CHICAGO, Jan. THE national conven-
ton of Steam Shovel and Dredge Engineers
and Crane Men ended to-day. According
to the official reports the membership
largely increased during the past year and
there has not been one idle member of
the brotherhood during that time. There
has been a material increase of wages and
the outlook for the coming season is the
brightest in the history of the order. Reso-
buttons were adopted urging Congress to
improve the waterways of the country,
also to take active measures toward the
construction of the Nicaraguan canal, and
condemning dilatory tactics delaying the
start of this great work. Further reso-
lutions were adopted favoring the govern
ment construction of a deep waterway
from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico and
the building of a channel from the Atlantic
ocean to the great lakes.

AN ABsENT-MINDED HUSBAND.
Locked His Bride In Room and
Forgot Her.


The honeymoon had not started we'll.
They entered the hotel at Indianapolis
with a self-conscious air that made all
sitting in the lobby look up and smile.
She waited at the foot OF the stairs while
he walked up to the register and wrote
Edward Z. Toph Batesville Ind" He
looked at the signature for a moment, and
then seized a pen as the clerk started to
turn the book and hastily and nervously
wrote "and wife Mr.. and Mrs Toph
were assigned to room 2S5.
About ) O'Clock the same afternoon a
bellboy passing down the hall heard somo
one sobbing He listened for moment,
satisfied himself he was not mistaken, and
then rushed down 10 the clerk. The clerh
went up the elevator with visions of a sui
eide fitting through his minds eye, and
he quickly located the sounds as coming
from 235, the Tophs' room He listened
closely but no sound-of mans voice was
heard, and the clerk thought of all the
stories he had ever read or heard of de-
serted and heart=broken women. He knock
ed gently on the door, waited a moment,
and then knocked little harder The sob
bling ceased and the clerk heard some one
stir in the room. He felt greatly relieved
and then unlocked the door. A womans
voice saie. plaintively, ooh. Edward"
The clerk stepped back.
q beg your pardon he began, but
heard you sobbing and I thought perhaps
you were in Distress
'It's-it's--that is" Mrs. Toph replied,
plainly embarrassed. IT'S nothing-re-
ally nothing. l. am greatly obliged to
you for coming to my assistance, even
though ! don't need anything
The clerk returned to the office, hung
up the pass key, and tried to fathom the
mystery. While he was thinking of it,
Mr.. Toph rushed into the hotel. did not
stop for the elevator, but went up the
stairs three steps at time and disap-
peared into the room. Last evening he
came down and walked to the desk, great
ly embarrassed.
Il am sorry. he said. chat we put
you to any trouble or alarmed you, but
the fact is that il was all my fault This
afternoon Mrs. Toph lay down to rest
We were married only yesterday, and

on the first car, but in the meantime she
had awakened and did the only thing

is what was troubling her when you
went to my room You see, she did not
know why locked her in or where l had
gone"

NEW YORK. Sept 5.-In a number of
respects today's stock market was the
broadcast and most substantial that has
been witnessed in a very long time. Trad
ing was fairly active throughout the bust
ness session and it was comparatively well
diversified Foreign houses were unusual-
ly active in the local market. and on bal
ance were buyers here to the extent of
about %. Geo shares. The London market
in general was stimulated by the relaxa-
ton IL discount
Besides this circumstance there was a
number of highly satisfactory statements
of railway traffic for the last week of the
month submitted. among which the St.
Paul Company made a conspicuously strong
showing There was little otherwise of
general Importance in the days develop
ments. Sterling exchange was easy and
money was offered at concessions for prae-
tically any period desired by the borrower.
The West was again lender OF funds in
this market and it is evident that what
ever the crop requirements of the South
for currency may be. demands from the
M,Stts-----e section are likely to turn out in
fnitely small proportions.
As was the case yesterday the trading
was heaviest in Sugar Refining and in Peo-
pies Gas, but as already noted. interest
was well expressed apart from these two
specialties. The wholly unexpected action
taken by the management of the American
Sugar Refining Company, as announced
after the close of business yesterday, nat
uIally resulted in feyerish and uncertain
market for that stock throughout the day.
This is the third time within nine months
that the dividend on the stock has been
altered, circumstance naturally confns-
ing 10 the speculative element. The 1uc-
tuations in Peoples Gas were equally as
wide and giraffe as those in Sugar REIN
ing.
As regarded the movements in the stock
ii appeared IS if the short interest had be-
come unwieldy. and after a further sharp
decline at the opening the stock scored a
rapid recovery. The advances in the rail-
