Meyer & Kiser's Telegram.l
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Material weakness
developed in United States Steel again to-
day and in the other steel and iron and
railroad equipment stocks which have been
the bane of the market for several days.
The result naturally was weaker market
and an increase in activity at the expense
in prices. 1t seems absurd for a per cent
stock, such as United States Steel common
to sell at IL, but that figure was reached
to-day. The selling of the stock cannot be
attributed wholly to bearish operations, and
liquidation was clearly in evidence. Pitts
burg advices with regard to trade conditions
were not reaSSuring, but that would seem to
be the worst news that has developed with
reference TO the Steel shares. Directors of
the corporation have been quoted as posi-
lively asserting that no reduction in the
dividend OF the common stock is cOntem-
plated and that the corporation would be
fully able TO maintain the prices of its fin
ished product. Certainly, there is nothing
that can be adduced to explain the extreme
weakness of this security except it be to
go back 10 the forma ton of the company
and the Overcapitanzation and innatlon
then perpetrated. The corporation is cap
itaiized on prospective earnings, not
assets, and this new financial theory in its
development has begotten dstrust.
The opening stock market showed frac-
ti0nal declines throughout the list. Activ-
lty developed primarily in the steel stocks,
and the whole list eaSed OFF. Expectation
OF a poor bank statement helped the decline.
Before the end of the first hour a some
what steadier tone developed, due to the
covering of some short contracts put out
by traders during the past few days. Be
fore the bank showing was made public
some very good buying of railroad stocks
was in evidence. The railroad list again to-
day manifested relatively healthy tone,
and the granger stocks acted notably well.
American Car and Foundry was a particu-
larry weak industrial and the other stocks
in the steel business with the exception OF
T., c. * /. showed some strength to-day.
The bank statement was a little better than
expected, but that is all that can be said
for ii.

IPorterfield & Co.'S telegram
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-The opening was
about on a parity with last nights close,
but weakness soon developed in the iron
and steel issues. Steel common sold down to
II, the lowest record. Naturally the rails
sympathized in the early decline, but upon
the appearance of the bank statement,
was considerable covering, in which Atchi-
son was the leader. There is a pool in this
stock. The hard coalers, under the lead
of Reading, were sold by Pittsburg and
showed little recovery, while on the other
hand Baltimore * Ohio recovered it's early
loss. The monetary situation is still the
controlling influence, but the short interest
is assuming large proportions and il looks
as If the grain carrying roads were safe

STOLEN COAL F0UUD
IN MANY CELLARS
South Wilmington Residents
Getting Supply at Steel
Company's Expense

A raid upon the cellars of South
Wilmington houses on Saturday by the
police brought to light where the coal
that has been rapidly disappearing
from the Diamond state Steel Com
pany's yard had been taken.
For some time the company has been
aware that coal in large quantities was
being stolen from their plant. The
matter was reported to the police. and
yesterday two officers followed a man
who had taken fuel from the yard.
When he reached home the officers en-
tered the house and found a supply in
the cellar almost enough to last the
family through the winter. Other
houses were entered and in several
were found the soft coal stolen from
the works.
1t is said that 100 tons were stolen
last year, but on account OF the scar
city of fuel the firm did not push the
cases, but they are going to break it up
now.
The coal piles have been rapidly go
ing down for some time. but the cases
may not be brought up in court. a
warning being sufficient in the minds
Of the company to break up the prac-
tice.

EDITORIAL OPINION
A FareiaI Verdict.
le PhlIadelnhia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Trial by jury has proved a wretched
farce in South Carolina. J. II. Till
man on a public street IN the city Of
Columbia, in broad daylight, in the
presence OF many witnesses, shot and
killed n. G. Gonzl les, who was un-
armed and able to make no resistance.
.Tillman was prepared and his opponent
was unprepared for hostilities. No
words were exchanged. The men we're
bitter political opponents. and Tilman
selected his time and killed his op-
ponent when he could do so with no
personal risk to himself.
In the face Of these facts a sympa-
thetic jury sets Tillman free by pro-
nouncing the verdict of mot guilty"
The jurymen had no doubtful evil
cence before them. They simply did
not propose to punish Tlllman for kill
ing o. political opponent. and so they
agreed TO a verdict which, though di-
rectly opposed to the facts. would re-
lease the eX-Lieutenant Governor of
the state from the penalty which the
law prescribed for the crime Of murder
Gonzales was the editor of "a paper
opposed TO Tillman. He had criticised
him In his paper severely and ever
violently, and Tillman IN his political
course gave ample grounds for ex-
treme denunciation by decent men.
Tilman says he would have challenged
Gonzales TO a duel, but he feared inn
peachment by the Legislature. There
fore he resorted TO the safer course OF
assassination.
The thin fgment Of defense set up by
Tlllman was that he believed his own
life was in Immediate danger and that
he acted, as he supposed, i'm self-de-
fensc The evidence shows that he
had no ground for such apprehension
except his own fears. only an arrani
coward would imagine that an unarmed
and unthreatcning man was about To
kill him. The plea of self-defense has
never before been extended so far as
to protect a man who shoots down an
other because he supposed that he was
In danger from him.
We do not believe that even South
Carolina viii accept responsibility for
Tlllmans crime by continuing to honor
Gonzales assassin. Since last jan
uary Tillman has not been in publ
Office. South Carolina win be shamed
before the country IL it does not con-
denim the slayer of n. G. Gonzales to as
complete obscurity as It is possible to
envelop him. II murder goes unpun-
ished in South Carolina, at least it
need not be honored.

Methodism and Americanism, so to
speak, are closely akin.
Each was a protest against tyranny
and corruption Of the Ola World. The
one against religious corruption and
vice; the other against civic corruption
and licentiousness.
Each repudiated and broke loose
from the forms and systems Of the old
World, and started on new lines with
unbounded freedom. seeking new ideals
and higher possibilities os human de-

While John Wesley was tho founder
or Methodism, yet American Methodism
owes more to Francis Asbury than any
other one man. Wesley was not In sym.
pathy with American life. His three
Years mission TO the state of Georgia,
from 1859 was a dismal failure.
Asbury on the other hand, was in
full sympathy with the American cause

SOME ENCOURAGEMENT.

The Republicans Of Delaware who
have SO long fought the battle for party
decency and who have passed through
80 many discouraging contests should
take heart Signs are not wanting to
indicate that peace with honor may be
near at hand. Tho one element that
has played so important a part in dis
rupting the party may be. lacking in
fufure contosts and without that tle-
ment the party may re-unite on its
old basis. When the day for our re-
hahilitation comes we must be wary
of leaders who are inspired solely by
greed. For the rest, let us ask no
questions but accept as a worker every
man who Processes a belief In the
principles of the Republican party and
who will not see it made the tool Of
any man.
Go out into the broad world and seek
its opinion Of Delaware politics. Hear
what the press, the pulpit the leaders
of public thought think of our affairs.
IT isn't a pleasant story Yet the
world is not deceived. 1t has studied
us. sounded our depths and fathomed
our motives. Protestations OF innocence
are in vain. We have our record and
we are judged by it. Such exhibitions
OF venalty and Of bossism do not rep
resent our better nature. In the ma
ture OF things they must be only tenn
