds. The State lodges ap.
pear to be very much against the city,
although there is no apparent justi-
fable reason for it. Should the Grand
Tribunal decide against the city an
appeal will be taken to the Supreme
Tribunal. 1t can go no further than
| that.

COUNSEL AND CLIENT AT ODDS.
Stephen w. Cloud stands Upon Constitu-
tionaI Richts-Wants Trial.


ttonaI Riehts-Wants a Trial.
The unusual incident of an attorney
and his client appearing in antagonism
was seen in the Superior Court yes
terday, when Stephen W. Cloud,
standing upon his right under the
Federal and the State Constitutions,
addressed the court and insisted on the
trial of case in which his counsel had
advised settlement. The attorney was
John p. Nields, who stated to the
court that at the February term, the
case OF Stephen W. Cloud vs.. Brandy
wine Lodge. No. Is, |. 0. y. F., had
been brought; that in the light of the
decision in the Almon case and in
view of all the facts he had accepted a
settlement in full of his clients claim,
but his client had refused to accept the
settlement. Mr.. Nields stated that Mr..
Cloud was in court and asked the court
to do what was proper in the matter.
MI. Cloud addressed the court and
declared that two attorneys had laid
down on him. The court reproyeo him
for the remark, and Chief Justice Lore
said that there was no member of the
bar in whose capacity and integrity
the court had more confidence than
Mr.. Nields. He told Mr.. Cloud that
he made a mistake in not accepting
the advice of his attorneys. John X.
Bradford had tho case previously
Mr.. Cloud insisted that under the
Federal Constitution aud under the
State Constitution, he had right to
be heard, and he demanded trial.
He said he was not after money, but
after vindication of his character
The court said he had a right to
bring suit, but he would have to do SO
according to the rules OF the court; it
could not be tried now as there we're
no pleadings and no jury. 1t might be
brought up at the February term, and
in the meantime, he could secure
another attorney. 1t would be praotl-
cally impossible for him to conduct tho
case.

WANT TO Be RtlNSTATED.
Italians Appeal 10 tho Court TO Have Their
Membership In society Restored.

memberahtp IN SocietY Restored.
Antonio Giannetteo, Ratfaele Ber-
nardo and Salvador Verberame, through
Sheir attorney, Horace q. Knowles, to-
day appealed tc the Superior Court for
reinstatement in the italian Mutual
Beneficial Society.
Upon the application of the Pc
titioners' counsel, the court made a
rule requiring the society and its $50
or so members to show cause why a
writ of peremptory mandamus should
not issue compelling them TO reinstate
the petitioners. The rule was made re-
turnable on January Sd.
The petitions set forth that the
petitioners were Illegally expelled with
cut proper notice and contrary to the
constitution and bylaws of the society.
Tho society has considerable sum Of
money and personal property and the
petitioners allege that by the illegal
action of which they complain they
were deprived of their rights and
interest in the society and its pos-
sessions.
In the case of William Wilson vs..
Margaret Furry, ct al, l.. |. Handy,
for certain defendants moved that
Judgment be refused Notwithstanding
an affidavit of demand. Benjamin
Nields, for the plaintiff abbreviated
the argument by stating that he did
not intend to take judgment on his afli-
dsrit. Mr.. Handy then moved that the
writ be quashed on the ground of in
sufiicienoy of the sheriff's return. The
court asked Mr.. Handyt to draw out his
motion in writing and it is to be con-
