FINDINGS SET ASIDE,

Upon the recommendation of Commits
sioner Wight, who has immediate charge
of the fire department, the charge of be-
ing under the influence of liquor, prefer
red against Engineer James Dreamer of
No Engine Company, has been dis
missed II appears, from the testimony in
the case, that while Foreman Smith was
unable to say Of his personal knowledge
charge which Dreamer denied, although he
admitted drinking some beer at dinner, he
was found guilty by Trial officer Pugh,
Smith and Dreamer being the only wat
nesses heard. Chief PARIS. in approving
the finding, recommended that Dreamer be

that he would abstain from the use of in

Of the alleged offenSe would result in his
summary removal.
In making mis- recommendation TO his as
sociates Mir. Wight said: Il have carefully
considered the case of Fireman Dreamer
and have had d personal interview with
him l am convinced that this was not
case of intoXcation-that what appeared
to he the result of drinking was more
properly an accident that happened TO

John A. Grow and Algernon Granville
on Trial.
INDICTED FOR VIOLATING STATUTES
Opening Addresses by the Attorneys
in the Case.
INTRODUCTION OF TESTIMONY

The trial of John A. Grow and Aigernon
Granville indicted for violating section $3.50
of the Revised Statutes of the United
States. was begun today before Justice
Bradley and a jury in Criminal Court No.
2. Attorney Campbell Darlington repre-
sents Granville and Attorneys John A.
Grow. ST., and J. p. Campbell appear for
Grow. Assistant District Attorney Gould is
conducting the case for the government
In outlining the case to the jury Assist
ant District Attorney Gould stated that
druggist of this city, Henry Evans, en-
gagged in business on F street between 9th
and 10th streets, is in good financial stand
ing. This the defendants were aware of,
and assumed the name of Henry Evans,
NJ D. They rented a store, according to the
prosecuting attorney, at 1119 It'll street,
and correspondent with out-of-town dealers
in druggists supplies on letter paper head
ed with the name of Henry Evans. They
gave orders for goods, and the supplying
dealers, after looking up the name of
Henry Evans, druggist. of this city in
commercial directories, and learning that
he was in good financial standing. would
ship the articles ordered. The defendants,
according to MIR. Gould received the goods
took them to New York or elsewhere and
disposed of them at prices below the mar
ket rates. The scheme, SO it was stated.
was detected by the postal authorities. and
the defendants placed under arrest. The
government expected to show that the
same scheme had been operated in other
cities by the defendants, the prosecuting
attorney said in closing.
Statement for the Defense.
Attorney Darlington, in behalf of Gran
vile, stated % the jury that his client came
here in good faith to engage in legitimate
business He had no idea of impersonating
the street druggist. In fact, said the at
torney, 1t would be shown that there are
at least five residents of this city bearing
the name of Henry Evans. Then, too, the
firm name used by the defendants was
Henry Evans MD. They used name diff
ferent from that of the F street druggist.
their store was a different street and
they operated under such circumstances,
it was explained, that they could not pos
sibly be mistaken by any sensible person
for the Henry Evans transactlng the drug
business on f street. Attorney Darlington
declared that the defendants were placed
under arrest not because any offense had
been committed. but on the possibility that
d crime was contemplated.
Counsel for Grow reserved their opening.
and the Introduction of testimony then be-
gan.
At a late hour this afternoon the govern
ment had not concluded it's case. The trial
will be continued tomorrow.

Strong Tone and Upward Tendency
in Stocks Today.
GOOD DEMAND FOR INDUSfRIkLS
The Railway Investment Stocks
Bought in Good Amounts.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, May 16-A good investment
inquiry in both the bond and stock markets
gave very steady undertone 10 the specu-
lative list this morning. Commission houses
had fair amount OF buying orders and
traders were disposed to reljpqush their
depressing tactics and buy the active issues
for time.
The entire market showed a healthy tone
and was given excellent support OF a semi
investment character throughout the day.
The railroad list was advanced under a
good demand, and In some Instances the
improvement was quite substantial. Cen
trail and Southern Pacific were bought for
both accounts, but there was some evidence
of a desire to accumulate stock at present
prices.
The higher priced issues and thu various
preferred stocks were taken up by the more
conservative houses. and I'm every instance
the new levels were retained with little ef-
fort
The greatest activity and the best results
were recorded in the specialties of the in
dustrial department. American Tobacco
was advanced per cent by buying for
both accounts. and Sugar showed some evil
dences Of new strength of the same mixed
character.
Peoples Gas was in especially good de-
mand and made sharp advance before
the buying was in any way diminished.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit moved up in SYM
pathy with its neighbors, the extra session
to consider the new franchise bill helping
all the local railway properties. The steel
stocks were in better demand than for sew
eral days, and, like the rest Of the list.
showed ability to hold their improve
ment
The best opinion is that the market has
had the shock necessary to restore normal
conditions, and the dread OF an impend-
ing collapse has disappeared for the pres
ent. There is no hurry to buy, and there
is no inducement to sell. Traders Will in
all likelihood fill in the dull periods by trad
ing for small profits, and a season Of in
action without material depression is likely
to result
Later on the abundance of money may
stimulate an active and higher market.
With money rates at and 3la per cent Il
is readily seen that fundamental conditions
outside of Wall street have not prompted
declines The Wholesale demands for in
creased margins at the end of last week
have been met and brokers and clients
alike are protected at the lowest levels of
the sea son.
resources are enormous, and under some
new leader there is much to be developed
from the present market. There is an air
Of general expectancy among the more ex-
perienced interests. and temporary low
levels are likely to develop a willing de-
mand from non-professional sources
