Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, November 26.-An absence
Of liquidation and d cautious demand from
commission houses resulted in steady un-
dertone In todays stock market London
Is expected to disclose a considerable short
interest in tomorrow's settlements and a
hurried demand from that center is counted
among the probab The advance was
limited to a few issues, but in the main
the tendency was toward a higher level
and the surface indications were entirely
healthy.
Last weeks decline did not extend to the
limits which the size of the advance might
have warranted. but the setback has had
beneficial effect. On all sides the opinion is
expressed that conditions outside of Wall
street do not warrant any depreciation in
values. What may happen from events
within the financial community depends
largely on the course of the money mar
ket. At present the banks show a remark
able ability for financing the growing vol
urne of business.
The chief feature of interest today was
an advance in Southern railway issues the
common stock gaining nearly 3 per cent
from Sa turday's closing level and the pre-
ferred a trifle more The demand was in A
sense, well distributed, and many reasons
were assigned for it, but all lacked official
confirmation The one plausible fact is that
the Pennsylvania railroad is going to OPEN
~ acknowledge its guardianship of the
Southern system.
The S120, ,G00,000 of common stock is to be
cut down to less cumbersome proportions
and per cent dividend may be g,laran-
teed on the preferred. This guarantee is
not likely to become a burden, since the
ROAD can earn that amount under its pres
ent ef1c1ent management. The re,ulction
or the common stock should move that
ISSUE within the circle of small dividend
payers. say, the l per cent class such as
chesapeake and Ohio.
Another rumor was that a prominent
local banking firm and the PENNSYLVANIA
omclals We're unable to agree on the dis
position OF this common stock and that
contest was in progress. On this latter
point there was little official information
to be had, but neither of the parties are
given to contests which advance prices for
the benefit of the, public to their own direct
dlsadVantage. The most rational view of
the episode is that something intrinsicalIy
beneficial Is going on in the Southern prop
erty.
Amalgamated Copper was a weak feature
to tie market in general. The Traction
stocks rallied from a weak opening and,
renewed confidence was expressed in their
growing value. The industrial list general
ly, and Sugar in particular gained some
strength from a mixed demand The Coal
shares lag noticeably. but the belief pre-
walls that they will be given a period of
prominence before the market relauses.
As indicated last week, a few shares ara
likely to be moved at a time instead of tn.
1ndiscriminate buying of the whole list.
Some stocks are already unwarrantablY
nigh and distinctions must be made.

ing for Separation.

tween Clifford Perrin and his wife, Mary

The plaintiff in the case, Mr.. Perrin, was
at the time of the marriage seven years

much admired for her beauty.
The wedding ceremony took place here
and was a fashionable affair. Since then
1T has been known here that the domestic
felicity was not unclouded, and the prob
able outcome has been the subject of more
or less talk Mrs. Perrin makes her home
in this city.
The parties were married October 81, 1898,
and have one child. Mr.. Perrin complains
that his wife violated her duty by personal
neglect of him, both in health and especial
ly while he was i'll; also in frank declara-
tions on her part that she had not any per-
sonal affection for him; also In the contin-
uous and persistent receiving of attentions
from a certain unmarried man, and finally
In deserting him in November. 1897. Attor-
neys r. Ross Perry q Son represent the

ment in jail for 800 days. In his petition

DRINKING DURING OFFICE HOURS.
Discovery Of a Cooperative "SpeaE
Easy In the Pension Office.


Easy In the Pension Office.
A "speak easy" has been in operation
in the pension office for some time, but 1t
has been suspended indefinitely after a
searching investigation by Commissioner
Evans aud there is a feeling Of unrest in
at least three divisions where guilty men
have been located. 1t was speak easy"
conducted on the cooperative plan. the
men implicated pooling their issues and
bringing in the spirits in turn Thus far
ten men have been implicated and many
more are expected to be discovered. The
inquiry has been most thorough, and Com
missioner Evans proposes to adopt drastic
measures to break up the practice.
Several days ago 1t was noticed that GER
tain clerks We're under the influence OF
liquor during Office hours Inquiry devel-
oped the fact that these men came to the
office perfectly sober and from some un-
known source obtained sufficient intoXicant
to become DRUNK. When the matter was
reported to the commissioner he directed
thorough investigation. One man whose
conviyial habits were well known was Sc
lected and watched He came last Tuesday
morning with the glow of youth upon his
cheeks and was carried home in a maudlin
condition But before he left he was inter-
rogated, and, upon gentle persuasion, di-
vulged the name of the man who fur
nshed the liquor. This individual was then
called and his deposition taken. He re-
membered giving a drink, but could
not say positively it was the accuser.
Asked why that was, he replied it was too
dark to distinguish features. 1t was then
learned that the file room under the roof
was the meeting place of the booze graft
ers,' as these men have been dubbed
AT certain hours each day they would
meet in the uncertain light of the file room
and, after some such question rs that
you. Bill?' used as counterSign, would
pass the bottle and the rest was easy. The
investigation has taken many ramifications,
and it is believed that no less than fifty
clerks are involved. Whenever a deposition
is taken some new name is added to the list.
It is believed that several dismissas and
many suspensions will follow the investiga-
ton.
