STOCK MARKET MORE CALM.
London Buyers Scared ana New York
NisfbIy Affected.

New York, Jan. 24.-Although the cur
rent dealings in the stock market have at
tained dimensions in proportions to which
the foreign dealings here are really of
small account, their disposition, neverthe
less, invariably engages the attention of
speculators in stocks. When these latter
came this morning to scan the. London
prices for American stocks they found
that the London market was uniformly
below the local closing figures of yesterday
and that the declines there extended IN the
instance of New York Central 10 over two
points. Declines of one point and over
were common. To some extent the weak
ness of the London market for American
stocks was taken as a cue by local specu-
iators. For the most part the fact that
the current market is nothing more than
reflection of the country's active trade
and the cheapness of money is overlooked
or forgotten by spectators. who are for
ever trying to find some extraneous reason
for the extraordinary public interest in
the market. At matter of fact apart
from these circumstances the market sit
uation as a whole is entirely featureless
and it is well that 1t is so. The current
activity in the market is wholly justified
by the unique investment situation and as
matters stand the rise in prices will not
finally eliminate until dividend paying
securities have reached level where their
return to their holders has been cut down
to the average basis at which money can
otherwise be proftably employed. With
this general principle in mind spectators
and investors may base their operations
in the particular stocks which they may
favor without regard TO what London may
be doing in the market or without seek
ing further explanations of the current
bull market.
The general market was. however.
much more orderly affair than it was yes
terday. The most pronounced declines were
in New York Central and the Union Pacific
shares. which to some extent were in sym
pathy with their course in London. In
both markets sales of those stocks were
doubtless induced by the denials of the
rumored exchange of New York Central
collateral trust bonds for the Union Pacific
stocks An examination of the mortgage
under which the Lake Shore transaction
was affected would have dispelled ideas
that a similar step was meditated in the
case Of the Union Pacific and the North
western companies. Still the same result
may be reached through other means and
the Street clings with persistence, and not
wholly without evidence, TO the notion of a
through Vanderbilt line from the Atlantic
TO the Pacific. The correction of these re-
ports, however, together with the lack of
immediate confirmation of rumored devel-
opments in Manhattan Railway, deprived
the speculative imagination of two power
full incentives which have heretofore been
generally effective. The only noteworthy
feature of the days situation was further
advance in wheat. There were distinct
evidences of recovery in many quarters of
the market in the final dealings

Mr.. Macomber, who resides at Quincy Street.
SOmeryille Dist, Boston, had been afflicted with
a deep-seated structure close TO the bladder. IL
was tight and irritable that for hours he would
strain In his endeayor to pass his water, and the
suffering which he endured Is impossible for one
to describe. During one of these severe attacks
Mr.. Macomber called physician To draw the
water. He was ordered to OF the large hos
pitals In Boston for operation, but as he had five
years previously undergone operation in the
same hospital, he declined to again submit to
such torture.
About this time he heard of the famous Solvent

Albany, n. Y, Jan. 24.-Prize fights in
the Lenox Club of New York City will
be prohibited if a bill which Assemblyman
Lewis, of Rochester, introduced today be-
comes law. This measure virtually re-
peals the Horton law, which legalizes
sparring exhibitions in club houses leased
for at least year by an Incorporated ath-
letic association. The Horton law provid-
ed that the provisions of section ass OF the
Penal Code, which prohibited prize-tight-
ing or boxing exhibitions. should not ap-
ply to those held in the club house of an
Incorporated athletic association.
Mr.. Lewis's bill sevives the provisions
of that section of the code and applies
them TO athletic associations incorporated
under the Horton law, as well as to others.

Two Moundsville Boys Injured Near
That Place Yesterday, While Try
ing to Jump from Swiftly Moving
Train.

1t is the dangerous custom almost
every Sunday for boys and young men
OF Moundsville to run out on B. & o.
freight trains short distances, return
Ing the same day. Freight brakemen
and conductors on that section of the
division find it difficult to enforce the
rules regarding the matter.
Yesterday two boys-Melvin Knight
Ter and William Hickman, who reside
in the First ward of Moundsville, in
returning about 4 p. m. from short
run out the road, attempted to jump
off a freight train near the second
bridge east of the station, while it was
moving at the rate of about 20 miles
an hour. AS result, both boys were
thrown forcibly to the ground and
more or less injured.
Hickman was badly cut about the
face and had his nose broken. He
was slightly stunned, but was able to
reach his home. Knightler was rem
dered totally unconscious. He was
picked up and carried to the home of a
Mr.. Bennett, who lives nearby. At a
late hour last night he was in the same
condition. 1t is impossible as yet to
tell what the extent of his injuries are,
but it is fear they may prove fatal.

ATTORNEY SMITH DEAD.
An Aged and Highly Respected Resident
of Bellaire Expired Yesterday.

of Beliaire Expired Yesterday.
Attorney Joseph B. Smith died yes
terday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at his
residence on North Belmont street in
Bellaire, after an illness of malarial
fever, covering a period of about four
weeks. Mr.. Smith was in the seventy
third year of his age, and the news of
his demise will be learned with a deep
sense of regret by his many relatives
and friends.
He was an able lawyer and his ca
reer in the profession was quite a sue
cessful one. He was one of the oldest
residents in Bellaire, having resided
in that city for the past forty-seven
years. Attorney Smith came to Bel
laire in 1852, and was therefore an OBJ
server of the gradual growth of the city
from a mere village to it's present
size. He is survived by a widow, his
second wife, and three sons and one
daughter, all of whom are grown. The
surviving children are Miss Ledria
Smith, of Bellaire; Mr.. Uly Smith, of
Cleveland, Ohio; Mr. Hartwell Smith,
of Nebraska, and Mr.. Will Smith, OF
Wheeling.
The funeral will take place to-mor-
row afternoon at two o'clock from the
late residence, and will be conducted
by Rev. R. S. Coffey, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church. The remains
will be buried at Rose Hill cemetery.
