by Prof. Skinner, and his modern ideas
and rich experience threw much OF
value and interest into these subjects,

PLEADS GUILTY.
Because of Circumstances Personal
Bonds Were Taken.

Fritz Reuter-. who keeps a saloon and
hotel at ~ street and Pennsylvania avenue,
pleaded guilty in the Police Court this
morning to a charge of violating the fish
law. Deputy Game Warden Zeller was the
complaining witness in the case. He found
two bass on exhibition in refrigerator in
front of the defendants place.
1t was explained to the court that the
fish were bought during the open season
and put in the refrigerator where they
could be seen under the glass Mr. Reuter-.
the court was told, was ignorant of the
law, and the complainant said he thought
Mr.. Reuter- had no intention of violating its
provisions.
Judge Scott told the defendant that the
law in question is an important one and
should be enforced. If the fish are dragged
out of the river during the spawning sea-
son, the Judge said, the time will come
when there will be no fish left.
Because of the circumstances and the
recommendation of the warden and Prose-
cutting Attorney Mullowny, the court ac-
cepted Mr.. Reuters personal bonds.

WORK OF INCENDIARY.
Late Developments Regarding Fire
in Andrews Mansion.

NEW YORK, April s.-Despite reticence
on the part of the police, facts became
public today which make it appear that the
fire which yesterday destroyed thirteen
persons was of incendiary origin. 1t trans
pired that a few hours before the flames
were seen a policeman was sent for from
the Andrews house, and was mysteriously
dismissed by a servant, who said he was
not wanted. 90. ....
Letters threatening the lives of the An
drews family and the children Of Mrs. st.
John were found. 1t is believed that the
motive for incendiarism was reyenge. and
that the affair arose out Of quarref
among the servants. 49,.
Foley, the butler in the Andrews family,
is under surveillance, and the police are
hard at work investigating the clues, which
chiefly rest upon the anonymous letters.
Mary Flanagan, the dead maid servant,
seems to have been a central figure in this
alleged plot, and the chief object Of the
supposed perpetrators hate.

FINANCE AND TRADE
Better Tone to the New York
Stock Market.
ADVANCE IN STANDARD SHARES
Industrial List Still in State Of
Confusion.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
peciai Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, April s.-opening transas-
tions in today's stock market were more
nearly normal than is usually the case
after such radical readjustmant as that
recorded yesterday. The buying by London
on yesterdays decline and the advances in
standard American railway shares at that
center this morning brings a wholesome
factor in the situation. Locally, there il a
disposition 10 curtaIl risks and to increase
margins, a combination certain to produce
desirable results.
Stocks are being bought and paid for in
greater quantity than heretofore and
brokers can reduce their liabilities to the
banks in consequence. A noticeable and sig
nihcant feature of yesterdays attack was
that the adverse arguments only applied to
the new or untried stocks. No deterrent
comment was heard on the subject OF the
standard shares, and no selling of them
was recorded except on the theory that a
sympathetic decline would follow the wild
market for the industrials.
The buying OF the railway list was good
at all times, and should continue so during
the reaetionary periods of the next few
days.
The proportions of the decline and en-
forced liquidation of the last forty-eight
hours have been liberal. but the rallies from
tie punt ol ueHlOfailZauOn nave Deen Snarp
and substantial.
A feyerish condition of the market may
be expected during the first half of the
week, and some falling off i'm the volume of
business would not be surprising. The
banks have Disseminated against collat-
erals, and for the future the scrutiny OF
securities should begin with the purchaser.
This demand for value as a condition
precedent to purchasing need not exclude
all of the so-called industrials This de-
partment of the market is for the moment
in confusion, but the strictIres OF the last
fortnight have not applied to all properties.
although, usual in the time of action,
the good had to suffer with the company
they had been keeping.
The financial atmosphere is clearer for
the weeks developments. and a slow and
meritorious recovery should follow. Crop
reports will be an important factor early in
the week and may share the prominence OF
motive with the money market. As to
the latter, todays statement of averages
was generally construed 10 be slightly
favorable.
The reserve holdings decreased only S476,-
C25, and the decres Sc in lawful money was
about 81 10000. The loans show a de-
crease of S1,241, 700. and this without re-
fectng yesterdays liquidation. Deposits
have fallen off about 81 1852 co. as was TO
have been expected. The market rallied
on the publication of this statement but
became irregular and professional toward
the close. The room was disposed to
tighten risks over the first of the week,
tut there is no pronounced belief in a new
low level.
