HOG PRICES
SUSTAINED
Other Markets Showed Weak
ness but Steady to Strong Here
TOP PRICE WAS S7.42 10
Cattle Receipts Were L. ger
Market Generally 10 to
Is Lower.

The hog market was top heavy and
showed a tendency to lower prices in 9TH
er markets, but here prices were well
maintained because Of the excellent quail
ity of the bulk of the offerings. The
packers want good heavy hogs and they
are slow TO bid lower prices when they
can get that kind. The receipts were
light but that was expected. Cudahy
wanted good hogs and he cleared the
yards of all offerings about as fast as
they arrived. Arnour's buyer was pres
sent and wanted hogs, but the number on
sale was too small for division and he held
of, hoping for better supply the last CT
the week. 1t was thought that the heavy
rain last night would stop the farmers
from work and give them a chance TO
market hogs and If that turns out TO be
true more hogs would naturally be ex-
pected in few days. The top load OF
hogs brought s7.4215 and they were well
finished and Of good quality. Two other
loads were sold that averaged the same,
2S2 pounds. One brought $3.50 and the
other being a little more even went a. two
and a half cents better. These hogs all
sold strong as compared with the prev
ious days sales. Others Of lighter weight
brought about steady prices.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 1S.-Leaders in the bull
campaign in stocks made more aggres-
sive demonstration today than at any
time Size the campaign was begun. The
market broadened and there was a
material decrease in activity. the volume
of dealings rising over that for any one
day since some time before the first Of
the present month The strength In the
market was pretty generally disseminated
through the railroad list. but the indus
trial department as a whole was a con-
spicuous exception 70 the strength pre-
vailing elsewhere. There was little news
to account for the rising tendency. The
bulk Of the operations was attributed 10
the western speculative party which was
credited yesterday with having secured
a corner en- the July option in corn. The
distress Of the shorts in the corn market
this morning seemed TO give effect TO the
determination Of the stock market but
the sharp reaction later IN corn did not
alter materially the tone Of the stock
market. The news OF the day was rather
adverse to other rises in stocks.
Money was easier in London. but higher
rates are looked for there before the end
OF the month. owing TO semi-annual re-
quirements. The depression OF industrials
today was in market contrasts to the
strength OF the railroads. The dribblng
liquidation in the United States steel
stocks continued and sugar was weak.

Mother Against Sons.

Judge A. A. Vosburg, in the orphans
court, yesterday, heard evidence III an
interesting and unusual case
John T. Williams died in Carbondale,
leaving will in which he appointed
two of his sons, Thomas and David,
executors. They filed an inventory OF
his personal estate, but the widow,
Ann williams, filed exceptions to it,,
claiming that two bank accounts should
be included among the assets of the
estate. 1t appeared. by the evidence
taken, that Mr.. Williams had deposit
i'm the Miners and Mechanics bank, of
s3,l29.G4, and in the First National
bank. of S79l. SO; but it was also shown
that shortly before his death he dl-
rected the officers of the banks to make
the larger deposit payable to his son
Thomas j. Williams, and the smaller
one To David Williams. The books
were so marked, and were delivered by
the estator TO his sons, who now claim
that they are entitled TO those deposits,
The widow alleges that this money
belongs to the estate, and she offered
evidence to show that the First Ma
tional bank deposit was drawn by the
executors in their representative cap
acity. The hearing of evidence was
not completed, but will be resumed on
the 18th inst. Attorneys j. ii, TorreS
and c. 4. Battenberg appeared for the
widow. Judge +. y, Willard represent
ed Thomas j. Williams, and Attorney
II. d. Carey was counsel for David
Williams.

REQUISTTIoN HAS ARRIVED.
Hovenkamp to Be Taken Back to
Binghamton.

