STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dec. 26.-The stock market
went through some astonishing vicissi-
tudes today, but its most astonishing
phase was the fhal recurrence of the I'M
dertone of strength which has come into
support of the market so persistently of
late and driven off all moods Of depres-
sion After opening with skyrocket ad-
vance in prices followed by drop very
like the skrocket sticks, the market gath
cred itself together again and ignoring
the continued pressure of liquidation
which continued in force at some points,
it resumed its irregular show of strength,
the struggling new points of strength be-
ing unaffected by the weakness at 9TH
ers. The sharp reaction at md-session
was due more than anything else to the
extremely doubtful character of some Of
the opening advances. The character of
the stocks affected and the violence of
the jump in prices gave a sugges ton
of speculative debauch such as is the
invariable accompaniment of the culmina
ton of bull mertet Professional trad
ers have been constantly on the lookout
for the signs of such a elimination, and
they sold the market eagerly on the open
ing rise These offerings were supple
mented by the very heavy profit taking
of interests long of the market. At this
period of the market 1t took on an APP
pearance of general weakness prices
crumbling throughout the list. The sur
prising opening gains in a number of In
dustrial Specialties and few railroad
stocks wero very generally wiped out and
some of the important railroad stocks

break in the Northern Pacific stocks

New York, Dec 26.--The market has
worn quite holiday appearance today,
there having been only limited attend
ance of buyers in any department. There
have been no transactions of any moment
Reported in either cotton or wooden goods
ruling quiet throughout. The tone of the
market is dull, but there is no quotable
change in prices and neither buyers nor
\ sellers are looking for any developments
Apf consequence for the balance of the
ear.
COTTON.
~ New York, Dec. 26.-It has been many
days since cotton speculation has been
confined to the meagre dealings recorded
on change during the day. Fluctuations
were hardly in harmony with the apathy,
reaching matter of fourteen points. On
the first call the feeling was steady but
few trades were made in the absence of
news from the English market which
was still closed. Prices were unchanged
TO two points higher on first sales and
for the rest of the forenoon did not vary
five points. The room element was Sc
riously handicapped by scarcity of orders
from the public and foreign contingent
and by insufficient information from the
crop country. The afternoon session was
somewhat more interesting in the way
of changes in values.
Soon after the noon hour an estimate
for large receipts at New Orleans tomor-
row led to nervous light selling which
came at time when buyers were few
and far between. Prices suffered accord
ingly and broke some eight to fourteen
points from the best level of the morn
ing. There was nothing in the way of
excitement. Soon afterward the pit pre-
scented an inanimate spectacle, and for
the rest of the day business dragged
YEARLY while fluctuations were confined
to point or so. Shorts were made ner-
vous by fears of a squeeze in January and
March and by reports that desirable
grades of spot cotton in the South were
scarce and held at a slight premium.
The market closed barely steady with
prices net unchanged to eleven points

Brave Officer Gone to Join Kirk

DIED AT 11:15 LAST NIGHT
Appeared Much Better During the Af- ternoon, But Relaxed Into Stu por-Made Dying Statement
 to Dr. Whelan-R Record

Police Officer J. II. Adams, who was shot by John Hendricks, alias Dutch Hen ry,' a member of the desperate gang of safe blowers, on last Tuesday night died last night at 11:l5 o'clock at the Hillman hospital.
 For eight days has the wounded police man, with the aid of his physicians, fought the grasp of death, but mans power is limited and for two days it has been known that poor Adams could not survive. He died, however, with the intense satisfaction of knowing thatflis cowardly assailant had been captured and his death in time would be avenged. He knew that he had done his duty, while attempting to protect the safe ty of his fellow men.
 During the day he continued to sink, but late in the afternoon appeared greatly inn proved, which was not considered as d good sign. Towards night he again grew worse and relapsed into dying condi- ton.
 Around the fastly sinking man were his mother his brothers and Dr. Charles Whe- han. He knew that the end was near anI after saying a few words to Dr. Whelan

UNIVERSITY LANDS
 ARE NOT TAXABLE
Board of Revenue Squashes and
 VaCateS the Assessment.
OPINION WAS UNANIMOUS
Tax Commissioner Wetmore Presented His Side of the Case But Was Promptly Turned Down,
 He Will Appeal

Tax Commissioner R. P Wetmore has been turned down by the board of revenue in his effort to collect taxes on the lands Of the state university in this county. \
 The hearing of the case of Commissioner Wetmore against the trustees of tsle uni versity, which was taken up some weeks ago, was resumed at yesterday's session of the board when Commissioner Wet more was heard He appeared in person. and in an argument lasting almost an hour, presented his side of the question, contending that the lands were liable to taxation.
 At the conclusion of the commissioners s argument the board rendered a unani- nous opinion, granting the mction to quash and vacate the assessment, and the commissioner gave notice of appeal
 The action of the board was based upon the following opinion
 State of Alaama vs. the Trustees of the
 University of Alabama.-Tax Assessment
 by Tax Commissioner.
 The United States of America granted to Alabama large body of land for the specific purpose of esta blishing a seminary of learning. As to these lands the state Was charged with trust and the trustee cannot violate the trust by converting to another use than the Specif1c ODJect or the trust. The lands remain the property of the trust until consumed In the use of the trust. The trustee in the discharge of the trust created a bodyCcorporate, the board of trustees of the university, 10 manage the trust estate for the trustee. If the beard of trustees of the university should not manage the estate wisely for the trustee, and the beneficiary. the people, the trustee. the state of Alabama, by its legislature can abolish (discharge) its agent, the lSoard of trustee5 of the university, and the trustee, the state of Alabama, retake into it's custody the estate committed to its agent,the board of trustees of the universi- ty, and marlge the trust directly or through another agency.
 The state, the trustee, cannot tax the trust property for ts own benefit; that Is, for the maintenance of it's government or its agencies (for taxation may be contis oauon), and if the state violate the law of the trust, the United States, through it's attorney general, could go into it's su- preme court and compel the state to right eously perform it's trust.
 It is the opinion Of the board of revenue that the lands granted by the United as lorS as they remain the property of tke University of Alabama, are exempt from taxation, and cannot be made subject to taxation.
 In tlis opinion the lands embraced in the last grant, as well those in the orig inal grant, are included.
 The motion ito quash and vacate the as sessment must be granted.

 Arouse Much Interest

Two most delightful services were held at the Cumberland Presbyterian church. corner of Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street. yesterday afternoon and evening. and the prospect for a good, old-time re- vival is bright. Dr. Holmes, who reached the city the night previous, conducted both services. devoting them to the awakening of Christian workers to their duty and re- sponsibility. He is an able preacher, earn est, enthusiastic and full of faith.
 Oscar Seagle, the young singer, who re- gently decided to devote his talent to gospel singing is in charge of the music. Few voices surpassing his in sweetness have ever been heard in the city, and he sings with so much ease, So much earnestness and power that it is a delight to listen to him. Those who have heard him do not hesitate to com< pare him favorably with Bliss and the great Sankey.
 The revival services will continue throughout the week at o'clock each af- terpoon and s o'clock each evening. Strangers and friends will receive warm welcome at all services.
