THE STOCK MARKET.
stagnntiom Toward the Close Yesterday
"A Heavy UndertOnc.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE stock mar
ket fell into q condition approaching
stagnation during the latter hours of
the trading The undertone was heavy.
the dribbling of selling orders finding
no support whatever. Owing to the
relative dizziness Of the general market
the movement in Peoples Gas was
made conspicuous. The pressure
against the stock was continued early
in the day, but the bears became dis
queted later in the day over vague
suspicion that the gas war in Chicago
was not as unrelenting as was made to
appear on the surface. From 81 5-S as
the low points the stock forged stead
ily upwards 20 So ga. The close was
at the highest with net gain of 3S.
Nothing could more strikingly demon
state the inertness of the general mar
ket than it's utter failure to respond to
this rather sensational movement. The
money market showed a reactionary
tendency, 3 IL per cent, representing
the maximum compared with per
cent. yesterday. Deposits at the sub
fell to below a quarter Of a million dol
lars the movement to New Orleans and
st. Louis being merely nominal. For
eign exchange also steadled this morn
ing but fell away again in the after
noon with the news that the price of
gold In London had been advanced an
other half penny an ounce, for both
gold bars and American eagles. The
rise i'll gold neutraized the action of
the governors of the Bank of England
in retaining the discount rate at per
cent.
The conviction remains general in
Wall street that considerable gold will
come from London later in the fall
that is, supposing the extraordinary
movement of cotton and the resulting
demand for currency from the interior
shall continue. These incidents are
suggestive of the dominance of the cot
ton movement over the whole money
and financial situation at present. Any
considera BILE reaction in the price of
cotton or any marked falling off in the
foreign demand, even at present prices,
would promptly alter the whole outlook
in the international money markets.

that Hon. Charles H. Pine of Ansonia

Wooster were thrown from a wagon
and seriously injured, he will be unable
to be present, but it Is safe to say that
there will be some good speaker here
who, together with Attorney Ullman,
will succeed in arousing the enthusiasm

THE NEW REPORTERS SUCCESS.

THE NEW REPORTERS SUCCESS.
A newspaper took new reporter on
trial recently. He went out to hunt for
news, and after being away all day re-
turned with the following, which he said
WIS the best he could do:
Yesterday we saw a sight which
froze our blood with horror. A cabman,
driving down Market street at a rapid
pace, was very near running over a
nurse and two children. There would
have been one Of the most heartrending
catastrophes ever recorded had not the
nurse, with wonderful forethought, left
the children at home before she went
out, and provldentially stepped into a
chemists shop just before the cab pass
ed.
Then, too, the cabman, just before
reaching the crossing, thought of some
thing he had forgotten, and, turning
about, drove In the opposite direction.
Had It not been for this wonderful con-
currence Of favorable circumstances a
doting father, a loving mother and af-
fectionate brothers and sisters would
have been plunged into the deepest
woe and most unutterable funeral ex-
pense."

An interesting paper by Mr.. G. j.
Cornish in the December Cornhi1I
treats of eagles and their prey. 1t be-
gins with this fact: There is at the
present moment at the Natural History
Museum a model of the skull of an
eagle so gigantic that the imagination
a scarcely fit it in to the life of this
planet at all. The whole head is larg-
err than that of an OK, and the beak re-
sembles a pair of hydraulic shears. I'm
like most of the giant beasts, this
eagle, which inhabited Patagonia, ap-
pears from it's remains to have differ
ed little in form from the existing
species. It's size alone distinguishes
it. The quilts Of the feathers which
bore this awful raptor through the
air, must have been as thick as a walk
ing stick, and the webs as wide as oar
blades. 1t could have killed and torn
to pieces creatures as large as a bison,
and whirled up into the sky and drop
ped upon the rocks the gigantic cara
paced animals of prehistoric Pata-
gonia as easily as a modern eagle of
California does the land t~ortoises on
which it feeds"

A few days ago a surgeon of this
city, of pronounced Boer ~sympathies,
received a communication from the
agent of the Transvaal in Washington,
D. c., making him a very flattering
offer if he would help take charge of
the wounded Beers, says the New Or
leans Times-Democrat. The offer pro-
vides for free passage to the South At
rican republic, with return at the end
of hostilities and a bonus of $500 a
month as long as in the service of the
Boer government. 1t is proposed the
doctor shall sail from New York city
to Liverpool, from which port he will
take a steamer for the scene of HOSTILE
ties, landing at Delagoa bay. Until
Delagoa bay is reached the medical
man will be considered an American
subject and will be under the protec-
ton of this government. At that place
he is to renounce all allegiance to the
United States, and will become a sub
ject of the South African republic.
Whether the war last six months or
not, the salary for that period is guar
anteed at the rate of $500 per month.
1t is probable that the offer will be &C.
cepted.

