NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The local irac-
tion issues were the features Of the stock
market in the early doings Of this morn
ing. Apparently, because Of resent devel-
opments in the affairs OF the Third Avenue
and the Consolidated Companies, it was
conjectured that measures looking toward
bringing the local traction and illuminat-
ing corporations under closer joint control
were being arranged. On this account
there were noteworthy advances made in
Third Avenue Manhattan, Metropolitan
Street Railway and Consolidated Gas.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was sympatheti-
cally strong and also bought on the belief
that with the election OF directors on Fri
day next. new and significant names would
appear on the board The general market
opened with a somewhat uncertain and ir-
regular tore but il subsequently developed
greater steadiness.
In the industrial quarter. Sugar Rein
ing. American Tobacco. and Glucose Sugar
Refining were notably strong. In the rail
way list. Missouri Pacific remained the
conspicuous feature and the dealings else
where in that quarter Of the market were
or a small scale. The bond market con-
tinued very firm and active.
Prices for American stocks in London
were shown at recessions. along with 9TH
er quarters Of the market there. There
seemed TO be some disappointment at the
absence of more favorable news regarding
the progress Of the British forces before
Ladysmith. and cunsols were q shade low

The Destiny of the Anglo-SaxOn.

RALEIGH, n. c., Jan. 23.-Col. Robert
Bingham, of the Bingham School, one of
the foremost educators in the South, spoke
here tonight on the subject of expansieh.
The auditorium at the Agricultural and
Mechanical College was filled with stu
dents and citizens. Colonel Bingham's sub
ject was "Our Past, Present, and Future .
When the speaker declared that we placed
our foot upon the Philippines and would
never take il off, he was applauded for
several minutes. Colonel Bingham de-
clared that the Anglo-Saxon race is pre-
destined to govern the earth, and he re-
cited historical facts TO maintain his po-
sition. The construction of the Nicara-
qua Canal and expansion, he said, are
the two greatest blessings that could come

Georgetown's indoor meet, to be held at
Convention Hall, on February H. prom
ises TO surpass last years highly success
| full tournament of sport. 1t will be re-
| membered that Georgetown introduced
these midwinter contests TO Washington
| and the south
For years indoor meets have been held
in New Orleans, and even in Philadelphia,
but until Georgetown took the matter up
| athletes of this section were restricted
to the summer months for the exercise
and exhibition of their powers.
Last winter the innovation attracted one
| of the biggest crowds that ever entered
Convention Hall, and the enthusiasm dis
played by the spectators on that occasion
had been rarely equaled, even in the many
outdoor contests that had taken place
| here.
The managers Of the coming meet have
been overwhelmed with entries from near
ly every institution of learning in the
Eastern United States. Harvard will
send Dick Grant, the pick of her distance
runners, to compete with Aleek Grant OF
! PENNSYLVANIA.
These men are Brothers and have never
previously met in competition under Off
| cial auspices. II is generally conceded that
| the mile event resolves itself~into a con-
test between these two athletes, although
there will be a big field of starters. Aleck
Grant holds a lower record than Dick, but
the Harvard men claim that their man is
faster than the Pennsylvania brother. This
very interesting question will be settled at
Georgetown's meet in February.
Frank Herman, of Philadelphia. is out for
the hurdles against Kraenzlein, the inter
collegiate champion. Lucas, the potato
race champion, will also be present. Luz
cas- lowered the worlds record for this
event al the Georgetown indoor meet last
year.
Three relay races have already been ar
ranged between the big universities, and
these will be the most important of the
season. Mike Murphy, Pennsylvania s
trainer. has sent word that he has hun
dred men in training and will send the pick
of his flyers to race Georgetown's four
fastest men in a mile relay.
Over at Georgetown there is an endless
amount Of hard work being done every
day, and the rivalry for positions on the
Ielay team is keenest of all.

AN ITALIAN TRAGEDY.
Too Many Drinks Cause Murder In
Scranton.

Scranton.
SCRANTON. Pa, Jan. 23.-John Lardo,
an Italian of Peckville, had christening
at his home, when he entertained about
thirty guests and furnished them with all
the beer and whisky they could drink,
which proved to be considerable. Among
the guests were August Esconia, America
Manaugello, and August Bonniani.
During a lull in the hilarity these three
were sitting in the kitchen, when Esconia
mentioned something about Peter Chipri-
ano. Peter happened to be in the next
room and stepping to the threshold
scowled fiercely at the three friends.
Esconia wanted to know what Chipriano
wanted. Chipriano yelled Its you l want,
and I've got you where you won't trouble
me any more" and before he had finished
speaking Esconia dropped to the floor with
a 44-caIibre bullet from a bulldog revolver
in his forehead.
Chipriano as quickly fired again and this
time Manaugello fell with his arm shat
tered. Again the revolver cracked and
Bonniani fell, shrieking, with an ugly hole
in his thigh.
BY this time the guests had become
frenZied, and, oVerpoWerlnS CnlpFldno
were trying to beat him to death, when
two of the borough officers arrived and
with drawn revolvers took their prisoner
to the county jail, amid savage cries for
vengeance. He would undoubtedly have
been killed by his own people but for the
timely arrival of the officers.
The two wounded men are seriously hurt
but will probably recover. Chipriano had
a reputation as bad man and only three
weeks ago nearly killed man by stabbiDg

proved to be an old shoemaker b. the

exercise. He wore a white sweater, and

NOORESTOWN, ". j., Jan. 23.-For sew

badly frightened to see white apparition
moving along Church Street. near Trinity
Church Cemetery, after dark. Many per-

along the sidewalk with zigzag motion
until close to them. when it would mys-
teriously drop out of sight as il the earth

A Proposition to Place CuspidOrs on
Cleveland Streets.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. Jan. 23-Council-
man Goodman introduced an ordinance at
the meeting of the city council last night
which provides for cuspidores being placed
at the edge of each pavement, at distance
of 200 feet from each other, within ra-
dius of half mile from the Repulic
Square The ordinance says that these
shall be firmly fixed in the pavement, and
can be removed only by such persons as
are authorized TO do So
There is a penalty of from 81 to So for
refusing TO use these cuspidors. The
city has been dealing quite a good deal
with the expectoration nuisance of late,
the microbe idea being firmly imbedde1 in
the minds of the counclmen. This is a
measure carrying out that idea, and it will
probaly pass the council when it has run
the usual routine.