Requisition papers arrived here yes
terday for John T.. Hovenkamp, who is
wanted in Binghamton to answer the
charges of larcenyNand attempting to
kill. An officer is expected to come for
him today.
Hovenkamp and pal named Myers
were caught stealing copper from street
arc lamps. City Detective Stevenson,
in attempting to arrest them. was fired
upon. They got away and all track Of
them was lost for several weeks.
January 4. last, man was killed on
the railroad at Carbondale No one
could identify him. The day following,
stranger, giving his name as Brown
and his residence as Newark, n. j.,
went to the morgue and stated that he
recognized the dead man as one John
f. Hovenkamp. of Binghamton.
Three days later, Detective Stevenson
was in Scranton, looking around for
the trail of Brown, of Newark" being
satisfied that Brown, of Newark" was
none other than Hovenkamps pal
Myers of Binghamton.
In turning corner on his way from
the station to city hall, the detective
was startled by almost colliding with
Hovenkamp, who, according to the
newspaper reports. had been buried in
Carbondale the day before.
Hovenkamp was seized and taken to
police headquarters. He admitted that
it was his pal Myers. who had been
killed, and that he was the Brown, of
Newark" who had identified the dead
stranger as himself. 1t was decided to
Jail him for three months on a charge
nf or,.n hot hn ,ieyl bn
4 reuuisition could be secured.
Detective Stevenson was in the city
yesterday, when the requisition papers
arrived, and wanted to take Hoven-
kamp back with him. The papers, how
ever, had another officer, Under Sheriff
Worthing, named as the party to whom
he should be delivered. and on the ad-
vice of Judge Edwards, whom Sheriff
Schadt consulted, Hovenkamp was kept
to await the arrival of the officer named
in the requisition.

| that amount, and Mr.. Silliman approved
of It, Mr.. Gallagher cashed the voucher
and distributed 1t among the three
councilmen.
NOT GIVEN AS BR1BES.
The passes distributed among the
councilmen were not given as bribes,
Mr.. Gallagher frankly admitted. 1t was
customary with the company to fur
nish free transportation to the officials
of the municipalities through which the
lines of the company passed. The
southern end of the Tavlor line pro-
jected some little distance into Old
Forge and when this was brought to
the company's attention, 1t extended to
the Old Forge officials the same cour-
tesy as to the others. 1t was explicitly
stated to those receivin" the passes,
Mr.. ullagher said, that the passes
We're not intended in the nature of u
bribe. Two of the councllmen who did
not vote for the ordinance had pass
books, Mr. Gallagher said.
The cross s-eXamination OF Mr.. Gal
lagher was conducted by Mr.. O'Brien.
He brought out from the witness the
fact that p. Mulherin was consulted
about the matter of giving the borough
some COMPENSATION or bonus for the
passage OF the ordinance and that Mr..
N1ulherin suggested donation of $500
to each of the two largest churches.
Mr. Gallagher carried the suggestion to
Mr. Silliman, and Mr.. Silliman endorsed
1t. A check for $500 for the italian
church and $500 in cash for Father
Jordan's church We're given to Mr.. CAL
lngher. Mr. Gallagher asked for cash
for Father Jordan. as Father Jordan
refused to take a check. The check
and cash, according to Mr. Gallagher,
We're delivered to the two pastors. re-
spectively. This closed the common
wealth's testimony.
The check was delivered the defense
will show, If the case goes to the jury,
but il will be proven. 1t is claimed,
that Father Jordan did not receive the
money: in fact. that when the matter
was broached to him he became very
indignant and not only refused to have
anything to do with the matter. but
said he would use his efforts to prevent
the italian pastor from accepting it.
Mr.. Gallagher admitted, in answer to
Mr. O'Bren's questions that after he
left the employ of the company he ap-
piled for Mr.. Silliman's position, and
that he has frequently written articles
for the Sunday papers severely criti-
ciZing Mr.. Silliman.

Waters of the Gunnison Grand Can
yon to Be Diverted.

During the past season Il notable
survey has been carried to completion
in western Colorado by the United
States geological survey. For q num-
ber of years the question of the Drac-
ticability of diverting water from the
Grand Canyon of the Gunnison river
for the reclamation of lands in the Tn
compahgre valley, has been pariod!-
cally agitated. Previous guglngs and
measurements by the geological sur
Vey and local engineers had shown that
the waters of the Gunnison were sufi-
cient in quantity, and the bed of the
stream high enough in elevation, to
make the plan feasible. This seasons
work was devoted to finding the short
est route and the probable cost of con-
struction of Il diversion canal. Owing
to the fact that the water must be
taken from an uneXplored canyon of
about two thousand feet in depth. and
of unknown danger, the work proved
TO be extremely difficult. 1t was, how
ever, successfully accomplished the
canyon being thoroughly explored and
photographed by \. l.. Fellows, whose
work stands as one of the most daring
and difficult achievements of the year
in the annals of the survey.

the falls and rapids, and by climbing
along the preciptous walls, finally
coming out at the lower end after days
and nights of hardship. The results of
the survey show that tunnel about
six miles in length is necessary TO

arid lands. ana that the cost will be
