CHANGES IN SECURITIES
Stocks Open Active, With Irregular
Fluctuations in Prices.
Manhattan Railway and Tennessee
COnI and Iron Make Rapid Ad-
vances-Limited Variations I'm the
Tradings Carried ON In Standard
Issucs-Pacific Shares Still Weak.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The stock mar
ket opened active and showing irregular
changes in prices. The London market
was closed over one of the usual summer
holidays. but the cables reported in the
curb dealings there firm tone existed
owing to the lessening apprehensions Of
war with the Transvaal Republic.
An influence making for good in the
dealings was the news this morning re-
garding the contemplated action of the
Secretary of the Treasury in allowing
the payments made under the internal rev.
nue. law to remain on deposit in the local
banks.
The strongest features of the market
were Manhattan Railway and Tennessee
Coal and Iron, the latter stock advancing
with special rapidity. The advance in Man.
haitian was again attended by rumors that
an alliance with the Metropolitan Street
Railway in some form or other was being
arranged. The changes in the standard
stocks were very limited and were irregu-
lar. A fair amount of business was done
in the granger stocks, Northern Pacific and
the other Pacific issues Southern Pacific
continued weak. While it was commonly
assumed that the bank statement would
show a very heavy reduction in surplus re-
serves, that circumstance appeared to have
been discounted from speculative view
point,

ODD FREAKS IN MARBLE.
4 Huge Cat and Headless Trunk
I'm the New Postoff.ce.

A monster cat and the headless human
trunk. strangely reproduced in stone. nov
guard the door leading TO the quarters of
II. X Van Alstyne, superintendent of the
registry division in the new Postoffice
Building. These are two freaks of nature
and art combined, which are attracting
the attention of all visitors to the build
ing. These were discovered by Col. o. H.
Smith, the superintendent of the building
a few DAYS ago, and since have been
shown to hundreds of visitors sn1 views
of them taken by numbers OF kodak fiends
who are always in search of photographs
of the curious.
The door of Mr.. Van Alstylne's office is
TO the right OF the big portals lead ng into
the building from Twelfth Street, and on
the right of the door worked out by lines
in the Tennessee marble is the perfect
picture of a huge cat four feet tell and two
feet in width. The cat is gray in co,or
and perfectly formed excepting that the
paws of the animal are not shown. The
cat is sitting upon its launches the ears
beard, and mouth being particularly
prominent in this freak OF nature While
gray as the predoninadng color there are
also patches and streaks OF cream CO o..
showing on the body of the animal.
Inc unusual tnlng IN the fOrmat on OF
the cat is the fact that il is made UP of
two separate and and adjoining slabs OF
marble, which, whether by accident or
design, the workmen put together so that
the lines of one merge into the lines of the
other, forming the almost perfect figure
of the feline.
On the same pieces of marble forming
the cat can also be traced out the head
less trunk of a human being. The neck
begins where the cats head ends and olt-
side of the animal can readily be traced
lines of the cats body and appear TO rest
upon the hips. The arms and hips are of
cream colored marble and are brought
more prominently into view by the dark
grey patches of the marble forming the
cats body.
On the left of Mr.. Van Alstynes door
is the figure of another headiess trunk
even more perfectly formed than the one
adjacent to the cats picture in stone
This trunk is about four feet lcng, the
head appearing to have been cut of
smoothly and the arms following down
the sides of the grey-colored marble are
of cream color. The legs are cut off
close TO the body. Mr.. Van Alstyne is not
worried by the grewsome guardians OF his
sanctum, but the watchmen of that side
OF the building is kept busy making the
! crowds which drop into see the freaks
move on in order that the letter carriers
who enter the building from the Twel tn
| Street side may reach the main office 10
/ get their mail.

MIR. EVANS RETURNS.
The Commissioner of Pensions Says
He Is Unscathed.


When Henry Clay Evans, Commissioner
of Pensions, reached his Office this morn
ing after his return from the Grand Army
Encampment at Philadelphia, he was given
a warm reception. His desk was decorated
with American flags. white roses, immor-
telles and chrysanthemums They were tied
with large, white silk bow, beneath the
inscription: THE Mountain Labored and
Brought Forth Mouse"
Congratulations were extended to the
Commissioner by continuous stream of
clerks and visiting veterans, who called to
pay their respects. General Porter and
other officers of the G. A. K. were among
the callers.
Commissioner Evans said to a Times re-
porter: The good will of the veterans
was manifested wherever / went in or
outside of the encampment. There was
not ripple against me wherever | met
them. The only opposition came from this
city, led by Washington attorneys, whose
attempts TO influence the encampment into
their way of thinking was failure from
beginning TO end. / am very much graft
fed over the outcome of the encampment
so far as the Pension Office is concerned,
and / am feeling very comfortable over the
fact that. after SO much threatened trouble
for me at Philadelphia, j have returned to
Washington not only unscathed, but with
strong endorsement of my official acts.
| have performed my full duty conscien-
tiously. both to the Government and 10 the
/ pensioners. and say again that l am high
! ly grat;fied that the veterans have aCkn.wl-
edged my good faith in the administration
of my Office"

The market was much such as was to be
expected. Prices opened of fractionaliy in
the general list and during the first hour
gradually driftad lower to the accompani-
msnt of realizing in expectation of the
bad bank statement. When the statement
appeared IL was so bad that although ex-
pected. and prepared for, the Street did not
have the courage to buy stocks and the
shorts mostly failed to cover as many had
thought they would. The close was at the
lowest prices for the day. There was Moth
ing like panic however, declines for the
day being generally only fractional in the
railway list. 1t is difficult to make any in
tclligent prediction as TO the market on
Monday, but the chances Of the situation
hesitation and somewhat lower prices. The
conviction of Dreyfus undoubtedly makes
the situation in France critical in the ex-
treme and II is a situation which, much
more "asily than the South African trouble
may lead to large international complica-
tro-s. Ice bank statement reflects heavy
losses of money in New York and a very
small margin of reserve over the legal re-
Quiremerts IN the New York banks 1t
means that the danger of tight money is
still present and even acute, despite the

STREET PAVING.

Most of the Summer Contracts are
About Completed.
Mr.. Thomas G. Britt, supervisor of
paving for the board of public works,
will go to New Cumberland next Mon
day. to inspect the brick to be used
here on street paving contracts. The
board takes time by the forelock in
matters of this kind and its foresight
has been extremely beneficial.
Much of the summer work in charge
Of the board is approaching completion.
Contractor William Stobbs will likely
start to-day to put the curbIng down
on Seventeenth street, between Eoff and
chaplIne, and will start to pave the
street in about two weeks,
Contractor Carney may complete the
paving of Eighteenth street, near the
Terminal depot, and at the intersection
Of Market and Twenty-second streets
to-day, after which he will begin on his
contract on Jacob between Eighteenth
and Nineteenth streets.
The board will ark for bids for laying
sewers in few days. In this connec-
ton it is apropos to remak that the
Sixth ward will nat get any improve
ments this year unless Its Democratic
councIlmen patch up their factional
fight.

Yesterday the water board shut the
supply of again by digging up the
pavement and shutting the water OF
at the main. Previously the water cock

yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Henry and a