STRUGGLE WITH A PYTHON.
An Experience He Had NO Wish to
Rn-nnA

An Experience He Had NO Wish to
Repeat.
From wild Animals in captivity"
by Edward Bartlett. Some. few years
since I was invited to the house of a.
surgeon who had just returned from
Ceylon, to see a freshly imported SER
pent of this species. Upon arriving at
the house | found that the doctor was
absent and that his wife and maid
servant were the only inmates.
Upon mentioning the nature of my
visit l was told that the serpent was
in a large box in the greenhouse. I
informed that there was no danger in
opening it because the serpent was
below wire netting and therefore l
would be able to see it without the
chance of it making it's escape. I ac-
cordingly proceeded to the greenhouse,
unlocked the box and opened the lid.
To my utter establishment the snake
was coiled up on the top of the wire
netting, and with the quickness of
lightning darted at me. | had just
time enough to seize it by the neck,
when it instantly wound itself around
my right arm, and I had not the power
to disengage myself from the grip this
serpent had upon me. The two wo-
men were Mortified, and nothing would
induce them to come to my assistance.
My only chance of getting rid of this
powerful brute vas by trying to
strangle him, to do which with both
hands I strove my utmost. It appear
ed to me at the time that | should
not be able to accomplish my efforts
to squeeze his life out. The constant
increase of the pressure he put upon
my arm caused me to fear that I
should entirely lose the power of my
right hand as / was grasping the
brute just below the head with all my
strength. The time appeared to pass
very slowly without any visible dim
mutton of it's extraordinary grip.
However, | felt some relief on finding
after a time that it was slowly relax
ing the pressure, and presently it
gradually slid off my arm until its tail
touched the ground. So soon as l
found the snake sufficiently disengaged
from my arm I dropped it into the box,
apparently more dead than alive. At
ter this / did not consider it worth
while to purchase the reptile, although
I heard from the owner that it was
hone the worse for the squeezing !
had given it.

WIDOWS VALENTINE.
BY ]. L. Harbour.

~ - LII AAOA 0O0AR
The widow Darby, fair, plump and
looking far younger than her 45 years,
had ridden into town with Jared Kent
because her horse had famed himself
that morning, and Jared happened to
be going in and had asked the widow
to ride with him.
Jared was what some of the people
Of the neighborhood called a regular
born old bach" He had 1outed and
scorned womankind most of the, fifty
years of his life, and had openly set
forth his conviction that men were
better off without EN- than with 'em,
particularly when it came to marry
ing of EN-" He had held to this con-
viction so long and had proclaimed 1T
so boldly and so constantly that all OF
the match-makers in the rural neigh
borhood in which he lived had given
him up a hopeless case beyond the pale
of their schemes for making a bene-
dict of him.
Jared was not, like most avowed
ONE haters, a grabbed, cross
grained, sneeringly, cynical man,
which made his celibacy all the more
objectionable in the eyes of the match
makers.
He'd make a real good husband If

1t may be noted that while the pro-
fessors are ~disputing as to the COM
mercial utility of liquid air as a pow
er, the main engine work of the WORLD
is still done by steam. Electricity came
long before liquid air. 1t has been
put to commercial uses for twenty
years, and immense advances have
been made in its production and appli-
cation. Yet the extent to which it
has actually superseded steam as an
applied power is really trivial-and
there is a steam engine behind every
current of electricity that is put to
commercial uses. Within a few special
lines electricity is practicable as an
agency for distributing the power
originally generated in a steam engine:
but the day when steam shall cease
to be the driving power of the world
seems to be as far off as ever.

An intelligent masterpieces is quot
ed as saying to the men of his own
trade, Whether we wish for it or not
the eight-hour day is bound to come:
and instead of wasting our strength in
vain resistance, we shall find it wiser
to consider how we can adjust our bust
ness to the inevitable change" With
out accepting or rejecting this prophe-
sy, we may say with truth that the
present agitation seems to follow in
the track of the movement of sixty
years ago, which reduced the working
day from twelve OF more hours to ten
1t is urged by the same reasons: it is
met by the same objections; it wins
by the same zigzag advances. In eight
states there has already been friendly
legislation; in Boston and Worcester
it has been approved by popular suf-
frage as a standard for all city en-
ployes. 1t is for the interest of both
capital and labor that so serious a
change should be made-if it is to be
made at all-with the least possible
disturbance to business.
