Great Request for Local Stocks.

The movement in local stocks is very
lively at the present time. Wheeling
Street Railway Co stock has been in
great request for few days past,
owing to the rumors af1oat concerning
the action to be taken at the stock
holders meeting to-day. Small blocks
of the stock have been transferred at
s1.1O, but stock is difficult to get at any
price. People are holding it to see
what may be the outcome Of the ru-
mors now extant.
Wheeling Steel and Iron is firmly
held these days. Little of it is being
transferred The stock was offered
three weeks or more ago at s1.02. Yes
terday few shares were sold at $1.05.
Most of what little is offered is held
for a higher figure. People holding
this stock are looking for great ap-
probation in its value at an early
date.

An unusual thing happened in the
damage suit of Hissom VS.. Hissom
Yesterday morning. Juror James
White. who lives in the country, failed
10 appear at the proper hour, and the
pther eleven jurors were In the box.
The court waited for a full hour, and
then announced an adjournment I'M
iii two o'clock in the afternoon. There
was considerable speculation as to the
cause of Whites absence, and it was
generally believed that he was i'll.
About noon White put in an appear
ance. and was Intercepted by Judge
Hervey as to the cause of his absence.
He replied that he had some business
to attend to, and missed his train for
the city. The excuse was not deemed
satisfactory by the court and White
was fined $40 for contempt. At two
o'clock court reassembled, and the
trial proceeded.
The first witness placed on the stand
was DR.. E. C. Myers, of the Island, one
of the physicians who testified in the
insanity proceedings. His examina-
ton covered in detail his connection
with the case. He told about visits to
his office of J. R. Hissom and Mrs.
Hissom. who told of a condition of
affairs with respect to DR.. Hissom,
which led him to believe the doctor to
be insane. Subsequently he called up
on the doctor for the purpose of max
ing a personal investigation.
''Now, doctor, with your under
standing of the case, and bearing in
mind your own interview with him,
what was your opinion of his then
mental condition"
Objection; overruled.
"My opinion, based upon all the
facts | had, was that he had delusional
insanity"
Mr.. Howard asked DIR. Myers if there
was such a thing as degeneracy in in
sanity, and witness explained that de-
generacy appears in insanity, and also
In idiocy
'tDegeneracy covers a wide field. 1t
covers idiocy and imbecility and va
rious types of insanity. All insane
persons are mentally degenerate.
Criminal degeneracy is simply de-
velopment Of delusional insanity. The
first symptoms would probably be hal
locations or illusions, leading to delu-
sions, and eventually to the idea Of
prosecutions. A patient imagines GER
tain persons are conspiring against
him"
Mr.. Howard asked number of hy-
pothetical questions, to which objection
was made and sustained in several in
sances. In reply to further questions,
DR.. Myers said that such a letter as
DR.. Hissom wrote from Germany to
his mother, would create a very
grave suspicion that he was a degen-
crate"
The REORGANIZATION was conduct
ed by Mr.. Schuck.
'If the letter referred to here were
written in reply to letter of the same
character, containing similar language
would you consider both parties de-
generates?"
''To certain extent I would. That
character of writing would indicate
certain mental degeneracy, not neces-
ksarily insanity"
could it not be true that a person
could write letter containing loath-
some language if it were the language
used in the associations at homer"
THAT might cause me to modify my
opinion. l would give him an excuse
for that"
What is delusional insanity?"
Simply an unsound mental condi-
ton, based upon a delusion."
DR.. Myers was pressed for a fuller
