BULLS AND BEARS.
An Early Afternoon Rally on the
Shorts.
But the Apparent Strength Of The Market
Was Not Maintained.
Especial 10 the NeMsl

Wall Street, June 1.-THE market
was decidedly irregular today. although
showing strength which may be attri-
buted to early public selling.
The shorts in Sugar suffered a run
up of more than four points, that err
ratio stock having fallen To below 1is
OF nearly selling and then rising nimbly
10 1853. The fluctuations seemed to be
attributed To the utterances OF M.
HaNemeyer, who is testifying before
the trust investigation commission. Ac-
cording TO the teiegraphed reports of
his words and incidentally according
To the movement in Sugar the big trust
Is suffering from no competition worth
speaking OF and can continue TO pay it's
- per cent. dividend till the crack OF
doom. All this is very likely true. hat
IL does not alter the fact that Sugar
certificates are quite as liable to fall
as TO rise al any time.
This morning, however. Sugar held
strong after an early break While
Mr.. Havemeyer talked before the COM
mission the inside Sugar brokers
whooped up his stock and il bore quite
a different aspect In the early after
noon from the gloomy view that some
people seemed TO have of il i'm the OPEN
ing hours.
The other stocks on the list We're
dealt in only sparingly. They all
showed gains OF from one point TO three
according 10 the public interest they
respectively excited. Brooklyn Transit
climbed back TO 11s and other stocks
recovered more or less OF what they
lost yesterday afternoon. But there
was general weakening all through
the list later though no new losses were
made.

SUNK IN COLLISION.
Macedonia Run Down by The Hamilton
OF Long Branch.
Passengers and Crew Rescued but Saved
None Of Their Property

New York tlme li,rAThe Old Dornm.
ion steamship Hamilton. which sailed
from New York yesterday 10 Norfolw
and Newport News, ran into the steam
ship Macedonia OF Long Branch. and
il is supposed that the Macedonia sub
sequently sank.
Three passengers and 10 of the crew
were saved and brought TO this port
A dense fog had prevailed over the
lower bay and along the coast since |
this morning with intervals OF clear
ing which permitted a number of ves-
sells TO proceed TO sea. Taking advan-
tage OF one of these clear spells the
Hamilton. Capt Dole. sailed.
The vessel was proceeding south with
large number OF passengers. many ~
whom were delegates TO railroad con-
Vention at Old Point Comfort AT 5:55.
while proceeding al reduced speed and
sounding her whistle. the Hamilton
suddenly ran into the Macedonia, strik-
ing her on the starboard side abaft the
engine and cutting her hull about II
feet.
Everything on board both vessels
was in confusion as the shock was ter
rifle, but order was soon restored on
board the Hamilton. and the crew were
soon AT their quarters.
The Macedonia's crew got out their
boats as the disabled vessel drifted
away from The Hamilton Those taken
on boa,d were three passengers. capt.
Moses Walton, Il. $. ", quartermaster;
Bernard T. Hansen and A. l.. Elderly,
and 10 OF the crew.
One boat was lost i'm the fog. This
contained Cat. Kuffahl. three passen-
gers. Charles w. Moss, T.. w Wright
and Herman Brandt, and nine OF the
crew
After sounding her whistle for a long
time and the boat not appearing Capt.
Dole decided to return to port. as his
vessel was seriously damaged.
The last seen OF the Macedonia she
was rolling in the water and was evil
IDENTIFY in sinking condition.
The water was smooth and as the
collision occurred a short distance off
Long Branch, il is supposed that tho
missing boat attempted to make the
land on the New Jersey coast.
The Macedonia was chartered YES
sci i'm the service of the Ward line and
flew the German flag. She sailed from
ManZanillo May 2S and Cienfuegos
June with six passengers and a full
cargo OF sugar. The Hamilton is the
latest addition TO the Old Dominion's
fleet of coastwise steamers. She COM
menced running with the opening OF
the present Z aason.

kuffahl says that after the Hamilton
became clear of the Macedonia and see

her and endeavored to beach her. but
she suddenly took lurch and sank i'm

south OF the Scotland lightship and a

MISCELLANEOUS,
ROSS CLAIMS $4,000.
One Of His Bargas Sunk and Others
Were Driven Ashore.
Merchants and Miners Steamship Co De-
fendant---Cass. Now on Trial.

In the United States district court.
this morning, before Judge Brown. was
heard the case of II. Sanford Ross, of
New York against the Merchants and
Miners Steamship company. This Is
libel for damage caused by a collision
down the Providence river, and dam
ages are placed at $4,000.
The complainant states that in Sep
tember, 1897, he made a contract with
the United States government TO dredge
Providence harbor, and in order to car
ry on the work had number OF boats
and barges in use, He contends that
on September 3, 1897. he had moorlng
Pomham light, on the west side of
the bay. and four barges were moored
there properly and securely. The claim
is made that the steamer Chatham OF
the defendant corporation came down
the river at 10:30 O'Clock ON the same
evening. and collided with these barges.
the result being that one barge was
sunk and two were driven ashore OF the
east side OF the river.
The defendants claim thatthe barges
were not properly moored. but We're
strung out across the channel and that
owing to the darkness. IL was impos-
sible TO see the instructions until IL
was too late to avoid the collision. The
defendants claimed that had the barges
been properly moored no accident would
have occurred. There are quite num-
ber of witnesses on both sides. many
of them being well known river steam
boat captains and plots.
The case is still pending. and will
probably not be completed until some
time tomorrow. Benedict a. Benedict,
of New York. and Dexter II. Potter. ap-
pear for the complainant. and Daniel
II. Hayne. OF Baltimore. and Archibald
&. MattesOn. for the defendants.

eration for the transfer of the property

and other valuable consideration" Mr..
jerks cited decision OF the United
States Supreme Court I'm 1898 To the ef
feet that verbal agreement made in
regard to the assumption OF q mort
gage might be proved. Another case
was quoted that the contract Of the as
supmtien of payment OF a mortgage

deed and did not wary its provisions.
Mr.. Pierce argued the cases cited We're
equity cases and there was no proof i'm
writing OF any agreement in writing
other than the deed.
Judge Wilbur said he did not sec how
Mrs Bliss could be held on the notes
as a holder OF then. His Honor. though.
