JERSEY BULL
Was the Subject of Litigation In
Justice Spencer's Court This
MOrninU.

City Clerk Ben Catlin was defend
ant in an Interesting suit in Justice
Spencer's court .this morning.
The suit was for possession of Jer.
sey bull which had been attached by
Mrs. Annie Merrill to satisfy a ,jud
ment held by her against the city
clerk amounting to S127.70.
The seizure of the bull was resisted
on the grounds that it was not the
properly of defendant. but of his son
who operates the dairy business for
his sister. Mrs. Patterson.
The plaintiff endeavored to show
that the son, who is not of age, owned
nothing except what was legally the
property of defendant aud subject to
execution to satisfy claims against
him.
M. w. Stanton and Joseph Sweeney
represented the plaintiff and Wynd-
ham Kemp the defendant and the case
was warmly contested.
After hearing the evidence and ar
guments the case was decided in favor
of the city clerk, whereupon. the
plaintiff gave notice of appeal.

REDUCTION
A Chicago Street Railway Company
Reduced Fares.

CHICAGO, Sept.9.-The action of the
Chicago General railway in offering q
two-cent fare on it's branch lines and
the Immediate SUCCESS of the innova-
tions has suggested to the management
the establishment of a new rate of one
cent e mile, with a maximum of five
cents.
The Chicago City railway and the
Union Traction company may follow
the example of che Chicago General
company on some of their shortest
lines.
The establishment of the two-cent
fare las increased rather than decreas-
ed material profits.

GOOD SUGGESTION
For a Public Clock That Strikes the
Hours.

Ell PASO, Sept. 9.
EDITOR DAILY HERALD.-It is ma
turally difficult in city like Ell Paso
to keep apace with its Requirements
but assuredly it would BIZ q great boon
to it's ever increasing population if the
court house or other public clock could
be made to strike out the hours. When
walking iu the plaza day or night you
Rresure to beaccOsted with the enquiry
''time, please" and l have noticed how
many rely upon the whistles or tinkling
of the tin bell at noon.
AT such time I often think of the
poets lines wherein he says:
'The clock strikes one: we take no
note of time but from it's loss: to give
it then a tongue is wise in man.
hope this suggestion may find sup
porters and thus secure public bene-
fit.

RENNEs, Sept. 9.-The Dreyfu
court martial has adjourned its session
until o'clock this afternoon. 1t ii
generally supposed that the verdic
will be announced at that hour.
PARIS, Sept. 9.-The city is in q
fever of expectancy over the result oi
the Dreyfus case. There are crowds
about the newspaper offices waiting for
bulletins. The military and police
have been heavily reinforced.
RENNEs, Sept. 9.-Everything this
morniug denoted that something un-
usual was to take place at Rennes to-
day. Bodies of troops and gendarmes
were early astir and the town heard
the tramp of marching men.
The public was excluded from q
space of nearly a quarter of a mile
around Lycee and in each OF the
streets approaching the court were sta
toned three barriers Of troops with in
tervsls between.
The soldiers formed Gordon about
the court building and were posted in
the plaza in the center of the town.
In front of the postoffice was drawn up
body of mounted gendarmes ready to
gallop to any point where trouble
threatened.
The whole garrison of Rennes was
under arms and altogether 5000 men
were ready to preserve peace.
AS consequence of the military dis
play, few people stood about and there
was no attempt at demonstrs-
tion.
Newspaper correspondents on their
way to Lycee we're stopped at each
barrier of troops and their credentials
examined, AT the door of the court
room every one entering was thorough
ly searched and none were allowed to
have a cane or'anything that could pos
sibly serve as weapon or mis-
sile
The session of the court resumed at
8 o clock. The police and military re-
doubled their watchfulness.
Major Garriere arose and said:
81 submit myself to the council with
a few final words. Gentlemen, you have
but two choices: One Is acquital, the
other is conviction.
"Your duty must be rendered fear
lessly, Loyalty and intelligently. You
know the law and your duty as soldiers
to France. The whole world awaits
your decision.
The court then retired to deliberate. |
AT 4:30 o'clock they were still out.
RENNES, Sept. 9.-The verdict was
announced at SOP o'clock and the
crowd outside greeted the announce
ment with cheers for the army.
Had one more judge voted for &C.
quittal, Dreyfus would have been &c
quilted. By the rules of the French
courtmartial the bare majority of the
judges would not have convicted. |

