d Bale I'm Price.

BOSTON, May 21-At the close of BUSH
ness in the speculative markets to-day the
situation indicated that the furry of the
last two days on the Boston Stock Ex-
change was at an end. Following yester-
days tremendous decline in Canadian Sc
curities there was heavy selling in them
when the market opened to-day, but after
the first violent plunge stocks steadied, and
at the close to-day's losses had been re-
gained.
The interest in the excited cotton market
was great all day. Partly as a result of
the wide fluctuations in cotton the failure
of F. NJ. Tucker & Co.. bankers and brokers
of this city, was announced on the floor Of
the Stock Exchange this afternoon. 1t is
understood that the concern has liabilities
approaching a quarter Of a million. The
firm is member of the Exchange. and also
holds membership with the New York Cot
ton Exchange. 1t has been doing a large
commission business. The firm is composed
of Frederick NJ. Tucker and Tracey II.

1893. The assignee, Hollis r. Bailey, an at

ments and to secure an equal distribution
of their assets. The failure is due to their
having lent money on securities which,
while valuable. not readily convertible
into cash.

UNUSUAL CASE DECIDED.
Title 20 Property Worth 100000 De-
pended on Paternity of Child.

PITTSBURG. Pa, May H.-The end Of one
of the most SENSATIONAL cases ever tried in
the United States Circuit Court came to-
day when the jury In the case of Beverly
Robinson against Robert s. Stephenson and
others, returned a verdict for the defend
ants. The case was for eighteen feet of prop
erty on Wood street worth about 100000
and involved the paternity of a child. The
plaintiff claimed title through child which,
he alleged, was born to his wife, who was
his cousin Miss Katherine Vera Robinson
They were married In December 1896 and
II is alleged the child was born in March,
1897, in Omaha, where they had gone to
avoid publicity. Robinson and his wife were
accompanied TO Omaha by Mrs. David Gregg
Metheny, sister of Mrs. Robinson. The fam
ily came East after the birth of the child
and in the summer of 1898 they spent sew
eral weeks at Fair Haven, VT. One day
Mrs Metheny was seized with commissions
and died very suddenly. The next morning
Mrs Robinson and the child were dead.
both having been shot. The suicide or muir
der of the woman and the murder of the
child were testified to during the trial The
defense was that the child was not the child
of Mrs Robinson, but was the child Of Mrs
Metheny. Metheny is one of the defendants
and the verdict gives him the title through
the child born TO his wife.

It has been learned from reliable
source that the Virginia Passenger and
Power Company are at present negotiat-
ing for a lot of land in Manchester,
where 1t is proposed to erect large car
barn. in which 1t is proposed to house
the cars of the Richmond and Petersburg
line and the vehicles which operate be.
tween this city and Manchester.
Recently President Sitterding and 9TH
er persons Interested In the company
have made several trips to Manchester
and a number of suitable sites have
been inspected by them, but no definite
choice has been made.
It is probable that the question will be
taken UP at meeting of the Board Of
Directors to be held In the near future,
after which the deal will be consum-
mated and plans for the barn made at
once. II is the desire of the company
to have the building completed by next
summer, when much additional space
will be needed for the new cars which
will be brought In to accommodate the
ever-ncreasing business.
In this same connection 1t is said that
when the company purchases the prop
erty In Manchester they will acquire suf-
f1clent land to enable them to add to the
place from time to time, as they are de.
