THE REVOLVER THAT SHOT LIN
 C0TN

The assassination of President Mo-
 Kinley recalled to George Plowman,
 the we'll know theatrical architect of this city, the murder of President Lin coin by John Wilkes Booth at Ford S Theatre, Washington, D. C., on April A. 1865. Mir, Plowman is the possessor
 of the Derringer, a small vestpocket revolver, from which Booth fired the fatal shot
 Several times it has been doubted that the Derringer which I have is the
 one with which Lincoln was murdered" said MT. Plowman, but there is abso-
 lutely no doubt that 1t is the same
 weapon. Three or four years after the shooting, while George K. Goodwin and myself were running the Walnut Street Theatre in this city, the stage carpenter who was working at Ford's Theatre the night of the assassination put in an appearance at the Walnut Street Theatre. He informed MT. Goodwin (they had been friends for many years) in confidential manner that he had in his possession some thing that had caused him great anx- iety. The carpenter, whose name I do ilOL l0Cdll lUlu NIL. 1OOuWlll III lily presence that he had the Derringer that Booth had used to murder Lin coin.
 "The reason he had not said any thing about it prior to that time, he said, was because he was afraid of be- ing arrested. The carpenter said he picked it up on the stage of Ford's Theatre after Booth had fled to Virginia. He pocketed the weapon and kept it secret. He drew up statement of the occurrence and signed it in our pres ence. Then he gave the Derringer to MT. Goodwin. When MT. Goodwin died his widow made me a present of the weapon, together with the stage car- penter's signed statement"
 MT. Plowman prizes the weapon very highly and no amount of money could purchase it-Philadelphia Inquirer.

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
As Reviewed by the House of Prince &
 Whitely

New York Nov. 14.-With the mys- tery solved regarding the Northern Pa
 cific, Union Pacific, Great Northern
 etc, London opened higher this morn ing, but here it soon became apparent
 that as we said in ours of the eighth | instant insiders discounted the knowl- 1 edge of what yesterday afternoon be- came public property; in other words they disposed of such holdings as be- came temporarily onerous to them and we are afraid that some innocent out siders are holding the bag for a time at least. It is remarkable how in a de- clining market there are so few sus- taining or investment orders that the much advertised broadening market all at once should become a narrow one as it appeared to-day. On the face of it one should think that the large capi- talistic interests would not lend mone- tary aid to the new formations, be it for community of interest" or other wise, except they knew in what way their return will come in the shape of increased earning capacity of the diff ferent corporations or after the securi- ties having been sold down to a point where it will pay them to repurchase their recent sales find their remunera- tion in speculative way.
