MRS. MARY C. CARROLL DEAD.
The second Wife of Former Cover
nor Carroll. of Maryland

Mrs. Mary Carter Carroll died yesterday
morning at her late residence. 1893 y
Street northwest, after a continued Illness
of more than four years. Requiem mass
will be sung over the remains at ST. Mat
thew's Church Friday morning at 10: 80
O'Clock, after which the body will be taken
TO Bonnie Brae Cemetery, Baltimore.
The deceased was the second wife of
former Governor John Lee Carroll, of
Maryland. and, until Illness made her an
invalid she was very prominent in the
social life of this city and Newport, R. /.
She was the daughter of Judge Thompson,
of Staunton, Va, one of the most promi-
nent members of the Virginia bar, and was
born on the Thompson estate, Fairy
Hill, which is near Staunton.
For several years Miss Thompson lived
in Paris with her sister. Mrs. Charles
Carroll, during which time she journeyed
TO Rome and became a convert to the
Catholic Church. She returned to this
country in 1877 to become the wife of John
Lee Carroll then Governor of Maryland
The marriage was performed in the Cathe-
dral at Baltimore by Rev. Father Thomas
Lee, a first cousin 10 Governor Carroll and
now pastor OF ST. Matthews Church of
this city. From that time Governor and
Mrs. Carroll spent their winters in this
city and their summers either at Newport
R. l.. or at the old Carroll estate at Car
rollton. All her life Mrs. Carroll was dis
tinguished for her great beauty and sweet
temper

4 Halt in the Investigation.

II was the general belief before Con-
gress adjourned that Senator Wellington.
Chairman OF the Senate subcommittee OF
the Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, charged with making an inves-
tigaton into the methods of construction
and the fitness of material used in the new
city postofiice, would ask permission OF the
Senate to pursue the investigation until
the assembling of the next Congress. One
hearing only has been held by the commit
tee. and although several witnesses were
on hand, the only one permitted to testify
was Mr.. Steward, former Superintendent OF
Construction.
This meeting was held behind closed
doors, and since its adjournment no further
steps seem to have been taken in the mat
ter. Comments heard on the failure of
the Maryland Senator TO properly follow
this matter up are not of the most hatter-
ing character.

PROFESSIONALS DO
THE BULK OF TRADING
A Marked Reversal of Specu.
lative Attitude.
The Technical Conditions of the
Market Unchanged.
General StaGnation Results in the
Li.htcst Volume of Business
Transacted in Weeks.

New York, March 7.-While the general
drift of prices in the days stock market
was in the opposite direction 10 that of
yesterday in other respects the. trading OF
the two days had several, points in COM
mon. The most salient point of differ
ence was the reversal of speculative at
titude by the professional board room
traders. The days developments com
prised nothing of themselves to account
for the fact that the sellers of yesterday
should have been buyers today, except
that for the time at least the short selling
had outstripped the actual liquidation.
There was no essential change in money
market conditions, but there was appar-
emily better recognition of the transient
nature of the current stringency. if it may
be so dignified, and when spectators ac-
custom themselves TO conditions they gen
orally cease TO devote much attention to
them. AS noted, however. the technical
conditions of the market so far as out
side influences may be considered. were
unchanged. The trading was light in vol
ume and was largely professional, with
conditions normal enough in a between
sessions market.
Prices We're generally lower at the open
ing than at yesterdays close. but the
trading soon disclosed the fact that the
pressure was almost wholly professional.
That circumstance was seemingly the
cause for the less aggressive attitude of
the professional element ON the short side
of the account. After the opening dealings
the market became almost stagnant and
the total transactions footed up the small
est aggregate of long time for full
business day. At the same time yester-
days moderate outside liquidation was
missing and, on the contrary, the extent
OF the reaction In the general market
seemed to have induced more outside buy
ing.
London's disposition toward the local
market was not an appreciable influence in
any way, the quotations and the dealings
from that quarter being ignored. The re-
coveries on the market were general with
the granger shares. the Atchisons and
anthracite coal shares conspicuous in
respect of activity. Among the speciaties
pronounced price improvements took place
in Pacific Mail. Tennessee Coal and Iron.
and Chicago Terminal issues
The industrial stocks were not conspic-
uous in the days dealings, notwithstand-
ing the general interest taken in the divi-
dend OF Sugar Refining tomorrow. Sugar
Refining was generally steady, the demand
for the stock being clearly based upon the
common expectation that the usual divi-
dend would be declared.
The general market closed firm at or
about the best figures of the day.

TWICE APPROPRIATED.
The Same Item for S3.o0O.OOO APP
pears In Two Bills.

