THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, May 1S-Today ended on
the stock exchange with the bears APP
parently unopposed and in complete
possession of the market. They made
a fierce attack on prices along the
whole line in the final hour after evil
.dences of realizing at various points in
the list had become quite palpable.
The large volume Of profit-taking
sales came upon the market after quite
an extended list of railroad stocks had
been taken in hand and pushed up to
a decidedly higher level. This move
ment in the railroads continued after
the leading specialties had begun 10 go
down. This looked very like shifting
of speculation by taking out profit from
the specialties and putting them into
railroads But the railroad list sue
cumbed to the late attack many stocks
losing between l and points, and Bur-
lington dropping ~ below the high
point of the day Practically all the
gains in the railroads were wiped out,
though small advances remained in
very few cases. Prices were marked
up at the opening to accommodate the
outside public who were coming in to
buy after yesterdays notable advances.
The demand from that source was soon
satisfied and prices yielded.
But the market fell into dullness at
the decline. Losses were sharpest of
course, in those stocks which have been
rushed up during the last few days
The railroads showed a pretty good re-
strong, touching ia. Minneapolis, St
Paul and Sault Ste Marie, which had
not moved in a long time, became brisk
ly active, the common stock rising lO12
and the preferred 71s. AS the day pro-
crossed, a large demand sprang up for
Atchison preferred, the Changers, I'm
ion and Northern Pacific and other
standard railroad stocks. Very heavy
blocks of Atchison preferred were ta-
ken on the rise, and the price in
number Of cases advanced over a
point.
Anaconda Mining also enjoyed a gain
of go points It was under cover of
this movement in the railways that the
realizing Of profits in the specialties
was in progress.
Nearly all the Flower speciaIties. Su
gar and Tobacco, began to sag under
the weight of sales.
In the fierce attack which the bears
were thus encouraged to make on the
market, Sugar and Metropolitan Street
Railway dropped over points, Brook
Ign Transit AZ. and number of other
specialties points or over Ihere was
a momentary rally, but prices plunged
downward again. and the closing was
very weak and unsettled, Sugar alone
rallying over a point on the taking Of
bear profits, but the prices generally
ending at the lowest Of the day.
There was nothing in the general
news Of the day which seemed to in
fiuence the trading, unless it might be
a further hardening in the rate of ex-
change, which continues to rise and is
near the gold import point, in spite Of
the apparent abundance Of funds both
here and in the interior. There was
no diminution in the heavy demand for
the new bond issues Of some Of the rail-
roads, notably the Central Pacific reor-
ganization issues. Prices Of railroad

Further Good Gains
in Thursdays
Stock Market.
UP MOVE IN COPPER
The Boston Trading Broad
ems All Round-News
and Notes.

The Boston stock market increased in
buoyancy yesterday and made further
substantial gains, particularly in the
copper shares.
Much talk still is heard about the raj
Iy being manipulated and existing
mainly among traders, but as mat
ter of fact, even If this is so, there is
ample warrant for it. A twelve points
average decline in the Wall street mar
ket from the years highest was alto
gether too much; if there had been an
over bought condition it gave place to
an oversold one. Wall street is apt to
go to extremes; that is what makes
markets. If anyone could agree to q
nicely as to the relative bearing of
values of every development, there
would be little left in the speculation.
There is no more talk of big boom,
but there is more idea of a continuance
of buoyancy than was the case a week
ago. Matters have adjusted themselves
well, and men look on the bright side
again.
Trading in Boston was broad yester-

when it is considered that this is the
fourth day of improvement in the mar
ket. The general feeling on the street
is becoming as bullish as ever on the
copper stocks; Amalganlated was up
to l01A on the curb, and the word is
passed that one more good squirt in
coppers is coming before warm wealth

TENT STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
Campers Rendered Unconscious by
an Electric Holt.

Dover, y. j., July IA tent erected by
four young men on one Of the islands in
Lake Hopateong for camping purposes was
struck by lightning Wednesday afternoon,
and the four were rendered unconscious.
Had it not been that their colored cook
was near they might have burned TO death,
as the tent and their clothing took fire.
The young men were Roy Madison, JOS
eph Garrabrandt, Everett Denton, and
Frank Huber. of Bloomfield. n. J. Their
cook and attendant was Theron Williams.
1t was the intention OF the party TO remain
in camp for several weeks.
All of them worked hard yesterday to get
the tent up and their belongings inside.
as il was threatening to rain. They nm
ished their work while the first drops Of
rain were falling and then the four crawl
ed under the tent while the cook went to
the lake TO get pail of water. Williams
was returning. when there was flash OF
lightning and the tent seemed to be
abIaze He was many yards away but
felt the shock He ran to the tent and
found it torn in two pieces and IN flames.
Under it lay the four young men. uneou-
scious. Their clothing had already taken
fire from the burning canvas, which had
collapsed.
Williams used the bucket OF water he had
to extinguish the flames. and then jumped
into boat and rowed to Nolan's Point for
aid. Two doctors were quickly found at
the clubhouse, and they went 10 The ISL

an hour before reviving all of them Mad
ison and Huber suffered the most, but have
almost recovered and will be all right in d
few days.

