YESTERDAY'S STOCK MARKET.
Pennsylvania Takes & SpnFt of Two Points but secedes Before the Close.

EOdhse uNt GseStWFp thG ttNre'
 New York, May days early stock market did not give good promise of maintaining the strength which de- veloped yesterday. But the announce
 ment that a bankers syndicate had
 been formed to underwrite the new
 Pennsylvania stock issue caused a sud- den upward spurt in that stock to a level of points over last night. The stock held that point but momentarily and did not get back to the top level
 again for the rest of the day. In the
 general market the average high level for the day was touched in the after
 noon, when the preliminary estimates were published of the cash movements for the week, showing an unexpectedly heavy receipt on balance from the in- terior and thus offsetting the week S loss by gold exports, which, it was feared, would make to-morrow's bank return very weak.
 uEIe was SOLllClSHL StlllIR GO take profits during the last hour to make considerable inroads upon prices, and the closing was dull and heavy below the best. The net changes for the day
 are mostly small and are mixed be-
 tween gains and losses.
 There was continued heavy selling this morning of St. Paul, and the Fries and United States Steel stocks were in- clined to be reactionary the latter OH account of the further cut in prices of iron. Union Pacific was inclined to lag l throughout the day in spite of the
 claim of definite settlement of its la Dor dispute.
 The news of the underwriting of the Pennsylvania stock issue did not hold it's first stimulating influence. The un- derwriting is, in effect, protective
 measure to assure the taking up of the issue at 120, at which price it was offer ed to stockholders. When the offer was made Pennsylvania was selling above 140 so that the right to subscribe at 120 seemed sufficiently attractive. But from the first knowledge of the issue l there has been persistent selling of the SLock dSalnSl the eApeCteu new issue, 1 and of the rights to subscribe to the
 new stock. The decline this week to | 125h brought within measurable dis
 tance the extinguishment of the value of the stockholders rights to subscribe. Sterling exchange broke fully 25 points further to-day in response to the | reduction of the Bank of England rate.
 London continued to buy stocks here ] to-day, thus increasing the supply of exchange.

ENDED WITH A REVIEW.
Military Maneuvres at Camp Young
are Finished.


Camp Young, West Point, KY, Oct.
10.-ThOusands of men in khaki and
blue, with the October sun shining
athwart company alignments with
arms at port passed in front of Maj
Gen. Bates and his staff in the pres
ence of large crowd Friday. The
twice deferred review of all the
troops at Camp Young was most
brilliant event and practically
brought to close the combined man
euvers of the regulars and national
guardsmen which have been in pro-
gress for ten days.
The alignments during the review
were excellent, the Michigan brigade
making perhaps the best showing of
the national guard regiments, with
Indiana close second.
All the national guardsmen were
paid off Friday. The men were paid
for the time beginning with mobiliza-
and disbandment there. They re-
ceived the same pay as the regular
troops.
The militia will commence breaking
camp to-day.
The umpires met yesterday and dis
cussed the maneuvers in which the
state troops participated. 1t was the
general opinion that the maneuvers
had been of great benefit to the
troops, but that most of them were
unprepared for such extended work.

The outbreak occurred about 6:30
p. m, just as the prisoners were be
ing placed in their cells for the night
by guards wilkins and Jacobs. The
affair was eXeXcuted with such precis-
ion that il must have been carefully
planned beforehand. Two of the
prisoners overpowered Wilkins and
Jacobs, the former being shot and

| frightfully beaten. The convicts
took the prison keys from the guards
and released five other prisoners who

MINE DISASTER.
Two Men Killed and Five Badly In-

of Coal Cars.

Jured by the WreeIking of Train
of Coal Cars.
Johnstown, Pa, Oct. 10.-The break
ing of "dilly" rope in the Sunshine
mine of the Stineman Coal Co. at
South Fork yesterday, caused the
death of two men and the serious and
perhaps fatal injury of five more. A
long train of cars was being hauled
from the mine by an endless rope.
The heading leading out of the mine
was a steep grade and when near the
top the rope parted or the coupling
broke. The long train of loaded cars
started backward at high rate of
speed. When the bottom was
reached the foremost car left the
track. The remaining cars piled up
in heap. blocking the main heading
for so feet.
When the train started for the
mine number of men on their way
home from work climbed aboard.
Owing to the swift descent of the
"dilly" they were unable to get off
and were buried in the wreckage at
the bottom of the incline. Irving
Oakes and an unknown foreigner
were killed, while five other foreign
ers were so badly injured that death
will probably result.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Conservatism - the Rule In Nearly
All Branches OF Business.

New York. Oct. 10.-R. &. Dun 81
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
There have been no developments
of Importance in the commercial
world. As a rule there is more eau
tion in making contracts, especially
among manufacturers. Uneasiness
regarding the financial situation re
cedes as the season advances without
producing any monetary pressure III
connection with the crop moving.
The proposed reduction in pig iron
output has been endorsed by all lead
ing producers. steadying prices Just
! when changes in freight rates started
another reduction. Other manufac-
turing news is favorable except where
the raw material markets are unset
tied, or labor struggles cause trouble.
! Reduced dividends and curtailed
| production in the iron and steel in
duStry show that conservatism is in
creasing and that there is no dispo-
sition to disguise the fact that bust
ness is not progressing without inter
ruption. Yet there is nothing alarm
ing in the situation, and a few years
| ago the contracts now in sight would
| have assured full occupation for all
plants.
Prices receded as it became appar
ent that the industrial boom was in
terrupted, and it is now found desir-
able to shut down plants not thor
oughly equipped. Already the effect
is felt in the greater urgency to place
| contracts by concerns that were wait
ing for the most favorable terms.
Railways are seeking much new
equipment, giving this branch of steel
products better tone than other
departments, while more bridge con-
] tracts are being placed.

TORRENTIAL RAINFALL.

.ParaIyzed.


New York, Oct. 1O.-Torrential rain,

and continuing with scarcely any in
termission until late Friday after
noon, Curing which time the unpre-
cedented precipitation of 1904 inches
was recorded at the local weather
bureau. laid New York City and all
the surrounding country under Il
flood, causing damage that will
amount to many hundred thousands
of dollars.
Reports of extensive foods aud ser
lous damage to property and inter
ruptions of traffic came from almost
all sections of New Jersey and Long
Island. In Newark. Passaic and other
large manufacturing centers many
factories were closed down owing to
the flooding of engine rooms. In
many places electric light and power
plants were shut down for the same
reason. The Ramapo river at Pomp-
ton broke, flooding the valley for ten
miles, but causing no loss of life.
Paterson was one of the worst Suf-
ferers and for a time there was grave
danger of a repetition of the terrible
disaster of last February.
Two deaths due to the high winds,
were reported last night. At York,
Pa, Walter Roger, 12-ycar-old boy,
was standing on the bank of the city
reservoir when the wind swept him
! into the water and he was drowned.

drowned in the same manner. He
was standing on the bank of Crum
creek and was blown into the creek,
which was very high.