Financial Review,

New York, July 7-Bradstreet's Finan-
cial Review tomorrow will say: The for
NAL announcement of last Friday week
that the lease of the Boston &, Albany
had been ratified by the New York direc-
tors gave a further decided impetus to
speculation on last Saturday. The market
accordingly was decidedly strong for the
three-days holiday and totally disregard
ed both the advance of call loan rates to
5G6 per cent. and the unexpectedly heavy
reduction of bank reserve shown by the
clearing house averages for the week.
The speculative world is inclined to re-
gard these two last mentioned crcum-
stances. as well as the maintenance of rel
atively high call loan rates since the holt
day, as temporary effect of the enor-
nous July interest and dividend disburse-
ments. The fact that on Saturday the
Nanderbilts, grangers and standard rail-
road shares rose sharply and attracted
nearly all the attention, showed the direc-
tor which the movement was inclined to
take. 1t may also be specially mentioned

New York, July 7-Sentiment on the
stock exchange favored lower prices dur
ing the greater part of to-day'e session,
but the feeling changed in the late deal
ings and prices were brought well above
Yesterdays level before the close. The
latest strength originated in the South
western group of railroads. Missouri Pa
cific, Kansas & Texas preferred, Wabash
preferred, Texas and Pacific and st. Louis
Southwestern all rose between l and 2
points and aroused an acting buying
movement in the other portions of the
list. 1t was notable. however, that some
of the stocks which have enjoyed the
into comparative neglect when interest
began to be manifested in the Southwest
erns. The grangers, however, after morn
ing declines averaging point, were bid up
well above last nights close in the late
dealings.
Good weather in the Northwest and
weakness in the wheat market and Brad
streets decrease of $500, 900 bushels in Eu-
ropean wheat stocks were the motives
for the buying of the grangers. Part of
this buying was said to be covering by

tivity and strength, rising 2A points above

Independent strength before the market
generally had turned upward. The stock
rose to within a shade of 122, but reacted
a point.
The upward movement In Pennsylvania
and New York Central at the opening on
the published report of plan to CONSOLE
date did not hold the general ma -ket
though those two maintained the advance
in prices pretty well. Practically the
the maximum gain for them was estab-
lished In London before the opening her..
Pennsylvania was held at 1873 only mo-
mentarily and was rated not far from 1877
all day.
The early period of the marke. was
gwen over to continued liquidation. TIE
industrial specialties and local traction
stocks were notably weak. The late
strength of the Southwesterns was shared
by c., C., c. & st. L., Tennessee Coal and
Colorado Fuel.
The growing ease of the money market
helped in value. The fears of dearer
money in London gave way under the adj
vance of the continental EXCHANGES on
London. The call rate dropped from to
per cent. in London: actual rates for
sterling exchange fell Adh per cent in

Produce.

Chicago, July 7-September wheat
opened &c below yesterdays closing price,
influenced largely at the start by inn
proved weather conditions. Foreign mar
kets were weak and lower and domestic
receipts were too heavy for the demand.
The total primary market receipts were
S3S0O0 bushels against $1,000 bushels the
year before, and London cabled that the
supply there was in excess of the demand.
Argentine shipments for the week were
1216,000 bushels. against 1,0S0,000 bushels
the week previous, while the local re-
ceipts were n cars against 2S a year ago.
and Northwestern receipts footed up 42l
cars compared with 43 cars last year. All
this was meat for the bears and Septem-
Der went as low as 73Bc.
Bradstreet's report of 100000 bushels
decrease in the worlds visible and Du-
luth's estimate of the April increase in
stocks there for the week of 750,UV Bush
els helped the market a trit1e. but the pres
sure of immediate supplies was more eff
fective upon speculative sentiment than a
prospective scarcity and September wound

Corn was dull and easy. September
closed with a loss of kc. 1t followed
wheat in the main.
Oats opened unchanged, but soon de-
clined in sympathy with wheat and corn.
There was a good demand from shippers
and the market rallied, closing at the

lation was mainly directed to advancing
prices in various parts of the list. Pools
and prominent houses were active in con-
nection with their specialties, while the
bond market presented a decidedly firm
appearance.
However, there appeared to be dispo-
sition to take profits in the Vanderbilt
and granger shares. which caused recess
sions from the early high prices for these
securities and number of specialties and
low-priced shares came to the front. The
industrials, too. once more became active
and exhibited the influence of speculative
support and buying. These tendencies as
serted themselves more significantly in
Thursdays trading, the tone of the mar
ket on that day being strong in the main,
but was irregular in different parts of the
list and more of a disposition to pay atten-
ton to the firmness of call money
and the failure of rates to relax
Immediately. On Friday the tone gem
orally was firm and was not affected by
official denials of the exaggerated reports
about the erbilt-Pennsylvania al
lance. The junior Vanderbilt stocks were