probably the same as that which once in
duced a miller to scrape all the moss and
ivy off his mill, and whitewash it, before
he would allow an artist to make sketch
of the place. 1t is the same impulse which
banished the old-fashioned furniture to
the garret and caused the spinning-wheel
to give way to other and less picturesque
implements of less useful and attractive
fancy work. 1t is leaning toward false
standard of the beautiful.
Incidentally. it might be observed that
IL. in a country place, some enterprising
soul sets up tavern" in the quaint old
phrase, for the entertainment of travel
ers, 1t would be well to make it as simple
and old fashioned as possible. When peo-
pie come from the city to take the coun-
try air they do not care for da-fountains
and bakers dainties; what they want is
something new. The old-time country
dinner at it's best Is still held in affec-
tionate remembrance by those WHO once
travelled by the old-fashioned stage coach.
II the modern housekeeper in the country
will hunt for her grandmother's recipe
book and furniture, she will entertain her
guests as they wish to be entertained, and
it will not cost her half as much in money
and distraction of mind as it will to try
to follow city fashions.

BipycIe Reads.

The general use of the bicycle has re-
rious parts of the country, and towns
hitherto apathetic on the subject have in
dustriously mended and macadamized their
highways. This was not entirely a matter
of sentiment or pride. since the actual
income accruing to a town from the pres
ence of bicycling tourists is often very
considerable, and would be more if there
were more places where catering to these
parties of pleasure seekers had been made
a speciality. In arranging the route for a
days tour on the wheel, party of young
people will, other things being equal, Sc
lect road on which there is a chance of
good accommodation. Half the pleasure
of such an outing consists of the dinner
taken at some out of-the-way and charm
ing nook, or the luncheon eaten in cool
and delightful retreat where things are
made comfortable for warm and dusty
travellers. When people are tired and
hungry they are apt to be Indifferent to
questions of expenditure, and there would
be profit as well as benevolence in the
keeping OF unostentatious little restau-
rants along roads frequented by wheeling
parties.
But there is one item of the Clearing
up" which has followed the advent of the
wheel which is not so pleasant as the
macadamized road. The farmers In some
parts of the country have taken it into
their heads to cut down roadside bushes
and weeds and reduce the wayside to bad
imitation of a suburban lawn. This is not
good, from any point of view. Such
bushes are harmless to the farmers in
terests: they are often beautiful and al
ways picturesque; and what is more i'm
portant, they serve as conservers of mois-
ture and prevent the roads from becom-
ing dusty. They shelter all the little wild
creatures whose presence is a constant de-
light to the traveller, and most of this natu-
raj growth is not tall enough to give cover
to anything more formidable than squirrels
and rabbits. There are no valid objec-
tions to allowing this sweet wild tangIe
to grow unchecked, and there are very i'm
portant reasons, connected with the beauty
and usefulness of the road, for refraining
from its destruction. The impulse which
prompts the farmer to NOW this roadside
growth down with his scythe or sickle is

THE CASE AGAINST MoLINEUx.
Charges Go Before the Grand Jury
Again Next Week.

New York July THE case of Roland
B. Molineux. charged with the murder of
Mrs. Katherine J. Adams, will be present
ed to the grand jury on Tuesday of next
week. Assistant District Attorney Os-
borne will make an effort to introduce TO
the grand jury room large screen and
two blackboards to compare samples of
Molineux's handwriting with the hand
writing on the poison package that was
sent 10 Harry S. Cornish. Ernest Ledere,
of the Health Board, has made a number
of large photographs of letters alleged to
have been written by Molineux and these
will be introduced into the grand jury
room.
William Barnet, brother of the late
Henry c. Barnet, was at the criminal
court building yesterday and brought to
the district attorneys office a number Of
letters in his brothers handwriting.
These letters will be used for the purpose
of showing that the letters known as tie
letter-box letters and signed III. C. Bar
net" were not written by Barnet but
were written by Molineux. No one dis
putes the fact that Henry c. Barnet's
death was caused by poison sent TO him
through the mails by the same person who
sent the poison to Cornish. In case the
present grand jury fail to indict MoiineuX
for the murder Of Mrs. Adams, the dis
trict attorney will make an effort to have
Molineux indicted on charge of causing
the death of Henry c. Barnet.

This deserves place with the widow s-mite
story. 1t is scientifically admitted that the ice
cream appetite in girls is incurable, and fire.
quently grows with age. Even quacks with
out the hardihood to set up an ice cream cure
establishment attempt a long range cure by
the use of patent nostrums
An Elliott Street young woman, who has just
arrived at the dignity of long dresses, armed
herself with a dime and started downtown for a
dish of ice cream. There nothing in the
world that she wanted more. and she wanted it
with the least possible delay. At-Grand Circus
Park she encountered blind man dependent up
on charity. She yearned to help him. and was
rent by conflicting desires. At first she wanted
to give him the whole dime. Then she was be-
set by the deadly appetite, and felt like run
ming for the ice cream. paFlor. this was one
of those great conflicts in which compromise is
possible and honor is preserved. She gave the
blind man a nickle. and with the other nickle
bought a glass Of ice cream soda. 1t will be
readily appreciated that to have given away
the dime would have deprivedrth story of one
of its strongest morals.
