NEW YORK, April 12-The Stock Mar

furnishing pronounced exceptions to the
general tendency. Very heavy selling was
noted both in American Steel and Wire,
Federal Steel, and others of the same

without much effect upon the railway list.
The features Of the latter quarter were
Missouri Pacific, the Baltimore and Ohio
shares, the Pacific stocks, and the Penn
sylyania Railroad.
The tendency of the railway list was
helped by the very decided strength that
was shown in the London market, where
American stocks were shown at advances
OF ohe-quarter to three quarters London
houses were buyers of fair amount OF
stocks here at the opening, and there

AGAINST REDUCTION PROCESS.
The Commissioners' Views on the
Disposal of Garbage.

The Commissioners have sent a Ie-
ply to the letter of Senator Mcmillan, re-
ferring TO them an amendment to the Dis
trict bill relative to the disposition of gar
| bage. This amendment was proposed by
John b. Corliss and provides that the Dis
trict shall be divided into collection dis
tricts and that garbage shall be disposed
OF by the reduction process. Ii is further
stipulated in the amendment that no gar
bage shall be exposed on land and none
dumped in the Potomac River or any Of
its branches.
The Commissioners state that they have
given the subject careful consideration and
are of the opinion that the present pro-
visions in the District bill relative TO the
disposal of garbage and waste are the
best form in which to leave the matter
at present. There is a very strict law III
force now, they say, under which prose-
cutions have been made and persons pun
ished for dumping garbage in the river
and the Commissioners think that no ad
ditional legislation on that subject is
necessary.
The Commissioners also regard II as a
mistake to limit the disposal Of garbage
10 the reduction process. There is much
difference of opinion, they assert, regard
ing this process, and il seems TO them
preferable to leave the matter open as ii
is at present. so that all kinds Of pro-
posals may be received, from which wise
selection may be made by the Commits
sioners and by Congress. The provisions
OF the District bill on the subject leave
the matter flexible which they think is
in every way 10 be desired in the tentative
form in which many processes Of garbage
disposal still are. The Commissioners do
not think that the District funds should
be spent in doubtful experiments on re-
duction of garbage by furnaces or by other
means.
The division OF the territory OF the Dis
trict into collection districts the Commits
sioners regard a practical impossible
ity. as the growth Of the city during the
period covered by the contract would rem
der ii necessary either TO collect from dis
tricts not requiring such service or to
leave without collection a year or two
hence places for which such service would
be really necessary.
Finally the Commissioners express the
hope that the legislation of Congress
will stand chiefly as that proposed in the
Gallinger bill, now before the Senate.

SHOT HIS FIANCEE.
New York Salesman Kills n
Woman and shoots Himself

NEW YORK. April l2.-Frederick Shore,
a salesman, shot and killed mis- fancee,
Fanny Greenbaum, yesterday in the
apartments of Isaac GOldstein, in the tene-
ment at 409 East Sixth Street, where she
was employed as a servant. Then, after
winding up music box and listening 10 a
tune Shore sho; himself in the head. He
was taken to Bellevue Hospital, and will
probably die. Goldsteins young niece and
nephew. Hannah and Jacob Samuel. who
were visiting him, were terrified witnesses
of the shooting. The Greenbaum' woman,
who was twenty-nine years old, had been
employed by the Goldstein family for the
last six months. Shore frequently visited
her and the Goldsteins say that on account
of his agreeable manners they made him
welcome. Today Shore began to upbraid
the girl for having gone to the theatre
the night before with another man. After
a few minutes wrangling, he drew a re-
volver from his pocket and shot her. She
was dead when the police arrived.

THE IDOL OF THE TURF.
The Most Popular Jockey i'm America

arts Dyspepsia Tablets.

NO jockey has ever appealed so strongly
to public favor as Tod Sloan.
he has achieved more than his most
noted predecessors, ever attempted and
stands in class by himself.
Not satisfied with his successes In his
native country, he went to England ana
now his fame as a successful hOrseman is
on the tip of every tongue not only in this
country and England, but in every section
of the globe where racing has found favor.
When Tod first went to England his te-
merity was openly laughed at, but the
little American played skittles with his
English rivals and his victories made all

Thousands of former dyspeptics can
vouch for the truth of Tod Sloan's words
as "Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets" have be
come household word in America, and
few families are without them. One or
two taken after meals keep the stomach
sweet by causing prompt and healthy di-
gestion of the food.
