NEW YORK, April 23.--AFter Mon
days unparalleled transactions the
market opened slightly stronger .aan
at the close Of the previous day, being
materially aided by an advance OF "
70 Y in London. After small open
ing advance the market reacted slight
ly, but rallled with heavy transactions
in Union Pacific common, which went
UP 10 101A. United States steel stocks
were very strong about noon, and the
transactions were heavy, preferred go
Ing to S5 and common TO 47M. A good
deal Of buying was attributed to syn
dictate pool In charge OF Keen, and the
best people are very strongly inclined
10 be bullish
A big selling movement set in about
a1xlf past one to two o'clock, causlng
another decline, In most cases prices
going to the lowest point OF the day.
The market closed heavy. United
States steel suffered during the last
Hour of the market, preferred drop
ping to "a and common to As.
There was very heavy trading in
the western railroads, notably in St.
Paul, Union Pacific common and Goalth-
ern Pacific, st. Paul dropping from Ill
to 1864, closing at 1851, on tra1sac-
tions of $4,000 shares. Union Pacific

irregular. Manhattan opened at 1894
advanced to 1904, and closed at 127M.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit opened at 81,
advanced u, broke to s3A and closed
at 8411s, on a rocky market. Metro

selling down to l431s, and closing at
144H.
Money closed easy at 3131a per cent,
the last loan being 8 per cent. The
teneral tendency OF the market to sag
was due almost wholly to disposition
to take profits and selling foT both ac
counts No unusual conditions or re-
ports were prevalent during the day
The indications for to-dnorrew are
dubious, but may show improved con-
ditions, as there has been a very gen
eral interchange of holdings the last
few days.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Commercial
Advertisers London financial cable
gram:
The stock market was less active here
to-day but firm in tone. The chief in
terest still conferred in the new issues
of eonsols. 1t is understood here that
the public offer here of 6 10000, 900 has
been subscribed for eight times over.
The premiums to-day ranged from u TO
q.
In the American department trading
was less active than yesterday, but bus
mess was still of large volume London
was rather puzzled by the reaction in
New York yesterday afternoon, and is
inclined once more in consequence of it
to take a position on the fence. The
weakest stock In this department was
Atchison common, of which there were
considerable sales, stimulated by ru-
NOR that the impending dividend would
be only one and half, and New York
put some life into the market by caus-
ing a squirt in Northern Pacific, but it
was noticed that under cover OF this
advance other issues were sold. AS re-
suit Of these operations, the tone at
the close was undecided.
The bank bought 100000 OF gold
bars. The consol issue has brought
about heavy inquiry for money, but
the bank shows no disposition to cur
tail its accommodation, loaning freely
at per cent, presumably in order to
facilitate subscriptions.

Shooting Scrape in Rlnggold County

In quarrel over trespassing bull
Jacob Miller shot Robert Skater thru
the thigh Sunday evening, and is held
for assault with intent to commit
murder. Shafer's condition may be
serious. The men own adjoining farms
in Middle Fork township, and are
cousins.
There had been previous friction
between Miller and Shafer over
Shafer's bull getting into Miller's
field. This time Miller sent for Shafer
to come over and get the bull, which
he did, taking with him one of his
neighbers, Elmer Sayille. Words and
possibly blows passed, and Shafer drew
knife Miller went into the house,
returned with rifle, and shot Shafer
in the thigh, the ball passing clear thru
from behind. DIR. P. l.. Prentis of Del
phos was called to dress the wound. 1t
is un derstood that the wound is not
likely to be dangerous unless blood
poisoning should result.
Sheriff H. M. Miller and County At.
torney F. F. Fuller were notified by
phone about 8 o'clock Sunday night.
They drove to Middle Fork and got Mr..
Miller. reaching Mt. Ayr about 5 O'Clock
Monday morning. During the forenoon
Miller, was arraigned before Justice j. N !.
Lineburg, waived preliminary examina-
ton, and was bound over in the sum of
$1,000 to appear before the grand jury.
His attorneys are Henry & Miles and
Spence & Smith.
From the Shafer side of the case. it is
claimed that Shafer offered to pay dam.
ages for the bulls trespass; that he did
not draw his knife until Miller had
pounded him with his fists and driven
him into fence corner; and that he
was talking peaceably with Mrs. Miller
when the shot was fired, From the
Miller side, it is contended that shafer
drew the knife without provocation.
threatened to cut Miller's throat and
refused to leave the premises after
being ordered to do SO.
Both men are reputable citizens and
belong to excellent families. Both men
are married, and have children. If the
neighborhood sympathy leans to either
side it is toward Shafer.-Mt. Ayr Tues,

Robbers Roost In School House.

For about two weeks the teacher and
pupils of White Hall school have been
annoyed by some tramps who seemed
to be making their home up above in
the school house. Friday Sanford Exley
made an investigation finding well ar
ranged place for sleeping. several suits
of clothes and revolver. There have
been several attempts at HOUSEKEEPING
in that neighborhood recently and it is
supposed that the robbery at Elmer
Richmond's two,weeks ago and the at
tempt at Pilfering Dan Miners house
last Sunday was made by these fellows.
A number of the citizens lay In wait for
them Friday evening and after time
one of them made his appearance.
after assuring himself that the coast was
clear he entered the school house, lit a
lamp and prepared to do some reading.
The men followed shortly after, but in
stead of taking him Immediately they
decided to entertain him until others
came up. The tramp was not to be tax.
en- in this manner, however, and he
began backing toward the door, soon
making his escape. Robert Reyard
seized rifle and followed, commanding
him to stop: whereupon the fellow drew
q + uA 0AN PAOPoAOu w ACACAA0 LAuISCIk.
Young Bevard waited no longer, but
fired, striking him in the shoulder, the
ball passing just beneath the skin and
stopping in the region of the breast
bone. After merry chase the injured
man was captured and taken to Smyrna
where DR.. Foxworthy. Of Weldon, was
summoned to dress his wound. The
sheriff Of Clarke county arrived the next
day and he was taken that evening to
Osceola. He said his name was Jas.
Monahan and that he was raised in New
York City. He has bad appearance
and looks to be about 40 years Of age.
This incident caused quite a lot of ex-
element and another tramp was arrest
ed Sunday while resting himself by the
road side just south Of the school house.
After being questioned by the sheriff, he
was thought to be innocent of any mis-.
demeanor and was act at liberty 1t is
safe to assume that no member OF the
tramp fraternity had better frequent
that locality for some time. Leroy Cor.
