Mr.. and Mrs. N. D. Cortright, OF
Mauch Chunk, Celebrate.

Mauch Chunk, Oct. 27.-One of the
most brilliant and auspicious events
in the lives of Mr.. and Mrs. N. ID.
Cortright jr., was the celebration OF
their silver wedding at their beautlful
residence, on West Broadway last
evening The interior of the home
was decorated magnificently with
plants, flowers and smilaX. Pink and
white roses were entwined prettily in
smilax and the ferns and tropical
plants, and chrysanthemums lent an
additional brilliancy to the scene, es-
pecially when the detection of the
numerous bright lights shone upon
them At s o'clock the guests began
arriving and Immediately were escort
ed to the front drawing room, where
they were received by Mr.. and Mrs.
Cortright, who were warmly congratu-
lated on the memorable event-their
silver wedding. The reception con-
tinued from o'clock until 113O o'clock.
Kauffmans full orchestra was in at
tendance and stimulated the affair with
enchanting music. At intervals the
young folks inddlged in the dizzy
mazes of the waltz while others looked
on. The reception was entirely brill
liant and during the hours it was in
progress refreshments were served.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cortright were welded
twenty-five years ago at Port Ken
nedy, Pa, and since then have been
residents here The splendor of the
celebration last night in conjunction
with those in attendance was a posi-
tive criterion of the fact that they are
indeed held in high esteem by an eX-
tremely large circle of friends.

NINE CARS PILED PRoMIsCU-
oUsLY ON THE TRACK.
A Freight Train Loaded with Fruit
and Cattle in a Smash-Up Near
Tunkhannock - Fifteen Animals
Killed-Cars of Perishable Freight
Destroyed.


Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Tunkhannock, oct 2G-One of the
worst wrecks which have occurred on
this division of the Valley road for
some years occurred just west of the
station here this morning at one
o'clock. The through freight, east
bound carrying cattle end fruit,
twenty cars in all and running fifteen
or twenty miles an hour, broke in hair
coming around the turn a half mile
above the station The train being
held for orders at the station here the
rear end crashed into the front With
the result that nine of the twenty cars
in the train left the rack and were
piled up promiscuously on both sides
Fortunately at the spot where the
wreck occurred there are two long sid
ings, one on each side of the main
tracks, and it was only a short time
after the arrival of the wrecking crew
from CoXton before the two sidings
were clear and these are being used to
run trains around the wreck.
one car loaded with cattle was al
most completely destroyed and about
fifteen head killed outright. The other
cars wrecked were loaded with grapes
ard other perishable stuff and will
prove a total loss. The two main
tracks were torn up for about fifty or
q hundred feet. The damage is var
iously estimated at from $4,000 to $780,
900. At noon today there were still four
cars lying on the main tracks and IL
looked as if it would take another
twenty-four hours to clear away the
wreckage.

GREEN GOODS EPISODE.
A Trapper and a Come on Under
Arrest.

Trenton, n. j., Oct. 27.-George Lee.
on the charge of being a green goods
man, was held in $1,000 bail tonight by
Police Justice Jackson and Nelson
Freeland, of Boise City, Idaho, was de-
tanned as a witness. Freeland made a
confession to Detective Pilger and said
that he came to Trenton to meet Lee
in response to circulars and letters he
had received. The two men arrived in
town yesterday and their actions
aroused the suspicion of the detective.
They left Trenton this afternoon for
New York, where the deal, according
to Freeland, was to have been consum-
mated.
The detective boarded the train and
forced a confession from Freeland and
placed the two men under arrest before
the train had gotten outside the coun-
ty. The men were brought back to
Trenton on a later train and given
hearing.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, oct. H.-The stock mar
ket made a considerable display OF
strength during the early hours of the
day. Later there were occasional ad-
vances by individual stocks or groups,
some OF which saved gains on the day,
but in the majority of cases the active
selling movement of the last hour
wiped out the earlier gains and car
ried prices in some cases sharply be-
low last nights level The motive of
the selling was the fear of an unfavor-
able bank statement tomorrow as well
as to take attractive profits on the
weeks advance. The high priced in
dustrial specialties and the iron and
steel stocks were conspicuous in the
late reaction. The most notable move
ment of the day was the rise i'm sore
of the railroads running through tne
south and southwest Louisville and
Southern railway led with an extreme
advance of 1h. Missouri Pacific was
a close second. There was notable
firmness in Mobile and Ohio, Chesa-
peake and Ohio, Texas Pacific, st.
Louis Southwestern, after an early
weakness and the Baltimore and ohio
stocks. The large earnings shown by
monthly returns caused the movement
The same motive advanced the price
of Atchison preferred and Northern
Pacific. The speculation was mixed
during the greater part of the day,
many of the leading industrials drift
ing UP and down at a level either side
of last nights price. This was true OF
Sugar, Tobacco, Manhattan and the
Leather stocks. The last named Were
reactionary early in the day but the
preferred stock came into active de-
mand late in the day with a rise of 2l2.
Other points of strength at different
| times were Rubber, Republic Steel,
| General Electric, La Clede Gas, Ten
| nessee Coal and Chicago and Eastern
| Illinois preferred. New York, Chicago
and st. Louis first preferred dropped
| over points on a single transaction
without exciting any attention. There
were various points of weakness in the
minor specialties. Stocks of companies
| having to do with the metal industries
| were all inclined to heaviness on ac-
| count of the reactionary tendency in
| the price of metals. The iron and
steel stocks were not EXEMPT, Steel
and Wire dropping an extreme 2$ with
