A QUALIFICATION.
The Uproar Club at Wrights.


The annual jollifcation of the Up
roar club which took place at Wright's,
Norris Cove, one evening this week was
as intended the best the club has ever
held and afforded the richest fun. The
organization is composed of prominent
young married and single men living in
the vicinity Of Cedar Hill, and it's chief
object is sociability and innocent amuse-
ment. Joseph Nonna acted as chair
man Of the affair and he held the reins
in good shape despite the runaway and
balky efforts of various of the members.
The supper was put up in Manager
Wright's best style and put down by the
Uproarers in their best style also. 1t is
we'll known that there are some swelled
heads among the members, but this
time it was a case of sWelled stomachs.
All the members that could speak and
sing and even some of those that could
MT made some amusing efforts. Pork"
Simpson displayed his vocal abilities
through the medium of rag time selec-
tons which We're greatly enjoyed J.
R0urke, the champion in argument, at
tempted classic description of how to
join a 'lcad-ripe cinch" to a leaky
boiler when the collar and elbow are
dfsiOintcd. He was ruled out Of order
by Chairman Fonna and compelled to
take his seat uttering volcano Of pro-
testations. It was . o'clock when the
party broke up fatigued, full and fit for
bed. The next number on the Uproar-
ers' programme is a dance which will
be given just as soon as warm weather
comes for the Uproarers always do
everything out Of season--eat shore din
ners in winter and dance in summer.

McCOLIFF WAS CARELESS.
Coroner Renders His Verdict as tt
Death Of Owen Moran.

Coroner Renders His Verdict as to
Death of Owen Moran.
Coroner Mix late yesterday afternoon
issued his finding on the death of Owen
Moran, the lineman who was shocking
ly burned by an electric light wire at
Milford last Wednesday. He finds that
Moran's death was caused by the omiS-
sion and carelessness Of Jeremiah Nc
Coliff, general foreman Of the Western
Union Telegraph company.
On the Saturday preceding the lay of
the accident McColiff went to Bridge
port and saw G. A Pail. manager Of
the United Illuminating company. This
company lights Milford, and it's wires
are on the poles owned by the telegraph
company. Mr. McCOHff told Mr., Pail
that he wished to arrange matters SO
that his men could work in safety on The
poles.
McC0liff stated to the coroner that he
understood that Mr.. Pail stated That
$3.50 was the usual time to turn on the
current is the day was dark and 1870
if the day was bright.
1t was agreed between them that On
Monday and Tuesday the power should
not be put on until o'clock Monday
the agreement was carried out and the
linement worked. On the next day the
weather prevented the linemen from
working.
When the lincmen went to Milford
Wednesday morning Of last week the
current was still on, and Mr.. McColiff
telegraphed to Pail. Pail answered by
wire that he would turn off the current
at once, and that he would again return
to the regular schedule.
BY this schedule McColifr understood
the current would be switched on at
$50. AS a matter Of fact the current
was turned on an hour earlier with
fatal results to Moran.
This misunderstanding on the part of
McColiff was held by the coroner to be
careless.
1t is not likely that any criminal
proceedings will be taken, the coroner
said.

TESTERD4T'S STOCK MARKET.
Constant Fluctuations Over Narrow
RRnge.


New York, Jan. 14-T0-day's I'M
steady and sp0tty stock market s. emed
to represent nothing more than the eff
forts of professional traders to find
purchasers for shares. The constant
fluctuations over narrow range testi-
fed to tire difficulty they found, The
volume Of transa ttions fell off to little
more than three quarters of million
shares, or about one-half the business
Of last Friday, when the activity of
the present movement reached its cul
mination. or to-day's dealings ne less
than 100000 shares were of Erie. The
continued activity in that stock is the
subject of the greatest interest in Wall
street at present and surmise eXhausts
itself to account for it. The failure of
Rock Island to move with it to-day
discredited previous rumors that Erie
was being sought for an eastern outlet
Of the Rock Island syster. The other
coalers were inclined to move with the
Erie to-day and there was Il DISPOSE
ton to attach Importance to the folm-
alton of the so-Called Eastern Security
company as probably concerned with
further developments in the COnsolida-
tiOn of the anthracite industry. Man
haitian was strong for time, supposed
~ on account Of the coming operation
of the lease to the Inter- Borough Tran
sit company, but the stock reacted with
some violence to a point below last
night. Western Union was helped by
the injunction against the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad company. Sugar was first
strong and then weak, after the report
of the annual meeting Of stockholders
showed that higher dividends We're not
to be expected at present. An incident
of the day were sales of Canada South
ern and of Michigan Central, the for
mer at a decline of ~ and the latter
at decline Of 4SM from the last pre-
ceding sales some time ago.
Aside from these special movements
the market was dull throughout and
had little of interest. Realizing sales
met advances in all cases, discouraged
the professional element and led to the
sharp break in the afternoon, which
carried the average level Of prices well
below last night This was particular
ly evident in Rock Island. The closing
was steady on some rallying after the
break.
Sterling exchange cased off material
" to-day and rose at Paris, thus wild
ening the margin from the gold export
point. Call money was appreciably
easier, and some large time loans ma
turing o-day were renwede by the lar
gest bank in the city at 5 per cent.
Money continues to flow into the local
banks both from the ub-treasury and
from the interior. All this did not pre-
vent reaction.
Bonds were quite active and We're
firm early, but became irregular when
the stock market turned weak The
total sales, par value, aggregated 81
$50, 900.
United States bonds were unchanged
