ENNIS EXECUTED AT SING SING


 The Policeman Murderer Was Detected
 in Sharnning Insanity.
 Ossining, N. T., Dec. 14.--William H. Ennis, the former Brooklyn policeman, convicted of the murder of his wife in January, 1902, was put to death this morning in the electric chair in Sing Sing prison. Two shocks were given. This was the forty-third execution by electricity at Sing Sing. !, ,ss 9.. Dr. Irvine, the prison physician, told this morning of the test made about ten days ago by commission to determine Ennis sanity. Ennis had claimed that he could not walk without assistance, and even when he had a man support ing him on either side he would walk only on his toes. The commission put Ennis slightly under the influence of ether. Then they showed him from the table on which he had been lying, and, with his brain still cIouded from the ef- fects of the ether, he walked across the room without difficulty. Then as he fully recovered from the influence of the drug he broke down and made a full confession, saying that he had been shanmfng.

 New York, Dec. 14.-Trading in stocks
 to-day fell sharply below last weeks
 average of activity, the days total
 hardly exceeding 5oo,00o shares. The market, however, showed we'll sus-
 tained strength and closed at the top level of the day, or near it. There was
 considerable early hesitation, but the
 gradual advance met with few set backs, and the occasional intervals of dullness when the buying was inter-
 mitted were followed by no important reactions. The action of the market
 was a disappointment to the bear ele- ment, and their buying to cover fur-
 nished one of the important sustaining influences. In Pennsylvania and Unit
 ed States Steel preferred particularly there was a cessation of the pressure which kept the whole market untset- tied during the latter part of last week, and which was believed by the bears to herald a renewed decline.
 There is 8 speculative party in the market which avews the conviction that the recent considerable recovery in stocks has simply represented q nor- mai reaction from the preceding pro- longed decline and that with the cul-
 imitation of the recovery a decline of
 still greater force is in prospect. The short duration of last weeks reaction was in itself Encouragement to the followers of this opinion, and they | were inclined to reverse their position
 when prices started upwards again.
 The more cheerful tone of the London
 market was a helpful factor here and
 buying orders for London account gave | it a substantial backing. London took more hopeful view again of the out l look for peace in the far east, and the l discount market there worked easier. Sterling exchange ehere was very firm,
