Bugs in the Liquor.

A certain promoter, who is now in
Cuba said a New Orleans sugar
man, was the victim not great
while ago of what he describes as the
most contemplate outrage ever perpe-
trated upon gentlemen in Louisiana.
The outrage occurred in my private
Office, and | blush to say | was an ac-
cessory before the act You see, this
promoter had been making himself
very free with the premises, and liked
especially to drop into our back office,
, here there was always a bottle of
G, rye on the sdeboard. At first
he nly Joined US on invitation, but
fiji lily he glided into the habit of
helping himself whencvcr he happen
ed ih, which averaged about twice a
day. Ore afternoon my partner,
Billy, was in confectionery store,
and happened to see lot of candy
made in the shape of fantastic bugs,
beetles and lizards. 1t at once occur
red to him that here was chance to
entertain our unbidden guest, so he
brought them to the office, where he
waited patiently until he heard the
promoters voice in the outer room,
and then emptied the collection in the
bottle of rye. AS usual he proceeded
to help himself to nip, and was
smacking his lips when Billy wheeled
suddenly around at his desk You
| didn't drink anything out of that bot
tie, did your he demanded, sharply.
'Why-er-yes, said the promoter,
looking startled. Why? Good hea-
vens!' yelled Billy, Il was using that
to preserve lot Of bugs and lizards
from Guatemala The right w.liskey
is in the cabinet.
"Our friend grabbed up the bottle,
and held it to the light, aud. there,
sure enough, was four-inch stratum
Of horrible-looking blue and yellow
monsters, ell tangled up together.
'Oh, Lord, he gurgled, turning ashy.
i thought it tasted queer; I'm pois-
oned sure With that he shot out of
the Office. We intended to tell him it
was only joke, but he got away too
quick, and about an hour later we re-
ceived visit from doctor wo wanted
to know exactly what kind of bugs
we're in the bottle. He said Col. -
was very sick man. We put him on
and he went away snickering. That
was the last we saw Of the Colonel,
but he swears he will have our gore if
he ever catches us outside of New Or
leans.

filming and Tennessee Coal and Iron

New York, July THE rumored close
alliance TO be effected between the New
York Central and Pennsylvania Railroad
systems caused sharp advance in both
stocks this morning and in the special
dealings the whole list was sympathetical-
ly affected. Manhattan Railway also ad-
Yanced sharply on the statement of one
OF the directors that New York Central
control might later on be disclosed in that
instance. Trading in these stocks was very
active at the opening and the declines in
the general market were also fairly ami
mated. The granger shares reflected pres
sure from the start on renewed reports of
unfavorable market conditions in the
Northwest.
Louisville and Nashville was stronger on
the expectation of an advance in the divi-
dend rate and Southern Railway was firm.
Trading in the industrial quarter was fair
ly active with sharp opening prices in
Tennessee Coal and Iron, Sugar Refining,
and Anaconda mining. The opening ad-
vances in all these stocks were materially
shaded in the subsequent dealings when
heavy profit realizing sales were noted
throughout the market
The London prices for American stocks
showed general advances, and the arbi-
TRACE houses had buying orders in this

police say, had been drinking, amused
himself by throwing live frogs, to which
strings had been tied, into the crowd on
the boat, and refused to stop when told to
do SO. A fight followed, and in 1t Kelly
received the blow which caused his death

AS announced exclusively in The Tines
this morning, there has been arranged a
practical consolidation of the Pennsylva-
mia and the New York Central, as far as
the working of those systems in entire
! harmony is concerned. The Vanierbi is
have acquired immense holdings of z, nm
Sylvania stock. and President Cassatt of
the Pennsylvania, will become a director
of the Central. This immense deal is the
New York Central coup that has been
foreshadowed in this column several times
recently. With the Boston and Al bany
deal il forms probably the most remark
able piece of railroad organization work
that the world has ever seen. Its import
ance is so far-reaching that the Street has
hardly begun 10 grasp il. And yet il is
said that the end of the Vanderbilt plans
has not been reached by long way. Per-
haps the next one that will be announc ed
will be the acquisition of the Manhattan
l. road, though as yet there has been no
official statement regarding this move. 1t
viii be remembered that this scheme for
the acquisition of the Manhattan and the
running OF Central trains into the heart
OF New York city has been discussed in
this column heretofore.
All three of the stocks mentioned above
were particularly buoyant this morning,
the close of last night. They declined with
the remainder OF the market after the
hrst few quotations, but again rallied
sharply before noon. Manhattan especially
seemed destined to have large advance.
Manhattan went TO l21 before IL o'clock,
which is the highest price for the stock
for many weeks. There was excellent in
side buying. which, apparently, was largely
for the Vanderbilt account.
Wheat was weak again this morning
declining half a cent in the first two hours
of the day. This fact did not prevent
sharp further decline in the grangers, how
ever. ST. Paul went to l31 l-8, Rock ISL
and to 116 3-S, and Burlington to the
neighborhood of 136. Atchison also was
sold sharply. Before noon there was a
rally in the entire group, which many be-
lieved marked the end of the decline. 1t
is thought probable, however. as has been
stated heretofore. that the grangers may
be somewhat neglected for few days now
after their large advances, while other
portions Of the list are taken up.
Tennessee Coal and Iron was advanced
TO SIS at the opening this morning, which
is the high price mark OF the year. From
this level there was a decline of a point,
followed later by rally. The Steel stocks
were weak al the opening.
Sugar opened at 100 and declined point
and half, after which it rallied somewhat.
Opinion is much divided as TO the prob
able future course of the stock. but there
are many who believe that il is TO have
great advance.
The tip was given out quietly this morn
ing to continue the purchase of American
Tobacco for price considerably above par.
