THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, May S.--The prolonged dullness on
the Stock exchange gave way TO an outburst OF
active liquidation today and prices suffered Sc
yerey as a result. In the railroad list losses
of between l and points are the rule and IN
many active stocks they exceed that Stocks in
which bull manipulation has persisted in face
of the gathering evidences of depression naturally
suffered the most. Baltimore and Ohio stocks
foremc st in this class, the common losilG
over = points and closing at the lowest, while
preferred is 81. lower than yesterdays close.
Missouri Pacific was another example in the same
class and declined 28s in very heavy dealings In
spite OF pool buying on scale downward. Inc
sharp break i'll prices came generally as sur
prise and the room traders, contrasting the VIDE
movement of prices with the small effect pro-
duced by their best efforts for week past, we're
inclined TO look for an explanation to the arrival
within reach of telegraph facilities OF the most
successful bear leader OF the past year who
landed yesterday in England after week at sea
But there was nothing in the trading that would
make bear raid sufficiently acute for the ma "
ket. The liquidation OF long stocks was clearly
in evidence. The bear traders when they saw
how things were going joined in the selling and
their buying at declines to cover their short
contracts gave the only occasional checks to the
downward of prices. Total sales, 623,sOO

SUSQUEHANNA.


Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Susquehanna, May S.-The work of
taking up the S0-pound rails and lay
ing 9O-pound rails has been carried
on by the Erie for some months, and
is still to be prosecuted, despite the
fact that some of the rails that. are
being lifted are without a flaw. The
object is to have a track that will
stand up under the heavy travel and
will make the passenger trains easy
riding. The chief aim is to get the
road in such condition that the heavy
motive power now being secured will
be able to handle larger trains and
move them with dispatch. The Erie's
officials protest that they are not 60
ing into the spectacular passenger
business, but insist that no road is
to be allowed to run faster trains than
they do between New York and Chi
cagO.

The kidneys separate from the blood
peculiar salt known as urea. If this
salt is allowed accumulate in the
blood it quickly produces blood poison,
(uraemia. But If at the same time
the kidneys allow the serum of the
blood to escape, it forms fatal drain
to the system, falbuminuria.) Catarrh
of the kidneys will so derange them as
to produce both of the disastrous re-
suits for not only will the kidneys fail
to eXcrete the urea from the blood but
will allow the serum of the blood to
escape with the urine.
If the kidneys are healthy they will
eXcrete the poison from the blood.

Pittston. May S.--The Lehigh Valley
railroads fast express, the Black Dia-
mond. caused a wreck at the railroad
bridge crossing the Lackawanna river
just above the l.. & b. junction this
evening. An east bound milk train,
in charge of Engineer A. r. Drake
and Fireman Bert Walt. both of Sayre,
due at Coxton at 4.40 p. m, was leav-
ing the main track just off the east end
of the bridge on its trip over the noun
tain cutoff. About this time the Black
Diamond express, in charge of Engi-
neer +. J. Tubbs and Fireman James
Madden, both of Sayre, came thunder
ing along at a rapid rate The signal
at the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western junction showed a clear cross
ing, but the engineer failed to notice
that the cross-over signal, a hundred
yards further ahead, was against him.
He discovered the train on the cross
over too late and the engine of the
Black Diamond crashed into the fourth
from the last car of the milk train.
Two milk cars were tumbled over and
badly smashed and their contents
spilled. The two last cars on the milk
train were just leaving the bridge, but
fortunately kept the track. The steam
chest on the side of the engine was
smashed and the engine disabled. Gen
eral Superintendent Robert Wilbur,
General Passenger Agent Lee and Div.
ision Superintendent Mitchell were on
the Black Diamond at the time. No
body was injured.

OF INTEREST TO LABOR.
Bidders Cannot Be Restricted to EN-
ploY Union Labor.

Chicago, May S.-Judge Tuthill yes
terday granted an injunction restrain
ing the Coo-. county board of super
visors from inserting in it's advertise
ment for bids for public improvements
stipulation that the work must be
done by union workmen. The case
was brought by the Contractors coun-
Gil. The contractors assert that they
are barred from the bidding because
the advertisements call for none but
union labor.
Judge Tuthill said there was no de-
osion of competent court which up
held the position of the county board
and that they had no right to demand
that any particular sort of labor be
employed. "They are as much outside
the law" he said, "in demanding the
employment of union labor as they
would be If they demanded that none
except Presbyterians or Methodists be
employed The law says that we shall
give the contract to the lowest respon-
sible bidder They are to judge the
responsibility of the bidder, but they
have absolutely no power to restrict
the bidders to the employment of any
special organization of men,"

POLITICS IN PARIS FAIR.
Government Uses the Great Show to
Influence Elections.

Paris, May S.-Should the French Of
licials hold to the strict letter of the
decision to permit no installation of
exhibits after next Saturday the eff
feet on the labors of many countries
and private exhibits will be disas-
trous, although that date is a month
after the formal opening.
The exposition is as yet far from
complete, and many cars filled with
exhibits, some of them American, are
still outside the grounds. America
will suffer less than other countries,
but the action of the French officials
will still be a hardship. The pronun-
clamento, however, IS generally re-
garded as intended for home consump-
tion, as the unfinished condition of the
buildings undoubtedly had it's effect
ON the election held last Sunday, when
the Nationalists had such a decided
victory. Next Sunday elections are to
be held in the districts where second
ballots are necessary, and the decree
is believed to be intended to indicate
10 the people the earnest effort of
the government to hasten the compile
ton of the exposition.
