General News From the MetrOpOAIS
of Belmont County.
Tough Tramps.
Yesterday afternoon two tramps
thought they owned the town and
thought they would annex a part Of
Gravel Hill first. They annoyed many
people asking for food, and when re-
fused, proceeded to curse every one
and insulted many women The last
place they visited was Mustgrave coal
works and here they were refused any
contributions and then they showed
what they were in the true light and
gathered stones, throwing them at the
Office, demolishing all the windows. A
telephone message to police head
quarters was answered by Marshal
johnson, who Immediately started, but
on his way found Officer Malone with
an assistant bringing the two men to
Jail. The marshal took charge of one
and when opposite the Catholic church
the man held back and was trying to
get something out of his pocket. The
marshal noticing this Immediately
knocked him down, and went through
his pocket, finding a razor in a home
made case, which the tramp was try
ing to get out to use. Both men are
in jail with several charges against
them, M being malicious destruction
of property. The man Marshal John
son had, became very docile after he
found out that he was in the hands of
one who was not afraid. They will
have their hearing this morning.

The stock market threw Off it's
lethargy and inertness to-day in a
very impressive manner There was
quite an active demand for stocks
from the start in the shape of buying
orders accumulated over night and
the demand gathered volume and urg-
ency pretty steadily Throughout the
day. The rise was so considerable at
some points as to invite profit taking,
but offerings on this account were ab-
sorbed with such confidence that the
selling soon ceased and the market
closed with an upward urs of prices
and burst of animation at the best
prices of the day. Although there was
a substantial increase in what Wall
street calls outside interest, meaning
orders coming by telegraph from diff
ferent points in the country as well as
from sources in the city outside the
ranks of the habitual spectators, the
market must still be described as
largely professional. The strength
was also to a great extent spotty.
That is to say, a comparatively few
stocks or groups of stocks rose buoy
antly while the large part of the list
moved in a more sedate manner, but
still upward. But while this is true
of a perspective view of the whole
market there was nevertheless a no.
table broadening out in speculative in
terest, not only through the usually
active list but embracing many dorm
ant stocks. 1t has been manifest for
some time that the floating supply Of
stocks was small and that prices
moved easily on any considerable de-
mand, but this and every thing else
seemed ~unavailing to invite and con
sidearble demand. Even the obvious
unwillingness of prices to go down
and the determined ignoring of the
depressed influences reflected from the
London market have seemed until to-
day to be viewed with apathy by the
speculative public. These events have,
of course, tended to build up a con-
fdence in the stability of values and
apparently it needed only some special
incident to crystalline sentiment into
an active buying movement. The &C
ton of the directors of the American
Steel & Wire Company yesterday in
setting aside a years dividend for the
common stock at the rate of seven
per cent and the handsome showing
presented in the balance sheet of last
years business was the effective Incl
dent There was a rush to buy Ameri-
can Steel & Wire at the opening and
quotations were a full point apart on
running sales. The stock market scor-

Farmers on Wheat.

The farmers of this section are
making a kick in regard to the price
of their wheat and the miller also has
a kick. In talking to a wheat buyer
yesterday he stated he was paying
sixty-five cents while western wheat
was bringing seventy cents, and that
the people of this section preferred
western flour, and that the farmer
would sell his wheat and go to the
grocery and buy western flour, refus-
ing to use the product of his own
wheat, while others bought half of
each and blended them. 1t is true that
the flour of the west is gradually driv-
ing the millers of this section out of
business.
