WASHINGTON'S STREETS
CROWDED WITH SLEIGHS
A GREAT DAY FOR THE SPORT
Merry Jingle OF Bells Heard From
Early Morning to the "Wee
Small HOurs.r

A great day for sleighing was yesterday
and the merry jingle of the sleighbells
was heard from early morn until the wee
small hours of today. Along Washing
tons streets and avenues dashed the high
stepping trotters, drawing the cutters with
their freight of merry makers, and out
through the parks and along the subur-
ban roads for miles could be heard the
tinkling of the bells.
1t is rare for Washington to have really
good sleighing as compared with more
Northern and Western cities but all things
conspired TO make the sleighing yesterday
we'll nigh ideal, and the Capital City low
ers of the sport were quick to take ad-
vantage of II. The snow was deep enough
and light and feathery, and it packed
nicely; the temperature was unusually
mild for good sleighing. and there was lit
tie or no wind. There were a few spits of
snow in the afternoon. but so light were
they that they merely added to the zest OF
the sport.
II there was a cutter or vehicle of any
kind that ever went on runners that was
not out in this city yesterday it would have
been hard to find il.
Sleighs of every kind and description

and hundreds of them. 1t struck one with
amaZement that there should be so many,
and the onlooker could not forbear won
dering where they all came from and
where they were hid away in summer time
There were the regulation single and
double cutters, of course, trim as yacht
and skinning over the snow-clad ground
almost as swiftly and lightly as bird on
the wing. There were big, handsome four
in-hands, filled with merry parties of from
six to dozen, with usually three on a
seat. There were big, deep, clumsy af-
fairs, dragged along by old time car horses.
and few ancient sletghs that looked as if
they had seen service "befo' de wah.'
There were family sleighs and omnibus
sleighs, and the kind that look like big
wicker CLOTHES basket ON runners, with
the occupants heads just visible above
the basket work. There were spirited high
steppers that had records of under 2:3O.
and handsome cobs, and there were ancient
nags that would have been more at home
in front of cart or car, while the va
rieties between the two were numberless.
If all the sleighs that were to be seen yes
terday could be gathered together and put
on exhibition they would constitute an in

Rev. W. p. Gibbons Exoncrated.

The case of Lulu Smith Greene, who
charged William p. Gibbons. Ph. D.. pastor

district attorney, Alexander Mulowny in
The Police Court today. After thorough
investigation of each and every voucher
presented by DR.. Gibbons, receipted by
Mrs. Lulu Smith-Greene, It was concluded
that there was no case against Rev. Glib
bons, and the district attorney ordered
the case TO be nol-prossed, and cautioned
Mrs. Smith-Greene hereafter to be more
cautious in bringing prosecutions and

cause well founded in law before attempt

Shamokin. Pa, Feb. 6.-Judge Sayidge
will call up the case of Edward Crissing-
er for trial today. He met Miss Daisy
Smith. aged sixteen years, walking near
Boyle's Run, last October. and, because
she had previously refused TO accept social
attentions from him he discharged the con-
tents of shotgun in her back. She stag
gered toward home, and he, afraid that
she would inform on him, cut her throat
and killed her.
He was arrested shortly afterward, and
while in Jail confessed his crime. Since
then he has feigned insanity, and counsel
will try to clear him on that plea.

CONTINUED QUIET ON
THE STOCK MARKET
Trading Chiefly of a Profes-
SiOnal Character.
Burlington Declines on Denial of
the Refunding Plan Runner.
Northern Pacific Jumps on Reports
CONCERNING the SimpIiHcutiOn
of Capitalization.

New York. Feb. 15.-There was a mod
today's stock market which was probably
in part due to the increased facilities for
communication and transportation follow
ing upon the breaking of the snow block
ade. At the same time, except in COM
parison with yesterday. the market would
have been adjudged quiet one. particu-
larly when contrasted with the ac-
tive dealings of last month. The
character of the trading also was
largely professional. An early gen.
eral advance in prices was to a great
extent the result of traders purchases
based primarily upon their expectations of
an announcement by the management of
the Burlington and Quincy Company of
plan for the refunding of the companys
early maturing bonds. But a denial of
this rumor caused a decline During the
earlier trading further stimulating infiu-
ences were furnished by advances in New
York Central and by the pronounced
strength in Northern Pacific common.
There were no changes of Importance in
the outside situation and the only addi-
tiOn to the days routine circumstances
was lHe ulScOuTaSlDB statements submitted
by the Manhattan Railway Company for
the quarter ended December 81.
The noteworthy advance in Northern
Pacific common was attended by fresh re-
ports that the controlling interests in the
property were considering a plan for the
simplification of the company's capitali
zation as was set forth in these dispatches
several weeks ago. Official denials as to
certain rumored details of the plan were
forthcoming but irrespective of the final
outcome of the matter it is believed that
one upshot will be the placing of Northern
Pacific common on regular dividend basis.
position warranted by the company's
earnings. The comparative unimportance
OF the dealings for foreign account in the
local market appeared fn the fact that the
only considerable operations in this way
were sales of the Northern Pacific shares.
In the final dealings the whole market
developed renewed strength. largely be-
cause of the advance in Northern Pacific.
The whole list participated in this move
ment, which was chiefly the result of
fresh switch in the position of the pro-
fessional element. and the general market
closed strong.

being at 62 SIS. This is the best record
made by the stock for two weeks, and
the most encouraging, as Mr.. Flower was
undoubtedly the cause Of the advance. Mr..
Flower is on record as predicting 40 for
this stock in the near future. and the de-
velopments OF yesterday seem to suggest
that he intends to put it at that figure in
this movement.

Mr.. Flower was the leader Of the bull
movement. When prices began to sag he
was undoubtedly out of his stocks 10 a
large extent He has been buying at the
low prices quietly since that time. The
street seems to have no doubt that he Will
now take up his favorites again as he did
before. because during all the decline he
has protested that the bull movement is
not over The problem that the street is
irving to solve is as to what stock he VIII
take up first. Atchison preferred may be
one of his cards, as was suggested. ROCK
Island and the Federal Steel securities are
also picked out as likely to be early recip-
tents of his favor.
The times., 1899-02-16

Another day must be counted for the
bulls. Prices yesterday. while not in
every case advanced, show on the av-
erage a good gain. In some cases there
was a fine strength shown. which resulted
in great advances. There was good buy
ing by the leaders of the market in their
specialties. and the public. although not
large buyers, were contributors to the gen.
eral strength. Northern Pacific COM
mon, Atchison preferred, and Burlington
were the stocks most traded in and the
most interesting of the day. the remainder
Of the list following in their lead largely.
Clique buying of a most significant kind
was TO be seen in all these stocks and the
conclusion generally drawn is that their
friends expect to see the public take them
up and put them higher. The result of the
days Business therefore should be con-
sidered most satisfactory by the bulls. who
now talk most confidently of a continuance
of the advance. The optimists OF the mar
ket talk of a new high level. asserting
that the recession has been ample for all
the technical conditions and that the log
ical continuance OF the bull movement OF
1883 is now due. There are OF course those
who do not expect so much. These people
suggest that the movement in Burlington
which has been the greatest is only an
incident. On the whole however, the bulls
have the best of the argument though it
is likely. of course. that for few days
there will be traders market with luc-
tuations both way.