An appropriation of 100000 in the
General Deficiency bill has aroused en-
quiry as TO its purpose II is an item un-
der the War Department expenditures, and
is couched in exactly the same terms as
that for the same amount in the Urgent
Deficiency bill of January last. the pur-
pose of which was TO pay OFF the Cuban
army and secure their disarmament and
disappearance as an organized force.
The item in the General Deficiency bill
was inserted in the Senate, and agreed
10 by the House Conferees without a staie-
ment on the floor of the reasons for do
ing so. No estimate or letter formed the
basis of the appropriation as is customary,
but from what can be learned regarding
it, which information is unofficial it was
inserted in the bill by the Senate Com
mittee on Appropriations after visit
from Secretary Alger and Adjutant Gen
eral Corbin.
When the same item was inserted in the
Urgent Deficiency bill in January thzre
was some talk of coupling with it pfo-
viso that the money should be reimbursed
to the United States from the Cuban rev.
enues But the probability of securing
anything from that source at that time
was doubtful and the Committee on Ap-
propriations said that if there were any
reasons for making a deficiency appro-
priation for the War Department 1t had
better be made and the future looked to
for providing means for its reimburse
ment So the appropriation was made
without conditions.
From what can be learned. Secretary
Alger and General Corbin expressed the
opinion that the War Department ought
not TO be wholly deprived of the use OF
the three millions cor military purposes,
and as the first three millions had been
taken or would be for the Cuban army,
the sum should be reappropriated for the
department, and it was done. But nobody
seems to know exactly what is TO be done
with il.
The times., 1899-03-08

A somewhat better feeling pervaded the
stock market yesterday afternoon, and
there was fairly good buying of many
stocks. Prices. after hanging around the
low prices nearly all day, closed with good
gains The return to the low rates for call
money probably had as much as anything
else to do with the change of sentiment.
During the afternoon > IL was the ruling
rate, and plenty seemed available. II is
realized that this is "A much more logical
condition than the higher rates of last
week and Monday, and the street is begin
ming TO believe that permanent high rates
are out of the question. Good buying of
the coalers also perhaps had something of
an effect on the general list. Careful OBJ
servers do not believe that this small bulge
is of any real or permanent Importance.
Prices. they argue, may advance a point
or two further and perhaps for two or
three days, but there are no indications
that higher level is as yet desirable or
likely. In other words. the prediction is
still that a traders market will continue
The other thing Is possible, if. for in
stance, the St Paul directors should de-
clare Il & per cent. dividend rate, or ii some
sudden sharp break should induce the lead
ers to get under the market in force.
Pennsylvania Railway seems likely to be
one of the first stocks TO advance when
confidence returns TO the speculative pub
lie. The report of the company for the
past year has received most careful con-
sideraton from experts. and il is safe to
say that all of them regard it as highly
satisfactory. The net earnings of the com
pany were over 10000 000. The interest
received from the immense holdings Of the
company in the stocks of other railroads as
Investments was nearly s., 900 600, or more
than the entire interest payable on the
bonded Indebtedness of the company it
self which was a little over 81, 900 000. In
addition to the payment of the operating
expenses and all charges, interest on
funded debt, and dividend of per cent
on the stock. the company put half mill
ion dollars into the sinking fund trans
ferred nearly two millions TO an eXtraor-
dinary expenditure fund for large improve
ments of various kinds under contempla
tiun, and had remaining nearly "A million
dollars for profit and loss account. The
company now has on hand in addition to
the SLY 900. 900 worth of bonds of other
roads. cash $4,000. GOO and sinking, trust,
and insurance funds, $4,000. GOO. The
ability of the company to pay per cent
dividends instead of per cent is not to be
questioned. Whether there is any inten-
ton to do so or to give to the stockhold-
ers IN any shape n greater part of the
profits of the company is doubted by many.

LABOR IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Few Strikes End Successfully in the
BAY state.

The labor conditions in Massachusetts
were discussed yesterday before the Indus
trial Commission by Rufus W. Wade, of
Boston, chief of the Massachusetts district
police, and who has had experience in ad
ministering the factory laws of that State
for the past twenty years
The following members of the Commits
sion were present at the hearing: Former
Senator Lee Mantle. Andrew L. Harris, S.
y. ID. North, Ellison A. Smyth, John NJ.
Farquhar. Thomas W. Phillips Charles ].
Harris. NJ. d. Rachford. and J. l.. Kennedy
Mr.. Wade discussed the sweat shop sys-
TEN, female and child labor, the Canadian
labor element in the State, laws for the
payment of wages, and also those govern
ing sanitary and personal safety matters.
pronouncng the latter to be as nearly per-
feet as it was possible to make them. 1t
was brought out that the strictness of the
Massachusetts labor laws had been the
cause of many manufacturers leaving the
State.
Very few strikes had ever been success
ful in Massachusetts, and in such cases
Mr.. Wade said ii was the French Canadi-
ans who came in and took the places of the
strikers. This element, however. was
transient and soon drifted out of the State.
The payment Of wages by store orders had
almost entirely ceased. and the weekly sys-
TEN, which was matter of law in that
State, had proved success.
Compared with conditions of twenty five
years ago, Mr.. Wade pronounced the labor
of today easy and comfortable. The mini
mum age for the employment of children
was fourteen years, which had been grad
ualiy raised from eight. Night schools
were compulsory in towns of 10000 inhab-
itants, and the educational facilities were
pronounced to be satisfactory except in the
larger cities, where more buildings were
constantly being called for.
The sweat shop system. which had taken
hold in Boston several years ago, had
been entirely eradicated. Daniel OLeary.

The District Commissioners have ap-

case OF Policeman ]. ID. Bassford, who was
tried February % for neglect Of duty:
This case is similar TO one or two 9TH
ers where there were derelictions during

posed to give the accused the benefit of the
doubt, so far as intentional violation of
the regulations is concerned, although
technically guilty. except that he be re-
quired to provide himself with another
watch, which will not vary in time with
the changes Of the weather, and he should
be warned that when he makes excuses TO
his lieutenant he should be careful about
