BADLY BITTEN.
A Cleveland County Farmes Named
 Jones Encounters Vicious Dog.

Early this morning a Cleveland county farmer named Jones was se- riously and savagely bitten by a common cur dog that was guarding it's masters wagon at Steele's wag- on yard on West Fourth avenue.
 Tho dog was lying under the wag- on, and Jones, ignorant of it's pres ence, approached near him while go- ing to nearby stall to get his horse. As he passed the dog, which doubt less was of the opinion that Jones was after something in the wagon, 1t attacked him. Jumping on him he tore large pieces of flesh from Jones legs near the abdomen, and bit him in ssveral other places. Help came aud the dog was finally made to loose bis determined grip.
 Jones suffered agonizing pain and a physician found it necessary to cut a part of the lacerated flesh way. At this writing Jones is resting easy and is doing as well as as could be expected under the circumstances.
 A policeman was called to the wagon yard aBd the dog was shot and killed.

The action OF the stock market yesterday
was all that had been expected by the bulls
and q little more. Prices went up all
day with no periods OF weakness and
few Of hesitation. The opening was al
about the level of Mondays prices, and
the close was from fraction to three
points or more up. The buying by the
strong interests was continued, and the
public made many purchases in the aggre-
gate, though IL cannot be said that the
commission house buying was very large.
Predictions made at all times during the
day that there would soon be break came
TO naught, the close even showing no real
izing that could be dignifed with the

though il is hardly to be expected that
the session will pass without some recess
sion. The general expectation is that there
will be good opening, and perhaps higher
prices during the first hour. Some people
who do not wish TO be too optimistic look
for decline then which may last until
near the close. The entire situation is an
excellent one for the people who have
bought stocks since Saturdays break, as
far as any prediction can be made. The

The influence of such man, the in

In business affairs, as fluctuations go the

he predicted can come TO pass. He is dead

Traders Recuperating From
Their Recent Shock.
The Market Apparently Free From
Attempts at Manipulation.
An Expected Modification of the
Franchise Tax Biii Advances
New York Traction Shares.

New York, May 16.-Prices advanced in
this mornings stock market without the
development of any particular influence Of
a nature to stimulate speculative senti-
ment. Technically regarded, the market
disclosed the evident completion of the
general liquidation under which prices de-
clined last week. Noting this, the short
interest that has developed in the past
week or two became nervous and their
feelings were not relieved by the attitude
of the disengaged room traders, who bid
up prices throughout the list until they
attracted a moderate amount of commits
sion house buying. So far as could be as
certained there was no effort on the part
of the inside interest either to sustain or
to advance their specialties. The market
was, in fact, very dull and for the most
part the dealings reflected little or no
manipulation. The advance in prices was
not helped by the dealings in the local
market for foreign account. These were
small in volume and on both sides Of the
account. The London market was rather
heavy in the American quarter because Of
the Cuban complications and the ether di-
visions on account of the fears OF political
friction in the Far East
The only group of stocks that were affect
ed by a particular cau1e were the local
traction shares, which rose on the pros
pective calling of the State Legislature
in extra session for the purpose of modi-
flying some OF the provisions OF the Ford
franchise bill Wall Street seemed to jump
to the conclusion that this meant the null
lifcation OF the measure, a view hardly
tenable in the light of the Governors we'll
defined position toward the question. The
money market was extremely easy and
sterling exchange was firm. There were
few interesting statements of traffic re-
turns submitted today and no other i'm
portant additions 10 the general statisti-
cal situation.
good feature of the market was the
general distribution shown in the dealings.
While the most pronounced advances were
in the industrial quarter, and in the local
traction shares, there were also material
advances III the granger shares. the Pacific
stocks, New York Central and others of the
same grade. There were also noteworthy
advances in Southern Pacific and Central
Pacific, and unusually large dealings in
Baltimore and Ohio issues when issued"
The new securities of the latter are ex
peeted TO be delivered within fortnight.
There was also increasing activity in the
anthracite coal shares at advancing prices.

CARPENTERS FILE A PROTEST
Trouble Over the Woodwork for the
"Starn Building.


Carpenters Union No. l, and Carpenters
Assembly No. 1T4S, X. of L., which are
affiliated with the local Federation of La
bor at the meeting of that organization
held last evening, at Plasterers' Hall,
filed protests against the Evening Star
Company having the greater part of the
woodwork for its new building done out
side the city of Washington. The dele
gates from the carpenters organizations re-
ported that upon investigation by their
unions it was ascertained that the Star
Company had contracted with a firm in
Wilmington, Del, for the woodwork on its
new building, and that all the material
would be sent to Washington ready to be
placed in position. 1t was stated that the
contract with the Washington people went
so far as to require the painting and warm
ishing of material before it is sent to this
city.
Aside from the trouble with the stone
cutters in relation to the place of the
cutting OF the stone for the building, the
carpenters say that this action by the Star
Company is strangely at variance with its
promise that all the material except the
stone would be prepared on the building
ground. 1t was also stated that the work
being done in Wilmington is by non union
labor
In connection with this subject a state
ment was sent out to the affiliated organi
cations informing them that all the ma
terial to be used in the erection of the
Star building, is, up to the present time
being prepared by ''scab'f labor. The
matter of the preparation Of the woodwork
for the building in Wilmington Will be dis
cussed at the next meeting OF the Car
penters Council, which is composed Of all
the carpenters organizations in Washing
ton.
The delegates from the Shoe Clerks AS
semby reported that that organization will
petition the shoe dealers OF the city to close
their stores next Wednesday, May a. in
order that their employees might participate
in the Peace Jubilee ceremonies on that
day.

They must hold stocks until the public
is willing to buy them, which will not be
until prices are much higher and the bull
movement is in full swing. 1t may be
that the developments of the next day or
two will not be entirely bullish. AS has
been pointed out, there are some interests
that will wish to sell out their stocks as
soon as possible, and these people may
cause small recessions. Stocks should be
bought on all such breaks. according to
