STABBED IN A STAGE DUEL.
William Fnrersham Painfully Hurt
While Playing Romeo.

Boston, May 25.-William Faversham,
Maude Adams leading man in Romeo and
Juliet" at the Hollis Street Theatre, met
with an accident Monday night and mar
rowly escaped serious injury.
In the quarrel scene, in which Mr.. Fa-
versham as Romeo and Mr.. Hackett as
Mercutio meet, Hackett misjudged his
thrust and drove his sword into Faver-
sham's mouth.
Fayersham stopped suddenly and in pain
put his hand to his mouth, which was
filling with blood. He regained his pres
ence Of mind. however, and went on with
his part as if he had not been hurt The
wound bled profusely, and being half
choked, he edged over to one of the wings
and cleared his mouth OF blood. He did
this several times, but with such coolness
that the audience did not realize the stu-
alton.
During the entracte the wound was
temporarily dressed. stypttc applied, and
he was able to finish the play. AS soon as
possible after the curtain fell Faversham
was given medical attention. The mouth
wound was cleansed and redressed, and
several stitches were taken in his lip.
No serious trouble is anticipated from
the accident. and he was able to appear
last night although, owing to his cut and
swollen lip, an apology was made for him.

Attempt to Wreck n Train.

Winchester, Va. May 25.-tThe Baltimore
and Ohio accommodation train, which is
due in this city at p. m.i was detained
about an hour and half Tuesday night on
account of an attempted wreck just out
side of Winchester. The track had been
creased with lard for a rails length on
each side, which caused the engine wheels
to slip and as the train was going about
thirty miles an hour the force was SO great
as to throw the sidebar on the driving
wheels off. and as it revolved tore up the
ties. Had the bar struck any solid rock
1t would have been forced back to the cab
and killed both Engineer A. b. Ingle and
Fireman John Smith both Of whom reside
in Baltimore.

YOUTHFUL BURGLARS CONFESS
Summers. Houchens. and Marks to
BE Arraigned Today.

Frank Summers and Fred Houchens, who
gave their ages as fourteen years, and
Richard c. Marks. eleven years old, were
arrested and locked up yesterday by Detec-
tives Herndon and Lacy, charged with the
larceny OF $50 in gold and a check for S12
from trunk at the home of Henry Clay
Willis, a bookhinder at the Government
Printing Office who lives at 7SS Sixth
Street northwest. The youthful burglars
confessed their guilt and will be arraigned
in court this morning
The robbery occurred Wednesday. Mr.
Willis was at work and the other occupants
OF the house were viewing the Jubilee
parade. The boys gained access to Mr..
Willis room by climbing rainspout and
prying open a window with a hatchet. They
used Il hatchet to open the trunk which
contained the money and check. After Sc
curing the plunder the youths took a train
for Alexandria. and proceeded to squander
their ill-gotten wealth in the purchase of
pies, clans, candies, etc. They were ar
rested when they returned TO Washington
and S75 of the gold recovered by the detec-
tives. Marks lives in the house occupied
by Mr. Willis, and knew that the money
stolen was contained in the trunk

MARKET CONDITIONS
DECIDEDLY BETTER
A Perceptible Revival of Spec
ulatiye Interest.
Franchise Tax and Crop Conditions
Controlling Features.
New York Traction stoct>s Advnnce-
Atchison Preferred and the
Granger Shares Active.

New York, May 25.-of the two main
factors engaging speculative attention at
this time the days developments were ac-
counted favorable as TO one and otherwise
as to the other. That is to say, the better
prospects for the passage of the amended
Franchise Tax bill at Albany caused pur-
chases for both accounts OF the local trac-
tion shares and incidentally of the gen
eral market. On the other hand, the day :
advices in respect of the winter wheat sit
uation were decidedly discouraging, and
they had some measure OF substantiation
In the course of the grain market. Apart
from these circumstances the days situa-
tion comprised a reacuonary foreign eX-
change market, still easier money market
conditions, and the generally good traffic
returns for the third week OF May. What
was perhaps of greater Importance than
any OF the cited features of the situation
was a perceptihle bettering in speculative
sentiment. AS is often the case, it was
not easy to assign definite causes for the
latter change.
Although the days market showed some
noteworthy advances the trading was still
characterized by some nervousness and
consequent Irregularities. This was natur-
al enough in view OF the protracted decline
in prices, which continued puZZllng TO the
rank and file of outside spectators. whose
attention is still engrossed with what they
call the strong outside situation, regarding
which they are unable or unwilling to ap-
ply comparative analysis. Regarded from
a technical point of view the days market
was interesting as showing that with real
liquidation, as limited in volume as II
now is, operations for the short account
quickly bring about an 'oversold" condi-
tion of the market. With more aggressive
leadership on the bull side it is fairly Ger
tain that the days results would have
been more pronounced, but it is note
worthy fact that within the past few weeks
the effective manipulation of prices has
shifted from the long to the short side OF
the account.
The market opened firm, being favor
ably affected by the higher range of prices
for American stocks in London and by the
moderate purchases here for foreign ac-
count. Its improving tendency was fairly
well maintained, though occasionally in
terrupted by profit taking sales and the
completion of the covering of a short in
terest. The most active features of the
market were Atchison preferred the
granger shares, Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
and Sugar Refining. The progress of the
Franchise Tax bin and the crop advices
comprised about all that was applicable to
the dealings in particular stocks. The in
dustrial quarter was firm also. The mar
ket closed dull and steady.
The times., 1899-05-26

The market continued dull yesterday. but
IL exhibited evidences of strength that
have been absent for several days. Prices
at the opening we're about equal 10 the
close on Wednesday, and there was, during
the entire forenoon and early afternoon,
an advance from this level. a reaction in
the last hour lost part of the days gain, but
the close was an average of nearly a point
higher in all the active stocks. Opinions
differ as TO the significance of the advance
naturally, but on the whole IL must be con-
Eidered encouraging. There was short COW
ering during the day, but also II is said
that the leaders bought heavily OF several
stocks The immediate outlook is for high
er prices today on further covering by the
shorts who will not wish to carry their
short coverings over the holidays. Any
quick and energetic buying by the Flower
crowd and the other leaders might for
this reason be followed by a decided up
ward movement IL is one of the we'll
known market axioms that when a declin-
ing market is followed by stagnation for
two OF three days, an advance is due. The
bulls are still most confident that prices
The times., 1899-05-26

are near if not quite on the bottom, and
likely TO begin an important and extended
advance at any time. The leaders have the
stocks. and the public is largely short.
This is one important factor. The leaders
will not allow prices to sag while they are
loaded with stocks if they can help it.
That is not their usual method of opera
ton. The facts now being printed re-
garding the winter wheat crop are bad.
but it is certain that nothing worse will
come out, and the chances are largely in
iaVor OF much better showing The out
look for spring wheat is excellent. Peo-
pie who are well informed state their belief
that there will be a very large acreage.
The general impression is that the passage
of the Ford bill will be received as a bull
argument The general news in every other
direction is supremely satisfactory. Money
continues cheap.

New York, May 25.-It is generally be-
lieved that there will be an easier mar
ket in cotton as soon as the effect of the
recent rains in the South is realized, and
Southern correspondents begin to send in
reports OF their beneficial effect. There is
a disposition in a good many quarters 10
prepare for a reactionary movement.
The talk of the immense business in cot
ton goods in England is still used as a
bull argument, but the almost certainty of
third great crop seems TO overshadow
this factor in the minds of most specu-
lators.
The temperatures in the cotton region
today ranged from fifty eight at Augusta
