shot and killed Police Sergeant Passau, of
Washington. and who with John Brown
is held for the murder of Louis and Dora
Rosenstein at SlideIl. this county. will be
placed on trial at Frederick Wednesday,
July 3.
When the court was called to order,
Senator Bouic, one of the counsel ap
pointed by the court to defend Brown,
arose and moved that G. NJ. Anderson's
appearance on behalf Of Browns be
stricken out This motion was granted
This leaves George A. Pearre, jr., OF Balu

10 defend Brown. Attorney James Fechtig,
of Baltimore, viii defend Taylor.
About 1918 O'Clock Taylor and Brown
were brought into court by Deputies
Gather and Selby and seated in the pris-
oners' bench. Taylor neryously fingered
.he rim OF his hat and appeared to be Ia
boring under terrible strain while Brown
was remarkably calm.
After the drawing of the grand jury to
comply with the requirements of the
tpecial term, Attorney Feehtig, in the de-
fence OF Taylor, made a motion that his
case be remanded to some other jurisdic-
iion, to be decided upon by the court, in
view OF which Taylor made affidavit that he
was of the impression that he could not re-
eeiye justice here and therefore asked that
his case be transferred. Messrs. Pearre
and Brown made a like motion and Brown
made affidavit accordingly. The witnesses
for the State were then called, after which

One of the rumors in circulation yester-
day regarding the Mergenthaler company
was that a stock dividend OF 100 per cent
is likely to be declared in October. The

Some comment has been caused here by
the statement made in 4 New York paper
recently that William C. Whitney. who
sold out his speculative line Of Mergen-
thaler a few weeks ago, has bought large
interest in the Lanston Monotype Com
pany. The statement was almost immedl
ately denied by the New York paper,

OF business men to membership in the ex-
change. Heretofore the number has been
limited to forty, but as the Washington
security market has grown during the past
year 1t has been thought by many that
larger membership was desirable.
The Washington exchange has had the
best six months in Its history, since the
beginning of the present year. both in the
amount and in the Importance of the busi-
ness transacted. 1t is said that the value
OF stock transferred up to the present time
in 1899 is considerably larger than that of
the entire business of 1897. Many millions
of dollars worth of securities have
changed hands and the commission ac-
counts of the brokers have been large in
many cases. The price of membership in
the exchange has advanced rapidly. Last
year seat sold for $500, and last month
a sale was made at 81 400. The interme-
diate sales were reported at $500, $500, and
$1,000.
A majority OF the stockholders of the
Great Falls Ice Company, at meeting
held yesterday, agreed to accept the offer
of the Knickerbocker Ice Company for the
purchase of their stock, and it is now be-
lieved that the Great Falls concern will
be merged in the trust within short
time. The price offered was s175 q share.
At the meeting yesterday it was decided
that the stockholders should insist that
any stockholder who desires may have the
right to sell his stock and not merely the
holders of a controlling interest. 1t is
understood that the trust made no specific
provision on this point. No deposit has as
yet been made by the Knckerbocker Com
pany, otherwise known as the American
Ice Company. to bind its end Of the deal,
but it is understood that this will be done
today.
Tho stock of the Great Falls Company
consists of 1000 shares of a par value of
500. The total value of the entire capi-
talization at the price accepted is thus
$3.50 900.
The merging of the Great Falls Company

THE FIRST TIME IN BALTIMORE.
The Death Sentence Imposed on
Three Men for AssauIting "a Girl.

Baltimore June 26.-For the first time
in the history of Baltimore the sentence
of death was today imposed for assault
on a colored girl. Three eolored men are
to suffer the penalty, their victim having
been thirteen-yea colored girl.
Those who will hang are Cornelius Gard
ner. Charlie James. and John Myers. The
child they assaulted is Annie Bailey. It
was proved at the trial that OH May s,
the day the crime was committed, Gard
ner first went to the Bailey house, and
finding the girl alone assaulted her. Later
he told James and Myers. his friends,
about it. and they went to the house and
repeated Gardner's crime.
In imposing sentence Judge Wright ere
ated something of a sensation. After re-
viewing the case, he said:
Fearing there might have been some mistake
made, although the evidence was convincing, / re-
quested careful and conscientious detective Off
Ger. who had not been connected with the case. to
re-nvestigate the circumstances Of this crime and
find out if possible anything that might weaken
the effect Of that evidence-to find out all OF the
circumstances so far as he could, that might by
any possibility have changed the verdict OF the
jury After an investigation he reports to me that
there are no circumstances that he could discover
that would have changed the result. / have had
this investigation made not because doubted the
truth Of the evidence the part Of the State, but
that the justice Of the sentence about TO be i'm
posed might be beyond the possibility of mistakes

The coalers were strong, though not par

The Washington Stock Exchange is to
have handsome new building of its own
in the near future, instead of depending
on rented rooms, as at present. A building
lot has been bought in central location
and during the coming six months a fine
office building is to be erected. The ex-
change will reserve for itself commodious
quarters, much larger than the present
rooms. and the remainder of the building
will be rented to business men.
The project has been very much of a
mystery until now. In fact until the pub
lication of the intelligence exclusively in
The Times yesterday afternoon, many
members of the exchange itself had heard
nothing of it. Some time ago President
Hibbs, who has been the chief mover in
the matter, had the exchange direct that

meeting of this committee has been called
for II 80 today at the exchange looms,
when the question of the building will be

already made ratified.

cured is in every way an excellent one

Various causes more or less potent COM
bined to make the opening of the stock
market yesterday morning a buoyant one,
and to make its action during the entire
day strong and most satisfactory to the
believers in higher prices The general
causes that were carefully enumerated in
this column on Sunday morning, the better
outlook for grain crops, the cheapness of
money, the nearness to the 1st of July
had disposed the street generally to an
optimism that only waited for something
specific and fresh in the good news, and
some definite leadership, to induce large
general buying The news developed in
the shape of a deal by which the New
York Central leases the Boston and Albany,
and the leadership of the Vanderbilt
brokers in heavy buying of the Vanderbilt
stocks Immediately became apparent. A
situation is developed which has already
advanced prices excellently, from a point
to five points in the railway list. and which
bids fair TO cause considerable further ad-
vances before the end OF this week and of
this month The course of the market
yesterday was in every way satisfactory
Prices opened high all over the list, with
one or two exceptions, and advanced during
the morning hours. Slight declines oc-
CURED in the afternoon, but there was
nothing like break at any time during

ception, were lacking In support and

seems probable that the advance of these

been expected a few weeks ago. The Fed
